Subscription Price ?1.25 Welcome Dr. Poteat Wc wish to welcomc Dr. W. L. Poteat to the campus for the thirtj-fourtli Founders’ Day address. The faculty and the student body of Mereditli College have been looking forward to having Dr. Poteat on the campus again becau.sc he always has some con tribution which broadens their horizon and g'iv(*s tlioni nt*\v fooil for thought. Dr. Poteat is one of the out standing men of the soutli, hav ing made unusual achievements in the fields of education, science, and religion. Perhaps You've Heord— That Governor Ehringhaus “would not favor the cause of education carrying the burden of budget-balancing.” “Teach ers salaries are noM’ at bottom level,” he observes. Judging from the mass meeting hold at the city auditorium Tuesday, it seems that the Governor is echoing the “voice of the ])coi)le.” Harry Barton Homes saw his bill made law last week when the Senate j)assed 66 to 261 over a veto. A bill granting the in dependence to the Philippine Islands. But the little brown brotluM-.s don’t want freedom it seenis. Says Manuel Quezon, President of the Philipjjine Islands: “It is not an independ ence bill at all. It is a tariff bill directed against our products. It is an immigration bill directed aijainst our labor.” Miss Ida Poteat Honored •\i ihc linn* wht'ii I>ay is hcinji' '‘h‘l)rat(‘(l one looks l)ack with intere.st to those who have helped in making the ])re.sent sciiool.

We are glad that you have returned to Ahna Matei- for the Founders’ Day exorcises. It is good to have you on the cam|>us again. Missouri was the 36th state to ratify the 20th Amendment making it a part of the Federal Constitution. Hitherto the in auguration of the president has been taking place on the 4th of Marcii with the new Congress meeting at that time. By the new Amendment, the presiden tial inauguration will take place January 20, automatically eliminating the “Lame Duck” sessions of Congress. De \’alerio won a decisive vic tory on the rccent Irish Free State ])residcntial election. What will be the outcome of the election is [)robiematical but it is certain that the militant pres ident will now seek to effect Irish unity and that the Irish peo])le intend sooner or later to he a i-cal “I'.icc Slate” wilh no roi'i'iiiii Allojiiancc. Appeai-ing in Franco Lconi’s L'( )i(icohi Antonio ScoKi. one of the last of the old time opera singers, l)ade farewell to the stage last week and was greeted with thundering ajjplause from a packed house. He will spend the rest of his life in Naples whei-e ('aruso is buried. He will noi wrile liis iniMiioii-.s and above all lie will not try to teach, “I woirld be too critical,” he says. Incidentally, one is reminded lhai .Madaim* Shiiinann Ih'ink ki‘i‘])s on sin.iiiii'i. TWIGLETS Now tliat e.\ams arc over wc collect the usual crop of boners. There is, for instance, a certain sophomore who marked the statement “true” which said that a man learned the habits arid nature of a dog by introspection. But perhaps she had already “gone to the dogs.” There is the history student who thought the Sphinx a tribe of people living in Egypt. Oh, well, it is still a mj'stcry and a riddle how—you figure that out! And a student at a brother institution writes that Bacchus was a famous Greek bootlegger. Perhaps you noticed the general air of absent mindedness at the beginning of the new tei’m. Some instructors found it worse than the after effects of a holi day. Which reminds us that we have heard it told on Mr. B that he once handed in an absence slip marked “present in body, absent in mind” after a holiday. That might happen after a mere week-end now. Our associate professor of English once said that teaching a class after a holiday was like pushing a babj' carriage up hill on a windy day with the brake on. Or maybe worse. A friend reports that a would be customer in Miss Ellen Brewer’s “red front gift shop” asked for some “hydrophobia.” It was discovered, on close in vestigation, that she wanted some “hydrophobia peroxide.” She certainly had something, or a great lack of something else. We hear there was a near tragedy in a certain college library; an assistant found a girl’s nose buried in a book. You know that wasn’t here! And then there is the senior who, when asked in what course she expected to graduate, rc- ]>iied: “In the course of time.” 1 r Exchanges We see that the student body of Lenoir-Rh3-ne has recently elected a new staff for the Leno'ir-Rhyncan. Here’s hoping that the new staff’ will be as suc cessful in their work as the pre ceding one! 'J'liere has been a festival in Chfipcl Mill this week in honor ot Dr. Archibald Hondei'son and (Jcorge liornard Siiaw. licrnard I'liii/hoj/ iiiiil l‘r'>ii]icl is the brilliant biograjihy which Won for Di-.

