November 7, 1941 QUEENS BLUES Page 3 English Girl Editorialist VOICES OPINIONS Impersonates ' of America Y. D. RoOSeVelt Olympian Circle Sends Three Delegates to Regional Meeting Queens is lucky this year to have two English girls in its student body. They are Pat Stoyle and Jill Webb. This week we’re interviewing Pat with a few questions, and next week we will feature Jill’s answers to these same questions. Pat is a freshman day student at Queens. She has lived in Charlotte approximately a year with cousins of family friends. East Africa is her real home, and she attended school in London before coming to the United States. In answer to the following ques tions, Pat gives us her outlook on America and the current of former world events. Q. What do you think of American schools as compared to English schools? A. English schools are much hard er and stricter, but you can have more fun in an American school. In the English schools there are only girls; and if you are a boarder, they are very strict about dating. Q. All in all, do you prefer Amer ican or English boys? A. It would not be fair to general ize the boys. There are some Amer ican boys I like better than English boys and vice versa. Q. What do you think will be the outcome of World War II? A. I think, without a doubt, that England will be victorious and Ger many will be suppressed, but there will be much suffering first. Q. Were you in England during the war? A. For a year and two months, but there were only four months of bomb ing. Yet I was very close to the fall of the European countries. Q. Is the United States what you expected from movies and other peo ple? A. Not what I expected from movies, but it is very much as my American friends pictured it. Q. Do you consider the United States a friendly country? A. Yes, I think it is very friend ly, especially at first; but it is dif ferent from England in that it is very, very friendly at first, and then it dies down a little; but in England it is the other way round. Q. What in American life or habits has proved most interesting to you? A. The continual chewing of gum —a habit which, incidentally, I have picked up. Q. What is your opinion of the Duke of Windsor-Simpson affair? A. I thought the Duke of Windsor was a grand person with leadership qualities, but Mrs. Simpson would not have been a suitable queen of England. A young American spin ster would have been approved of, but a woman who has been married four times is not a very good figure head. English people used to say that if they had the privilege of shooting two people they would shoot Hitler first and Wally Simpson second. Q. What is your opinion of Ameri can “jitterbugging?” A. I just love it, and the sooner it is established in England the better I’ll like it. Q. What do you think is the great est fault among our American young people? A. I don’t believe you have any more faults than we do in England, and I don’t think I ought to start writing a list as long as that would be. Q. Who is your favorite American movie hero? A. Gary Cooper. Q. What is your favorite American dish? A. Fried chicken. Q. Do you have slang in England too? A. Yes, we have quite a bit, though probably not as much as there is over here; but you have lots less slang than I expected. Slang up north is ten times worse than down here. Q. Have you ever lived in another section of the United States? A. No, but I stayed in New York a couple of days. —Patsy Scoggin. In chapel Friday morning, October 31, Stuart Rabb, editorial writer for the Charlotte News and a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina, was sponsored by Iota Xi sorority in a very unusual talk. Ann Mauldin, president of the organiza tion, introduced Mr. Rabb. After the introduction, Mr. Rabb said that he realized now why he had been asked to talk on that particular day—it was Hallowe’en. He carried his -talk on in a mountain dialect which is not the young man’s natural accent, but he talked with such a convincing manner that many of the students were fooled. In his talk Mr. Rabb gave an impersonation of President Roose velt’s recent speech. The impersona tion was excellent and was loudly applauded. He also told us to get down to brass tacks in newspaper work. Iota Xi, the sorority which spon sored Mr. Rabb, is the journalistic organization on Queens campus. The members are: President, Ann Maul din ; secretary, Elizabeth Summer ville ; Miss Laura Tillett, Elizabeth Isaacs and Ann Golden.

Plans and ideas to help eliminate the less important and less active organizations were dis cussed. » The third topic was training leaders, led by the Joan Circle of Farmville State Teachers College, Virginia.
