Acc«ptancc (or mftlllnff At hpccIuI rate of puatugc provided for In Soctfon U03, Act of Octobcr 3. 1017, nuthorlscd October 11, 1923. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE 11.50 Welcome, Alumnae! Today is what we consider as homecoming day for the Meredith alumnffi, and the Twig staff takes this opportunity in behalf of the student body to welcome you back to your Alma Mater. Your returning shows that you are still in terested in us, and makes us anxious to show you that we are worthy of your interest. We are very proud of the many improvements that have been made on our campus recently and would like to use this occasion to have you enjoy them with us. We hope that you will be as well pleased with them as we are. I’m sure that I speak for the entire student body in saying "Come back again soon!” Every time students pass the bulletin board in A Dor mitory they have to spend a great deal of time searching for any new notices which might have been posted. In con sequence, students often miss important meetings and mes sages intended for them. Not only is time wasted but the bulletin board presents a very untidy appearance. I should imagine that guests com ing into the dormitories and seeing these boards the first thing, would think that our whole organization was "out of order” too. Of course we know that our system is worked out to the last detail and functions systematically." but don’t we need to impress our visitors to think likewise? I’m suggesting that we set aside a bulletin board especial ly for the faculty and have those in A and C dormitories strictly for student notices. In doing this, students will learn to watch the faculty bulletin boards for important fac ulty notices now being overlooked because of unimportant student notices. In view of the fact that next Friday is Armistice Day I feel that every student should stop and think of world con ditions. No longer can the youth of America ignore the vital problem of keeping peace; it concerns us too deeply. We must seek a basis for world peace! The United States Peace Committee has rendered the following program, which I have taken from the N. S. F. A. Reporter, as such a basis: L Limitation and progressive reduction of armaments. 2. Economic reconstruction with the assurance of justice to alt peoples as a basis of international well-being and sta bility. 3. Adherence to the basic principles of international law as the guiding and governing rules of conduct among na tions. Respect for, and observance of treaties freely en tered into. Respect for treaties should not become the basis for freezing the status quo. 4. Abstention from the use of force in pursuit of national policies and from interference in the internal affairs of other nations. 5. Collaboration in the freest possible intellectual ex change among the peoples of the nations. 6. Support of international cooperation in .such ways and by such methods as may be practicable and as advance and do not contradict this program. 7. The e(iuality of all people and races is basic to the .se curing of a peaceful world order. Economic, cultural and political rights should be guaranteed to racial, religious and political minorities within nations to les.sen war tension. Sub ject nations and colonies should be started on the road to self-determination and freedom. “BETWEEN YOU AND ME” (IS tKii II i»ili(liiil matter, but ask Ana Louisa almut her "loague of natlous.” How to win Irlend.i--iiniuiic aa to l>ow Louise Dickie works her H/atem of sitting on thn eiiU nf the row nt church.

Several aenloi-H and two or throe juniors would lie chartor members, Idle Minutes By Virginia Vaughan Todny Is the last of October and I Bee It go with rogret. To me this Is the most beautiful month of the year, and this year more beautiful than over. Every day when I walk to school I enjoy the golden aun- llght, tho ever-changing colors of tlie trees, and the hriak, cool air, Somehow It excites me and I want to do all sorts of things. In look ing through an old scrap hook, I found a poem by John Chnrlea Mc Neill about October, and it ex- preaaes better than I ever could, my feelings about this time of the year. OCTOBBR The thought o£ old, dear things Is in thlue eyea, 0 month of memories! Mualng on days thine heart hath sorrow of. Old Joy, dead hope, dear love. 1 see thee stand where all thy slaters meet, To cast down at thy feet Tiie garnered largess of the fruit ful year. And on thy cheek a tear. Thy glory plows In every blade and leaf To bind the eyes of grief; Thy vineyards and thy orchards hind with fruit That sorrow may he mute; A hectic splendor light thy days to sleep Ere the gray dusk may creep Sober and sad along thy duaty ways. Like a lone nun, who prays; High and faint—heard thy pass ing migrant calls. Thy lazy lizard sprawla On hla gray stone, and many slow winds creep About thy hedge, asleep, I’he sun swings farther toward his love, the South To kisa her glowing mouth; And Death, who steal among the purpling bowers. Is deeply hid tn flowers. Would that thy streams were Lethe, and might flow Where lotus blossoms blow. And all the sweets wherewith thy riches bless Might hold no bltternessl Would, In thy beauty, we might all forget Dead days and old regret. And through thy realm might fare us faith to roam. Having no thought for home! And yet I feel, beneath thy queen's attire . Woven of blood and Are Beneath the golden glory of. thy charm Thy mother heart beats warm. And If, mayhap, a wandering child of thee. Weary of land and sea. Should turn him homeward and from his dreamer's quest To sob upon thy breast. Thine arm would fold him tenderly to prove How thine eyes brimmed with love. And thy dear hand, with all a mother's care Would rest upon his hair. Here and There Among the Exchanges By EvKi.Y.v Levjnis So many interesting things come In from the exchanges that we feel selfish keeping thero to ourselves. Through this column each time I wish to pass on to you the best of these. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have. If you’ve heard this one, stop me. It came from an exchange. Professor (to freshman); "Please tell me, what has become of your ethics?” Freshman: "I traded it la long ago for a Hudson."—Ex. And did you see all the publicity that Ml-, and Mrs. Loula Trunzo received from tho Wake Forest Old Gold and Black—their pictures on the front page. Mrs. Trunzo is our own Blerne Wiley, ex-'40. And while I'm on the Old Oold and Black I might mention the publicity that Margaret "Frosty" O’Brien got from the "Spotlight." Incidentally, the pre-med exams are i)eing given at Meredith soon In case any of you gals have sud denly decided to atudy medicine. Meredith aiao got Ita share of publicity from the Tecfnilclan late ly when Us "Roving Reporter" asked nur worthy opinions on such sub jects aa what we thought of State College hoya »nd hull aesslonsl Dr. N, Y. Gulley, of Wake For est. deserve.s our sincere thanks for so nobly defending us from our cow hiizurd. The same goes tor Mary Betiy Brown McMillan for her contribution to the worthy cause. This little note of consolation appeared in the G. C. Collegian: "Girls, there’s a certain young boy that frequents the campus, and If you haven’t dated him yet, don't Rive up hope; he’ll get around to you," Sn they have one. too! Because I have been accused ot not having tho proper amount o£ senior dignity I would like to add this little bit of wisdom (??) I ran across tlie uthcr day. "DlRnity Is a narrow, unstable bcarlns which mental spindle- shanks try to stand upon when they have no other support." The foilnwlng little note ap peared in the Angelon CoUe- glan: "A profossor In one ot tho east ern schools gave hla reasona for cluHsitying women as angels—they are always up In tho air; alwaya hnrplng on somBthlng; and they nover have an earthly thing to wear."—L. A. C. Could this poaaibly apply to us? BecnuHe my column will bo prin cipally road (I hope) by the fairer a!x I'm handing down some advice uspcelally for you. Ailvlcu foi- the Women Keep away from track men— they're unuaually fast. Never make datoa with biology students—they enjoy cutting up too much. Tho football hero Is all right- he'll tackle anything. You can trust a tank man—he'll dive In and do bis beat. The tennis man is harmlesa-he enjoys a racket. Watch out for the baseball man —he hits and runa. Be careful ot the dramatic mem- boi'—he usually has several good lines. Don’t play cards with a elvll en gineer—he's a bridge specialist. Always let the band members talk about themselves—they enjoy blowing their own horn. —Winthrop Johnsonian. ISIght qualitiea desirable about a girl: 1. Dress well. 3. Don't eat much on dates. 3. Pleasant converaatlonallst. 4. Don't eat much on dates. 5. Don’t be snooty. 8, Don’t eat much on dates. 7. Be a good dancer. 8. Don't eat much on dates. —The Worth Wl?id, And In caae you're having ti'ou- ble keeping the weight down try thla guaranteed reducing diet from the (ialemltc. Your Gtianintocd neduchii; Diet Since the days when curves were "the thing" ai'c just about gone and since the slim boyish Jigger is the kind to have now, the ones ot ua who are a little on the plump aide are faced with a great prob lem, I really don’t know of any thing harder to say than “No des sert, thank you,” or "I really don’t care for bread," especially when the person next to you Is some aklnny little thing who practically gorges her food, cats bread and at leaat two desserta and doesn't gain an ounce. But don't give up hope, girls, fur after years of uaeleas ef forts at dieting, I have at last found a guaranteed, sure cure for excess weight, and now if you’ll read the following rules: Kqiilpinciit 1, First, you must buy a T-Model Ford—(be sure that It’s a model not later than the 1025 one), 3, Be sure that you have at least three bad tires, 3. There must be no top whatso ever, 4. If, by any chance, there should be a self-starter on this automo bile, have It taken off Imme diately. Further equipment: 1. One piece ot tire patching. 2. One Jack without a handle. 3. One rusty pair of pliers. •1. Two pieces ot haywire and grapefruit knife or an Ice pick. Section A (most important one): No. 1. Never put this automobile under a shelter of any kind. No. 2. Arise at aeven a.m. (or seven-thirty—It really doesn't mat ter just so It happens to be a rath er chilly morning). No. a. Turn tho Ignition to the right and pull the spark down. No. 4. Walk to the front of tho autoinnbile, put your hands on the crank, then, vory suddenly, give the crank a violent Jerk upward. No, 5, Pick yourself up, as best DRESSING UP DOBBINI By Jane Thompson 9S as you can, from wherever you happened to tall. (The above rules should be prac ticed every morning). Section B (Rules of less lmpo^ tance) L Plan to run out ot gas at least live miles from a filling station. 