ARE PROMINENT LEADERS

Work and in Other Campus
Activities
At the regular society meetings
Saturday night society presidents for
the coming year were elected. The
Adelphians chose Luzon Wiley, of
Charlotte, the Cornelians, Margaret
Martin, of Charlotte, and the Di-keans,
Gladys Sims, of Shelby. Each
of the girls is capable and is pe-culiarly
fitted for the office to
which she has been elected.
Miss Wiley is expected to make an
excellent leader for the Adelphians
both from experience and natural
ability. She has been widely popu-lar
throughout her three years here
and is at present one of the Junior
marshals from the Adelphian So-ciety,
of which she has been an act-ive
and- interested member. How-ever,
her ability has run in other
channels and she has served in her
class as well as in college activities.
During her Sophomore year she was
president of the present Junior class
for the last half. She also served
on the staff of the "Pine Needles"
last year as assistant business man-ager.
Since Miss Martin entered college
in 1920 she has been intensely inter-ested
in all the work of the Cor-nelian
Society, and has proved her-self
to be one of its most efficient,
as well as one of its most popular,
members. Last year she was honor-ed
by the society when she was
elected to serve as vice-president
during her Junior year. During the
spring, of her Freshman year, Miss
Martin was president of her class.
Besides being vice-president of the
Cornelian Society this year, she has
been a member of the House of Rep-
IRMA SADLER IS
CORADDI EDITOR
Students Elect Her to Edit College
Magazine
CORADDI OLDEST PUBLICATION
Was Founded in 1897 by Literary
Societies—Freshman Number to
Appear Soon
Irma Sadler, of Greensboro, was
chosen by the student body, Tuesday
evening, to head the 1923-24 Corad-di.
She served on the college news-paper
during her Sophomore year
and the college magazine, the Corad-di,
during her Junior year. She has
also been a member of the house of
representatives from her class.
Miss Sadler, when she attended
the Greensboro High School, was well
known for her ability to write, and
this ability has been displayed and
developed during her college years.
Besides literary ability she has the
force and energy necessary to lead
the Coraddi thorugh a successful
year.
The magazine is the oldest college
publication, the first issue being
dated March 15, 1897. It was then
published quarterly from October to
June by a board of editors elected
from the Adelphian and Cornelian
Literary Societies under the direction
of a Managing Editor chosen from
the fcaulty. It is of interest to note
that Miss Mary M. Petty, who is now
instructor in chemistry, was the first
Managing Editor of what was then
called "The State Normal Magazine."
This first publication served as a
magazine and paper combined. It
was "established to bring ourselves
and the college into closer touch and
sympathy with the hearts of our
people, to plead for a broader field
of usefulness for the daughters of
the State and in some degree, at
least, to quicken and stimulate the
already awakening ideas upon the
subject of higher education for the

14,051 MILES COVERED
BY HIKERSOF N. C. C.
Hiking Has Been Most Popular
Sport at College During Fall
Term
Hiking has, during the past fall
and winter, been one of the most
popular sports with the girls of the
college. At present every afternoon
unless the weather absolutely forbids
groups of girls numbering together
from twenty to fifty leave the col-lege
campus at 5 o'clock to return
around the hour of six after a hike
of four or five miles. On Wednes-day,
Thursday and Saturday after
a hike of ten or twelve miles is
scheduled under the supervision of
the Physical Education Department.
Thus far during the year there
have been two overnight camping
trips with a third scheduled for this
week. There are now about forty
girls who have hiked the required
fifty miles and are ready for a
camping trip. Besides this there are
six girls who have hiked over a hun-dred
miles, 6 over 150,1 over 200,2
over 250 and 2 over 300 miles dur-ing
this year. Beulah McKenzie
holds the record as having hiked the
greatest number of miles. She has
totaled thus far 333 miles this year.
Mary L. Carr runs her a close see-on
dwith 223 miles. Others ap-proaching
these marks are Essie Mae
Keziah with 283, Helen Braswell
with 282, Speck Stout with 241,
Elizabeth Brooks with 211 and Nelle
McSwain with 178.
During the year 450 girls have
hiked any where from five miles to
the record 833. If one girl were to
hvae hiked all of the college's mileage
she would have crossed the United
States almost six times or completed
more than one-half of the circling of
the globe. The girls have hiked
14,061 miles.

