THIRD B. S. U. CON
FERENCE COMES TO CLOSE
“CHBIST ADKQUATE” KEYiNOTE
373 DELEGATES ENltOLLED
The delegates to the Baptist Stxi-
dent Conference, October 2S-30,
were welcomed by Dr. C. E. Brewer,
owr president, ns a group of en
thusiastic youth, representing the
religious influence on the college
campus, assembled for the pxirpose
of receiving and giving inspiration.
It was indeed inspiring to those
in charge of the registration to
watch the delegates as they came in
from the several Baptist and State
schools. The registration for this
third annual gathering of Baptist
Students in a state-wide meeting
was found, upon completion to be
272 delegates.
At seven o’clock in the auditoriiun
of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church,
was held the first session of the con
ference.
With the opening of the session
by Mr. K. Paul Caudill uf
Forest as chairman, avos begun a
conference of which the ultimate re
sults can be measured, only by the
inspiration carricd back by the dele
gates to their respective campuses.
“Christ Adequate” was the theme
of the program; the keynote of
every devotion led by the students,
the keynote of the messages of every
speaker.
It is impossible to give a com
petent resume of so rich and inten
sive a program, but no one
present could fail to sense the heart
response to the stirring appeals
made by such speakers as Dr. J. E.
Dillard, Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs.
J. M. Dawson, "Waco, Texas; our
own Dr. Maddry, Dr. J. Clyde
Turner, Greensboro, C.; Rev.
H. H. McMillan, Maxton, IT. C.,
a I'eturned missionary; Mr. Frank
H. Leavell, Memphis, Tenn.; Dr.

Gables, Flu.

MEREDITH TO ASSIST
IN COMMUNITY
CHEST CAMPAIGN
SIRS. CALHOUS DECLARES WOMEN
INTELLECTUAL LEADERS
Meredith Faculty and Students were
very glad to welcome to their platform
on Tuesday morning Mrs. Calhoun,
representative of the City Community
Chest movement. Mrs. Calhoun proved
a most Interesting speaker. In the be-
ginning of her talk she introduced the
subject of the Community Chest move
ment and emphasized the importance
of the Red Cross in time of peace as
well as in war. From that she digress
ed into a discussion of the recently
recognized intellectual capacity of
women. Beginning with Mother Eve
and Ruth, Mrs. Calhoun cited women
down through the ages who wielded In
fluence through an appeal to their
minds rather than because of their
beauty. “Although I do not mean to
reflect upon the much-referred-to
beauty of women,” she said, “I do in
tend to contend that women have
minds as well as beauty, and the
present world is turning to them for
assistance.”
Mrs. Calhoun concluded her brief
talk with an appeal to the Meredith
girls to contribute a dollar if possible
and thus be enrolled as a Red Ci-oss
member: if not to make some contribu
tion toward this drive which is to be
put on this week.
The task of receiving any contribu
tions which might be made was placed
in the hands of the Student Govern
ment Organization, and it is expected
that a goodly sum will be collected
from the Meredith faculty and
students.
HALLOIVE’EN FAVORS MADE
FOR SHUT-INS
The Sunshine work of the Young
Peoples’ Department of First Baptist
Sunday school, which formerly in
cluded only the visiting of different
institutions in the city such as Dix
Hill, St. Lukes Home, etc., has as
sumed a wider range. On Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last week,
members of the classes taught by
Misses Mary Martin and Mary Lynch
Johnson and Dr. Rufus Hunter, made
Hallowe’en favors for the “Shut-Ins”
of Raleigh. This work was done under
the auspices of the Woman’s Club of
Raleigh, and consisted of dressing AIl-
Day-Suckers in black and yellow paper
so as to impersonate witches. There
are about six hundred Shut-Ins, and
the four Meredith classes assum
ed the responsibility of making wit
ches for each one of them. These
favors were delivered to the Shut-
Ins on Hallowe’en.
Sandwiches and cake, sei-ved at Inter
vals added to the pleasure of making
these.