2. Start to tho picture show In a neighboring town and, (by the way, this.town must be at least eighteen milea from your own), when you're about six miles out side the city limits run over a nail or some glass, if you have n't already had at least three blowouts. Guaranteed that you'll have the heartiest patch of corns end cal louses on your hands, knees and feet In seven counties; also, that at the end ot six weeks or maybe a month you'll be at least flve pounds underweight. Ghosts ’Round Meredith "And the goblins'll get ya et ya don't watch out"—(quote "Little Orphan Annie") was the watch word 'round Meredith when Hal lowe'en staggered in this time, Woo-woo—ghosts (nearly every body) hobgoblins (especially Mlsa English), cowboi-s (one—Dot Will son), Dopey (Dot Crawford), Jack and Jill (Marietta McLendon and Mary Gwin Oliver), little girls (of 10 years ago) Lucy Rogers. Mary Gray Pippin, and Mag' Holland), clowns (Mary Jane Llndley and Dot Corbett), even Greek gods (Blanche Johnson and Lois John son—ah, me), terrific Turks (Car olyn Crltchor and Coca Burns) and even the gipsy In Kay Mldgetfs soul was brought out and so on and on Into the night—(yawn, yawn)-well anyhow, they all gathered down in the dining hall for a regular Hallowe’en foncy dress dinner on Monday night. Oc tober 31. Ferocious jack-o'-lanterna on ouch table furnished u flickering light and a lot of atmosphere, and autumn leaves served as further table decoration. Cornstalks and pumpkins scattered around the room and on the floor carried out the idea. Peanuts (crunch-crunch) were on the tables, and pretty anon there were peanut sheila to add (7) to the floor decorations, The menu consisted of a fruit cocktail and a main course of fried chicken, carrota, sweet potatoes and pickled peaches. Apple elder (slurp-slurp) served as the drink, and tor dessert, doughnuts (smack- smack) and ice cream with a pumpkin (In Ice cream) on top ot it. Dot Pender and Virginia Council by request furnished piano music. Dot specialized In "I Cried for You," and "Hark, the Sound ," while little Council swung out with "Satan Takes a Holiday," Oh, hitter woe—like all good things—was Anally ended, but ot course you can't eat your Hal lowe'en dinner and have it, too, etc. Miss Marian Ball, dietitian, and Miss Margie Stallings, assist ant dietitian, were given a real ovation by everyone. ANNIVERSARY DINNER IS GIVEN DR. BREWER Ou Friday evening, October 88, In lionor ot the forty-seventh wed ding anniversary of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Q. Brewer, the faculty members who live on tho campus Instead ot dining at small tables for eight as they usually do, sat at a large control table In tho college dining halt and enjoyed a regular college dinner with the Browers. A boautltul white and green wodding cake lent a festive air, As Dr. and Mrs, Brower onterod tho dining hall all the atudonts sang their congratulations. Dr. Brovror re sponded with a tow words ot ap preciation. Scared? Congratulation! By Virginia Sluder "Gee whlllkins! I'm scared stlft!” Every day of our lives we bear someone say that, and it isn’t al ways a freshman! Not by any means. In fact, the older we get tbe more able we are to be afraid! It you ever got scared, I am proud ot you! It means that you have something in you that will push you on to great things. A person who has never been afraid has no Imaglnatl07i. And a person, espe cially a student (and aren't we all students?) without Imagination Is worse than an automobile without a motor and gasoline to run it! Now, ot course, I am not talk ing about whot people call fear; that Is. the kind wo think we feel when we report to an especially Important 8:30 class after we've taken a 10:20 date the night be fore, and on top ot that helped our selves to a light-cut to make cof fee, That isn't real tear — that's only a feeling ot guilt. It's our ponscienees repenting because our are somewhat warped tor a moment. The fear I am referring to is the tear that Is related to rever ence. In tact, at times it is rever ence! Remember tho times you've had to cell on your mind and hands to create aoniething? At tbe stort you were a little scared, weren’t you? Good! Thet's the fear I’m discussing! Robert Henri insists that everybody who has any re spect tor painting feels scared when he starts a new canvas. Mu sicians admit that when they begin on a new recital they feel scared— In superlative terms! Writers twist In their chairs, and nearly push the keys ot their typewriters out ot place—so scared they are. As they begin tbelr careers, even teachers feel a little shaky about the lower limbs—and their hearts beat faster! Everybody who Is any body Is scared—scared they will not curve a line right, they will make natural a note that should be flatted, scared they will not Inter pret correctly, scared they will not give the pupil the thing ho needs! Fear is a wonderful thing! It keeps us on our toes! You haven’t really lived unless you've told and listened to ghost stories: The lights look dimmer than they really are (and that's saying o lot), the cluck sounds like a tractor, steps In the hall sound like those ot ghosts Instead ot girls, everybody gets Into leas space than It ordinarily takes for one person, the door opens—and everybody screams! That kind ot fear is to be respected—It's fine and dandy. It at least proves that imagination Is in full swing. Keep it up, and more power to you. Don't let anybody make you afraid of being afraid. It you pos sess that tear that is like rever ence and courage, hang on to It for dear life. It will spur you on to that goal you have set tor your self.