ADELPHIANS WITNESS
TWO ONE-ACT PLAYS
"The Twelve Pound Look" and "The
Will-of-the-WUp" are Presented
by the Dramatic Club
The program presented to the
Adelphian Society on Saturday night
immediately after the business meet-ing
consisted of two plays and two
stunts presented by the Dramatic
Club of the Society.
The first of the plays was. the
"Twelve Pound Look." This is a
popular one-act play. The leading
character, "Sir" Harry Sims, is the
typical business man, whose success
has "gone to his head" so to speak.
The part of Sims was well taken by
Annie Mae Epstein. The divorced
Mrs. Sims, now a typist, proud of her
ability to make her own living, was
unusually well played by Helen Hall.
She interpreted the part of the wo-man
unwilling to be the slave of an
egotistical husband with real dramat-ic
ability. The role of Lady Sims
was well taken by Meredith Mc Cul-lers.
Mozelle Owen was the butler.
The second play of the evening
was "The Will-of-the-Wisp." Super-stition
in the call of the moors and
tile will-of-the-wisp are the themes
of this play which leaves behind a
touch of shivery horror. Dorothy
Jordan, as the dumb waif and the
will-of-the-wisp, played her part
with an ability that made the aud-ience
shiver and held them tense
with terror. . The part of the poor
woman was taken by Agnes Reeks,
that of the poet's wife, who follows
the wisp over the cliff, by Margaret
Bell, and the Irish maid by Clara
Foscue.
The stunt circle of the Dramatic
Club gave two short and amusing
stunts called "Maid One" and
"Martyred Advertisements." Both
of these were well acted.
Nancy Wright, of Black Mountain,
N. C, was elected Tuesday evening
Editor-in-Chief of next year's "Pine
Needles." Miss Wright's attractive
personality, her artistic and execu-tive
ability, have been so prominent
as to counter-balance the fact that
she entered N. C. C. W. in her
Junior year. She formerly attended
Shorter College at Rome, Ga. While
there she was prominent in newspa-per
and athletic and other activities.
During this year she has been an
outstanding and popular member of
the Junior Class.
The 1923 "Pine Needles" is to be
the eleventh N. C. C. W. annual. The
first annual appeared in 1899 and
si x others were issued between that
time and 1914 when publication of
a college annual was suspended until
after the war. Four annuals have
been gotten out since the Armistice.
During this time the name of the
annual was changed from "The Caro-linian"
to the "Pine Needles," and
recently the publication of the an-nual
has been taken over by the Stu-dent
Government. It was formerly
in the hands of the Seniors. The
"Pine Needles" serves as a summar-ization
of the year's work, especially
along non-academic lines and as a
valuable souvenir of the student's
college days.
Miss Wright succeeds Augusta
Sapp, who has been successful in
publishing the 1923 annual which
was sent to press as early as March
the first.

MAUDE ROYDEN SPEAKS TO
LARGE ASHEVILLE AUDIENCE
"Woman of medium height whose
features are somewhat sharp and
whose hair is strongly streaked with
grey and whose personality is most
winsome, was sufficient magnetic
capability to attract one of the larg-est
crowds eve rseen in the Asheville
Auditorium when a capacity house
greeted Miss Maude Royden at her
lecture last night on 'Can We Set
the World in Order?'" states the
Asheville Citizen. Eager hundreds
were turned away.
When Miss Royden was presented
the great crowd rose and gave her
an ovation. She was brought to
Ashville under the auspices of the
Business and Professional Women's
Club.
Miss Royden wore a bouquet which
had been sent her by a group of
British soldiers now in Asheville.
She abandoned the clerical attire
which she wore when she spoke be-fore
the N. C. C. girls, for a more
feminine dinner gown.

