VOLUME II. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1920 NUMBER 10
SONG CONTEST CREATES
MUCH ENTHUSIASM
Juniors Come Out Winners
With Freshmen a Close
Second
VOLUNTEERS PRESENT
IMPRESSIVE PAGENT
While Mr. Brown sat back and
beamed, the "singing-bee" came off
with due enthusiasm. Cheerfulness
issued from every corner, even after
the Juniors and Freshmen walked off
with first and second prizes. The
Specials came " 'round the bend and
told their lover good-bye" and then
gave "Boola" with such an excellent
beginning that the other classes fol-lowed
in peppy order.
The Freshman Class made "hash"
out of about fifteen songs, with great
success. The hit they made can't be
told; it has to be heard to be appre-ciated.
They displayed vim and in-terest
that infected even the faculty,
who were patting their feet so hard
they could hardly come to attention
as the medly swung into "Star-Span-gled
Banner."
The Seniors harmonized well on
"Tenting Tonight," and finished up
with "Daniel, Daniel," in fine style.
The Sophomores "pure went after
it" with "Upidee," and their class
song.
Enough has been said about the
Juniors. As the first line declares,
they got the prize. Their blue rib-bon
rooster was "I've Been Working
on the Levee."
Before Christmas Mr. Brown,
whose expectations were more than
realized, wants to have another song
contest. Christmas carols will be the
subjects next time, and the faculty
will possibly have something to offer,
too.

Girls in Costume Appeal for
Christian Workers in
Foreign Fields
Vesper service last Sunday night,
which was conducted by the Student
Volunteers, was a most impressive
service. They gave a pageant vivid-ly
representing the call of foreign
countries to America to send Chris-tianity
to them to lighten their bur-dens
and relieve their sufferings.
Miriam Goodwin represented Chris-tianity,
eager to save humanity;
Mabel Stamper represented America
as ready and willing to spend all her
resources in money and faithful
workers to send Christianity where-ever
it is needed. Other Student
Volunteers, Annie Belle Williams,
Maude Pierce, Sudie Rhodes, Thelma
Wills, Elizabeth McCracken and Rosa
Oliver, presented the call of South
America, Japan, India, Turkey, Ko-rea,
China and Mexico. Their plea
was for America to release them
from the bonds of ignorance and
heathenism, which result in suffering
and oppression. Finally Ruth Teachey
answered the call as the Volunteer
for Christian service, the one real an-swered
to the need. During the whole
pageant, appropriate music helped to
interpret the thoughts.
After the service, all who were
deeply interested in missionary work
were asked to meet with the Student
Volunteers. Quite a number re-sponded.
World Fellowship Week of Prayer
The past week has been observed
as the World Fellowship Week of
Prayer. On Monday, Ruth Teachey
led the prayer service for Australia.
On Tuesday, prayers for America
were led by Annie Belle Williams.
On Wednesday the Bible Classes of-fered
prayers for Asia. Prayers for
Africa were led by Elizabeth Mc-
Cracken Thursday night. Mabel
Stamper had charge of the prayer
service for Europe on Friday night,
and Miriam Goodwin has charge to-night.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held at N. C. C. W.—Called By
Members of Chamber of Commerce—Governor
Bickett the Chief Speaker
DIKEANS ENTERTAIN
THEIR NEW MEMBERS
"The Romancers" Presented
and Hut Dance Given Aft-er
Business Meeting
The new Dikeans were entertained
by the old Dikeans Saturday evening
after the regular meeting, at a play
and "Hut party." Old and new
Dikeans alike voted the entertain-ment
a success.
"The Romancers," a three-act
comedy, rubbed the wrinkles of care
from the faces of the most gloomy
ones, if such there were. Elizabeth
Lindsay, as Sylvette, the heroine, a
charmingly romantic young girl,
fresh from the convent, captured the
hearts of all, but especially that of
Percinet, her handsome and ardent
lover. (In every day life Percinet
is known as Dorothy Clement.)
Branson Price and Anne Cantrell
played the two "daddies," and pro-vided
most of the merriment. The
villain—who was not at all villainous
—was Margaret Heinsberger, dark
and romantic looking, be-mustached
and sworded.
