MISS JAMISON SPONSOR
Wants Girla to -Hare Fun and at Same
Time Realize Their Responsi-bilities
aa CItl
By this time every girl on the campus
haa probably heard of, directly or indi-rectly,.
Miss Jamison's plans for Satur-day
nights. She calls it a fifty-fifty
plan, and in thinking it out and bring-ing
it to a certain extent to realization,
it is the pleasure, enjoyment, and devel-opment
towards what is best for the
student body, its welfare and interests,
that she has at heart.
The idea, or the beginnings of the
ideas, came to Miss Jamison during the
Christmas party in the dining room on
the Saturday night before the beginning
of Christmas holidays. Everyone
seemed so happy, and looked so pretty,
dressed in evening dresses that she
wanted to help make every Saturday
night a time of fun, of relaxation, and
enjoyment—a time when all could for
get the troubles and work of the past
week and the coming week, learn to
know more of one another, and really
have a good time.
Along with her plan for fun, and con-nected
with it, she wants to help the
girls realize their duties and responsi-bilities
as citizens of the college com-munity;
to help them develop interest
and pride in the appearance of the
campus; and to develop a willingness to
cooperate with officials of the college
and the tax payers of the state by try-ing
to be less wasteful in the use of
water, heat, and electricity.
Her plan, as she has put it before
the students, is that the students shall
try to be more economical by turning
off the heat when the windows are
raised, cutting off the lights when out
of the room, by avoiding useless run-ning
of water, and -reducing expenses
in many other ways. The money for
heat, light, water, food, and the upkeep
of the campus must all come out of the
budget for the year, and if any of that
money can be saved along any or all
of these lines, it can be used for better
food, more flowers for the campus, or
any other improvement.
Dr. Foust has said that probably $30,-
000 would have been saved if such econ-omy
had been observed daring January
and February. When students willfully
or carelessly waste heat, lights, and
water, they are not only wasting the
money of the tax-payers of N. C, but
are also depriving themselves of a great
deal of money, that eould be used for
pleasure and benefit—if they woald

MUSICAL PROGRAM
• ■ ■
Freshman Talent Entertains
Class For Hour Thursday.
Enjoyable Program
GIRLS WELL RECEIVED
A most enjoyable musical program
wag presented at freshman Chapel on
Thursday, February 17th, in the Au-ditorium.
This program, entirely of
freshman talent, proved that this class
is well capable of drawing good en-tertainment
from its own members,
unaided by outsiders.
The first number was "Fiddle and I,"
sung by Lorna Mae Wilson, who was
accompanied by Charlotte Van Nop-pen
with the violin and Margaret Hood
at the piano. Probably the most pop-ular
number presented was "Spring
Song," whistled by Sue Underbill, pres-ident
of the class.
The third presentation was a violin
solo, "To a Wild Rose," played by Mil-dred
Brown, who was accompanied by
Margaret Hood. "Characteristic
Piece," a piano solo by Margaret Me-
Connell, which was the final number,
was the most ably presented part of
the program.

Mrs. MacDowell, wife of the great

The program heretofore has been
made up entirely of MacDowell's com-positions,
and we judge that it will be
the same this year. Mrs. MacDowell is
able to give a rather authoritative inter-pretation
of her husband's pieces.
All music students are requested and
urged to attend the concert. It will be
worth while and very entertaining. Ad-mission
for students will be 75 cents.

