Honor Society Reorganizes For Selma Arncr, Wilson, Is Chief E.vecative The Golden Knot Honor Society of Atlantic Christian College was formed about two years ago by uniting Alpha Delta Chi, an hon orary society for women, and a group of men with the same high ideals. The purpose of this Club is to uphold the ideals of Atlantic Christian College and to recognize and encourage character, scholar ship, leadership, and service. Can didates for membership must have completed three college semesters with an 85 average for men and an 87.5 for women; they must be examples of outstanding moral character; they must possess the desire and ability for constructive leadership; and they must be will ing to serve in upholding the ideals of this organization. This honorary society has only two officers, a president and a secretary-treasurer. Those serv ing now are: Selma Amer of Wil son, president; and James Suber of Selma, secretary-treasurer. These officers were elected at the close of the last school year to serve this year. The other members are Mary Matthews, Sara Jane Rou.se, Mildred Blizzard, Bessie Gray Hearne, Irma Spencer, and Elmer .Mottern. At the close of each school year, the society elects two new spon- sors to serve during the following school year. These are at present Miss Martha Edmondston and Dr. Raymond Morgan. The members are given member, ship in a rather unique way at the end of each year. A very striking and impressive ‘tapping" cere mony is held. All the old mem bers, vested in their flowing black , robes, occupy the seats of honor | in front of the audience. A mem-1 ber of the society who has been designated beforehand as the “tap per” passes through the audience and extends an invitation to thoae who have been chosen to become new members by tapping them on the head with “the Golden Knot” sceptre. The happy victim thm goes up to receive his charge and to be presented a Golden Knot pen, after which he is really a member of the Golden Knot Honor Society. Hii pen bears the Gold en Knot symbol* that stand for character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The Golden Knot Honor Society meets at 4:30 o’clock on every oth er Tuesday afternoon.

If the natlw A whole would tiwki; tine »d an the CoU legians there Would be little chance of our bt ing drawn into an other foreiga c> nflict. Public opin ion and mob psychology practical ly determine whether or not we will be drawn into the war, there fore, if we reasonably control these great inflences we will be controlling the possibilities of war. There were eighty«two girls and tteventy-neven boys participating in the poll. A calendar of the questions and the answers are as follows: 1. Under present conditions, should the United States enter the European war as an active fight ing agent? Answer—girls—yes 1, no 81. boys—yes 8, no 69. 2. If Germany is defeated in the war, do you think the spread of the totalitarian form of govern^ ment will be prevented? Answer—Girls—yes 86, no 46. Boys—yes 30, no 46. S. Under present conditions, should the United States sell mu nitions on a cash basis to any bel« ligerent nations who can call for the items in their own ships? Answer—Girl»~yes 47, no 34. Boys—yes 47, no 29. 4. Do you favor increased arm- anments and extension of armed forces in the United States at the present time? Answer—Girls^yes 60, no 31. Boys—yes 68, no 19. 5. Would you be willing to fight if: A. The United States proper were attacked? Answer—Girla—yes 66, no 12. Boys—yes 67, no 10. B. Any United States territorial possessions were attacked? Answer—Girls—yes 60, no 26. Boys—yes 66, no 21. C. Any country in the western hemisphere were attacked? Answer—Girls—yes 16, no 62. I>jys—yes 28, no 49. D. United States maritime rights were violated: i.e. if Ameri can ships were sunk with Ameri can passengers aboard? Answer—Girls—yes 39, no 39. &jys—yes 43, no 34. E. It Ucame apparent that France and Kngland were in dan ger of defeat? Answer—Girls—yes 30, no 48. Boys—yes 29, no 48. By the above it is eauly seen that the students of this eollege are against war. This same poll was conducted on a nation wide baais, but up to the p«»ent time the national resulU have not been tabulated.

Those who wear the white letter “A" on their sweaters are eligible to become members. The purpose of the club is to create within the members a deep er appreciation of clean sports manship and to promote better friendship among the athletes. It also strives for better organization in athletics. Recently those boys who won letters at the end of last year were initiated into the club.
