In fact tbcre was no litth* specnlatiun as to wlial social service really is. i’orhaps we of lb(‘ i^onlh arc not (jiiile so far advanced in all |diascs of orgaiii/.i'cl .social servi!c work, llnl llie nec’d is here, opening ujt a great m‘w field to us—ihe college women today, l-'ar behind us is llii' ich^a tba.t every woman w!io finisln's ctdlege, niiisl (>f necessity, tea‘b anl tberi: is no fiiK^r way io be found in whii-b one can be a “trm* servatil d hiimanily.” Nor is the social service worker simply a martyr lo a great ami glorious cause.

This description left its impression of strength and beauty on the hearts of all who heard it. Perhaps never before had many of these realized or pictured for them selves the type oC man, stately, noble, wise, powerful, yet gentle and under standing. that Jesus would be If today he walked among men. For the force, strength and interest illuminated by his love for humanity would make for him today as it did while ho lived on carlh the character who will live through the ages to come. STI NT NK.HT .NOV. .*> The event at Meredith following cluac iipon the Fair holiday and vying wilh it in liokling the intoroat of the student body is tbo annual stunt night. On the lirst Saturday night in Novem ber, under Ibe auspices of the Athletic Assijclatinn, each class “pulls off an original stiint with the time of preson- Uition limited to lifteen minutes. It is one of the few occasions iit i\lcrc- dith where class spirit is in fail sway blit at this lime every classman stick- ctli closcr than a sister to her kind. In the songs and yells thei’c is evidence of Lbe Odd-Rven Class spirit but it’s class spirit just the same. This is a time which proves that more than one girl can keep a secret— and the other one doesn’t have lo bo dead eitlier—for the entire collcge is very much alive. Excitement begins to run high and there is a certain tenseness in the atmosphere the week preceding tliat Saturday night and lasting until the last stunt is over. For, since the Senior stunt comes first; Juniors next and so on down, there is always the possibility of the Sopho mores lindiiig out and giving the Fresh man stunt, A condition of alTairs which would truly prove to be an anti climax, cither tragic or comic—de pending on one’s point of view. The rivalry between the classes brings to the front the originality and ability hidden in each as well as af fording no end of tun. Secrecy clothes every act important and otherwise and every secluded spot is used as a stage at the most unearthly hours. Truly there is no surer sign oC the approach of stunt night than fifteen or twenty girls tip-toeing noisely down the hall at risivg Veil. IX'l'i;i{\ATM»AL KKLATIONS CLUIJ HOLDS lUrSKNKSS ^rKHTING The International Relations Club licUl its regular meeting in the parlors on Monday evening at six forty-five. On account of the amount of business to come before the clul), no regular program was carried out. The question of increasing the membership of the clul) was discussed. Tt was finally de cided to increase the membership if tiie number of aiiplications warranted such an action. Those who liad al ready applied for meinl>arship could not be voted upon as the president had bnen unable to secure records from the dean’s ofTice. A scheme of study was planned for this year, aiming toward gr'eater interest. A certain amount of Lime at each meeting will bo given to the discussion of some world problem :md the remainder to current topics as they appear in the daily newspapers. In this way the niemliers of the club will have an opportunity to keep up wilh the study of international condi tions and current topics of interest. The president appointed as program committee: Lois Kendrick, Beulah Howland and Joselyn Cox. The un finished business was deferred until our next meeting on Monday evening, October 30. i:xniANfii:s The exchange department lias been neither backward nor slow this year, for since the first few weeks of col lcge, Tun Twi(i has been in receipt of a number of collcge weekly newspapers. These papers not only come from the colleges in the State, but many of them represent the colleges of the Southeast. Tiuo Twig acknowledges the rccelpt of: Old Odd and I3lae.k, Technician. Tar Heel, Hlaroon and Gold, Duvcnjiort Weekly, United Statements, Lenorian, Queens niues, Florida Flamhcau, Orange and lilue. As yot, no news has been received through the N. C. C. P. A, service, hut it Is hoped that this plan can be worked out more efllciently during the convention, •. •