Ina Mae Leroy was chosen to be
next year's president of the Athletic
Association by the members of the
Association Tuesday evening. Pep
and ability-to-put-things-across have
marked all of Miss Leroy's college
activities so far and the Association
is certain that she will make a suc-cessful
leader of the greater asso-ciation
which will come with better
atMyjc equipment provided for by
the appropriation this year. Miss
Leroy has been prominent in varied
phases of campus activity. She has
been an officer of the Dikean So-ciety,
a member of the Y. W. C. A.
Cabinet, the Athletic Association
Cabinet, the House of Represen-tatives,
the College Dramatic Club, of.
which she is now secretary, of sev-eral
class teams, and prominent in
her class.
The Athletic Association plays a
vital part in college life. It has as
its purpose the physical improvement
of the student. A great deal of in-terest
and enthusiasm has been
shown in athletics in recent years
and many of the girls are working
to attain honors, monograms and the
like, from the Association.

DR. W. C. SMITH CONDUCTS
DEVOTIONAL AT CHAPEL
At chapel on Monday Dr. Smith
read and discussed the story of
Absolam's death, saying that he con-sidered
it the best short story in the
English language today. There are
many titles applied to this story, per-haps
the most significant of which
is "The Lost Son." The story be-gins
with the declaration of war be-tween
King David and Absolam and
ends with the pathetic cry of the old
King.
Freshmen Defeat Sophomores in
Basketball With a Score of 84-12
On Wednesday afternoon in the
first game of the basketball tourna-ment
the Freshmen defeated the sec-ond
year men with a score of 84-12.
The game was characterized
throughout by wild, rough playing on
the part of both teams. The goals
shot during the first were very
spectacular, especially those of
Stinette, of the first year men. How-ever,
those attempted during the last
were wild shots that seldom scored.
Both technical and personal fouls
were frequent on both teams.
Stinette, of the Freshmen, was
easily the star of the game—though
at times her playing was rough and
her attempts wild. Stone, her run-ning
mate, also did good work, being
surer in her shots. Tate and Brandis
were probably the best of the Soph-omore.
The second year team were very
unfortunate in finding at the last
minute that their forwards,
and Meredith, were to be unable to
play on account of reclassification
and it was necessary to change Rob-erson
from guard to forward and
place Eubanka in as her mate. It
also necessitated changing Crosby
from center to guard and putting
' Woltz in her position.
The line-ups were as follows:
Freshman:
E. Stone—L. Forward.
D. Stinette—R. Forward.
G. Kirkpatrick—J. Center.
B. Gibson—S. Center.
E. Cate—R. Guard.
L. Mooney—L. Guard.
Sophomore:
S. Roberson—R. Forward.
M. Eubanks—L. Forward.
L. Tate—J. Center.
E. Woltz—S. Center.
M. H. Crosby—L. Guard.
F. Brandis—R. Guard.
Box Score:
Sophomores—Field Goals: Rober-son
2, Eubanks 3; Four Goals, Rob-erson
1 out of 1, and Eubanks 1 out
of 3. »
Freshmen—Field Goals, Stinette
8 and Stone 7; Foul Goals, Stinette
2 out of 9, and Stone 2 out of 3.
Substitutions:
Freshmen—Gaylor for Gibson;
Adams for Cate.
Sophomores—Dill for Crosby;
Crosby for Brandis.
Officials:
Referee—Campbell.
Umpire—Rogers.
Time Keeper—Francis.
On Friday afternoon the Juniors
took the second game of the basket-ball
tournament from the Seniors
with a score of 53-11.
The third year men played in their
usual manner, using the short quick
passes, sure shots, and well-ordered
team work that always works to such
advantage in their play. Powell as
the right forward played a game
that was sure, swift and graceful.
Reid ably seconded her as her run-ning
mate. In the center LeRoy
and Woody worked well, not only
in their own territory but in passing
the ball from guards forward to
their goalmen. Roberts and Hunt
successfully broke up a great num-ber
of plays of the Seniors. Of the
whole team it may be said that they
were strong individual players, work-ing
well as a single machine. Powell,
Woody and Roberts are original
members of the combination that has
for three years so successfully met
all comers.
Humphrey, right guard, of the
fourth year men, starred for her
team in her playing a game both fast
and strong. As guard of one of the
strongest forwards of the college she
displayed her great ability, in pre-venting
a greater number of scor-ing
by her opponents. Goodman
made a good fellow guard. Hill and