I There ai-c l-i-t students, rep resenting twenty per cent of the student body of the State Teach er’s College at Farmville, Vir ginia on the honor roll for the fall semester. Tiie students of Agnes Scott College at Decatur, Georgia recently heard a lecture by Hobert M. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago. Mr. Hutchins is making great changes in the organization of the University. The students of the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina Mill have the op- l)ortunity of hearing Lawrence Tihbett, oiilsliinding opera tenor, who M ill a])]>ear in concert in the Aycock Auditorium of the college on February 20, From a letter addressed to the editor of the Alubaviian of Alabama College, we read: “Most girls at Alabama College like that one about, ‘Earl^' to bed and eai’ly to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and healthy and wealthy,’ but personally I like the one I con cocted better, ‘Clas.ses in the day, library at night, will make the teachers give you an “A” all right, all right.’ ” Basketball Season Gets Under Way The Basketball season is pro gressing slowly, it may seem; but the practice games of this past week and the next week will ])ut everything in readiness for the tournament which is to fol low immediately. Two weeks of |)racticing with the different class teams should line up the teams in the best possible form. The teams probably will lino up as follows: Seniors — Pat Abernethy, “S|)ock” Harris, Kathleen Rid dle, Virginia Green, Helen Ben nett, and ICat Hawkins. Juniors — Katherine Davis, Uuth McCoury, Vera Loe Thornton, Ella Lee Yates, ^'’irginia Garnett, Marguerite Warren, K.leanor Rozar, and Mirian Wilson. Sophomores — Mae Marsh- burn, Virginia Scott, Norine liutlcr. Undine Weeks, Virginia Rogers, Luna Jackson, Evelyn Fowler and Mar}' Allyn Lewis. Freshmen—Katherine Liles, Hazel Boswell, Louise Helsa- beck, Henrietta Castleberry, Mildred Eaton, and Dorothy Dockerv. MRS.

Gordan Revival Speaker Our annual revival will be held Februaiy 19-24, and the B. S. L^. has been most fortunate in securing Dr. S. D. Gordan, internationally knoAvn lecturer and writer of many books. He is esjjeeially known to Baptist students over the south because of his page of “Quiet Talks” in the Baptist Student. New Southwide Student Secretary We take great pleasure in an nouncing that the new South- wide Student Secretai’y, who takes the place of the former Miss “Dick” McConnell, is Miss Sibyll Brame, former Student Secretary of Blue Mountain Col lege in Mississippi. , Miss Knight Speaker Mi,ss Knight spoke before the Little River associational meet ing which Avas held Saturday in Candor. Her topic was “Work Among Baptist Students.” Stltdy Course Teachers Meredith seems to be furnish ing plenty of teachers and speakers, for news has just come saying Pearl Robertson and Martha Stack have been teach ing a study course in Knight- dale. ^’ESPEU Speaker I)]-. Gaines of the Hayes- Barton Baptist church will be the speaker at \’es]jcrs next Sun day evening. Those who have heard him before w ill be pleased that we arc having him. Ark You a Y. W. A. xMkmber.^' This question has been asked over and over again, and it is iiardly necessary to tell each one of my readers the ini|>ortance of being a Y. W. A. member. This is an opportunity you will not have after you leave college, pos sibly, 01- you may have to be an adviser on a Y. W. A. when you go out to teach. Have you gotten as much as }'ou could from the Y. W. A. at Meredith? Fiust Baptist College Depart.ment The college department at the First Baptist church will have charge of the opening exercise each Sunday morning for the next month. Biblk Quiz Contest Owing to the success of the past contest in all the eight B. Y. P. U. unions, it was decided to conduct a Bible Quiz contest, which will be Judged on three points: number of Bible readers, ])resentation of quiz, and res|)onse of union. Sir \\'ilfr*d T. (irenroll, world-famous explorer, doctor, and author, will be the com mencement s])eaker for the class of ’33 at Mt. Hernion School. Sir (irenfell has recently been knighted by the King of Eng land for his medical service on the Labrador Coast.
