The Athletic Association started
the new year promisingly with a
meeting of the cabinet Friday. This
was the first time that the cabinet
has held a meeting in the recently
constructed Physical Education build-ing,
r
Hockey and soccer formed the
main part ej*>the discussion, for these
sports occupy the attention of the
students Airing the fall. The plans
for hockey submitted by Gwendolyn
Hampton, the college hockey leader,
were adopted by the cabinet. They
aye slightly different from last year,
for this year the Round Robin system
will be used. This system was used
hist year in basketball and baseball
and proy$d to be . satisfactory. It
provides for' a game between every
class, each first team playing all the
Other first teams; each second team,
likewise, will play every other sec-ond
team.
.... Because of the number of games
Accessary to decide the hockey cham-pions
the elimination system will.be
used for soccer. Soccer was a mid-winter
sport last year, but this year,
since the new athletic field is ready
for use, it is a fall sport and runs
parallel with hockey. The schedule
for hockey and soccer.is, so arranged
tyat the class practices for these
sports do not conflict. ' This enables
iigirl to go out for both hockey and
soccer at the same time.

president, told the cabinet about the
plans for the college camp. On ac-count
of lack of funds, work will not

There is a great deal of difference
in the wC\>raddi"' of today and the
first Coraddi which was published in
March, 1896. The articles were writ-ten
mostly by the faculty but there
were occasional contributions made
by the students.
Some outstanding contributions
made by the students in the first
copy were "The County Fair," a daz-zling
panorama of the state's chief
resources and industries and a splen-did
object lesson in the state's his-tory
given in honor "of the visiting
committee of the legislature.
The editorials contained a copy of
the petition which induced the state
legislature to make a radical change
in the name of this institution, call-ing
it the State Normal and Indus-trial
College instead of the State Nor-mal
and Industrial School. It also
stated that the appropriations from
the state had been changed to
$26,000.
There were other short articles and
a section containing the school news.
In the article concerning the Junior-
Senior reception it was stated that
the Juniors hoped that this occasion
would become a custom. Personals,
news of class organizations, alum-nae
news, several poems, jokes and
literary notes were also given. In
short, the Coraddi then contained
very little literature. The main pur-pose
of it was to give information.
Today the college magazine tries
)
to be an all round magazine; that
is, it contains literary attempts,
articles, book reviews, a humorous
department and editorials.
It may be interesting to note the
significance of the name, Coraddi.
It represents the three oldest liter-ary
societies, the Aletheian Society
not having beeh formed at the time
the name was chosen. "Cor" signi-fies
the Cornelian Society, "ad," the
Adelphian Society, and "di," the
Dikean Society.
The plans of the Coraddi for the
year '25-'26 are very promising. The
magazine* is expected to be the very
best that has been put out. As cus-tomary
it will come out four times a
year, the first copy of which will be
issued the latter part of October.
The editors who were elected last
spring by the student body at large
are as follows:
Editor-inChief - Julia Blauvelt,
Asheville.
Assistant Editor . - Nancy Little,
Greensboro.
Associate Editors:
Inez Landon, North Wilkesbord.

'i The hockey and soccer seasons
Opened Monday, bringing with them
class practices and, eventually, tour-nament
games. This year promises
some ex&ting games, for there Is
ljiuch friendly rivalry among the
classes, each of which has promising
material for a good team,
fj Since soccer is a minor sport, it
jjill not take the place of hockey,
but will be played by those who pre-fer
it to hockey and by those ambi-tious
ones who want to play both
Hockey and soccer. Soccer is prac-tically
a new sport, being played for
the firstitime last year as a mid-win-tor
sport. Those who went out for
soccer then remember how difficult
it was "to stand up on the icy ground
and to run in the mud. However,
since it is a fall sport this year, the
former danger will be practically
averted.
I The schedule for hockey and soc-cer,
which is given below, is so ar-ranged
that the class practices in
both sports do not conflict. Soccer
will be played on the old hockey
field this yeas, while the new athletic
field will be uBed exclusively for
hockey.

