ARMISTICE “Who are you, whence come you, and what come you here to do.^” The foreigners are here in our America and they are not being assimilated into the regular citizenry of our country. Say what you will, the melting pot of America has not made a perfect job of it. All foreigners have not melted down into the social organism and had their dross de stroyed. There are organizations secret in their nature, newspapers published in foreign tongues, and agitators who are stirring these unassimilated foreigners into an opposition to all that is good in our American democracy. There are many “isms” here today, and these isms are dangerous in the extreme. There should be a reassessing, and if each foreigner who has not hecome an American citizen cannot give a good account of himself, he should be politely requested to' leave the country. It is time for America to wake up to the dangers that she is fostering within her own borders and keeping under her own pro tection. A few shiploads of deported alien enem.es should do America a deal of good. Our own American citizenry is being under mined as to our independence and self-respect by grants of aid for a living which could be, but is not, earned on our own resources. To quote from Oliver Goldsmith’s Deserted Village in para phrase, “HI fares the land, to hastening ills a prey Where wealth is freely distributed and men decay; Old age pensions and grants may flourish or may fade; Legislatures can make them, as legislatures have made; But an independent citizenry its country s pride Wlien once destroyed can never be supplied.” —Dr. William H. Fraser. THANKSGIVING Not a week away is the day on which we must give thanks for our gifts of a whole year. It isn’t possible, is it? Tliink of thanking for a whole year on one day. That would mean that this day should be wholy consecrated to that effort. That is what we must do. We cannot ))ut off our thanks for that day, but we can set aside that day in particular for that duty. Tlianksgiving this year may be a special day. Make it the best you have had and thank deeply for your many blessings. We can never thank enough. Sally Writes Home To Sis Dear Sis: Well, all the stunt night excitement is finally over and maybe you’ll see me to hear all about it Tlianksgiving day. I am coming home for that turkey dinner, but I’ll have to be back for Friday classes. Now that the stunts are over, we are all counting the days until Thanksgiving and then till Christmas. Just think—we get out the sixteenth for Chrismas shopping, dancing, party ing, etc. Lib Brammer had a row of glass dogs on her dresser about two weeks ago. There were 1.5 dogs, each dog standing for a day. As each day passes she takes one down to keep account of how long it is until Thanksgiving. Speaking of Lib, I guess you’ve noticed her pretty pin. Barbara Davis has just acquired a gorgeous opal and emerald jewelled Pi Kappa Phi pin. It’s a beauty and a real shiner. You know what Sis? There certainly are some puzzling boys over there at Davidson. What’s this I’ve heard about one young gentleman being found under the table in the kitchen of a certain day student’s house ? He says he never woud have been caught if he hadn’t stumbled over that kitchen chair in the dark. Seems the girl came in rather late from a date with another boy and there he was. Another boy that goes regularly with a very prominent Queens girl sort of had her or someone fooled last year. After dates with her, he would call a certain day student who finished last year and ask her for a date. That was last year so I don’t know how things are progressing now but he’s seen right often in Burwell Hall. Well, Sis, I feel like taking off my hat to Dot Wright. Of all the girls I’ve ever seen, I’ve never known one to be so wrapped up in any one boy as she is in some lucky guy in Columbia. Up ’til now we just couldn’t imagine Dot settling down and taking life serious. Rex—we salute you! (P. S. Sis, one of your good friends wrote this and asked to enclose it in your letter.) In my opinion, Sarah Thompson and Jennie Lynn took the cakes playing their parts in stunt night. Sarah made a perfect miller and even wrote home for her outfit. Jennie Lynn says her costume was one of her mother’s evening dresses 15 or more year ago. My—how styles do change ! Mimi Bradham was perfect in her part as the nun. Winnie and Helen Pope made cute rats and Ann Pease was a grand prince charming. The senior stunt was quite appropriate because everyone re members so well the Avon Plalyers production of “The Taming of the Shrew.” Mary McDevitt tells us of a certain young man who goes to her house on certain nights all dressed up. He won’t say where he’s been but we have ways of knowing he makes visits to one of our good friends out here. Sis, that semi-annual Davidson affair was given liere Thursday night. I’m wondering how all those people liked each other. I hear that piles of mail come in to the post office from Davidson this morning. Seems the boys were happy about the whole matter and I know of several girls who are still beaming all over. One of the cute blond members of the sopho more class astonished all her friends by falling asleep one day in chapel. She was so embarrassed that I think she cut chapel several days following that. There’s one girl, better known as Carolyn, whom I've seen actually sound asleep in one class two times. Both times it was on Monday. Sis, you’d better try to come down for our Thanksgiving formal dinner Tuesday niglit. After dinner speaker will be the president of Winthrop College. Mrs. Moseley and Miss Robinson will be presented in a recital after that. Do try to come and I’ll go back with you on Wednesday afternoon. Always, SALLY. Campus Choice Midst the ranks of the juniors, we find another campus choice, quite cos mopolitan, who hails from Charlotte, has a slight Virginian accent, an in terest in Georgia, a fondness for Trenton, New Jersey, and a definite love for Philadelphia, Pa.; not to mention Columbia, S. C., Cedar Bluff, Va., and all points north. The story goes something, like this: