Dear Editor:
Pm writing to criticise, but only
in a helpful manner. Because of all
the rain that we have had this winter,
the driveways have become quite
muddy, and deep gulches have been
formed. An attempt was made at
one time to better the drive but as
soon as it rained again the same sit
uation as before prevailed. Queens-
Chicora is being very harshly criti
cised because of this handicap. It
is not only the students and friends
of the college, but also strangers who
wonder and ask why nothing has
been done. Many people park their
cars outside and walk in rather than
drive through the driveway. This
condition is one which can be and
should be remedied in a permanent
way. It is just as im])ortant as
cleaning the building. We want
our college to present a good ap
pearance and invite rather than turn
people away. Queens-Chicora College
would be repaid many times if this
small but urgent matter were at
tended to.
A Student.

YOUR INFLUENCE
Your influence on tlie cam})us can be of little worth to the college if
it is witliout tlu' unselfislmess that marks the Christian life. On our
cam]>n-s, the Student (Jiristian Association, under tlie leadership of Dr.
Howe and Elsie Setzer, has begun a group discussion series of meetings
whicli has as its aim making the campus a better place on which to live.
An informal grou]) joins in an informal discussion every 'ruesday night.
'i’hat group is small. But the doors are open to those of you who
feel that there is a need for Cliristian influence in our campus life. Even
if you hut influence yourself, your time is well spent.
CREED OF A QUEENS CHICORA GIRL
'I’o he adaptable, accepting with good faith the new and the difficult.
'Lo exhibit friendliness, tact, and sympathy in her relation with her
fellow students.
To conduct herself as a true s])ortswoinan in all situations.
'I'o he sincere in all things.
'I'o observe neatness, modesty, and good taste in dress.
To eonduet herself as a gentlewoman both on and off tlie campus.
'I'o '^pply herself with equal diligence to work and play.
'I’o develop lier ])ers()nality, making scholarship, service, leadership, and
cliaracter, the goals of its fulfillment.
'I'o think of God as her Maker, and look to Him for guidance.
To conform to tlie ideals of her college socially, spiritually, and mentally,
thus striving toward fine Christian womanhood.
—Carol Reeves, ’35.
Miss Alina T. Edwards, our own
Miss Edwards, who is such a friend
■to us all. Remember what a splendid
dean she made and how sorry we
were that she had to give tliat
})osition as slie was doing more than
slie could possibly handle. As presi
dent of the A. A. U. W., she is con
tinuing to kee}) up the enviable rec
ord. If you like Latin, you like it
even better when you study it under
Miss Edwards; and if you do not
like it you soon learn to. That’s the
kind of influence Miss Edwards has
over people. You really enjoy doing
things for licr. Plnthusiasm and in
terested, she is always ready to lend
a helping liand or give a kind word
of encouragement. We all know her
clieer_\ hello wliich is so welcome
on a gloomy morning. 'I'ruly we are
])roud of our faculty and it is be
cause of such teachers as Miss
Edwards. Miss Edwards, we rec
ognize you botli as an excellent
teacher and a wortli-while friend.
It is with great jileasure that the
Queens Blinks recognizes a girl of
superior ability and understanding.
She possesses a keen sense of humor
wliich makes her comjianv desirable.
Not only is she clever but slie is a
leader of leaders. She is distinctive
in type as well as scholarsliij). A
student government worker who still
has “that feeling” for the girl-—a
dependable and efficient individual,
as well as a swell person—W(

THE LIBRARY
Miss Harrill came before the student cliapel recently with her yearly
apiical for observance of library regulations. Miss Harrill’s talk was most
entertaining and delightful as it always is. But one of the most delightful
things tliat she said was that the students this year liave been more
considerate of tlie use of the library. Perhaps there is not an “intellectual
curiosity" that there has been on the campus, yet we feel that we should
all pat ourselves on the hack for good library behavior.
We have proved ourselves worthy of jiraise. I.et us remain worthy
of Miss Harrill’s ]iraise.
Mexico is undergoing a renais
sance comparable with, but not like
the European renaissance of the
sixteenth century. The Indians are
building up a country in the Western
hemisphere in wdiich the red man will
be supreme. They are protecting them
selves by laws so set up that the
whites can no longer exploit tliern.
Although the present population of
Mexico is a mixture of white and
Indian, absolute democracy prevails."

partment of Romance languages at

Cake Soap or
Shampoo
/?!/ Hei.k.va RuBixrsTKirj-
One of the eorninonest miscon
ceptions people have about their hair
is that the less they wash it, the
better. Apparently they consider
hair in the same category as colored
cottons. Wash it often enough and
it will fade, lose its luster, become
utterly dried out.
.\s a matter of fact, this is not
so. Washing is good for your hair
and good for your seal]). If you liave
a slight case of dandruff, frequent
wasliing will probably >i;-l|i it. You
will fliid your liair glossier and silkier,
your scalp as .smooth and glowing as
tlie rest of your skin after a good
shamjioo.
I do not, liowevcr, advise tlie use
of any cake soap for the liair. There
is a very simple purely meehaiiical
reason for this. Pull out one of
your liairs and look at it under a
microscope. Instead of the smootii,
round, rodlike tliread you may have
expected, you will see a rod rougli
with short branclies at frequent in
tervals. When you rub a cake of
soap over your hair, little particles
of soap lodged between the main stem
of the hair and the little branches
that grow out of it like thorns; and
no matter liow often and liow
tlioroughly you rinse your hair, some
of the soap in these interstices fails
to dissolve ami be washed away. Re
sult: Your liair looks tlull and lieavv.
Y’oiir dandruff apjiears to be worse.
A good, mild shampoo like herbal
shamjioo is much better for the liair
and scalp. It washes the hair clean
and rinses out easily. Be sure to
latlicr and rinse your hair twice to
insure getting out all the dust and
particles of grime and fluff your hair
(ollects. And don't use very much
of the shampoo for eitlier lathering.
A little goes a very long way, and
if you wasli your hair once a week,
which you will probably find about
rigid, a dollar bottle of the herbal
shamiioo sliould last three or four
months.
After washing your hair, try at
least every other time to dry it with
a towel. 'Phe massage whicli this
incidentally gives to the scalp is very
botli .scal]i and hair. If
a permanent wave—and
who hasn't these days—you will find
you can set it perfectly well
hair is more than lialf drv.
The sweet romance of Flora Lee
and Bruce is neatly tied up in a
ring now. She won’t say when, but
we have our own ideas.
“I found a million dollar baby in a

she spurns his flattering attentions
but our hero continues his suit with
telegrams and letters. Aw, Rose

All the humping about, you've been

And beer flowed from the water
pump on the Harvard U
campus, so the story goes.
An undergraduate Aladdin wlio
never even rubbed on a Harvard
Lamiioon to transform an old-fasii-
■nned pump into a beer-spouter had
his Ilian—to keep the tank filled witli
enough beer to last 24 hours-spoiled
h.v the alarm of a passing student.
Innocently the discoverer jerked
file handle up and down and steiipcd

Sushed from the mouth and foamed