COLLEGES REPRESENTED—
TRESIDENTS BREWER AND
BROOKS ADDRESS
CONVENTION
The fall meeting of the North
Carolina Collegiate Press Associa
tion come to a close at 1:00 o’clock
Saturday, when the entire delega
tion was entertained at lunch in the
State College Cafeteria. As far as
we as hostesses are able to judge,
tlie meeting was a succcss. dele
gates wore enrolled as full-time at
tendants, wliicli approximately 10-
15 others attended some of the meet
ings. 38 girls were entertained at
Meredith.
Among the items of business dis
cussed and passed on, two were es
pecially interesting. The first was
a scheme presented by Edwards &
Broughton Co., providing that a cer
tain insigna be run above the Edi
torial department of every publica
tion belonging to the North Caro
lina Collegiary Press Associaiioin.
A sketch of this insigna was pre
sented at the last business session,
and it was decided that such an
emblem be run as a mark of that
publication being a member of the
State Press Association.
The second business item of im
portance was a plan, introduced by
A. L. Aydlette of N. C. State, where
by a system similar to the Associated
Press should be practiced by the col
leges belonging to the N. C. C. P. A.
This organization is to be called the
Collegiate Press, Avith- the purpose
of exchanging news between the
various colleges before it should be
“ancient history,” so to speak.
The delegates were quite fortunate
in having the oppox'tunity of having
such outstanding jnen as Mr. Best,
Mr. Horn, Dr. E. C. Brooks, Mr.

B. S. U. DELEGATES ENJOY
ANNUAL BARBECUE
Saturday afternoon, October the
twenty-ninth, the time of the long-
talked-of barbecue in the grove, ar
rived. All of the new girls had been
looking forward to this annual event
with eagerness and curiosity, while the
older glrla were frankly longing for
It. It is hardly sufficient to say that
every one’s hopes were fulfilled, for,
under Miss Welch’s expert supei’vision
the occasion was quite a success. It
was also evident that the visitors
present, enjoyed their supper under
the trees as thoroughly as the mem
bers of the College did.
BACK UP YOUR CLASS
DR. PRICE SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL
TELLS OF PRESENTATION OP
“EVERY JIAN”
Dr. Helen Price, a new member of
the faculty at Meredith, who is head
of the Latin and Greek Department,
gave a most Interesting talk in chapel
last Friday on a play (entitled “Every
Man”). Which she had seen abroad
this summer. The play was given in
Switzerland with capable actors and
actresses taking part under the direc
tion of the noted Max Reinhardt.
Every Man was the hero of the story
and he portrayed the life of man as
it has always taken place. Other im
portant characters were the Devil,
Death and Greed.
According to Miss Price the acting
was marvelous, holding the audience
practically spell-bound during the en
tire performance, because of an atmos
phere about the play that was almost
unreal in its power ovec the audience.
In her charming and delightful man
ner Miss Price presented such a vivid
account of the play that it makes each
one of us want to make a special trip
trt see it.
PICNIC SUPPER
IN THE GROVE
MISS JOHNSON’S CLASS HAS
PICNIC
To a few old girls who were In Miss
Johnson’s class at the First Baptist as
freshmen, the prospect of another pic
nic like the ones we had then, meant
more than the word picnic itself in
dicates. Never will any girl who was
at the picnic supper In the grove last
Tuesday night fail to greet with de
light the idea of another such. Old
girls and new girls shared in the fun
of a real camp supper inspite of the
fact that it was cold and damp. If
any thing we enjoyed the fires more
because it was so cold. But the fires

SOPHOMORE STATIONEHY |
ARRIVES
The Sophomore Stationery has
at last come and the proud
"Sophs” are displaying it on
e(very occasion. Really,, ttheia^
correspondence has suddenly be
come very extensive. And no
wonder! “One "peep” is con
vincing enough. The "pirate”
idea has been carried out as the
pli’ate is the class mascot. At the
top of the paper stands a daring,
blood-cuddling, savage-looking
pirate with one foot upon the
treasure chest. The numerals
"30” are in big figures on the
sides. Look out; for the “Pirate
Sophs”!
W. A. A.’S ENTERTAINED
ON HALLOWE’EN NIGHT
GHOSTS APPEAR
«•*-
Hallowe’en! What a volume of
meaning there is in this one word.
The mere mention of it brings to
our minds the dark iiight on which
ghosts, goblins, and witches hold
their annual revel.
The Hallowe’en which has rc-
ccntly passed was a realization to
the imaginations of nt least the
members of the Athletic Associa
tion and their guests.
In front of the Library stops,
there gathered after dinner a band
of strange beings. There were
clo^vns in their many-colored cos
tumes, ready to afford fun by their
jests; there were ghosts galore with
their pale faces illumined by the
light of the moon; and there was
even a witch, garbed in black and
ready to fly to the moon on her ever-
ready broomstick.
As soon as the assembly was com
plete, a call was issued, command
ing that all should march single file
into the dark forest (the grove).
When the middle of the wood was
reached, fires and pretty decorations
were perceived. To the first fire,
the creatures went by couples. On
the way delicious punch was served.
At the fire Ruth Bowden told some
