Per copy 10c CHOICE Will next year be a “best year?” That depends, you say, upon next year’s officers, but aftCT all it rests primarily on you, because to you is the responsibility of the choice. Do you stop and think about the person for whom you are voting, or do you shift your responsibility by copying your neighbor’s ballot? Are you going to judge a girl by her looks, person ality, popularity? Are you going to vote for her because she has “always been nice to you”, or for any other reason than that of ability and fit ness ? If so, you are not a construc tive college citizen, and you are not wanted at the polls during election. The peace, prosperity, and progress of the future depend upon a conscien tious and thoughtful choice of leaders. “ENTER, MISS ANNA” “Weaver, bring that bucket here. You ain’t finished workin’ There never was the beat o’ you For loafin’ ’round and shirkin’ Who said to move that table Out in the other room? Bring it back in here* again And then go get your broom. Don’t move that paper off the floor— It came from 207. And sweep that pile of trash Back in room 211. You ain’t here to wait on them girls, You be sure you sweep that hall. They’ve mov^ another bed in here And there’s a big tack in the wall.” WHY THE CONFERENCE WAS CALLED. The student conference at Harts- dale, N. Y., under the auspices of the National Student Forum was one of the first moves of the American student in changing his vocation from that of audience to that of actor. There is rather too much of ehe side lines in our education. One man lec tures and 100 listen, 22 play football and 20,000 cheer. The student satis fies all demands made of him if he is a fairly intelligent and responsive audience. This regime has produced a certain boredom and restlessness. We have grown. Our spiritual legs no longer tit into the cramped and uniform seats of the auditorium. We must act. We must recognize and accept our respon sibility as members of the community, as inheritors of civilization, ^d creators of the future. Our kindly elders have striven to shield us from such a heavy burden. They were afraid we could not stagger under it. But, had they seen the students at Hartsdale consuming ham and eggs as freely as ideas and being far more ready to think than to cry over the “sa-ad” condition of the world, they would have realized that this sense of responsibility, this share in the actual life of the community which has been so carefully withheld from us, is the one thing necessary to give an object and a meaning to life. This conference was called then to consider the economic basis of our education so that we might define and acccpt our responsibility toward the community and especially toward th; institution of higher learning. GENETICS STUDENTS COLLECT INTERESTING DATA. The class in zoology 360 have been making some interesting tabulations of their “family trees.” They have made a record of the appearance of certain physical characteristics in their families for three generations, including those of their grand-parents, all the children of their grand parents, and the members of their own generation. The physical features recorded were eye color, hair color, and hair form, that is, a straight or curly. The tables were, in general, quite in ac cordance with the accepted theories of human inheritance, and proved noth ing startling or -phenomeal. It was found out that of the twenty-six mem bers of the class, ten had factors for red hair in their families.—Sun-Dial. Y. W. C. A. MEETING. The Friday night meeting of the Y. W. C. A. this week was led by the World Fellowship Department. The meeting was opened with two familiar hymns, after wliich Miss Elizabeth Roop, who was presiding, read the twelfth chapter of Romans and fol lowed this with a prayer. After a short introductory talk by Miss Roop in which she brought out the great need for World Friendship, Miss Mary Howard Turlington told us of . American Y. W. C. A. in Smyrna—^its beginning in 1920, the workings of the organization, and the splendid rescue work done during the fire. Some very interesting literature was on display and every girl was in vited to take one or more of the pamphlets at the close of the meeting. Due to the coming of the Hampton Institute Quartet on Saturday night, no pictures will be shown. The next picture will be shown Saturday, March 10th. Miss Mary Hill spent last week-end at her home in Lexington. All girls will please note that the officc does not open until 9 o’clock a.m. No business can be transacted before this hour.
