U, Notes By FBABfCES CALLOWAY Con^ratiilntlons “Lib** We extend our sincerest congratula tions to Elizabeth Lee as our B. S. U. president for 1934-36. In our opinion she will be an excellent president and will keep B. S. U. work “going over” as it should. Nonsensical News Items Hanquet There ia to be an associational B. Y. P. U. banquet Saturday night, March 24, at the High Morson High School. Tickets, at thirty cents each, may be obtained from Miss Knight. It is hoped that quite a few girls from Meredith will attend. AN EXPLAiNATlON As editor of tliis publication, I take this much desired opportunity to niake an explanation in regard to the article which appeared in the last issue of this paper entitled The Time Has Come, signed by E. G. M. I make the explanation in justice to the writer of the article, and especially in justicc to the neM’ S. G. president, for wiioin the article—may it be clearly and emphaticall)'^ stated—was in no wise intended. The editorial M’as written over two week.s prior to tlie March 10 publication. It was intended for the last February issue, but could not be included in that. Since all elections were yet to be held, at the time the first set of copy went to the jarinters, the article was resubmitted, since the original purpose for the article was for it to serve as a general precursor of all student elections. When the returns of tlie student govermnent election were sent to the printers Thursdaj' morning, though with the proof of the rest of the paper, the editor knowing, of cour.se, that the editorial already mentioned did not refer to the newl}’ elected pi’esident, did not foresee a probable association of tlie two. The only reason such an association was made is tliat tlie two articles appeared in the same issue. Evex-y student who on first reading did so construe the editorial was rightfully incensed. It is unnecessary to point out tlie reasons why such an article could never be applied to our student president-elect. T!ie new S. G. president has shown her merits tln-oughout the past tlu-ee years, most of all by her personal character. She has also identified her self actively with campus affairs, has held responsible positions on tlie campus, and executed well her duties in them. She is at present secretary of the A.strotekton Society, a member of the Oak Leaven staff, and Sunday School Director of the College Department of the First Baptist Churcli. Last year she was president of the Sophomore Class, and she was vice YJresident of iier class her Fresh man year. This publication as voice of the student body entire recognises the possibilities in tlie coming year for the bringing of greater honor and added strength to Mereditli through the girls on the campus that have a pride in her upbuilding, and a feeling of the responsi bility of each girl’s rendering individual service. Tlie new Student Government pi-esident has, without a doubt, been ably chosen to lead the students in helping Meredith to realize the.se possibilities. Nancye Hi,Am Viccellio, Editor. Piigeunt The Young People's Department of the First Baptist Church will present a pageant Sunday morning, March 26, at the opening exercises. It is to be a program on home missions. Vcspprs The vesper service Sunday evening on home missions proved very impres sive and helpful. Elizabeth Lee gave a talk centering around the thought “Do now what you plan to do In the future.” Using colored slides, Miss Knight showed us the progress being made by the Home Mission Board in Its work among the Indians. The serv ice was closed with the song, "Speak to My Heart.” “INTELLECT” “Ti-uth is our element of life, yet if a man fasten his attention on a single aspect of truth and apply himself to that alone for a long time, the truth becomes distorted and not itself but false- liood; herein resembling the air, which is our natural element and the breath of our nostrils, but if a stream of the same be directed on the body for a time, it causes cold, fever, and even death. How wearisome the grammarian, the phrenologist, the political or re ligious fanatic, or indeed any possessed mortal whoso balance is lost by the exaggeration of a single topic. It is incipient insanity. Every thought is a prison also. I cannot see what you see, because I am caught up by a strong wind and blown so far in one direction tliat I am out of the hoop of your horizon. “Neither by detachment, neither by aggregation is the integrity of the intellect transmitted to its works, but by a vigilance which brings the intellect in its greatness and best state to operate every moment. It must have the same wholeness which nature has.—From Ralph Waldo Emerson. Honi« Mission OlYcrlng The March week of prayer for home mlssion.s is being observed this week by the Y. W. A, The offering that will be taken this week will go to the home mission board to help promote the work among the Indians, foreigners, and Negroes in our home land, and the work in Cuba and Panama. If the gospel falls here at home how can we hope for it to succeed in lands afar? Why not make our home mission offer ing as much as possible so that we in this way can help the work that is being done by the home mission board? For May Day the college will present “Forty-second Sereet." The last tUne the rooms were checked Miss White found everyone spotless Just as they have been all this year. The Seniors won an overwhelming victory over the Sophomores last Thurs day night, The gymnasium was so packed with the surging throngs who attended that seats could not be found anywhere. It has been reported that Sunday an icycle fell on one of the student’s wrists spraining It severely. It has been announced that private telephones will be installed in each room next year. Every student is going to be con gratulated publicly In the near future on her failure to indulge in gossip this year and her ability to keep her nose out of her fellow student’s business. News has been received that the stu dents will have no lessons to prepare next year. The Annuals will be given out to morrow. Tomorrow also when the students first awake they will behold a beautiful spacious swimming pool on the site of the gymnasium. Hereafter faculty members are going to start holding doors open for Seniors, who will in turn open them for Freshmen. The time for students coming in at night has been extended until 2:30 a.m. for next year and there will be no light bells. Starting next week all mall will be delivered personally to the rooms. There will never be another article like this in this paper. An investigation conducted by a North ern college revealed that there are six million college graduates In the United States. Incidentally there are the same number unemployed.