Sceptre Makes
First Appearance
Shows Much Literary Talent
The first number of the fifth
volume of the Scfiptre was pre
sented to the students last week.
The extraordinary contents and
attractive size and cover mark the
edition as one of the most out
standing of issues.
Articles written by students
and faculty members who travel
ed last summer are among the
most interesting selections. Juli
enne Mongin’s “Roman France”
shows a knowledge and apprecia
tion of native France. Thelrna
Stone was realistic and witty in
her description of first travels in
France, bicycle riding in the Alps,
and courses under French profes
sors. We see foggy London,
Westminister Abbey, the National
Gallery and the Old Curiosity
Shop in “A Day in London,” by
Anne Smith. “Sacred Mountain
of the Shantung,” by lone Smith,
who has lived in China, is a de
scription of the beautiful sanctu
aries sacred to the Buddhists,
Taoists, and Confucianists.
“Aloha,” by Rebekah Hassell is
charming in its vivid fla'sh of
Hawaiian divers in the “emerald
depths.”
The short selections, poetry
and book reviews are of excellent
quality. Among the students who
have shown literary talent in their
contributions are: Inez Dellinger
(Continued on page five, col. 1)
Due to the fact that certain
student organizations have not
had time for their various meet
ings, a new chapel plan has been
organized. On every day ex
cept Monday, all student's will
gather in the chapel at 10:30. On
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays
our usual chapel service will be
conducted by Dr. Frazer; on
Wednesdays and Saturdays stu
dents’ meetings will be held. The
tentative ])lan is that Wednes
days are set for the student body,
leaving Saturdays for any class
business that may arise.
The student body has also elect
ed Janet Robinson to fill the
lewly-formed and necessary office
of announcer. Meetings on the
monthl}^ schedule are never to be
announced, but any impromptu
meetings may be called through
the announcer, provided notice of
such be handed to her before
chapel starts.
These plans have arisen out of
uggestions made by Alpha Kappa
Gamma. As soon as every one
becomes adjusted to such changes,
it is expected that meetings of all
kinds will produce better results
in attendance and promptness.

honorary leadership fraternity, is
sued bids to four new girls by a
apping service October 26, during
the regular chapel period in the
auditorium. The girls are; Edith

After a brief message by Dr.
Frazer the president of the fra
ternity, Jane Renfrow, stated the
aims of the fraternity and the
method of invitation. The four
girls were then conducted to the
stage, where they were received
by the other members who were
seated on the stage, dressed in
ceremonial white.

The freshman classes has the
honor of winning the silver trophy
last night, when Queens-Chicora
celebrated its first stunt night.
The affair exceeded all expecta
tions and produced great enthu
siasm among the four classes,
who competed for the winning of
the cup by the presentations of
songs, yells, and stunts. Each
class supported its colors with
loyal ardor. Fifteen minutes were
allowed for each program. The
freshmen, sophomores, juniors,
and seniors filed separately into
the auditorium, singing original
songs. Virginia Anderson, presi
dent of the Athletic Association,
offered the loving cup to the
future winners. Five minutes of

Colleges Plan
S. V. Institute
Darby Fulton To Speak
The students of several cam
puses are looking forward to
Monday and Tuesday, November
7 and 8, for this is the time that
has been set for the annual fall
institute sponsored by the Stu
dent Volunteer group. The pur
pose of this institute is to give,
particularly to the students in
terested in missions, an oppor
tunity to hear men who have had
actual vital experience on the
foreign mission field, and to pre
pare them to arouse more interest
in missions on their campuses and
in their churches.
This year we are privileged in
having two of the finest mission
aries that have ever witnessed
for Christ, Dr. Darby Fulton, for
merly of Japan, now executive
secretary of the Southern Presby-
erian Foreign Mission board; and
Rev. Kerr Taylor, missionary to
China, a man wide-awake to stu
dent interests. Miss Elizabeth
Manget, 1932 graduate of Duke,
who is now traveling secretary
for the South Atlantic region of
Student Volunteers, will be pres
ent to give an idea of what other
mission - interested students are
doing.
As college people, a great in
terest will be taken in the very
pertinent theme: “Youth’s Cru
sade To The Sleeping Church.”
Davidson, Wingate and Lenoir-
Rhyne will join with Queens-
Chicora in this institute which
begins at 2 o’clock Monday