GERMAN CLUB RENDERS
GOOD MUSICAL PROGRAM
First Year Class Gives Beat Rendition
With "Mignon"—Others Give Their
Numbers Very Well
"Pottery and the Potter" was the
subject of an interesting discussion by
Dr. Charles F. Myers of the First Pres-byterian
Church at vesper hour last
Sunday. Miss Margaret Shepard led
the devotlonals. Before the service
Doris Branch played several piano se-lections,
and two hymns were sung.
The main thought of Dr. Myers' talk
was the power of God to remake lives
which have once been marred He
said, in opening, that a life may be
marred by three things; the worldly,
the flesh, and the devil. _"And when
a life is marred," he continued, "the
fact Is written on the face of the in-dividual.
One does not have to tell the
world how he has lived. We a_re," Dr.
Myers said, "marred quietly and quick-ly.
We lose the finest things over-night."
He went on to say that one of
the saddest things in the world is In-tellectual
greatness and spiritual pau-city.
In offering suggestions as to how one
might avoid the marring of his Hfe,
Dr. Myers compared our spiritual with
our social lives. "To keep friend-ships,"
the speaker said, "repair them.
Friends get out of touch with one
another when they do not have com-mon
interests. The same," he said,
"is true of spiritual life. One must
keep In touch with God, the Potter, if
he wishes to live his spiritual life to
its fullest capacity. It is He who can
take the old, marred material and
make of it a new vessel."

At the unveiling of the portrait of
Mrs. Sallle Southall Cotten given to
Cotten dormitory by Mr. Robert Cot-ten,
a request was made by Mrs. Cot-ten
that a fund be established for por-traits
of women for whom dormitories
are named. A fund for a portrait of
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was begun
that afternoon1. Miss Elliot was made
chairman of this establishment. Mrs.
Gotten, Dr. Foust, and Miss Mary Hen-derson,
of Salisbury, were the first to
make contributions.
The German Club bald a very inter-esting
musical program last Thursday
night in the. Dikean hall. The program
opened with the singing of "Freut euch
des' Lebens" by the entire club. Next
a song oontest was held between the dif-ferent
German classes. The third year
class sang "Mignon," the second year
class "Der gute Kamerad," and the first
year, "Heidenroeslin." It was generally
conceded that the first year class sang
best. The next number was the "Pil-grim's
Chorus" by Wagner, sung hy
the entire club. A German conversation
game, which proved,very amusing, was
played after which the entire club sang
"Die Lorelei" as the closing song.

Mrs. W. L. Canfleld to Speak
Announcement has been made to the

of this city will be the vespers speaker
Sunday night
Those who attended the first session
of the annual spring discussion groups
Wednesday night are quite enthusiastic
over the fact that they have begun.
The discussions have been planned to
cover subjects indicated by the students
as being of most interest to them in
signing Y. W. cards last fall.
Four groups will be held each Wed-nesday
night, and the discussions cen-ter
around four subjects which are of
vital interest to student life of today.
Dr. Kephart is conducting a discussion
on «<The College Girl and Her Com-munity,"
while Mr. Keister is consider-ing
with his group "The Christianiza-tion
of Industry." Miss Proffer is dis-cussing
"Problems of the Pacific Coun-tries
From Christ's Point of View."
Another subject which will perhaps be
of interest to many of the students is
"Personal Religious Problems." This
group was, on Wednesday, led by Miss
Shepard, but there will be different
speakers to lead each of the remaining
discussions.
Although it is preferable that stu-dents
attend each meeting, the groups
are still open for new members and it
is hoped that many more will join in
the discussions next Wednesday night.

Interesting Story Connected With Num-ber
on Program, "Vienna Carnival
Scenes," by Schumann
In the first basketball game of the
season, Thursday, February 17, the
seniors won from the freshmen with a
score of 33 to 25. The freshman class
has a good team, the forwards being
especially active.
Immediately at the sounding of the
whistle in the game Thursday afternoon
the ball traversed the freshman terri-tory
but was even more quickly return
ed toward senior goal and was caged
by Rosa Meredith. The game was a
fast one during the first half and at
the end of the half it looked as if the
freshmen would make an even finer
showing.
In the second half, however, the
seniors took the whole floor, Meredith
scoring 15 times successively. Among
the seniors, Rosa Meredith merits es-pecial
mention for remarkable accuracy
of aim, and Rula Doud for good work at
center. The freshmen displayed un
usually pretty pass work as did also
the seniors. Bertha Pate, freshman
forward, is exceptionally good at cag-ing
the balls, having almost taken
charge of her territory.

