SUBSCRIPTION PRICE ji.gfl Meredith College Stunt Afternoon and Night of 1938 has past, but there are many impressions left in the minds of the students. Some of these impressions will be of value, we believe, in planning Stunt Day for 1939. The purpose of this article therefore shall be, not to tear down the spirit and enjoyment of Meredith’s Stunt Day, but to set down certain ways by which we believe Stunt Day can be made more enjoyable. Our first observation is that Stunt Day is much too strenuous. By 11:00 o’clock Stunt Night the student, body IS near exhaustion, and it is days before they recover. The remedy we suggest for this situation is the separation of Stunt afternoon and Stimt Night. Doubtless, the activities in the afternoon are of great value both in promoting spirit among the students and in attracting alumnae and friends; however. Stunt Afternoon is less important than the night and should give way first. Why can’t we set aside another week-end for home-coming, for Student Faculty Day or for anything else you may choose to call it? If we thus separate the Palio and the sports events from the class stunts, we should have gone a long way toward relieving the fatigue which now accompanies Stunt Day. My second observation is that a few people have too much work to do for the stunts themselves. Now, we realize how much stunts mean to Meredith girls and how quickly they would resent any suggestions to simplifying the stunts—for instance, the programs. Therefore, we shall confine our statements to ways for helping to keep stunts as they are by simplifying the ways of producing the plays. In the first place it seems to us that it would be wise to require all the classes to submit their scripts one month before stunts. Of course, such a requirement would be hard on the freshmen, but we believe some way could be devised to help them; and certainly the other classes would profit by having the last minute rush of writing done away with. Secondly, we sug gest that an orderly schedule of practices be arranged through the office of the Dean of Women, thus eliminating too early, too late, and too frequent rehearsals. The reasons for this suggestion are obvious and need no comment. Thirdly, we believe that Stunt Night should be put on a date around which no other big events are happening. We realize there will always be conflicts in the college, but this year there seemed to be an extraordinarily large number of conflicts: the Memphis trip, the Student Legislative Assembly, and, most important of all, quarterly tests. It is not fair to either teachers or students for work and stunts to so clash that neither can be attended to properly. All of our sugge.stions have been simple ones, and ones easily carried out. We do earne.stly believe that the Meredith girls will benefit if they will put Stunt Afternoon on a different day from Stunt Night if they will write the scripts early, if they will exercise roa.son in rehearsing, and if they win pick a date which will not conflict too much with school work nr outside interests. M. M. 0 It soems that we are always saying something about tho.se who do not advertise with us. but there is a matter which we feel should be brought Co j'our attention. Several notices have been brought out here from various biisine,ss places in town and posted on our bulletin boards by someone. We do not know who is taking the liberty to post such notice.'^, but we consider their actions unauthorized. Since most ol' these notices are from firms that do not ad vertise in any of our publications, they are obviously using our i)ulletin boards as free adverti.sing. We feel that if our patronage is worth their efforts, it is worth an advertisement in our pu))lications. We again ask you to patronize our ad vertisers, () Too (Iiien we liL'ar the complaint that students cannot study in the libi'ary because of the unnecessary noise. This disturbance of tliusi; who are trying to study can be attri buted only to our thuughtlessne.ss, Many of us go to the library, read a newspaper or current periodical, and then gather in a little group to carry on a conversation. Do you not think that it would be fairer for us to wait until we are outside the library for such di.scussionsV Now a number of girls cannot study in their rooms be cause of noise and are forced to go to the library and many have work which can only be done there, so let’s leave these girls this one sanctuary for study—the library.

Erwin Chapel Speaker (Continued from page 1) economic relutionshlps such as ha.ve never been attempted by this or other governments before,” In discussing needs ot the na tion. Mr. Erwin said that there are three great needs ot the American people. The first of these, he said, is a spirit of tolerance* "a toler ance neither too narrow nor too broad”—one that coujd lit into our social order. The second of these groat needs is u spirit ot cooperation. Mr. Erwin stated. “'Tire good of the group transcends the good of the individual.” The speaker mes- tionod that since people are now living in larger groups, and are closer together, their problems be come common ones which can be solved only by united effort. Ho said that the era ot rugged Indi vidualism must give way to an era of coeporation In which wo "work in groups but do not look upon tho. American government as a Santa Claus.” Mr. Erwin said that the part of education Is to develop and train students In cltlzenahlp, He ex pressed tho hope that tho teachers now being trained in tho institu tions of North Carolina are to be tolerunl, coSperatlve, understand ing men and women who can guide the youth of the State along Iho path to good citizenship.' Tho last need expressed by Mr. Erwin Is a need of understanding —understanding ot civic duties and problems. If each citizen understood, he would cooperate.