"TRYSTING PLACE" IS
PRESENTED BY DIKEANS
Lenore Stone Directs All Star Cast
in Booth Tarkington's Charming
Play
Saturday night a section of the
Dikean Dramatic Club under the di-rection
of Lenore Stone, presented
Booth Tarkington's play, The Tryst-ing
Place. The cast was all-star.
Lancelot Briggs—Ruth English.
Mrs. Curtis—Dorothy McNair.
Rupert Hughes—Lois Burt.
Jessie Briggs—Frances Harrison.
Mr. Ingoldsby—Gladys Sims.
Mysterious Voice—Claude Aycock.
The property managers were
Francis Brandis and Edith Temple-ton.
The scene of the play was a fash-ionable
hotel in which three couples,
closely related, unwittingly chose the
same corner in which to woo and
tell their love secrets. Disturbed in
their privacy they attempted to con-ceal
themselves, and in their con-cealment
heard the wooing of the
other couples. The first couple was
Lancelot Briggs, a young man com-pletely
dominated by his family, and
Mrs. Curtis, a beautiful and dashing
widow. The second couple was Ru-pert
Smith, a suitor received with
disfavor by the mother, and Jessie
Briggs a much-in-love young daugh-ter.
The third couple was the moth-er
herself, Mrs. Briggs, and Mr.
Ingoldsby, her girlhood sweetheart
In the end each couple knew so
much about the others that no couple
dared oppose what another couple
wanted to do. One of the amusing
situations was the one in which
Lancelot Briggs, the young woship-per
of the widow, was deserted by
her for a lover who had been wait-ing
all the time for her in the chair
in the corner. This lover had been
Mysterious Voice of the play who
had at various times interfered with
the wooing.
Lenore Stone, as coach of the
play, deserves much credit for its
success.
At a mass meeting Wednesday
night Lena Smith, of Mullins, S. C,
was elected by an overwhelming ma-jority
to be editor of the Carolinian
for next year. Miss Smith has taken
a prominent part in athletics ever
since her Freshman year when she
played on her class hockey team. She
is at present Track sport leader. She
is a member of the Cornelian Liter-ary
Society, in the work of which she
has taken an active part. Miss
Smith is a girl of striking and
charming personality and is an en-thusiastic
and tireless worker. Her
executive ability and enthusiasm are
expected to carry the Carolinian
through a successfully constructive
year.
The newspaper was first published
in 1919 with Florence Miller aa edi-tor-
in-chief. 'It was organized a
year earlier than this, but due to
some war-time measure prohibiting
the issuing of new publications; it
could not be printed. Previous to
this time the magazine had carried
some articles in the nature of news,
but the paper was organized to meet
the needs of the growing college for
a separate weekly publication.
In the past four years the Caro-linian
has grown rapidly from a very
small paper to one of the leading
Southern college weeklies. Besides
Miss Miller, Anne Fulton, Anne
Cantrell, and Nell Craig have,been
the editors of the paper. This year
the paper was changed from a six
page five-column paper to one of
four pages six columns, giving it
more the appearance of a commercial
journal. Besides the local subscrip-tions
the Carolinian is sent by the
college to the accredited high schools
of the state and to leading Alumnae.
The Carolinian is the official or-

CORNELIAN SOCIETY
ADOPTS NEW PLANS
Plans Provide for Two Preliminaries
in Choosing Debaters for Neat
Year
In order that the most efficient
students may be selected to debate
next fall against the winning debat-ing
team of this spring, and that
the students most interested in de-bating
may be given an opportunity
to try out for the honor, the Cor-nelian
Society last Saturday night
adopted a new plan for selecting de-baters,
a plan entirely different
from the plan used in former years.
There will be two preliminaries.
The first of these will be held in
three weeks. It will be held in the
Public Speaking Department of the
society, and may be entered by any
member of the Cornelian Society
who desires to enter. The six stu-dents
in this contest whom the
judges consider best will again de-bate,
the next time before the en-tire
society. From these students
two debaters and two substitutes will
be chosen to uphold the society's
side of the question: "Resolved, that
the United States should abolish the
electoral college system," against the
winning society" team this spring.
By the use of this method, the so-ciety
can make no mistake in select-ing
its debaters for next fall. Tha
students chosen after the' prelimin-aries
will be the students with the
greatest oratorical ability, and the
society will be given the opportunity
of hearing them debate before they
are elected.
