But as yot tlio men haven’t taken away onr right to changc our intiul! ■\Vo haven’t been out to New More- (lith hitoly, but we huvc talked to souK'Ont! who lias. As a result, wo wrote u letter to Santa Chius and di'uijpcd it hiiek of ihe radiator last niglit, "Wluit was in it? Wliy, a request tor hip boots. iianded in on yellow paper. Even our jokes arc like a well udvertisod brand of soap pure. Out-of-doors may be the proper place for a Twk?, but it’s rather un comfortable at tliis time of the year for those wlio aro trying to persuade it to blossom. But we are optimisti cally inclined, for it has been said that there will be a publications office at New Meredith. A typieal write-up would be as follows. Such and .sxich an organiza tion met at a particular time. This girl read. That girl sang. We then adjourned. Quite a feature story that makes, doesn’t it? We don’t know whether the fact the Seniors are practising for a Black-face minstrel has anything to do with the whole place going black. But it isn’t quite conducive to writing paragraphics to be phing- cd into sudden darkness. It seems to be a habit recently acquired by the lights, anyway. The Saniarcand stockings arc be ing filled as is usual at Christmas. The girls aro always glad to do this but nevor-the-less, we can’t keep tVoni wondering why a six months old baby stays the same ago for three and a half years. Tlie N. 0. State Chapter of United Givers of Post Cards for Xmas has notliing on the majority of the girls at Meredith We all bought ours soon after Thanksgiving and already have them stamped and addressed. Football overemphasis was hit. at the Wesleyan parley held December 6 by nine of the most prominent colleges. The Harvard Debating Union also recently questioned the overemphasis of football. By a vote of 215 to 200 it decided that the game was being overemphasized. Football players, liowevei*, would n\ost probably reply that they are “The masters of the feet, the Captains of their solos.” How nmny of us could vote intel ligently on The World Court? Be sides voting on The Court the dele gates to the Princeton World Court Conference will be asked to act upon the following i-ecoiTiinendations: First. The achievement of a spirit of unity among the students of America in order to give adequate consideration to academic and col legiate questions. We don’t know what they will pro phesy for us in the class 2)rophocy, but wt^’ve dt‘ci«lc'd on our career. W(! arc going to run a factory wliicli will niaiinfacture red, green, and yellow overshoes to match the .•slick ers. A poem entitled “Love Me While I’m Living” appears in the s-o- c-i-c-t-y column of The Technician. Wu can’t keep from wondering who has dune the socializing which called for tliat outburst! Someone remarked latel}’ that wo men believe anything a man tells tliein. \V(‘ obj(;ct. The truth of the mailer is that wc Hatter their vanity by letting tliem think that they are such uccomplished liars. The (lolls dressed by the girls at tending First Baptist were unusually attractive. J>nt just the same, it did look ratlicr queer to see several doz en grown girls wtilk into Sunday Scliool carrying them! Ain’t it awful? Tw(j tliirds of the business managers in sclmol are con- fn.sed because they got ranglcl u[i in red tape, and if something dor’sn’l liap|)cn soon about tliis business of rcgistcj'ing in and out in liie oih' big book one third of tlie edilors will be. Again we sigh for “the good old -lays.” 'I'lie only reason tlio Twnf could (fver bo calhtil a yellow journal is that most of the write-u]is arc Dr. Xorris, ]ircsident of The American Chemical Society says that there are five essentials for ha])- pil_iess: food, shelter, play, work, and the o]>portnnity ti. develop the love of higher Ihings. Our uni- limited supply of the fourth essen tial ])roliably explains why all our Scnitu-s are bubbling over with joy! lie alstj said that the Germans wci-e torced to surrender because of the lack of fat-producing food. It has heen suggested that ho should have fed ’'m apple sauce. In con clusion, h't us say—“State College, keep fighting along.” In view of all the rumors of resig nation going the rounds, let us say that wo are resigned. Hesigncd to everytliing, from the fact that there is no news, to the fact that there is rnncli that is unprintable . Definition for aj)ple sauce? Cer- lainly. It is what your man feeds yon when ho tries diplomatically to sever relations just before Christmas. 'I'ho new athletic rulings don’t affect us any! Wo had lab every lime there was a game in town, anyway. Second. The formations of in telligent and activc student opinions on all questions of national im portance. Third. The promotion and fos tering of understnuding between the students of the world as a basis for an enduring world peace. Re[)orters for this issue: Mabel Clar!

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT So far, nothing has been said In ap preciation of tlie splendidly equipped Fire Department of Meredith College, Raleigh North Carolina. We wish to announce to the public that the new chief Miss Mary Alderman has been “lip to the minute" on her job. For one night amid the solemn stillnesses of "Ruth, don’t forget to call me at C;45 tomorrow morning; I never can hear rising bell” and “Bernice Dough- ton, your tub’s ready” and her answer. “Did you get it clean?” there came the clear solemn peals of the big dinner bell bidding all to liie themselves forth from the building I’or a fire drill. In spite of the novelty of the occasion, there was fairly good order, and the departure from the buildings was made ciuiekly, the credit being given to the splendid work of the lire chief and her captains, and to the cheerful coopera tion of the girls.