—Rensselaer Poly- technlv. Hr. I'riictt Dr. Truett has gone, but the work that he began must continue. If you were a part of that great throng that heard him every evening, then you re alize what we as Christians have be fore us. It is a glorious task. We can do it if we will. As Rev. McNeill Poteat said In his sermon Sunday morning, "What a change would take place in Raleigh, if those thousands who heard Dr. Truett would go now and witness for Christ,'' Coming a little nearer home, if we of Meredith who heard and enjoyed Dr, Truett so thoroughly—if we would give ourselves wholeheartedly to witnessing for Christ, what a change there would be on our campus! Dr. Truett presented his truths with a simplicity and sincerity that caused us to determine in our hearts to try harder than ever before to live more in the “Jesus way.” Dr. Truett asked these questions: ’‘Does disbelief satisfy your conscience? Where are the soul refreshing fruits coming from unbelief?" He also asked, “Will your own goodness, other people’s badness, unbelief, or the doctrine of uni versal salvation meet the tests of the Bible, the conscience, life, and death?’’ In answering this question Dr. Truett said, “Christ alone meets these tests. He meets all tests. He should be our refuge. If we confess our sins, He Is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us,’' Wako Forest.Merodlth B. Y.P.U. Social The B. y. P. U. social Saturday night proved quite a success, A large group from both Wake Forest and Meredith were present. 'The program consisted of skits, recitations, readings and songs. The Wake Forest boys were hosts and for the Meredith girls I would like to say that we had a wonderful time! A newspaper staff in Knoxville was somewhat puzzled when a U. of T co-ed walked into the office and timidly asked to have her picture printed. She ex plained that it was part of her sorority initiation—and the picture appeared the next day.—The RotunOa. University of Vienna students who only come to classes for final exams pass the course as often as those who attend regularly. . . . Yes, but think how much more sleep the ones who attend classes can get,—Florida Flam- heau. According to an investigation at the University of Iowa, only one out of 11 college engagements results in mar riage. The other ten result in mirages. —HpotUffht. As a punishment for stealing pencils from the library at the University of Oregon, students are deprived of their shoe laces, which are then used to tie the pencil to the desk, . . . What do you suppose they’d do with hoss thieves? —Florida Flambeau. Here’s a motto: “Well, oh Candidate, as Emily Dickinson would say . . . ’tls time to get the dimples ready.’’—The Carolinian. Do you have? Poise Energy Reliability Sincerity Originality Neatness Ability Leadership Individuality Tact Youthful attitude? —Hiohland Outlook. I At the Theatres | A new romantic musical co-starring team makes its bow to the public at the State Theatre on Monday, Tues day, and Wednesday when “The Cat and the Fiddle” will be shown. Ramon Novarro and Jeanette Mac Donald are the co-stars and already they have been hailed as a sensational "find” wherever the picture has been shown. Both are widely known for their con cert work, in addition to their fame as screen stars. Both recently returned from extended concert tours of Europe, where they are popular both on the screen and the musical stage. Novarro, In fact, was literally mobbed by ad mirers when he appeared in public and Miss MacDonald is generally conceded to be the reigning favorite of the French people. Lanny Ross, popular radio singer in “Tune Up and Sing,” a screen Souvenir iind a News complete this program. Love that defies the dangers of the Arctic: a native hero with more ro mantic appeal than a screen Idol; and women whose beanty is touched with the pale sheen of Northern lights, are shown living their lives in "Eskimo,” epic of the North filmed from the fa mous story by Captain Peter Freuchen. The picture will be shown at the State on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A News completes this program. Jiiilet’s Itolo Leads to Fiinic That most famous of all Shake spearean roles, Juliet, has played an important part in the careers of two important members of the cast of Para- mount’s “Cradle Song,’’ coming next Wedne.sday and Thursday to the Wake Theatre. Dorothea Wleck, who makes her first American appearance in "Cradle Song,” was not quite sixteen when she went to Vienna with a drama study class from the University at Munich. Mutual friends arranged a hearing with one of Max Reinhardt’s directors. It was her reading of the lines of Juliet that led to an appointment with Reinhardt, and his subsequent offer of a five-year contract. DIXONS BRING HONOR TO FAMILY One of the most unusual families in North Carolina is that of the Dixons, who are originally from Shelby. The father. Rev. Thomas Dixon, was for many years a distinguished Baptist minister of Cleveland County. Dr. A. Clarence Dixon, the oldest son, was also a Baptist minister, hav- ing held pastorates In Baltimore, Brooklyn, and In London, succeed ing Dr. Charles H. Spurgeon, Mr. Thomas Dixon is not only a preacher, but a lawyer, author, and accomplished lecturer as well. Rev. Frank Dixon made the record complete by becoming another Baptist preacher. All three of the sons, incidentally, attended Wake Forest College, Dr. Delia Dixon Car roll, who does not need an identifica tion for Meredith students, received her M.D. degree from the Woman’s Medical College of the New York In* flrmary and has been practicing medi cine for a number of years. She haa been the Meredith College physician since the institution was founded.
