Change seems to be the order of
the day. Together with the many
changes in rules and equipment
that have taken place at Queens,
four new members have been
added to the faculty. They all
have splendid records of prepara
tion and achievement behind them,
and they promise to be an asset
to the Queens-Chicora faculty.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT
The foreign language department
is very proud to have Dr. Delano,
of East St. Louis, Illinois, as in
structor of French and Spanish.
She was formerly a member of the
faculty at State University of
Iowa City. She received her Bache
lor and Master degrees from Wash
ington University at St. Louis;
and acquired her Doctor’s degree
at the University of Iowa. Dr.
Delano was abroad for fifteen
months studying and traveling.
She spent much of her time abroad
in Madrid, Spain, where she did
extensive work in the National Li
brary of Madrid.
BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Dr. Howe, from Syracuse, N. Y.,
is the new head of the Biology De
partment. She previously taught
at the State Teachers College,
Harrisonburg, Virginia. From
the University of Syracuse, she
received her Bachelor and Master
degrees, and later she was award
ed her Doctor’s degree at the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Another addition to the Biology
Department is Miss Nooe, of
Statesville, N. C. She was a mem
ber of the faculty at Bristol, Vir
ginia, before taking up her work
here. Miss Nooe acquired her
Bachelor degree from Meredith,
and her Master degree from Co
lumbia University.
HOME ECONOMIC DEPARTMENT
Miss Fulton, whose home is in
Pittsburgh, Penn, is a new mem
ber of the Home Economics De
partment. Last year she was die
tician at the Fifth Avenue Hos
pital in New York City. Before
Working there Miss Fulton taught
at Beaver Falls Senior High school,
at Beaver Falls, Penn. She re
ceived her Bachelor and Master de
grees at Columbia University.
The Coronet, which is the new
publication of Queens-Chicora Col
lege, is expected to make its first
appearance on the campus some
time during the last week of Oc
tober.
This new publication, has been
classified as a literary annual and
will take the place of the Sceptre
and the Edelweiss, the magazine
and annual respectively of the col
lege. It will appear in magazine
form much on the same style as
Vogue and will be issued five times
during the school year. Leather
bindings are to be distributed
among the students upon receiving
the budget fee. These binders are
of a loose-leaf variety, and each
issue can be clipped in so that
at the end of the year each stu
dent will have a regular annual.
The Ccuronet will publish ma
terial of a literary nature and will
contain class pictures, snap-shots,
regular annual-type features, or
ganization pictures, alumnae news,
sport events, and many unusual
features.
The idea embodied in this new
type of annual is both novel and
unique. It represents a breaking
away from the old stereotype an
nual that every one has grown
tired of and for which many have
desired a more interesting substi
tute. This move is being watched
with great interest and perhaps
a little skepticism by colleges
throughout the South.
Perhaps, one of the strongest
points in favor of the magazine is
that all exhorbitant prices charged
for annual cuts will be done
away with. Only special feature
cuts will have to be paid for by
the individuals concerned.
Illustrations for literary material
will be illustrated by members of
the student body.
The Coronet is to be published
by the Herald Publishing Co.,
under the able management of
Messers. Alf Asten and Jord Jor
dan. The disigners are The Art-
craft Engraving Co. Virginia
Sampson is the managing editor.
May D. Marion, the business man
ager, and Jeanette Malloy, the
literary editor.

Changes On
Back Campus
Alpha Delta Theta House
Rebuilt
The first speaker of our school
year. Miss Carrie Lena McMullen,
Traveling Secretary of the Stu
dent Volunteer Movement was
with us through the past week-end
leading several meetings. This
movement, organized and carried
on as a Student Fellowship in col
leges, universities, and professional
schools, has fundamentally a mis
sionary aim. Through its belief
that Jesus Christ belongs to the
whole world, the organization has
an interest that is co-operative with
other student movements, mission
ary agencies ,and church boards,
as well as a scope that is inter
denominational and coeducational.
Its members is international, in
cluding students of Canada and
the United States, as well as those
from other countries temporarily
resident among us. As an ever
growing movement it is initiating
and conserving, deepening and
crystalizing missionary interest
into an active purpose of service
abroad and at home, financial sup
port, advocacy, and prayer.
The entire student body has en
joyed the privilege of hearing Miss
McMullen on several occasions.
Friday evening at the Boarding
Student Prayer Meeting she meas
ured a new depth in the help that
calmness and serenity of some
could give after the busy rush of
the school day. In the chapel Sat
urday morning Miss McMullen
brought a brief message of the
missionary and his work as the
work of greatest importance to us
today. The missionary enterprise
has been the most constructive
and progressive work of the church
—constructive in its aid of new
enterprises and advancement of
international interests; progressive
In its constant and ever increasing
achievements towards its ultimate
goal. The geographical scope of
missionary work has entered into,
though not covered, every coun
try in the world; the world itself
is its sphere.