She was born on September 22, 1919, at Cedar Bluff, Va., but she has lived in Charleston, W. Va., Hunting- ton, W. Va., Richmond, Va., Lynch burg, Va., and Jacksonville, Fla., be fore moving to Charlotte. She grad uated from Charlotte Central high school and is now studying for an A.B. degree, majoring in history. As a freshman, she was treasurer of her class, a member of the Choral club and of the Book Tea group. In her sophomore year, she was treas urer of the Day Student Council and a member of the stunt night com mittee. This year she is chapel pro gram chairman, assistant business manager of the Queens Blues, a mem ber of Alpha Kappa Gamma, na tional leadership fraternity; and junior stage chairman for stunt night. She is also a member of Kappa Delta social sorority. Her chief joy is heading for points north and as for her ambition, she said she knew she was supposed to have one but just couldn’t think of it right then. Ray Milland is the gentleman who causes palpitations of her heart on the silver screen (only the last phrase should follow gen tleman). For her pet hate, she chalks up a funless life (don’t we all?); and for real good clean fun, I chalk up her experience of last summer when she hauled in a fifty pound tuna lish salad—pardon me, I’m getting ahead of my story—a fifty pound tuna fish off the coast of New Jersey, and from which they ate for some time (this is where the salad was sup posed to come in). There seems to be a “Hank” who is a Kappa Sig down in Columbia and a Georgia Cracker down in Georgia; and then, of course, there’re the “912 boys”, better known •IS the “gashouse gang”, way up thar beyond the Mason-Dixon line in the foine boig of Trenton, New Joisey, where there’s a small joint known as Princeton. But since I’m just a southerner of the old sciiool, you \-ill liave to see her for details. An item worthy of note in her young life, hut also for which you will have to do some jiersonal con tact work, is a garment fashioned from deep purple (yes, I said purple) crepe. ’Tis said to be quite and de cidedly very! (note: see A. Pease for further description). Now, all together, who is it? For shame! Of course you know. It’s Georgie Hurt. Yet, I know, “you knew it all the time!” Foolish Questions Peojile will ask questions of me As they ]iass me every day. And it really is amusing Just to listen to them say: “Why do you not show you’re home sick?” “What news from your folks out there?” “Were you really horn in Congo?" “Have you crossed the ocean fair?” “If it’s true you are from Congo “Please explain why you aren’t black.” “Do you like the U. S. country?” “Do you plan to go straight back “To the land of palms and natives, “I.eopards, Hons, jungles, toft?” “Have you been out hippo-hunting ‘ In a small dug-out canoe?” 'I'liese, and many other questions Folks ask as they stare at me. For I’m a girl from way off yonder From the land called Africee! —Dorothy Longenecker. S* C* A* Corner A new feature in the Cabinet plans at Queens-Chicora, for this year, is the regular monthly Chapel programs. These programs are conducted en tirely by the students on the sub jects of “Campus Ideals”. The topics planned for discussion are: Honesty Unselfishness Friendliness Loyaltv and Co-operation Sincerity Idealism. It is hoped that these programs on vital campus ideals, planned and exe cuted by students, will be a means of impressing upon the student body at Queens, the necessity of every-day Christian living among the students, as no outsider could do. Are you watching the S. C. A. Bulletin Board? Remember to bring your Thanks giving food offering to Chapel next Wednesday. We, you and I, have so much to be thankful for; and there are some who have so little! And don’t forget that we have a Davidson Deputation on schedule for Vespers tomorrow' night. A word to the wise is sufficient. Fashion Fads It’s not often we get around to weddings in this column, but Thor- burn Lillard’s, which is to be this evening, is deserving of special note. Anyone w'ho knows Thorburn w'ill realize that she is definitely made for white satin, a veil and such stuff* Sara Kelly is to be a brides-maid, and the outfit • she is to wear sounds wonderful. Her dress is of a soft shade of rose, moire taffeta and a hooped skirt. A low neck line will be set off w'ith a piece of black vel vet tied about her neck from which W'ill dangle a lovely cameo. In her hair she w'ill w'ear an arrangement of flow'ers dipped over the right eye. You can just visualize what a picture she will make! From the sublime to the usual, may w'e mention one or tw'o outstanding things W'e ve seen on the campus of late: namely, that darling little vest Snoodie Matheson is proudly w'ear- ing. It has tiny checks of black and red and white and w'hen w’orn w'ith her black pleated skirt and a bright red blouse, it's really fetching. No one looks any cuter than Frances Ehrhardt with those curls perched over her brow' and that perky little bow' nestled among tbem. Her suite-mate, Sally McDow'ell, is wearing one of the best looking coats we’ve seen thus far, of a heavenly shade of blue which, I don’t need to tell you, makes her blonde hair and blue eyes even more blonder and bluer. The coat has a huge grey fur collar. All of the fair Queens beauties have finally had their pictures com pleted and now' w'e can scarcely wait to see them. All of the girls were dashing around madly for a while trying to find some dress with a be coming neck-line. We hope they all succeeded. Walking down the hall the other day W'e noticed Eleanor Alexander waiting for a cab and looking very smart in a bright red and black plaid dress, and an off the face, halo-effect black felt hat. She had black shoes, gloves and bag and really looked grand. Speaking of plaids, they are without a doubt good on this campus. Skirts, dresses, and coats are all plaid, and most of them are the height in campus smartness. I looked out life's window' and laughed and lived And learned to smile w ith tears I oday your sluulow falls across my heart's door And breathlessly I await the years. —Henrietta McIver.
