According to Dr. Ecln-in Minis, Meredith chaj^el speaker, the end to be sought in collcge is growtli in certain fundamentals which is to be continued after the college experiences are over. In tlie September issue of Scribncr's appears an article by John R. Tunis, “Human Waste in the Colleges,” describing tlie amazing results of a survey conductcd in tlie Pennsylvania colleges. The study undertook to measure in a fair way “tlie permanent increment, tlie ett'ective accumulations, attributable to a student’s desire leally to assimilate the ideas that constitute an acadcmic education.” No place was given that knowledge due to “tlie urge merely to possess a degree as the result of having secured crcdits in a sufficient number of courses.” ^Vhen the scores of freshmen and senioi-s were com[>arcd, the conclusion was reached that the four years spent in college by the .seniors had done much toward making them uneducated. “Not only on the -whole was there no i-eal advancc by the seniai-s, but in so!ne subjects, spelling, for instance, and English literature, the seniors actually knew less than the sophomores!” In the face of charges such as tliese and in the jn-esent time of educational controversy, the collcge student, needless to say, must stop to consider the genuineness or su}Jorficialit3' of his own collcge growth. For tlie upperclassman, esjjecially the senior, this ques tion is significant: in what way have I during the coui’se of my yeai's in collcge become a different pcison socially, intellectuallv, and spiritually.!’ It must l)e remembered in this connection that sudi a growth is not the result of the classroom ox|>ericncc alone. 'I’hc athletic field, parlor, music hall, lecture room, and the library, all contribute. 'Die ])roduct, of course, is the educated man, the integrated personality—the ijidividual who has really grown up. TIIK'nKW ATIir.ETIC PKOGllAJI 'I'lio athletic director and athletic board come as the answer to a long felt Meredith need. Pi’cviously, many have justlfiablv de plored the lack of a well-integrated athletic program. It is just such a ]n'ogriiiii that the newly oi’gaiiized athletic board is now aiuiouncing. Swinnuing, soccer, baseball, horseback riding, and archery are being inti’oduced as regular sports foj’ the first time. A room lias been set aside for minor games including ])ing-]3ong and deck tennis. These are to be supervised by iMiss Warnoi-, whose caymble direction 1ms made these plans possible, Thus placed on a different level, athletics at Jilcreditli should conti-ibute largely to the health and hai))>iness of all Meredith students. It is hoped that theij’ intelligent ])arhicipation and heljj- ful cooijoration will make r>f this a vital—not, of course at the expense of other phases—]jhase of the collcge life. AXNOrXCE.ME>^ It is the express aim of the Twic. to j’epi'esent in a fair way the student body of this institution. Kor the effective accom]>lish- ment of this end, the students themselves miist contril)ute. I^ast year opportunity was given foi’ ex))ressions of student opinion in an Open Forum cohinui, but the stmlent i)ody failed to respond. Again the request is- being made for non-stafl' contributions, consiNting of any facts, any criticism oi' connnendations which any student tliinks will uecoihplish something by being )>rinted. Open Forinn articlesmust be .signori. New Members of Choir and Glee Club Are Selected The try-outs for the Glee Club niid CJiolr were held lost week.

' Summer School Soliloquy By MARY JOHNSON McMILLAN Anyone who thinks that It la hard to concentrate at Meredith should, really should—try concentration at Wake Foregt-Meredith Summer School, ril leave it up to you—how can anyone study with a radio some where playing “Moonglow," and a couple making love under your win dow, and the moon a perfect poem Itself, tangled In the branches of the magnolias and elms on the campus? VoH are right, it can’t be done. There Is really very little incentive to study there—much less than there Is at Mere dith, As a place to study, the library makes a perfectly swell rendezvous for first one person and then the other. Someone summed up library study in these words: "Yeah, who can study In that place? Half the dates that are made are about like this. ‘Let's’ go swimming. I’ll meet you at the library’.” Jtnt, there really Is one point that I really should clear up. Contrary to the general supposition, ouo really does have to study, more or less, at sum mer school. Not by any means is Wjike Forest all music and moonlight. I. for one, had tho dire misfortune to wander Into Dr. Reid's psychology class, and was practically swooning the whole summer trying to find out what perception, the sensory qualities, synaesthesla, and a lot of other “Stuff was all about. ’ Besides their being so hard, the fact that classes begin at seven-forty in the morning Is not entirely In their favor. I had a class lii American Poetry then, and I'll bet that even Will Shakespeare himself couldn’t get In a poetic frame of mind at that hour. Sooner or later, though, it gets to be later in the day, and that dilHculty Is forgotten^nntil seven-forty the next morning. There's one other thing that any girl who might go to Wake Forest Summer School for the flrst time should be warned about. Please, please, for tho sake of all that's fun, believe very little of what any hoy over there tells you. Ho doesn’t be lieve it himself, you may be sure, so why should you? Ta-ta.

Joseph Cawthorn and a cast of outstanding players will 1)6 shown at the Palace Theater Mon day and Tuesday. Wholesome, ex tremely funny and punctuated with some of the most humanly dramatic momenta seen on the screen in a long time, Unlversal’s “The Human side” can well be regarded as one of the outstanding films.