Looking vertically upon society,
missions still treat the greatest
depths socially. Though world
trends of today are chiefly inter
ested in such forces as communism,
radicalism, or socialism. Christian
progress in world nations is still
a primary concern. Missionary
interests are taktn no more as
duties for sanctimonious believers.
The goal of the empires has a
gloriously triumphant future in
fulfilling the purpose upon which
it has entered—that Jesus Christ
be known throughout the world.
Her brief visit here has awak
ened new enthusiasm in our small
group at Queens. The band is
planning for a progressive and an
instructive year. Later in the fall,
though the day has not yet been
set, one of the four North Caro
lina Annual Institutes of Student
Volunteers will be held in Char
lotte. Each of you who is inter
ested is invited to join with us at
these meetings where prominent
speakers will tell us more about the
Student Volunteer Movement.
During the summer months a
number of improvements have been
made in the houses on Sorority
Row. The Alpha Delta Theta
House which burned in 1932 has
been rebuilt and refurnished. Dur
ing the first days of this college
year, a house warming was given
for them, and the house is now com
pletely furnished and docked.
Both the Kappa Delta and the
Phi Mu Houses have been repaint
ed white. The Kappa Deltas also
changed the shrubbery of their
yard and plan to build a white
brick wall around their Colonial
Home. During the summer the
Phi Mus have also refurnished
their house.
The Alpha Gamma Delta’s have
had the floors, porch, and furni
ture of their house and have pur
chased a new Baby Grand Piano.
Evangelical Students
Outline Year’s Work
Sororities Hold
Entertainments
On Their Day
BIDS ISSUED ON OCTOBER 4TH
The League of Evangelical Stu
dents, membership in which is de
termined by the interest of the in
dividual, met on Tuesday after
noon, September 25, to outline the
aim and work for the year.
A definite course of Bible Study
and Personal Service is to be con
ducted on this campus by, it is
hoped, Mr. J. P. Spillman of Char
lotte. Mr. Spillman has formerly
conducted the same course in Char
lotte, and is known as an interest
ing and able Bible Student.
The League is a national organ
ization, comparatively new in the
South, but very popular and active
in the North. There is no definite,
specific organization of the na
tional body, but rather the League
is what the individual campus
makes it. The national aim of the
League—the thing by which all
members are united—is to keep in
terested and connected all students
of Orthodox beliefs.
Bettie Wicker is the local presi
dent, filling the place of Emily
Evans, who has transferred to
Wheaton College, Illinois, the na
tional headquarters of the League
of Evangelical Students.
Today ends the National Greek
Sorority rushing on the campus.
Except for the usual day that each
sorority has the rushing this year
has been changed. Last week
Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday
were days of silence. Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday from four
to six o’clock the rushees had dates
with the different sororities, the
time having been set by the Pan-
Hellenic Council. ,
PAN HELLENIC WEEK
The Kappa Deltas entertained
Monday at a luncheon at the Myers
Park Club, a garden party, and a
Colonial dinner served in costumes
at the house. Tuesday the Alpha
Delta Pi’s had a luncheon at their
house and a dinner at the Char
lotte Hotel. The Phi Mus.
The Phi Mus had Open House
in the morning and luncheon at
the house. From there they went
to the Myers Park Club for supper.
Chi Omegas entertained with a
luncheon at the Charlotte Hotel
and a garden party at the home
of Mary Lambeth. Friday the
Alpha Delta Theta had a luncheon
at their house and dinner at the
Myers Park Club. Today the Alpha
Gamma Deltas will have a lunch
eon at the Myers Park Club and
dinner at their house.
BIDS ISSUED
Monday, October 1, each sorority
will hand in to Dr. Elizabeth Blair
a list of girls to whom she wishes
to extend a bid. By Monday after
noon the sponsor shall notify all
girls to whom a bid has been ex
tended. Tuesday will be a day of
silence during which the girls will
decide which bid to accept.
The rushees must have their first
choices, in order of preference, in
Dr. Blair’s office by ten-thirty,
Wednesday morning. Thursday a
formal bid will be extended to the
girls according to the preferential
bidding system.
Day Student House
Named
The Day Students have since
last spring been endeavoring to
change the name of their house.
The feat has at last been accom
plished. Following the suggestion
of Dean Edwards, the Day Stu
dents Council voted to call the
house “The Union.”
Duke and other large and pro
gressive universities have a build
ing known as “The Union.” Such
buildings are the places students
consider particularly theirs, the
places students meet for pleasure.
It is hoped that the entire student
body will co-operate in calling the
Day Student Home “The Union.”
Chapel Attendance
Required
The one definite thing which Dr.
Frazer has requested of the Stu
dent Body is attendance at his
Chapel Services during the first
week of school, no check was made
of chapel attendance, but it was
most apparent that a large num
ber of students were “cutting”
chapel in the face of such a record.
Dr. Frazer has felt it justifiable to
make attendance at chapel compul
sory with penalties being worked
out on a cut system—3 chapel cuts
forcing the student to leave for
one week, thus losing all class cuts
for the year.
The Student Government re
quests that the entire Student Body
co-operate in Chapel attendance in
presence and in spirit.
