Harrell is also from the Sand Hills

MISS LOUISE OSBORNE
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Miss Louise Osborne, dean of
women, was taken to Long's Hos
pital in Greensboro on Wednesday
the Bth, to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. The latest re
ports (Sunday night) say that
Miss Osborne is recovering as rep
idly as possible, considering the
seriousness of the case.
It was known from the first that
Miss Osborne was threatened with
appendicitis, but in the hope that
an immediate operation would not
be necessary, the doctors advised
a delay in operation in order that
she might gain strength for an op
eration later. On Monday, the
sth, recovery seemed certain, and
she herslef was very optimistic
concerning her recovery without
an operation. On Tuesday night,
however, her condition became so
serious that on Wednesday an im
mediate operation was strongly
advised. She was rushed to Long's
Hospital in Greensboro, and oper
ated upon early Wednesday morn-
From the latest reports concern
ing her condition, I Sunday night)
it is learned that she is gaining in
strength and that she is slowly
coming out of danger.

S. M. KEENY PLEADS EOR
STUDENT UNDERSTANDING
PLEADS FOR RUSSIA'S EDUCATIONAI
CAUSE—ADVOCATES MORE IN
TKRNATIONAL SYMPATHY
Spurgeon M. Keeny, director of
the American division of the
World's Student Friendship Fund,
addressed the student body at Guil
ford College during the chapel
period on Thursday.
Mr. Keeny pleaded for a better
ent nations. He declared that mu
tual helpfulness is the best
ground for effective world peace.
"The students of the world are
under especial obligation to stand
together," he said. "At the pres
ent time the greatest need is among
the Russians. Russia is a country
little understood. Her students
are making untold sacrifices for an
education which will fit them for
the reconstruction of the devasted
country. They are in extreme
need of outside assistance."
Mr. Keeny has spent the last
eight years in Europe, four years
of which he spent in study and the
remainder of the time in refief
work. This work consisted in giv
ing to aid the university students
and professors in Russia who were
in actual want for food and cloth
ing. He reports conditions as be
ing greatly improved over three or
four years ago. The spotted ty
phus which followed the years of
famine has been pretty well put
under control. At present he says
that there are something like eight
to ten millions of malaria cases,
principally in the rural districts.
But food and government condi
tions are more stable now.
The Young Men's and Young
Women's Christian Associations
are taking up the matter at Guil
ford with the intention of giving
as much aid to the cause as poss
ible. So far thehe have been 26
student groups in North Carolina
who have contributed to the cause.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
IN WOMEN S ATHLETICS
, With the changing of the sys
tem of awards, the work of the
women's Athletic association this
fall seems to have gained appre
ciably in enthusiasm.
The institution of another sport,
hockey, has greatly increased the
enrollment in those interested in
games, and has added not a little
to the spirit of sportmanship of
the association.
Hikers may be daily seen scat
tered along the highways through
dust or rain, as the ease may be,
during the period of legitimate
hiking hours which includes time
for a four-mile excursion before
breakfast. It is estimated that the
total distance hiked thus far is
1,000 miles.
Wielders of the tennis racket are
no less diligent plying the balls
across the courts than those en
gaged in the other sports. Prep
arations are already begun for
the preliminary tournament which
will begin this week.
On the whole the W.A.A. antic
ipates a year of good hard work
and much achievement.
KENNETH NEESE ELECTED

Annie Wagoner was elected secre

ment.
S. L. HAWORTH REACHES
GUILFORD AFTER FOURTEEN
MONTHS SPENT IN EUROPE
STUDIED EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL
WORK DONE BY ENGLISH
FRIENDS
Samuel L. Haworth, former
pastor of the Friends Church of
High Point, and who during the
past summer was elected to suc
ceed Mr. Robert Dann in the de
partment of Religious Education,
reached the college a week ago.
Immediately after resigning his
pastorate at High Point, he and
Mrs. Haworth sailed for Europe
on July 28, 1923, where they re
mained for fourteen months, ar
riving in the United States on Sept
ember 27th, 1924.
Mr. and Mrs. Haworth first went
to England and Scotland where
much time was spent in visiting
Friends Meetings. In speaking of
the Friends Meetings in England
Mr. Haworth said: "The meetings
of Friends in England are as a
rule considerably smaller than our
meetings in America. They do not
make any effort to gather large
congregations even where they
have a considerable membership.
They emphasize more than we do
the periods of silence, and general
participation is encouraged rath
er than leaving so much of it to
the members.
Mr. Haworth found the Friends
in England very active in social
service and political matters, hav
ing several of their membership in
parliament, besides a large num
ber engaged in local and munici
pal affairs.
\ isiting the Friends Schools in
England proved a great source of
interest and inspiration, to Mr.
and Mrs. Haworth. At least seven
Friends schools were visited by
them and all were found to be
under able management and ren-

J. F, FESPERMAN MEETS
WITH THE Y, M, CABINET
J. F. Fesperman, district secre
tary for the Y.M.C.A.. with head
quarters at Charlotte, met with the
Y.M.C.A. cabinet 011 Tuesday
'light to discuss the problems con
fronting the college Y.M.C.A.
work and to offer practical sug
gestions for a remedy. The first
problem taken up was that of
membership. Mr. Fesperman sug
gested that each member of the
cabinet put forth special and in
dividual effort to secure new
members and not leave the burden
on one commiettee. Attendance
was discussed, and Mr. Fesperman
suggested more interesting pro
grams as a possible solution. He
also named many outside speakers
who could be secured to talk to
the students.
TYPHOID VACCINE GIVEN

As a sort of by-product of the
typhoid scare which swept over
the campus this summer, the col

more strenuous campaign for the
prevention of contageous diseases
than has ever been carried on in