Miss Mary Lois* Ferrell of the Music

Friday, February 25 at 12:15 in the Re-cital
Hall of the Music Building.
The program follows:
Pastoral Variee, Mozart.
Faschings schwank ana Wien (Vienna
Carnival Scenes)—Schumann.
An interesting feature of this number
is the melody of the Marseillaise (then
legally prohibited in Vienna) which ap-pears
in a somewhat disguised form. It
was one of Schumann's standing jokes,
that the theme of the Marseillaise as
here presented had succeeded in evad-ing
the watchful eye of the police.
Nocturne in B minor; Prelude in F;
Prelude in G Minor, Chopin.
Ballade No. 2, in B minor, Lisut.
Mason and Hamilton piano used.
Both the Juniof and Senior French
clubs held initiation fbr new members
last Thursday night in the Aletheian
hall and club room. About forty new
members were taken into the Junior
club. These initiates are students who
made a 1 or 2 in French 3 last semester.
A very clever program was given by
the new members who arranged all the
numbers themselves.
The first number on the program was
a French wedding, consisting of three
parts: the civil ceremony, the religious
ceremony in the church, and the wed-ding
feast that follows. The next num,-
ber was a clever dialogue in French
entitled "Christmas Gifts." Following
this was a song and dance, "Sur le Pont
d'Avignon" by four couples. The last
number was a French cabaret scene.
Eugenia Sessoms, president of the
Junior French club, announced the pro-gram
and made a short welcome address
to the new members.
At the same time the Senior Freneh
club held initiation for three new mem-bers:
Blanche Wade, Justiona Mc-
Rimmon, and Louise Dalton. The offi-cers'of
the club were dressed in white
with red, white, and blue regalia. Dr.
M. K. Hooke, of the French depart-ment
who has recently returned from
two years study abroad, spoke of some
of his experiences in Paris. Eatherine
Gregory, president of the Senior club,
thanked the Club for sending her as a
delegate to the Alliance Franeais that
met in Atlanta recently.
After the initiations the two clubs
joined in a Mardi Gras festival. An
orchestra furnished music for dancing
and refreshments were served. A group
of students from M. Hardre's class,
directed by Mary Clara Tate, sang sev-eral
French songs. Ruth Bellamy gave
a group of songs, as might have been
sung by famous men, accompanying
herself on the. ukelele. Those in charge
of the Mardi Gras were Eugenia Ses-soms,
Keith Feamster, Mary Elisabeth
Smith, Katharine Tighe, and Rebecca
Smith.
The class of '29 went down before
'28, Monday, defeated by a score of
44 to 20 In a game which promised In
the first half to be a close, hand to
hand fight, but which proved in the
seconfi half tot be a cinch for the
juniors.
Christine Unfair, true to her previ-ously
established form, gave the ball
the first tap at center, and there en-sued
an active skirmish in center ter-ritory
typical of the whole first half.
The first goal was caged by Brown
in the prettiest play of the game. The
sophomore centers, Edwards and Long,
displayed splendid form, but were
easily out-matched by HutatT and
Webb, junior miters. The score stood
18 to 14 In favor of the juniors at the
end of the first; half.
In the second half, the sophomores
lost ground rapidly, Hanklns sacrific-ing,
because of the close and efficient
guarding of Kearns, her reputation of
Saturday afternoon. Both Kearns and
Bule, In fact, were close custodians.
Brown played her old game—smooth,
steady, and accurate; Johnson showed

The sophomores won from the fresh-men
Saturday afternoon to the tune
of 30 to 17 in an interesting basketball
game. The freshmen played a prac-tically
new line-up and did not make as
good a showing as in the game on
Thursday.
The freshmen took the lead in having
caged the first ball, but the sophomores
soon gained on them. The first half
of the game was marked by fouls on
both sides, but particularly on the
freshmen.
At the end of the first quarter, Pate
was called in place of Todd, freshman
forwurd, who had sprained a knee. The
class of '30 team picked up immediate-ly,
Tnit lost ground in the second half
because of the remarkable shooting of
Grace Hanklns, who controlled sopho-more
territory, rarely missing a basket.

The spirit of brotherhood and whole-heartedness
