From the work of these girls it looks as If the Freshmen are going to have a champion ship team. The captain of the freshman team Is Harriet Rose. The hockey season this year was a dismal failure. Only two interclass games were playefl during the entire season. On November 17 the Sopho mores defeated the Freshmen by a score of 2 to 1- The freshman team again met defeat on November 24 when the Juniors scored 2 goals to the one of the underclassmen. Bccause of the failure of the senior class to enter into competition for the cup, the juniors vrere to meet the sophs in the final game. However, the juniors defaulted to the sophs last Saturday afternoon, and for that reason the sophomore class is this year’s recipient of the hockey cup.

STUDENT LEADER SPEAKS AT CHAPEL PROGRAM On Wednesday, December 12, the Student Govenmient Council had charge of the Chapel program, and presented Mr. Kenneth Goodson of Duke as speaker. Mr. Goodson is president of the North Carolina Federation of Stu dents. Before speaking on “Student Government and Its Possibilities” he gave several facts about the N. C. F. S. (North Carolina Federation of Stu dents). It was founded in 1022 on the campus of the t7. N. C. and began as a feeling of friendship between two literary societies of Duke and Carolina. Other schools entered In 1925. It has a charter from the United States, with Daniel C. Roper as Honorary President and is a part of the General Assembly of North Carolina. This Introduction showed that Student Government is more than a campus affair. Mr. Goodson then pointed out the pos sibilities of Student Government. In Its origin, government by the students was thought of as a tool of and for the faculty—as a police force. It la this Idea and attitude that the councils are trying to change. Is it possible to have an Honor System? Yes. Washington and Lee has one. There are no rules nor observances to abide by there—just one's lionor, and honor can never be en forced. Student Gorernment can only Inspire it. Students must form their own system and cooperate with the leader. Student government also helps tho students In forming Ideas which will go with them through life. An open forum helps this movement. The talk closed in a challenge to the students to join tho leaders in denying that Student Government Is a tool, in helping it to mould their ideas or senti ments, and in having a voice In the success or failure of the organization.

Aim Briidslier o» Comiultioe Ann Bradshor was appointed as one of a committee of ten to discuss aca demic freedom. “This discussion,’’ she said, “was enlightening In that it re vealed the student’s attitude in general toward national problems. It was clear that the ideals of freedom and liberty as expressed by this group of students will be tho determining factors of the government of the future.” The program which included a dis cussion on how the different colleges compare os to social regulations espe cially Interested Nancy Allen. “Some of the topics,” she stated, “such as sororities, were of little concern to us.
