SOCILTY DEBATING
“But it is.”
“I say it isn’t.”
How many times during the day do
we hear arguments of this kind?
Whereever girls are gathered together
there Is pretty sure to be some sort
of discussion—whether its a question
of whether light or dark men are bet
ter looking, (in which case there is a
general lining up on both sides accord
ing to the particular young man which
has most recently caught the fancy)
or a question of whether math
shouldn’t be abolished from the cur
riculum (when the sides are slightly
uneven).
Now why shouldn't this energy be
expended to a little better advantage?
Why shouldn’t we use the time and
the thought devoted to a discussion
of whether light or dark lipstick is
best, in debating questions relative to
some of the problems of today? In
•■ther words why don’t we form a
Debating Club?
There, I knew that would be the
complaint—“We’ve too many clubs
already." But the Debating Club
would not have to be a separate club
but could be in connection with the
two societies. Each society could have
debates within itself and a team
chosen, in this way, to represent each
society In an inter-society debate.
Then, who knows, maybe a team could
be chosen from these to represent
Meredith In Intcrcolleglate Debates?
What do you say, girls? Is it a
good idea? There, hear them—
"It Is.”
‘‘I say it isn't.”
THE Y KITCIIEXETTE
Why is it that we can never get the
“Y’' kitclienette key when we want it?
Is it because of the fact that articles
in the kitchenette belong to a certain
few who control the Y. W. C. A.? Or
do the articles belong to the general
Y. W. C. A.—if we can use that term
to express it. Yes, they do belong to
the Y. W, C. A. and are for the use of
every Meredith girl, for rem,ember
that every Meredith girl becomes a
member of the Y. W. C. A. when she
pays her budget on the second Mon
day in October. Every girl is required
to pay her Y. W. C. A. dues and ought
she not, therefore, to be able to use
the kitchenette? Is the “Y” kitchen
ette what it could be for the enjoy
ment of the Meredith girls? It ought
to be a great big (even though it is
small) kitchen—a democratic kitchen
in which every girl could cook her
“knocks” and really have a good time.
When a crowd of girls dcclde to make
candy on Saturday night they.are at
a loss for utensils. Then after chas
ing over the campus to find the girl
Wjlio keeps the key, they find she
loc.sn't know where the key is—only
a mild way of refusing to let her have
It. This is actually what has happen
ed. Is the Y. W. C. A. a democratic
organization at Meredith or is It under
control of a few? Why can't we have
several keys, and let every girl know
th© keeper of the key. Why can't
the “Y" kitchenette be open to all—
especially on the long Saturday nights
for some? Perhaps this would create
a bit of needed Interest for our Y. W.
C. A. and thus make the organiza
tion better. Surely the girls would be
so respectful as to take the same care
of the kitchenette here as their own
room. This has worked at Meredith
and must work again. Will not the
honor system work as well In the
kitchenette as on the campus? Cer
tainly, it will. Who bought the uten
sils for the kitchenette? We, the girls
of Meredith, did. And now we can
not use them to any satisfaction.
HE riioMi'T
Did you ever stop to consider that
you are causing someone a lot of
trouble when you don’t got your ma
terial for TiiR Twin in by at least
seven forty-flve? It is necessary that
the material should go to the printer
early the next morning, and when all
the reporters wait until ten o’clock
to hand in what they have written
It means that some members of the
staff must stay up a great part of
the night preparing the write-ups for
publication. You may think the staff
has nothing to do but
“Tear its wool and sling the bull
And write and write and write.”
but you are entirely wrong. There is
but one on Ttik Twig Staff who has
not at least seventeen hours of work,
and some have more. And they re
ceive no salary—it's as much your
business to write, and write on time
as it is theirs to revise and correct
and put your stuff together for the
publisher.
Ul’l'EK CLASSMEN AT MEllEIH'l’ll
After a girl has spent two or three
years at any regular college it seems
that in her last two years she de
serves a certain amount of respect
from underclassmen. Any one who
has had the spunk and grit to burn
the midnight candle for at least two
years deserves a due amount of con
sideration from any one. Of course
it isn’t absolutely necessary, this con
sideration and respect, and upperclass
men can and have lived without It
at Meredith and will continue to do
so, but nevertheless the fact remains
that they do expect it to a certain
extent. In their enthusiasm and ex
citement under classmen undoubtedly
I'orget this fact at times, and that is
entirely excuseable, but a deliberate,
premeditated act of impoliteness and
Impertinence can easily be understood
but not readily forgotten.
It seems that of late there has been
superfluous amount of class spirit
on our campus, for little or no reason
whatever. Wo sccni to be going
around with a chip on our siioulders
and like little puRllIstic boys, daring
each other to knock It off. Trifles are
exaggerated and mountains made of
mole hills. This is no proper spirit
for Meredith and our Alma Mater.
Let us all cooperate and endeavor to
establish better relationship between
the odd and even classes. The upper
classmen In no way feel superior to
the underclassmen. They are willing
to help all they can. They merely
wish recognition of the fact that
they are such. Underclassmen may
say we are only girls who have been
here a little longer than they have:
that is true and makes us no different
from them we only ask that they re
member that upperclassmen are upper
classmen "for a that."
