MEREDITH REPRESENTED
AT SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
Catherine Moseley Attends Talla
hassee Meeting of Federa
tion March 28
Miss Catherine Moseley, president of
the Student Government Association,
represented Meredith at the convention
of the Southern Intercollegiate Asso
ciation of Student Government which
was held on the campus of the Florida
State College for Women at Tallahas
see, Fla., the week of March 28. There
were delegates and speakers from ap
proximately 30 southern colleges.
“The convention of the Southern In
tercollegiate Association was of much
more interest to us than the convention
of the National Students Federation I
attended Christmas,” said Miss Mose
ley. She gave as her reason for
this statement that the problems dis
cussed in Florida had more bearing on
our own campus affairs t^ian those
discussed at the more elaborate National
Convention. In Miss Moseley’s opinion
the following topics were of especial
Interest and benefit: “The Problems of
Denomination Schools", which was dis
cussed by groups led by Miss Virginia
Groffeuried, Huntington; “Technique of
Presidency” Jed by Lida Read Voiglit,
Sweet Briar; "The College Girl and Her
Art of Living." given by Miss Thyrsa
Amos of the University of Pittsburgh;
and "Campus Honor" led by Alberta Pal-
mour of Agnes Scott.
Two other subjects which were dis
cussed that are of interest were "Stu
dent Government—What It Is and What
It Should Be,” which was discussed by
Dr. Katherine T. Abbey, of Florida State
Teachers College for Women and an
address by Dean Shaler Mathews, of
Chicago University, entitled “The Ris
ing Generation and Its Moral Tasks,” In
which the Dean discussed youth’s part
in building up a new authority and re
building the morality of nations.
The delegates were delightfully en-
