I can read the plays of Moliere in the original, but I cannot order a meal in French. I found that somewhere and thought I’d pass it on—you make your own Kominents. if *S'mc7. There Be Saw in an exchange that Co eds at Millsaps College, Jack son, Mississippi, have decided that the ideal college man must be: A man who shoots a Hatter- ing line—without laughing. A unin who tells funny jokes —only once. A man who won’t believe Just anything—unle.ss you want him to. A nuiii who keeps yon guess ing—for a time. A man who sings love songs In youi- ear—and can carry a tune. A nmn who is totally inditl’er- ent lowarcl girls—except you. —Tjos Angeles Collegian.

FACULTY TRIO RENDERS FIRST RECITAL OF YEAR (Continued from page one)* with the audience. “On Wings of Song’’ by Men delssohn, was i-endered in such a manner as lo bring out all its beauty of tonality and them(!. The las(; number on the pro gram, “Syncopation’* by Ifreis- lei-, was in marked contrast to the rest of the program. Tt was unusually attractive because of il.s modern use of harmony and its lilting, catchy melody. increasing the social life of the collegia by the (’arnival spon sored by the association. Afontb- ly entertainnujnts in which the faculty, th(‘ entir‘ student body and their friends may partici pate will add much to the social life on the campus. New Plans For Peace The New History Society, fol lowing out a suggestion made by students all over the country, has outlined ideals and action for a League known as the “Green In ternational,” composed of “stu dents from among the schools, colleges, and universities of the world, intent on War Resistance.** Last winter tlie New History Society offered a prize competi tion to American students on the subject of World Peace. At that time many of the contestants sug gested that the Colleges could promote peace through an inter national Students League against war. The New History Society promptly wrote all who had taken part in the contest, and then, assured of their coopera tion, visited students in London, Paris, Cologne, Hamburg, Ber lin, Vienna and Geneva, before finally organizing the “Green Intaernational.” Since the idea originally came from the stu dents, the New History Society is anxious that they initiate it themselves on the campus, with the History Society serving as a temporary connecting link. It will also, however, as soon as ad ditional groups are formed, issue a “Green International Review,” containing news and information of progress. The symbol of the League M’ill be the “Green International” Shirt—“the outward symbol of War Resistance, the visual ex pression of world patriotism.” The “Green International” re quires from its members a per sonal pledge to refuse to take part in or to support any kind of war, either directly or indi rectly. Its provisional head quarters are 13S East SSnd, New York City. Barber Biology Club Discusses Birds The Barber Biology Club met October 20, at C:45 o’clock in Stringfield hall. A very inter esting program was given un der the leadership of Evelyn Byrd. Since birds are of espe cial interest this time of year the program was made up of topics concerning their activi ties. The program was as fol lows: Bird Migration, by Cor nelia Atkins; How Clever Birds and Beasts Fool Their Enemies, by Eleanor Rozar; Bird Poems, by Evelyn Byrd; Ornamental Birds, by Helen Sears; and Birds That Sing at Night, by l^A'elyn Crutchfield. After the program there was a business meeting, the purpose of which was the election of new members. MABEL YARBOROUGH GIVES PIANO RECITAL (Continued from page one) Perpetua, and Polonaise, proved a favorite with the audience. The last group was made up of three of Chopin’s composi tions, two short px'eludes, C Major and E Major; Nocturne, Op. 9, No. 1 and Etude, Op. 10, No. 9. Romance, Op. 28, No. 2 by Schumann, and Rondo Bril liant by Weber. Following the recital, a recep tion was held in the college par lors. Those in the receiving line were: Miss Mabel Yar borough; Mrs. Yarborough, mother of the young pianist; Miss Jtay Crawford, Prof. Les lie P. Spelman, and Dr. and Mrs. Charles E. Brewer. Marshals for the recital were: Misses Hazel Martin, Marguer ite Warren, Jamye Martin, Wil lie O’Quinn, and Mary Florence Cummings. FACULTY “TAKE-OFFS” BENEFIT LIBRARY (Continued from page one) the assistants, who have been realizing more and more, the need for more books of popular new fiction. Although there are many new books in the li brary this year, the majority of them are in use all the time and there are long waiting lists of students who are eager to read them. It is thought, that by maintaining a rental collection, which may be added to from time to time, the students will be able to read the best of new publications just off tlie press, and that, while doing so, each person, by paying the small f(-e which will be charged, will be helping the collection to grow and keep up to date. The University of Kentucky will publish pictures of the ten pro'fessors receiving the linost student votes in the space usual ly given to popular co-eds in the forthcoming edition of their annual.—Sivarthmore Poenix. “I deplore the lack of iutelli gence as compared with the over-production of intellect in America,” says Dr. Edward O Sisson, professor of philosophy at Reed College and former president of the University of Montana.—Idaho Argonaut. “The craving for superiority and its attendant disappoint ments are the bases for most of our mental problems,” says Dr. Andrew Woods, head of the Psychopathic Hospital at the University of Iowa. — Iowa State Student. In the future the Freshmen at Agnes Scott will be required to wear caps for several weeks. Are our Sophomores at Meredith in favor of adopting Agnes Scott customs ? t I B. S. U. NOTES 4 Study Couusk Week Today winds up' a week of study course which has been most successful in every aspect. The same plan was used this year that was used last year— that of combining the Y. W. A. and B. Y. P. U. study courses into one week. The teachers, coming from different places, were exceptionally good, and they did much for the students with whom they came in con tact. During the chapel period Mrs. Jones, of Charlotte, who is a returned mi^ionary from Brazil, gave many very interest ing experiences she had while down there and a new concep tion of Brazil was given. There were three B. Y. P. U. courses given at night and they were: “Soul W'^inning,,’ by Rev. Nor fleet Gardner, of Dunn; “Doc trines,” by Miss Cleo Mitchell, of N. C. C. W., and “B. Y. P. U. Administration,” by Miss Winnie Rickett. Sfkakicu at Vbspbus VVe are very fortunate in having one whose na?ne is very familiar to every one at Mere dith, speak at Vespers Sunday night, Miss Alva Lawrence, who is young people’s leader of the Woman’s Missionary Union. We are always glad to welcome Miss Lawrence to Meredith. COMING MUSIC EVENTS PROGRAMS ON THE AIR (Continued from page one) concert will be able to enjoy it from a distance. Professor Leslie P. Spelman, director of the choir, has ar- range«l a program of variation, one of the groups con sisting of carols from France, Russia, England, G e r- many, and .Bohemia. Solo ists who will render numbers, assisted by the choir, are: Miss Ethel Riowland, professor of voice, and Misses Hazel Martin, I^ouise Martin, and Josephine Arnette, members of the choir. The Meredith Trio will also as sist in the program, accompany ing some of the selections. Professor Leslie P. Spelman and Miss Charlotte Ai*mstrong will broadcast a joint organ and violin program from the college auditorium, Sunday afternoon, December 18, at 3:00 o’clock. Th‘ Ijenoir-lthynean contends that the sitying “Whoopee girls, Elon’s got the ball!” should be changed to “Lenoir-Rhyne’s got the ball!” But custom is strong. Tlio and student bodj wish to congratulate Mr. and Nrs. Leslie P. Spelman on the blrtli of a son, Leslie P.,'Jr« on Sundar November 27.
