All of which is but a point of departure for statement of the fact thnt as members of a Student Body Organ ization, we are not always fair or loyal to rho Sludent Council which wo have voluntarily chosen to rep resent us in the meting out of jus tice. Wlifn an olTender is dnemetl W'orthy of an appearance before the Council, her case is hoard with the most studied impartiality and con sideration, and only after nil the evidence has been presented does the discussion ensne, which invariably ends with what each individual Council member considers a verdict representative of her best thought, judgment, time, and energy. Fol lowing'this and in accordance with onr constitution, as stated in our ITandliook, the deeiaion ia then read aloncl at a meeting of the entire Student Body, which is accom panied by as many of the facts in the case as is deemed fair to the girl, and iustifioble of the course pursued by the Council. Then comes the inevitable qiiestion, “Arc there any questions?” and imme diately following this enters the aforementioned disloyalty of the students. If the punishment is tlionght too hard or iinfaiy to the extent of the misdemeanor, girls should thusly express themselves and in such a manner as to convoy their disapproval. Girls, however, hesitate and are losf. Others would enter the discussion, if only some incredulous one would begin it, and to remain quietly seated apparently with “silence giving consent” and approval is the most hypocritical action Avhicli can bo pursued, es pecially if the girl is Imt sitting there planning what she will say about the affair as soon as she reaches the hall. It frequently happens that in order to save the girl’s cliaracter and feelings to as great a dogreo as poaailc, the Stud ent President tactfully refrains from giving all the sordid facts in the ease, but it is to be wondered that this kindness is continued when it so often the cause of misunder standing on the part of some students who, not in possession of auch facts, insi.st, loudly and broad- caatedly, that the puniahment is too severe for the offense. The circum stances rather than the misdeed are hastily summarized and the general rcflecfion u])0ii the college itself is quickly dismissed or not even pon dered. Tlic only place to solve all queries and perplexities is at the Student Government meeting itself, and it does seem, that since every girl is equally and well aware of this fact, if she hasn’t interest and co\»rage ouo\igh to voice her doubts or protests at the psychological moment, she would, at least, have enough self-rcspoct and college spirit to remain silent the rest of her days upon the subjoct. DR. HARRIS GIVES TEA FOR ENGLISH V CLASS FRIDAY THIC THIIM’EEXTH A>* Ausriciors date fob SKMOllS Inlornial teas are pleasant; tea on a rainy afternoon is still more pleasant, blit to have tea on a rainy afternoon with "Mias Julia" is the summation of good things. Drinking tea, munching sandwichcs, almonds, and chattering like magpies, Dr. Harris’ Literary Criticism Class belled their name by discussing everything nndor the sun In a very iiiiliterary manner and were entertained finally by a number of lovely piano soloa by Mrs. Kemp Neal. Those so fortunate, despite the date, as to be participants were: Annie Bowman, Elizabeth Harden, Clara Mae Jessup, Alice Lowe and Josephine Parker. DK. ELLIS OF PULLEN’S TALKS AT CHAPEL HOUR i;Ai{>'iiST ins(:i;ssiOi\ with (ilKLS OV STKADl’ASTM^SS OF l'lJl«l*()SK ur. Ellis, pastor of Pullen’s Mem orial Charch, conducted our usual devotional service at chapel last Thursday morning. The scripture pas sage that he discussed was from St. Luke IX—“And ho set his face to go to Jerusalem.” This partlcirlar dis cussion came at an appropriate and moat opportune time, when we, as students, are developing onr lives and laying the bases for a great and use ful field of service to our fellowman, and to our God. "We should aslc God to direct our choice of llfe-service and then, with a firm determination, we should ‘'set our face” toward obtain ing the goal at which we aim. Cou- Btantly changing the course of study makes a student weaker and less capablc to have a staunch, steadfast purpose. But the boy or girl who sets his mind on some line of life work, even though poverty and dls- conragement make the way hard and difficult for him, will be successful in his chosen profession. Failure comes to those whose minds arc fickle and unsettled, but to those who are stead fast and determined, despite imfavor- able circumstances, there may always bo an assurance of success. LOCAL TALENT ENCORED AT CITY AUDITORIUM EmLTK l{«Si: K>’()X OF KALKIGH IN inxri'AL IVI’I’JI SKW YORK All’l’lST An audience of some two thousand people assembled in the city audito rium to hear the joint recital of Emille Rose Knox and Colin O'More Tuesday night, April 10. The recital was a triumph for Miss Knox, especially since slie is one of Raleigh’s daughters. A dozen huge bouquets greeted Miss Knox during the program and proved, as did the applause, the appraisal and apprecia tion of her home folk. Not once in all her difRcult program did she stray an iota from perfect pitch, which is slightly more than can be said of the greatest of violinists when he played hers. Concert experience has worked won ders for Miss Knox. Technique she had in abundance when she played be fore a Raleigh audience, but experience before many critical audiences has given her an element of assurance. She is a mistress of tone, a thing un common with women violinists. Her keen sense of rhythm is remarkable— tone, musical sense of rhythm, and technique, she has all that is needed to Insure her future as a violinist. Colin. O’More is a New York artist of the first rank, and he received an applause from the Raleigh audience -that has not been equaled since John McCormick sank here three. and a half years.ago. And none save Titta Ruffo wbo has sung here since has proved himself so nearly the mas* ter of his art. Mr. O’More sings somewhat In the manner of McCor mick, but there is more robustness of tone than there is to McCormick. Both in technique and in texture of his voice, Mr. O’Morc is one of the most satisfying tenors who have sung here. His tone is produced, appar ently, without effort. He is a thor ough musician and all that the New England critics have been saying about him was amply justified. Hard worked by a long and difficult program, Carl Brunner, at the piano, proved himself to be equal to accom panists in any part of the country. His technique was excellent, and his devotion to the text admirable. He entered with intelligent appreciation into the interpretation given by the soloists. Ho played the most intricate accompaniments without the slightest infringement upon the singer or the violinist.