The hiking leaders were called to-gether
Saturday for a conference
with Miss Coleman. Several recom-mendations,
were made. Girls must
conduct themselves properly and
wear neat and appropriate costumes
when hiking. We are asked not to
wear white or soiled knickers and to
see that they are not too tight. Only
cotton or woolen hose should be worn
with hiking shoes. -
Last week several motley costumes
were seen on parade down Spring
Garden street. One girl wore pink
silk hose, high heeled slippers and
soiled khaki knickers—one leg up
and the other down. Another cos-tume
was white knickers and a crepe
de chine blouse. We are urged to
be careful of the reflection we cast
upon ourselves and upon our college.
A sport blouse, tweed knickers, low
heeled oxfords and lisle hose make up
a costume that may well be worn on
any hiking trip where appearance
counts.
Hiking leaders are asked to let no
girl hike who is improperly dressed.
If hikers continue to abuse the privi-lege
of wearing knickers Miss Cole-man
or Mrs. Durand will forbid their
Wearing knickers at any time.
After this discussion of costumes
Emily Cates told the hiking leaders
about the new camp. Every one who
hikes 60 miles is entitled to a week-end
camping trip. A log house on
the college farm is being fitted up
to accommodate about 12 campers.
The house is on a hill above a creek
and is near the reservoir. There are
plenty of woods all around and inter-esting
cross-country hikes are wait-ing
to be taken. Soon camping
parties will go out every week-end.
The first group to go will be ■ the
Athletic cabinet, then the girls who
have camping trips due from last
year.
Much complaint was made about
the crowded condition of the high-ways.
Miss Ooleman suggested the
purchase of several pedometers for
the use of hiking leaders to mark
out new cross-country hikes. She
recommended the exploration of the
Chapel services Monday and Tues-day
were under the supervision of
Dr. Brown, dean of the School of
Music. Under Dr. Brown's direction
several of the hymns from the new
hymn'book usually sung in chapel'
were sung correctly.
Dr. Brown explained that the choir
was only to lead the singing, that
the students were to begin singing
in the middle of the s-scond stanza
of the processional nnd were to sing
only the first three stanzas of the re-cessional.
If more is 3ung the ef-fect
of the choir will not be as beau-tiful
as it should be, he said. Dr.
Brown said that it was his opinion
The college lyceum course for
1925-'26 will feature a number of
musicians and lecturers noted both
in this country and in England.
This lyceum course, which is al-most
as much a part of. the curric-ulum
as any particular course, is
arranged for each year by Dr. Wade
R. Brown in his capacity as chair-man
of the committee on entertain-ment.
Dr. Brown has conceived a
unique plan for the future lyceum
courses which will be of great inter-est
to those who watch the progress
of North Carolina's rising musicians.
Each year there will be a recital given
by some of the state's own artists.
The artists for the coming year are
Emilie Rose Knox, a violinist of Ra-leigh,
and pupil of Leopold Auer, and
William Clegg Monroe, baritone, for-merly
of Greensboro and now doing
concert work in Raleigh. These two
musicians will appear in March, the
exact date to be arranged later.
John Cowper Powys, English poet,
novelist, and essayist, will deliver two
lectures at the college as the first
number of the course. The subjects
of the lectures are: "The Ten Best
Books" and "Then Genuine Aristoc-racy."
Mr. Powys will appear at the
chapel hours and at 7:30 in the eve-ning
on October 6.
The college is most., fortu-nate
in securing John Drinkwater,
English dramatist, whose character-ization
of Abraham Lincoln is famous
in the United States. Drinkwater's
Lincoln has been played many times
in this country. Two of his best-known
plays, featuring famous char-acters,
are "Mary Stuart" and "Oliv-er
Cromwell." Mr. Drinkwater will
lecture on "Poetry and Life" at the
Spring Garden Street Methodist
church at 8 o'clock on the night of
October 28.
The third number will be a per-formance
by "The English Singers,"
Flora Mann, Winifred Whelen, Lil-lian
Berger, Steuart Wilson, Olive
Carey, and Cuthbert Kelly. These
singers, who are principally known
for their work in madrigals, can-zonets,
and unaccompanied part sing-ing,
will appear at the Grand theater
November 2.
The Elshuco Trio, of New York,
will give two programs on January

At a well attended and most inter-esting
meeting of the Senior class
Mrs. Durand made a talk on the re-sponsible
position of the class and the
part it is to play in forming public
opinion on the campus this year.
In her talk Mrs. Durand advised
the seniora to a^k themselves these
questions: "Where are we today?"
"What have the past three years
meant to us?" "What has this year
in store?" She said that the class
had a great and wonderful privilege,
the privilege of forming public opin-ion
on the campus. The college and
the state are looking to the senior
class, to set the standards that shall
prevail this year. Many people
have a wrong impression of the
ideals and ideas that we as a college
stand for. It is the high privilege
of the seniors to correct this wrong
impression by leading the way in
forming strong public opinion against
everything that tends to lower our
standards. The faculty and the
executive body can not do the work
that is the particular task of the
senior class.
At this meeting the members of
the house of representatives and class
sports leaders were elected. Kath-rine
Sherrill was elected tennis lead-er
and Marie Jones will serve as
hockey manager.
The junior class held a short call
meeting Friday at chapel time. The
members of the house of represen-tatives
and the following sports
leaders were elected: Hockey man-ager,
Cora Donaldson; soccer man-ager,
Minnie B. Jones and tennis
manager, Catherine Lewis.
Friday afternoon at B o'clock there
was a meeting of the Red, White and
Blue classes. The juniors explained
to their little sisters the traditions
and ideals of their class and gave
them some information on how to
organize. Officers for the class of
'29 will be elected at a later meeting.

