The staff has had a threefold purpose this year: First, to keep a record of campus events and alumnae happenings, to reflect the opinion of the student body through the editorial page, and to interest students in outside affairs in the world and in other schools. The first of these aims needs no comment—it is the purpose of every ncAvspiiper to report the happenings of its particular unit. With so many interests and so many groups on a campus it is ver^' difficult to express student opinion. One large college has gone so far as to abolish editorials bccause they do not tliink that they represent the policy of tlie paper. The staff this year has invited sug gestions and comments through the editorial page. The staff has tried to empha size the importance of tlie college students not cutting tliemselves off from the world events by failing to read news})apers and magazines but 1ms tried to stimu late interest in world news by giving in a vei'y condensed form some of tlie worlds happenings in the column “Perhaps You’ve Heard.” The staff has not carried out this pui'pose as it had planned in the beginning of the term but what ideas liave l)cen used were made possible by the heai'ty co operation of faculty and students who have always l)oon willing to contribute to the jjaper. (NSFA)—Four hundred and eighty-five out of six luindred and sixty-four Vassar girls, or seven ty-three per cent, regularly read the New York Times according to the results of a recent question naire on tlie reading of New York morning newspapers. Only 49 out of the 664 do not read the morning newspapers at all. —Miscellany Nacs. Hiss Poteat Honors Senior Class In Annual Art Evening (Continued from page one) an original composition “The Meredith Angels” by Miss Mary Tillery. Miss Poteat introduc ing this number said, “If we couldn’t find a Meredith girl homely enough to be Lorenzo the Magnificent, it was cosy to find girls beautiful enough to be angels.” Claire Benthal, Jean Lassiter, and Mary I^ois Parker appeared in this tableau. The last portrait of this gi'oup, “The Laughing Cavalier” after Franz Hals “was represented by Peg Le Grand. Tlie latter half of the program was the presentation of the Nine Muses and the Mother of tlie Muses as Statues. Arabella Gore represented Mnemoryne, the Mother of the Muses. The others were presented in groups of threes. Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry was represented by Ruth Harrison; Melpomene, Muse of tragedy by Mary Elizabeth Lawson; Clio, Muse of history by Beverley Davis. The second group was composed of Urania, Muse of astronomy represented by Katherine Davis; Terpsichore, Muse of dancing by Mary Elizabeth Lawson; and Thalia, Muse of joy, by Beverley Diwis. The last group, Polyliymnia, Aluse of sacred music was represented by Ara bella Gore; Erata, Muse of love, by Katherine Davis; and Eu terpe, Muse of harmony by Ruth Harrison. Throughout the program, at different intervals. Rev. Edwin MacNeill Poteat sang several vocal selections which received mucli applause. PUBLICATIONS STAFFS ELECTED FOR 1933-34 TWIGLETS Just as we begin to have hopes that this is becoming an “insti tution of higher learning” in reality, someone tells us of a remark like this, “Duenna? Oh, I thought that was something you put on flowers!” - And there is even a senior who refers (though she really knew better) to the James version of the Bible.” What of Peter and Paul? About the worst weVe heard recently is about the sophomore who told Miss Johnson Brother so-and-so belonged to the Guillo- tijie order of Monks! Maybe he was a headless horseman. Anne Bradsher is telling it around tliat a certain freshman, on being asked if her father were a notary public, said “no, he’s a Democrat.” What does that make Roosevelt? “Shake, shake, shake, On thy cold, hard seats, oh, bus. And we would that our tongues dared utter The thoughts that arise in us!” This poetic (?) effort is a contribution dedicated to all riders on the new bus. A refugee, so we hear, is a “man who is in charge of a prize fight.” We’d suggest the tense be changed to was. Approximately tKirty days, or 720 hours, or 43,200 minutes, or 2,692,000 seconds are left of this term, according to recent calcu lations, and then the class of ’34 M’ill be seniors. With what new records to establish? The class of ‘35 has let them establish an unprecedented one this year, for with only a month remaining of tlie year, tlie numeral ’34 still occupies one half of the allotted space on the water tower. But they haven’t found the crook— yet. At The Theatres STATE The Royal Family of the stage is now the Royal Family of tlie screen. John, Ethel and Lionel Barrj'more, in their first appear ance together on the screen, prove a triumphant triumvirate in “Rasputin and the Empress,” super-spectacle of the fall of the Romanoffs, playing at the State Theatre on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. A Sound News completes the program. The girls’, Debate Team of Mars Hill College recently won the State Junior College Contest at High Point. The query was: Resolved that the United States should agree to the cancellation of inter-allied war debts. Exchangds t B. S. U. NOTES MR. PRESTON HERE Well, a great man has come and gone—it seems; and may we say we feel the B. S. U. ac tivities on the campus have been greatly enriched by Mr. William Hall Preston’s presence?

A Laurel-Hardy comedy “Towed in Hole,” a sports novelty, “Hot and Cold Thrills,” and a Sound News com pletes the program. PALACE The keynote of “Our Betters,” satirical drama starring Con stance Bennett at the Palace Theatre, Monday and Tuesday is struck by Miss Bennett w'hen she says, “I never mind scandal, but I don’t expose myself to ridicule, if I can help it!” “The Pharmacist,” Comedy, and Sound News completes the pro gram. Lee Tracy in the finest role of his spectacular career—that of “Pi'ivate Jones,” plays at the Palace Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. “Goal Rush,” Car toon, “Be Like Me,” Comedy, and “Stuff on the Ball,” Sporting News Act, completes the pro gram. A voice teacher at Rockford College, Illinois, gave this amaz ing advice to one of her pupils. You don’t sing with enough fire. Let yourself go. Open up your mouth and throw yourself into it. —The Rotunda. COUNCIL MEETING AT N. C. C. W. N. C. C. W. B. S.
