Get thee bcliind me, Satan. tt is generally conceded that young ladies who are old enough to at tend a college for women arc old enough to have formed certain hab its, such as that of going to church, or to have decided definitely what tliey are going to do about it. Many [liously inclined girls say that the fact that they arc conipelied to go to etiurch fosters a dislike in their liearts for going. In a certain Xorthcrn college not very long ago the students started a crusade against compulsory chaiicl attendance. What would, the same student body have done if they had had compul sory church attendance? Meredith girls as a rule like to go to church, and wo arc sure that if there was no nccessitj' of signing up every Siui- day there would he no appreciable falling off in the cluu'ch attendance. Those who were at Meredith when Mi.ss Campbell was dean of women will remoniber that she had this rule removed, with agreeable results. Is there any good reason why it should continue to exist?

The I'ccital given by Rul)y Jlar- ville wa.s an uni|ualified success. li was not oidy a treat for the car, but for the (‘ye also. 'J'hat it was fully a[>pr(!ciiitcd was evidenced by the size and r-nthnsiasni of the audience. While preai'hers ari' preaching it seems needful that someone sljrjuld put out a sermon on the subject of colh'ge comic.s. 'J'hey certainly are successful in tlieir aim, whiidi is to be fuiuiy but along with tln-ir really humorous passag-s they have some AX EXl’LAXATION In the recent nieetiiiK oC the N. C. C. P. A. a resolution, namely that ojie op posing the supervision ot! fucnlty ad visers for all college publications, was passed which has siven rise to con siderable misunderstandin.c. That this misunderstanding may be c'learcd up It should i)e remembered In the first place that the N. C. C. P. A. as well as the groat majority of oar student i)ody were muter the iaiprcssion thuL ali our publications and organizations had i’aculty advisors, iis well as those of u number of other collo.nes repi'oscnted. So it follows thnt nothing personal could have been or was meant either by the passing of the resolution or the writing up of it, us it expressed only the sentiments of the N. C. C. P. A. Then, too, it should be understood that there was no member from Mere dith on the resolutions committee. This fact nuiy help to explain some fiuestioas as to the actual forming of the resolution. Cor all resolutions were forniod by the committee, no individual having anything whatever to do with the proposing of them. These few facts may help to clear In connection with the above, it may he interesting to note that the Eastern Intcrcollegiate Newspaper Associa tion at its last annual meeting adopted a resolution condemning faculty super vision and censorship of college news papers. Although it declared faculty censorship luiwhol&some and incom patible with the best interests of the publication, It urged that undergradu ate editors should seek the opinion of the faculty on Important campus mat ters, This statement is authoritative, coming as it does from The l\'cw Stu dent, and it shows that the North Carolina Association is not so radical after all in its decision. Some of the results of the limerick- tad which passed through the campus last week: One night a young lady named Kate Thought she had a most interesting date; She was so long in dressing, He left; most distressing. The moral “is—never be late. There was a young girl named Odessa Had dates with a college professor. One evening said he, “Will you marry me?" Odessa to the professa said "yessa!” One time a young man they call Price Slipped up on a small piece of ice; He sat down so hard That the sidewalk he marred, And said words that were not very nice, home? Well, she's going with the sad dest little man you ever saw! I sup pose she thinks that exercising with a dumbbell will help her. And then, Margie has up and got ten engaged to Joe. I’m afraid poor Joe will soon find that her “yes" will be a life-sentence, and that the bridal and altar will soon lead to the bridle and halter! IVe know how she Is, and Joe, well, he’ll soon know. The most awful thing happened the other night. I left a certain letter on my table, and “me rival" came in and —well, she read it! It's taught me, as the poet says, that “Lives of great men all remind us—We should leave no stone luuurned, and departing, leave behind us letters thnt we should have burned.” I’ve at last decided on my career. You know, the school girls here can not appear in Raleigh without a chap eron, Outside of Raleigh It's all right, but iu town, never! The point is, I shall establish this combined tea room and checking space for chape rons Just at the edge of town. Then the girls and their escorts can take the chaperon as far as is required, check her, and leave town! On their return, they can pick her up and drive in, thus not even breaking the letter of the law. It should be really a raying proposition on both sides. Marvin is growing one of these little baseball moustaches—nine on a side, while Tom has a Bon Ami one—it hasn’t scratched yet! I’m so tired of making tea towels and all such for prospective brides. They all have such darling ways of announcing their engagements, tho'. As for me—I shall put over something absolutely uniQue when viy time comos. On Sunday morning, along with the usual Sunday morning announcements, I shall have Dad quite matter-of-factly announce it! You must get married lirst so that you can be-my dame of honor. When Ted and I were little Ave used to feed tho collie puppies bread and milk till when we turned ’em over we couldn’t dent their tummies with our fingers. As for me right now, I’ve eaten strawberries till I—feel that I must quit and go to bed. Lots of love for you, Totsie. Ot'K LI««ARY Our college library is supposed to serve as a place for concentration and study, but it fails to meet this re quirement to a certain degree, chiefly because of the conduct of the students. "What are you doing now? How much have you written on your term paper?” soiuids the voice of Dorothy in your ear. Just when you are getting interested in the adventures of Aeneas, or in the reasons for the Reign of Terror. It then becomes necessary to give a satisfactory answer to these questions, which falls upon the ques tioner's ear as seed upon a rocky soil; she wished merely to open a conver sation, at length, as she with a sigh turns away, and you with a deeper sigh turn back to your interrupted study. "Oh Mary, I’ve Just heard from Joe,” comes the startling news from excited Jane, she drops into a chair before you and proceeds upon a de tailed account of the thrilling contents of the letter. ‘‘How exciting,” you ex claim in an attempt to appear inter ested; while in reality j’ou are wish ing heartily that sitch a person as “Joe” had never lived, or at least liad nover met Jane. Thus to secure first one bit of exciting news and then an other, you are continually interrupted until the hands of the clock point to ward five, the time in which you had planned to accomplish so much is spent and you are as ignorant of the fate of Aeneas and the result of the Reign of Terror, as when you entered the library. Many much needed hours are thus wasted in our library, thereby making it a social center rather than a place for study. And so, henceforth let's be a little more careful about our con duct in the library, and let’s have in mind the tact that it is not the place to spread the latest news.
