Since wo have a newspaper at Meredith, wc want to make it one in which good journalism predomi nates. We want everything pertain ing to Meredith to he the best there is! Many of the colleges have solved the problem of obtaining good English in their newspaper.s, by put ting a journalism course in their curriculum. The journalism class publishes the newspaper under its direction. In this way better Eng lish is insured in the college news paper, and at the same time the student feels that he is getting some credit for liis work on the news paper. Many cilitors-in-eliief get credit for their ^vork on newspapers in college, and wo might wonder whether they deserve it, but if the newspaper staff.s were enrolled in classes, iindor the direction of a good English professoi', wc wonder whethei' they M'ould not deserve credit for their work? All cliaiigcs .seem lo come slowly, iind it also tnk(‘S jnoiiey to make the most of them. We arc striving to put out a real paper at Mere dith, and this is just a thought which might make our paper a better one in the years to come. OPEN FORUM The new tea room, next to Gal loway’s Drug Store on Hillsboro Street, has giv(!U Tub 'J'wk; an ad, so let’s patronize them. It is a charming tea room and tlicy claim to be “ilotlier’.s only canipctitor." Be sure to sign iij) for your B. S. U. JEagazine as soon as pos sible. It will soon begin telling you about the wonderful Southwidn eonvenlion whioli will be held at Ilidgecrerft in .Xune. If you have never been to Kidgccvcst tliert; are many surpri.ses in store fur you! Founders’ Day, wlii(rli comes on February 15, is one of the inxporlant dates at Meredith. It will proba bly mean that some girls will have imforlant dales also. Our legislature lias a bill pending concerning the Australiiin ballot in our State. Although tlii.s bill has some objectionable elaiisi?s, it seems to be a step forward and we hope that it will bo passed. Wo welcome llie Legislators at Meredith and liojie many of them will look our College over. Wo have already had some of fbe rerjj youth ful pages of both Kon.scs to visit us! Dr. Brewer has receDtly suggested that it might be possible to Improve the way in which we leave chapel, and ‘‘a hint to the wise is siiiRcient”—or, at least, should be. Can you imagine how the disorderly way, in which we usually rush from chapel, must look from the stage, especially to a visitor who does not "understand” the rush that must be made to get to class, to discuss the lesson before the teacher’s arrival? Did you ever stop to think that perhaps it is a hit em barrassing to Dr. Brewer when we all hurry from chapel in confusion, es pecially if an outsider is present? AVe should also consider this ques tion from the standpoint of courtesy, bc{'ause this is too Important a foun dation of society to be disregarded. Of Dear Sadie; I haven’t written to you for ‘‘sen tries’’ as they say up here. I don’t know what that means—but anyway I haven’t enscribed you a epistle in a long time, so here goes. On tlie first place 1 reckon you heard about our guarantee. They guaranteed we wouldn’t go down town for two weeks. And we didn’t. That was when some people were flying and they were afraid we’d get hurt. I guess that was It because they said some people had flew. Exams are over too. Y’ know what they are? Well the teacher writes a whole lot of words at you on the board and you write a whole lot back to het on some paper. But, if you don't write them right you have to take the whole thing over so you can write them right right back at the teacher. I guess things are going all right up here. You remember those bells what I wrote you about last year what ring to teli us to go to class? Well, the poor things are still ringing. I should think they would be all wore out. Founders’ Day is coming, Sadie. I’m real interested in it tho' I didn’t know anybody had lost anything. Any way we are going to have a party. Now isn’t that sweet? One of those bells is ringing to tell me to go to class. Sometimes they are real useful—that’s when they ring to tell the class to stop and sometimes, Sadie, they are a down-right nuisance! Write soon to your old friend. MYRii. course we do not Intend to be disre spectful, or actually discourteous to the faculty when we start rushing for the doors before the professors can get out, but, we must admit, that it can hardly be called respectful. We should also consider each other before we start rushing and pushing for the door. Dr. Brewer has suggested a plan by which everyone can get out In a mini mum of time, if we will only codperate with him, and with each other In put ting it into practice, so let’s be careful, hereafter, and think for a minute about it before we start making a “grand rush" for the door; and show that we can and will make the "exit” from chapel more orderly. E. G. B. A Londoner took an American to see "Hamlet.” "You sure are behind the times here,’’ remarked the American. ‘‘F saw this play in New York four years ago.” Poppa (at dinner): Willy, you’ve rcachcd for everything in sight. Now stop It; haven’t you got a tongue? Willy; Sure, Pop, but my arm’s longer. THEY SELL BECAUSE THEY’RE DIFFERENT!
