TURNER TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF GREENSBORO TO BE A WELCOME VISITOR EEVIVAL SERVICES TO LAST A WEEK The revival, which is held annually at Meredith, is to take place the week beginning February 12, as announced by Dr. Brewer, in chapel, Friday morn ing. Dr. J. Clyde Turner, pastor of the First Baptist Church at Greens boro, N. C., is to preach for us. Dr. Turner is known and recognized as one of the most powerful preachers in the state. He is a great favorite with the college girls of Greensboro, because he understands and sympathizes with young people. Meredith is fortunate in being able to secure Dr. Turner to speak throughout the week, and we are hoping, that the meeting will be a great one in every respect. Student Volunteer Conference to meet . at Duke Feb. 17-19 200 DELEGATES EXPECTED —PROMINENT SPEAKERS Durham, N. C., Feb. 4—(CP) Plans are rapidly maturing for the Student Volunteer Conference which will be held at Duke University from 17-19 of February. At this conference it is expected that more than two hundred delegates will be present, representing every college and university in the state, as well as thirty colored dele gates from the various institutions for the negroes in North Carolina. Prominent speakers have been ar ranged as well as many promising so cial functions. Dr. Edmund D. Soper, (Continued on page three HONOR SYSTEM HOLDS ITS OWN 509 TO 232 VOTE FOR HONOR SYSTEM TO REMAIN AT DUKE Durham, N. C., Feb. 4—(CP)—In a referendum vote here the Honor Sys tem was upheld by a vote of 509 to 232. This ballot was rather surprising since many predicted that the Honor System would be voted out. During the examinations just passed eight cases were reported by students, some thing that is unprecedented here, and more cases than had been reported by students here in the past two years. The shortcomings of the system have been attributed to the lack of know ledge on the part of freshmen. Already the committee is at work at tempting to revise the Honor Code, and very soon officials expect to be able to report one of the most effective Honor Systems in the state. Hanes, (CP) Editor. ‘B-HIVE" THE NEW NAME DF “Y” STDRE ESTHER MCNEILL, LUCILE GIBSON, AND MARGARET TROTMAN HAND IN WINNING NAME PRIZES UMQUELY AWARDED IN CHAPEL When the “Y” store committee and the B. S. U. cabinet members met together Friday night for the purpose of deciding on a new name for the “Y” Store, they found themselves con fronted by a monstrous task. Quite a number of girls had contributed at tractive and original names to the con test which made the decision hard to •ender. However, after much delibera tion, the B-Hive was finally selected as the most appropriate. This name had been entered by three people—Luclle Gibson, Esther McNeill and Margaret Trotman. Each of these three winners were presented with a box of Hershey’s chocolate bars, at the chapel exercises Saturday morning, by Madeline Elliott, president of the B. S. U. Before pre senting the prizes and revealing the new name of the store, Miss Elliott stated to the student body that these girls had done something which had never before been done in the history of the college. The Si A names leeeiving the next highest votes from the committee were; The Hut, B Store, Campus Cabin, Maroon Cove and U Store. Some other name which held a clever signi ficance were Eat ’em and Bust, Oasis and Callie Jr. Probably the most imagination was exerted by the con testant who suggested “Lucky Lindy, where we spendy.” And yet again, such conventional names as Meredith Supply Store and The Student Store were submitted. Also, Pastime, Hun ger Heaven and Cash Inn were names which appeal to those who know through experience. But B-Hive it is, and from now on, girls, let us give the B-Hive our hearty cooperation and patronage. Winnie Rickett a Welcome Visitor MAKES STRAIGHT TO THE HEART TALK B. Y. P. U. ASSEMBLY YERY INTERESTING Winnie Rickett was a welcome visi tor at B. Y. P. U. Assembly Wednesday night, February 1. We had expected Mr. Ivey to be here also, but he found it necessary to postpone his visit until February 8.

Miss Turlington was lovely in a light blue taffeta, trimmed in flowers and silver lace. She carried pink roses at her first appearance. Throughout the entire program. Miss Turlington was charmingly at ease and self-possessed. Miss Tur lington shows unusual ability. Her program was as follows. Air and Variations, op. 26— Beethoven. Hark!

U. which has hereto fore been known as the “New Union” has chosen for its permanent name the “Charles E. Brewer Union.” It has been interesting to see this, the new est and youngest, union grow to one strong enough and old enough to name itself. It is with a great deal of pride that this union announces its new name, and the hope in the heart of each member is that the Charles E. Brewer Union will live up to the name it bears. DOROTHY GERTRUDE MERRITT AN UN USUAL GIRL A SENIOR AT HUGH MORSON HIGH—NIECE OE MISS ROYSTER TO ATTEND MEREDITH NEXT YEAR We feei that Miss Dorothy Gertrude Merritt, niece of Miss Gertrude Roys ter, deserves the mention we are about to make of her, chiefly because she knows how to think and because she does think! Miss Merritt is a Senior at the Hugh Morson High School of Raleigh, and will enter Meredith next year. She not only makes a splendid generai average in all of her studies but she participates in a great many extra- curriculum activities. Dorothy is Publicity Chairman of the Giri Re serves, Secretary of the Morson Liter ary Society, Secretary and Treasurer of the Science Club, member of the Student Council, and associate editor and ciub editor of the high school (Continued on page four) NOTICE!

Some of the girls who never miss were conspicuousiy absent. Oh, yes, the missing were the four-minute speakers for the Centennial Campaign. Christmas holidays, reviews and Exams caused a cessation of trips for a time, but at last they have begun again, causing as much interest as before.

FORTUNATE IN OBTAINING NEW ADVISER The B. S. U. Council considers itself very fortunate in being able to an nounce that Misg/Ellen D. Brewer, head of the Home Economics depart ment, has agreed to assume the duties of Faculty Adviser to the Baptist Student Union. Miss Mary Loomis Smith, of the English department, has held this po sition during the first year and a half of the B. S. U.’s existence at Meredith, and we regret very much that, on ac count of bad health. Miss Smith was unable to return to her academic and reiigious duties. As Faculty Adviser to the B. S. U. she proved to be of inestimable value, and was loved by all with whom she came in contact. We feel that Miss Brewer, although she cannot fill the exact place in our hearts which Miss Smith fiils, wiil soon make for herself a place peculiar ly her own. The entire B. S. U. ex tends to her its heartiest and warm est welcome. Frances Scarborough wins tickets to State for best article in last week’s issue
