Those of ouv predecessors who clier- Ished the idea of elections devoid of a show of society spirit would have taken satisfaction and a bit of credit Cor tlie manner in which these elec tions are coming off. That it is large ly (hie to the improved inethoil of choosing ptrls for society goes witlioiil saying. Nothing will live long un- noni'lRhed. And so the fcoiings, hoth real and imagined, of hatred between sociotios has suffered a moat timely demise due to lack of exercise and attention. But is it true that we must liave fiomethlng to divide the student body? Is it impossible for tiie stu dent body to have enough Ideals In common, to be broad enough in its o\ltloolc to see the otlmr fellow’s corner of the “circle of truth'’ and thus hang together? It is an authenticated fad that the moat successful riddance is a supplanting of tho undesiralilc by the more dDsiruhle. But is tlie .spirit between the “Club” girls and “Main'’ girls any more desir able than a society spirit which prompts alt sorts of questionable actions? It does not require a person of a MenRkciiistic frame of mind to diag- UOBO tho case, To Imagine that yon look down on a girl who really is more intelligent tliau you, who is am bitious, sensible and l)road-minded enough to be willing to aid in the expense of her education by choosing the less expensive boarding-place, can be only described as a badly perverted sense of values, sadly in need of im mediate i-emody. For the Club girls to interpret wrongly the careless re marks and on those grounds to call the other girls snobbiiib, is hardly just. In fact when we think it over we see that none of us exhibit as w'e should the common sense with which wo are naturally endowed and until we do we can hardly expect to under stand and be understood. May some thing speedily send the grand exhibi tion! At the last meeting of the Col legiate Press Association it was de cided, following a suggestion made by Dr. ’Weaver of "Wake Forest, that the colleges attempt to encourage and foster the writing of short stories among students of the colleges of North Carolina. In consequence of this, a plan was formulated by which a contest is to be held each college year In the Held of the short story. Of these stories submitted the twelve conceded to be tlie best will bo pub lished by the Association. As a fur ther incentive the Association offers casb prize fifty dollars for the best story submitted. These stories must be in the hands of the judges by April 1st in order that the name of the winner may be made known at the convention In April. This is held in addition to the one provided for in the constitution of-the Association, which is concerned with two fields, mngazine and newspaper work and offers honorable mention for the best editorial, news story, feature story, sketch, poem and essay sub- mil ted by any member of any staff of the publication members of the Asso elation. The tiiinstion of the short story lins hcon taken over by the societies and the contest for the contributions from Meredith Avill be a part of the sn- ciaty work. ORGAN RECITAL NOTEWORTHY SUCCESS .lOSCELi’N COX SHOWS TALKNT AND SKILL SO WAS IT i;VEK! "W'hon some persons finish entirely theorizing on free love, the fourth dl- nienalon. the mRntal capacity of lounge lizards, and so forth they might turn l.heir attention to the manner in wiiieh we would have spring housc-cleanin? of opinions nf people without elections. Starting with the beginning of first term everybody looks lovely. By Pair Holidays we know by name all the folks we care to; by Thanksgiving we know nil those we like especially. In Jan uary we make another start, but be gin where we were. By exams, we know who we dislike and being too polite to say w'hat we think, we lay in wait and proceed to unburden an overburdened mind when elections c )me. then feeling that perhaps some one else was almost as silly and tact- loss as we—wo start again, knowing that it’s petty, trite, narrow and ill- bred. but—so was it ever! We haven’t cvoluted far in this direction, but suppose we didn’t have elections! Oil last Friday afternoon at live o'clock tho students and outside friends of the college enjoyed to the last degree the recital In organ given by .Toscelyn Cox. Joscelyn is the only Senior In organ, and both her unusual musical talent and her well-known ability have many times called forth the admira tion of her hearers and made this recital one long and eagerly antici pated. Everybody was delighted when “Jo.” as she is known to all her friends, handled both the instrument and tlie nuniimra she played with the calmness and assurance of a professional re citalist. Guilmant’s Sonata, op. 42 and Bach’s Prelude «nri Fiignc, in D Major de serve especial mention. All tiie num bers showed admirable technique In performance and splendid taste in se lection. The stage was artistically decorated with baskets of flowers and palms, as the following program was given: Sonata, op, 42 Guilmant Largo, Allegro. Pastorale. Finale. Prelude and Fugue. D Major . Bach Allegretto WolstGnholme Largo Dvorak From the South Sheldon Offcrtoire Batiste The audicnce was very large and the performer received many congrat ulations from the numerous friends made in tho city during her conrsc here. On the whole this recital was pro nounced one of the beat ever given at Meredith. The ushers were: Alice Klutz, Beu lah Rowland, Foy Peele, Claudileen Sykes and Fannie Paul.
