They just haven’t. Seven years ago this week a white flag waved on the other side of the Hindenburg line and it was seen around the world. It meant peace. This week we wave a Maroon and Gold flag. It means war. Beat Lynchburg! THE WORLD COURT Seven years ago there was end ed in Europe the most dreadful and man-destroying conflict the world has ever known. Today the world stands divided on the question of international arbitra tion. I'he nations of the world are on the fence in this matter for no other reason than that the L’nited States has ne\ er taken a definite stand in the matter. Can the world afl'ord to go on in this way? Have we so soon forgot ten the lives of those w’ho went ‘'West” that we can afford to stand by and let this most im portant matter go? Is it best that we join the World Court, the League of Nations, or is it best that we as a nation should play hands-off? On December 17. the Congress of the United States will meet in Washington and the principal issue before it will be the ques tion of international co-operation. Between now and that time near ly every college or university student in the country will have an opportunity to voice his opinion on this subject. The voter of tomorrow should make of himself the citizen of today. We as college students should be more competent than a vast ma jority of the voting public. Do you know anything of interna tional aflairs? It concerns you. Some time in the near future the students here are going to be given the opportunity to vote on this question. In order to vote intelligently it will be neces sary for you to inform yourself. There are four possible solutions of the problem for the Lmited States. The vote of all college students in the country is bound to influence the decision of Con gress in some w'ay. The four solutions are as follows: (1). United States participa tion under the Harding-Hughes plan. (The United States not to be connected with the League of Nations or bound to any obliga tions under the League Covenant: not to be bound to advisory opinions not voluntarily submit ted by the United States.) (2). United States participa tion under the "Harmony Plan of thirty peace leaders. (United States to join the Court under the Harding-Hughes plan but to withdraw after five , years unless international law has been codi fied, outlawing war and giving the Court jurisdiction.) (3). United States participa tion under the Borah plan. (The L'nited States not to join the Court until international law has been codified outlawing w'ar, and the Court given jurisdiction; the United States not to be thereby connected with the League of Na tions.) (4). L^nited States not to participate in the World Court at all. J SOM STU i J: by J SOM STUDE ^ !♦! >1 —s— The Fresliinen continue to organize. We suggest that tlie new president ap point Ills p.‘j.inting ooramittee and let it get to work. Let’s liave some Thanksgiving decorations at least. —O— By the way! Did you know that the new president has joined that e-retwhile organization that makes red- blooded men of green Freslimen? As a matter of fact, the initiation com- niittee, headed by Coach, is far-famed for its ability to' bring out the red and true blood which we believe all green Freslimen have. It never fails; ask ‘‘Boll Weevil.” —M— And while we are on the subject; isn’t it only reasonable that the Fresh man senator join the same club? —S— Birthdays have been neglected too long. Don't be bashful, let us know when it is and you will be favored with a surprise party. —T— A few nig-hts ago the fact was brought out that there are many o'f ns who live in. houses by the side of the road and are friends to man. That is a noble spirit, but be sure that your followinan is shot before you go for the doctor. —U— We nre ghid to have Bock back with us.

CLIOS NiE RICHAIiDSOII GORRELl TO SPEHK They Are Junior Representatives. F. H. Alexander Declared Best on Program. The Clio Literary Society, in session Tuesday evening, installed its officers for the second quarter of the school year. Mr. H. Richardson and Mr. J. D. Gorrell were clected Junior representa tives for commencement. A few mat ters of business were taken up, a num ber of committees were appointed and tlien the literary program o'f the eve ning was presented. Mr. F. H. Alexander, in a well pre pared and well delivered talk, spoke of the main incidents in George W. Truette's life; how he worked his way up from a 2)00r boy of the North Car olina mountains to a minster of nation wide repute. Mr. Fernando Bell gave a humorous reading, entitled “The Bald-Headed Man.” The next number was a piano solo by Mr. D. B. Harrell. Mr. R. E. Brittle gave a number of current events of national and local interest. The society was then entertained by a number of clever jokes and poems given by Mr. C. L. Kimball. Mr. Carlton Thomas presented the main facts in the biography of the actress, Sarah Bernhardt. “The Statue of Liberty,” was the subject of ilr. J. D. Gorrell’s talk. The final number was a talk on “In ter-Racial Co-Operation,” by Mr. J. L Lynch. Mr. Lynch stated that thero can not be a good relationship between the races while the negroes try to imitate the white people, and that each race should therefore have in mind the good of the race and the ideals toward which the race should strive. The critic reported the program to be an excellent one. The judges named Mr. F. H. Alexander as the best speak er on the program. The program was indeed one of the best that the Clio Literary* Society has presented this year.

It was the Faculty Xevele Club on its way to attend the Hallowe’en party at the home of Mrs. S. A. Bennett. They were greeted at the front porch by a really live black cat. Notices postel directed them to detour and letour. They detoured until their ho'stess invited them into the basement of the home, which was accomplished by jumping through a rather high door to the floor below, where you landed on a set of bed springs. After much guiding the guests arriv ed in the beautifully decorated living room. Here the spirit of Hallowe’en was shown by black cats, bats and the other spirits that Hallow^e’en claims. Soon came the dress parade, which was judged by Prof. S. A. Bennett. The prize was awarded Rear Admiral Grayson for having the best costume.' The Prince of Wales was a little shy, but very fetching. Mr. and Mrs. | Jyps came very late, but as they are new comers to town, they did not know of the rural way of attending parties so early in the evening. After a very short literary program the Xeveles enjoyed some exceedingly fun ijrovoking games, which the in genious hostess had prepared for their entertainment. Later the guests ad journed to the daintily decorated din ing room, where they partook of a delicious cafeteria lunch. The Faculty Nevele Club will Tong remember Mrs. Bennett’s Hallowe’en party as one of the most pleasant it has ever attended.