After the play everybody went
down to the Hut and had an informal
good time. Sixteen girls, attractively
dressed as French peasant maids,
gave a lovely little dance. Then
music was provided and everyone
danced. The peasant girls served
punch during the evening.
Dinner-Party Given at Mr. Linde-man's.
The half a dozen or more mem-bers
of Mr. E. C. Lindeman's Social
Psychology class, enjoyed a delight-ful
dinner-party at his home last Sun-day
evening.
Get Pretty, Girls!
The picture man is coming! The
other time he came it was our cam-pus
that he photographed; this time
it will be our faces. So, practice
your sweetest smiles and do your
best to "look pretty" for your An-nual.
DR. FOUST PRESENTS BUDGET
TO THE STATE BUDGET
COMMISSION
Dr. Foust left for Raleigh Wednes-day
to go before the State Budget
Commission and present the budget
of the North Carolina College for
Women. The law has been changed
so that Dr. Foust has to make an
itemized statement of exactly what
we want and what we are going to
do with it during the next two years.
The Budget Committee is composed
of Governor Bickett, R. E. Doughton,
chairman of finance committee of the
House; James A. Gray, chairman
finance committee of Senate; R. S.
McCoin, chairman of apprepriations
committee of House; R. J. Holder-ness,
chairman of appropriations
committee of Senate. The Budget
Committee will make a report before
the next Legislature.
Mildred Barrington, who went
home last week on account of her
mother's illness, returned to the col-lege
Monday.
The membership banquet, given on
November 12th by the Greensboro
Chamber of Commerce at the North
Carolina College, was the setting for
one of the greatest educational meet-ings
ever staged in North Carolina.
Grouped around the tables in the
large dining room were some of
North Carolina's leading citizens, and
fixed deep in their hearts was the
desire to stir the Old North State
from mountain to shore with the
truth about our educational system.
During the evening a delicious din-ner
was served by the members of
the Junior and Sophomore home
economics class.
Gov. Bickett Presents Problem
The president of the Chamber of
Commerce, J. R. Oettinger, presided
and put the meeting through a brief
business session, and then turned the
meeting over to Mr. C. H. Ireland,
who in turn introduced Governor
Bickett. The audience stood and
sang "How Do You Do, Governor
Bickett?" The governor gave statis-tics
to show that "in two and a half
centuries North Carolina has spent
$14,000,000 on college equipment,
and last year on 31 colleges we spent
two-ahd a half millions only, and yet
on the upkeep of automobiles we
spent $20,000,000." He said, "the
peanut crop for one year would pay
the whole college building bill for
250 years."
He spoke of the desperate need for
high schools. "The very minimum
requirement should be at least one
high school in every county in North
Carolina." The child is a ward of
the State and must be so treated."The
command rings clear from the skies
that North Carolina go forward."
R. D. DOUGLAS, OF GREENSBORO
SPEAKS TO STUDENTS OF
N. C. COLLEGE
The Red Cross Roll Call, which
this week has engaged the atten-tion
of the whole country, was
brought before the students of the
College Tuesday by Mr. R. D. Doug-las,
who in a short talk, emphasized
not merely the war services, but
principally the present services of the
Red Cross, and urged the students
to enroll in the organization. After
his talk, President Foust urged one
hundred per cent enrollment on the
part of the faculty and students.
A further appeal was made to the
students at the dinner hour Tuesday
night, when Mr. E. C. Lindeman,
quoting Woodrow Wilson, urged that
the students join the movement to
save their own humanitarian spirits,
if for no other reason.
Carrie Belle and Mary Ross re-turned
to the college Monday night
after a very pleasant stay at home.
J. E. Latham Presents One Means of
Solution
But it was Mr. J. E. Latham who
said the magic word. He said, "Ed-ucation
is a whistle for which no peo-ple
has ever yet paid too dearly." It is
necessary that we have wider oppor-tunities
for higher education in the
South, and its coming in North
Carolina is inevitable. Why not do
it now? We have been too busy
with our own problems that we have
not informed ourselves of hte condi-tion.
I have the following plan to
submit: Go to the people with a
message that has quality and tell
them the truth and 'nothing but the
truth.' "This message can best be
delivered to every person by skillful
advertising. "It pays to advertise."
"But advertising costs money. My
plan is to raise enough money, say
$25,000, and spend this money in
lectures and by advertising and by
public meetings. Let the people know
