University of North Carolina Returns Lost Dinner Bell Stenhouse, Frew, and Gregory Make Highest Averages for First Quarter REGUIiATIOXS Along with the privilege of using the Hut goes the responsibility of taking care of it. When girls leave, they are asked to see that the Hut is left in an orderly and clean con dition. If this privilege is abused, students will forfeit the right to enjoy the Hut. A list of rules concerning the use and care of the Hut will be posted in the covered way by Sue Moore and Kate Broadfoot, who have charge of its opening. If everyone will abide by these simple rules and co-operate to keep the Hut clean, this project will be a success. Saint IMary’s dinner bell which disappeared after the Sigma-Mu Party October 7 and was seen in Chapel Hill on October 14, when all attempts to recover it were in vain, was returned yesterday through the efforts of Ernest L. Mackie, Dean of Men at the University of North Carolina. Mrs. Ernest Cruikshank received the following letter from Dean Mackie this week ; Twenty-one girls made honor roll for the first quarter of the 1944-4.5 session. Only twenty students reached the same B-|- average re quirement at the same time last year. Nineteen giids were nhmed on the honorable mention list, but twenty-seven attained a B average during the first quarter last year. ACADEMIC HOXOll ROIA. LETTER FROM DEAX MACKIE “Finally after rvliat has seemed a long time I know, to you and to us, too, we have recovered the bell. We have worked quietly through the members of the University Club pur suing various leads until this after noon when it was finally located. “We are sorry you have been in convenienced by some of our thought less students and that it has taken so long to correct it. We shall try to send it to you tomorrow.” Saint Mary’s is deeply grateful. This Is Our Own School Is To Receive Personal Bequest Of Margaretta Bowles Items Will Arrive in Near Future The Eighth Annual Student Leg islature of the State of North Caro lina met Friday and Saturday, No vember 17-18. Mavis Bunn, Sue Everett, Sibyl Goerch, Mary Louise Harris, Mary Holmes, Kathryn Lane, Sarah Stewart, and Elizabeth Thomas represented Saint Mary’s in the make-believe House and Senate. “Please state your county and name before speaking” became quite familiar to these girls. They were intrigued by every phase of the meeting, so much so that they are beginning to approve more and more of woman’s place in the political world. From all appearances, Sibyl Goerch may carry out her ambition to be the first Lady Presi dent. She made a grand senator, and Mary Holmes backed her up in the Senate over which Mary Louise Harris presided. It is no wonder that the Saint Mary’s bill, (See P. 4, Col. 3) A student’s idea of education and practice in obtaining this education may very easily tend to swell to ab normal proportion, to exaggerate the wrong emphasis in studying, to adopt and convert the entire idea of education and schools to a day by day, personal, surface mental devel opment. Very prevalent is this rut' into which a majority of students slip every year. How easy and comfortable, how smug and trivial it is for students to stamp out other interests rather than the reality of passing a required course. United States of America is a hollow, fa miliar, printed word for some of them—a fur coat, black market ny lons, a shell-shocked soldier to be passed with apathetic face, a college to enter and graduate from, a life to be lived. What? a life? to be lived? What a mockery! Liberty is not only a word pol ished and displayed extravagantly in history books. Men die for this word. They suffer, sweat, sacrifice arms and legs. They toil strenu ously, expensively to give this word liberty an instant meaning, reality, and strength. Dramatic appeal, emotional play easily may be concerned with the word of liberty. But are we so slight aSk to need this emotional awakening by sentimental phrase ology? War is riot just a slight hideous ness and fright which distvirbs us occasionally. Practices of war, death, starvation, our whole future is creeping over that open geometry book, that chocolate nut sundae, that new wood dress. Are we blind or so sunk in our rut of learning that have become mechanical and we moronic ? We should try to grasp and under stand the seriousness of this time. We should support the Sixth War Loan. Eight seniors were on the aca demic college honor roll; one sub freshman, three freshmen, and there sophomores were named on the high school honor roll. The students who made the college honor roll were Maria Gregory with an average of 92 on 6 subjects, Kate Broadfoot with an average of 91 on 5 subjects, Mary Arden Tucker, av'eraging 90 on 5 subjects, Annette Fulton also averaging 90 on 5 subjects, Sibyl Goerch with an average of 89 on 4 subjects. Sue Moore averaging 89 on 6 subjects, Ann Cutts with an average of 88Vh on 6 subjects, and Bettie Kendrick with an average of 88U> on 4 subjects. Seven high school students were also named on the honor roll; they were: Shirley Frew, a sub-freshman averaging 93(/.. on 4 subjects; Sarah Bain, a Sophomore averaging 90 on 4 sub jects; Mollie Hazen, a freshman also averaging 90 on 4 subjects; Louise Eichhorn, a sophomore aver aging 90 on 5 subjects; Roberta Huffman, a sophomore averaging 90 on 6 subjects; Hettie Murphy, a freshman averaging 88V(; on 5 sub jects ; and Anna Lee Smith, a fresh man averaging 88 on 4 subjects. BUSIXESS HOXOR ROLL So we think that we can skip that war stamp this week and get another double sundae. That is our own business, and all the flag waving in the world would not stop it. But our consciences can—if we would only stop to think. Is it an obliga tion, a duty, or a privilege? This war costs the L^nited States of America approximately $250,- 000,000 per day. ' The quota of the Sixth War Loan Drive will only run the war for two months, but that two months will bring our men nearer home. It is not obligatory, but let us try to buy at least one war stamp for every close friend in service and two for every member of our fami lies during this drive. Six business students wore named on the honor roll. They were Mary Cleaves Stenhouse averaging 93 on 5 subjects, Betty Griffin with an average of 91%, Carrie Anne Feagan averaging 90 on 4 subjects, Leonora Heptinstall averaging 90 on 4 sub jects, Sarah Ingle averaging 90 on 4 subjects, and Katherine Taylor averaging 88 on 4 subjects. HOXORABLE MEXTIOX Eleven seniors, one conditional junior, and five sophomores were on the honorable mention list for the academic department. They were: Randolph Gardner, Sara Coo Hun- sucker, Martha Parker, Jane Peete, Billye Pope, Sallie Robertson, Isa bel Robinson, Martha Stoney, Eleanor Thomas, Josie Barnes White, Frances Wollett, Barbara (See P. 4, Col. 2)