October 5, next Monday, North
Carolina college will celebrate Foun-der's
day, on which day a holiday
is given in honor of Dr. Charles Dun-can
Mclver, who was the first presi-dent
of this institution.
. On that day John Cowper Powys,
novelist, essayist and lecturer, will
give the annual address before the
student body and'a number of alum-nae
who will return for the occasion.
His subject will be "The Art of Self-
Culture."
The Guilford County association,
through its president, Mrs. Lena Ker-hodle
McDuffie, '21, has invited re-turning
alumnae to a supper at the
Y. W. C. A. hut at 8 o'clock on'the
evening of Founder's day. Hon. A.
M. Scales, of Greensboro, will be the
speaker of the evening and will prob-ably
choose as his subject some phase
of progress in North Carolina.
On Founder's day local alumnae as-sociations
all over the state and else-where
will hold meetings in accord-ance
with a program sent out by the
alumnae office at the college, Miss
Clara Byrd, secretary of the associa-tion,
has announced.
Miss Jane Summerell, of China
Grove, is president of the Alumnae
association and Miss Laura H. Coit,
secretary of the college, is honorary
president.
Dr. Foust addressed to the alumnae
recently a letter which will be of
interest to students and former stu-dents
:
"I know it will be of interest to
you to learn that we are planning to
erect an auditorium this fall that will
accommodate about 3,000 people.
This will supply a real deficiency
in our equipment. Under present con-
Forty-six hundred meals are pre-pared
every day in the college
kitchen, and only 62 men are re-quired

who with Miss Grace Doub superin-tends
the kitchen and the dining
rooms.
Approximately 1532 people are
served at every meal in the three
dining rooms of the college. Spencer
dining room, with a capacity of 750,
holds 510 at present, South holds 488,
with a capacity of 560, and West
holds 522, with a capacity of 560.
The dining rooms are served in a
very short time after the doors are
closed and this is made possible only
by students entering on time. Seven-teen
waiters do the serving. The
cooks number 11, the bakers five,
the general cleaners seven, and the
men in the refrigeration room three.
Mr. Simmons has charge of the
dining rooms and supervises the work
there.
Back in the serving rooms are
great containers for keeping food hot,
bread sheer and a dishwasher that
washes about 7,000 or 8,000 dishes
after every meal.
In the kitchen is a five-section
coal range, on which food is cooked
in 80-gallon pots. Six gallon coffee
urns are used in making coffee, tea
and cocoa. A large steamer, a po-

a meat slicer are part of the equip-ment
of the kitchen. All machinery
used is run by steam or electricity.
The refrigeration room in the base-ment
uses about 78 60-pound blocks
of ice, which are manufactured in the
college ice plant. When ice cream is
served in the dining rooms, 110 gal-lons
are frozen. Fifteen hundred
gallons of water are kept in the brine
cooler at all times for use at meals.
Large separate refrigerators hold
milk, butter and cheese, meats, vege-tables
and ice. Nine large, well-ventilated
store rooms are used for
the storage of other food.
In the modern, airy bakery all of
the breads and desserts are made.
Approximately 260 loaves of bread,
8,000 rolls and 6,000 biscuits are
made here daily for the 1,632 people
fed. Two hundred and twenty-five
pies are made when "pie day" comes
around.

On Wednesday night, September
23, each of the dormitories on the
campus held its first regular house
meeting. At this time various mat-ters
of interest and importance to the
girls were discussed.
The house presidents read the sec-tion
in the handbook relating to
the rules and regulations of the col-lege.
These were discussed by the
girls and all points which were not
clear were explained by the presi-dents.
The new system of posting notices
of telephone calls, specials and tele-grams
was explained. Each girl was
urged to watch the board in order
that she might not miss a call.
Under new business the matter of
providing a reserve fund for socials
was discussed. Nearly every dormi-tory
decided to collect from each
girl a small fee per month to be
used for parties and socials. In
many of the dormitories the old girls
are now planning parties for the new
girls. It is hoped that through these
social get-togethers the girls will be-come
better acquainted with each
other. The presidents urged the
girls in the buildings to co-operate
with each other and to do all they can
to make dormitory life as pleasant
and home-like as possible.
The Y. W. C. A. entertained the
new girls last Saturday night in the
physical education building. The
freshmen and the juniors were espe-cially
invited guests of the Y. W. C.
A. Cabinet, Mrs. Durand, the stu-dent
councillors and former students
of the college were also guests at
this delightful gathering. The gym-nasium
was attractively decorated
with yellow, red, blue, lavender and
green ribbons, representing the col-lege
and class colors, goldenrod and
foliage.
An orchestra, composed of Marie
Wilkins, Sarah Taylor and Lib Hana-man,
violins, Kid Mull, ukelele, Reta
Jane Lyons, banjo and Joe Hege,
director and pianist, furnished music
throughout the evening.
The smaller gymnasium was
crowded to its capacity with merry
dancers and judging from the spirit
prevailing much fun was had.
Reta Jane Lyons and Marion Mc-
Craw impersonated two pickaninnies
in a cotton pickers' dance which was
highly enjoyed.
Under, the direction of Harriette
Brown, special features, games and
stunts were put on in the larger gym-nasium,
where a large crowd gath-ered.
Delicious refreshments- were served
in the outdoor gymnasium, which
was tastefully decorated to represent
a woodland scene with its rustic
seats and walkways, by Susan Bdr-den,
Anne Davis Melvin, Edna
Coates, Sis McDuffie, Elsie Crew,
Ruth Brooks and Lilly Gilly.
