On a General Basis
FROSH COMMENDED
The Alumnae Association
of Charlotte was entertained
at a tea given by Dean Mc
Lean, Miss Foreman and Miss
Harrell in the Day Students’
building Thursday afternoon,
April 5. After the business
meeting a reading, Amy
Lowell’s “Patterns,” was
given by Clare Hazel and a
challenging talk on “The
Place of the Liberal Arts Col
lege” was made by Miss Ed
wards. Refreshments were
served by Mary Murray,
Jeanette Malloy and Marga
ret Truesdale.
“Another challenge to
youth” was made by Miss
Edwards in her talk and we
feel that it must be passed on
to each of you.
“When we look about us and
see what is actually happen
ing to college graduates now
coming out of college, we
must see the futility of too
early specialization, or spe
cialization at all, for that
matter, young lawyers op
erating filling stations, teach
ers selling insurance and real
estate. Of course these are
peculiar times and we look to
see them pass, but the old
days will not return. It will
be a long time before a college
official can honestly tell his
young freshman that a given
course in college will equip
him for a definite career or
profession, and yet he must
tell him something. I have
been thinking some about
what we could say to a young
man or woman entering col
lege. I think I should feel
something like this: I believe
in young people today. I be
lieve they are honestly en
deavoring to discover them
selves in a baffling world.
They do not need super-intel
ligence to see that they are
the victims of a disintegrated
economic order. They need
scarcely more intelligence to
see that men today who have
depended for their success
upon a wealth standard are
what they call ‘let down.’ Is
it not a good time to say to
students that our modern life
needs some new thinkers, that
we need a breed of college
graduates who will establish
and maintain some aesthetic
and ethical standard, who
will have an appreciation of

By a decision of the judges,
the Sophomore class has been
proclaimed winner of the
Freshman-Sophomore Queens
Blues Contest.
JUDGES
The j udges, members of the
English department of
Queens-Chicora College, were
Dr. Stout, head of the Eng
lish department; Mrs. Lyon
and Mrs. Towmend. Their
respective decisions were
made privately on a deter
mined basis and handed in to
the editor of the Queens Blues.
BASIS OF JUDGMENT FOR
CONTEST
The papers were judged on
a general basis—make up,
newspaper style, news con
tained in articles, and the bus
iness management were the
most important points con
sidered.
FRESHMEN TO BE COM
MENDED
The Freshmen are espe
cially to be commended for
their handling of the business
management of their issue.
They brought in a surplus of
“ads,” exceeding the neces
sary amount required to pay
for their issue. It is the cur
rent belief on the campus and
among the faculty members
that these two papers ran a
close race and that both
showed unusual journalistic
abilities.
The regular meeting of the
Day Student organization was
held Monday, April 9. Vir
ginia Gabriel announced that
plans for the Variety Night
to be given by the Day Stu
dents are in progress, the
program of which will con
sist of a play by Booth Tark-
ington, “The Trysting Place,”
songs by the Hubbard sisters,
and several tap dance num
bers. The regular program
for the afternoon consisted of
two duets, played by Helen
Thompson and Lucille Shore,
and several numbers by the
Hubbards. After the pro
gram, the president, Janet
Robinson, expressed her ap
preciation for the co-opera
tion of the group during the
year, and her enjoyment of
the work that they had done.
