RABBI ELLIS SPEAKS
AT CHAPEL PERIOD
Jewish Minister From City Dis-cusses
Girl's Second Job
Before N. C. Girls.
O'Donnell Blushingly
Receives a Bouquet
MRS. H. LE GWINN SINGS
Rabbi Milton Ellis, of the Temple Em
manuel in this city, made an interest-,
ing and entertaining as well as worth-while
talk at convocation Tuesday, Jan-uary
7, on the subject, "A Girl's Sec-ond
Job."'
The speaker expressed the belief that
women's talents should not be neglected
by sacrificing them on the altar or
man's conceit. He said he saw no rea-son
for all women to . bet cast into one
profession, that of housekeeping, when
some of them have no genius in that
field. Quoting a friend of his, he stated
that supreme happiness depends on
mutual love and some constructive work
or on mutual respect and an occupa-tion
of some kind, and sanctioned her
idea that the college years of any girl
should be spent finding the field in
which her talents lay. After gradua-tion
he advised girls should make "some-bodies"
of themselves and not step blind-ly
into matrimony.
In dosing Mr. Ellis explained that
while a girl's second job is to make "a
somebody of an anybody," her1 flrst'job
is to "get her man."(
Preceding the lecturer Mrs. H. E. Le-
Gwinn, who before her marriage was Es-telle
Mendenhall of the class of 1926,
sang a group of nursery rhymes. Miss
Grace Van Dyke More, of the music de-<
partment, led group singing.

finest lectures he had heard at a meet-ing
of this kind.
The next meeting of the, association
will be held in Cleveland.
Thirteen Men Call On
Popular 7i. G C. Student
Stage beauties and movie stars may
have numerous admirers, but few there
are who can lay claim to the honor
of having 18 man call on them at one
and the same time as can a student at
North Carolina college. That's popu-larity
plus!
It happened Just before Christmas in
one of the dormitories' wherein the
mighty dwell—or some of them. One
of the resident females was nutting in
some good time studying and dosing in
a comfortable big chair in the social
hall. Quiet reigned.
Suddenly a slight commotion outside
caused her to glance out of the window.
There coming up the walk In regular
battle array strode 13 men. Thirteen
callers In a row? The girl rubbed her
eyes, looked again. No, she didn't have
D. T'a There were 18 of them alright—
IS real, honest-to-goodness men with
the conventional ties, coats, and pin-striped
pants. It looked like a regular
army to the bewildered girl.
Before she hsd time to reeever from
her astonishment, the doorbell rang.
She stumbled out to meet theaa. One
of the 18, who seemed to be in the lead,
asked to see a certain girl. When fim
hostess turned to the other 12, she got
the shock of her life, for one after the
other they asked for the same student
the'first had named.
Eyes popping from her bead the stu-dent
raced upstairs to find the lucky
girl. Bursting unceremoniously into
her room, she cried, "There are 18 men
downstairs to see yon." The girl gave
one gasp, dabbed her nose with a pow-der
puff, and was gone.
Resolutely the girl folloewd her, In-tent
on solving the mystery. As she
reached the lower floor, she beard the
girl yeU "Uncle," and the leader of the
group reply. Court was being held in
Greensboro that week. The girl's uncle
and 11 of the men with him were doing
jury service. The thirteenth was the
jury-keeper. But the student who first
saw the men still thinks tiat that was
popularity and not law I
The blushing bride stepped down
from the Pullman into the arms of col-leagues,
who had awaited her arrival
in jealous anticipation. Felicitations
and wishes for the best were In order,
but suddenly through the circle of^ ad-mirers
a red-headed history teacher
wedged her way. In her arms she
clutched n bouquet of paper flowers,
faded with age and tied with yards and
yards of very expensive gauze. The
fair blossoms fairly reeked with Wool-worth's
most expensive variety of
Hoyt's and Nafabwus.
' The bride was quite embarrassed. Her
cheeks and neck reddened as she gra-ciously
accepted the most coveted gift
of the faculty. The passage of this
corsage from hand to hand has become
almost traditional.
This particular bouquet is quite rich
In experience. Recently it -took a Eu-ropean
tour with two of the female
instructors. Each astounding deed
by a faculty member calls for the
presentation of this "Gift of Roses,"
but so far no reception of this offering
has been so effective In bringing forth
blushes as this one.
The occasion was the return of Dr
O'Donnell to the city after her honey-moon.
SOCIOLOGICAL ASS'^
MEETS DEC. 27-30
*r—
Dr. H. W. Odum of U. N. C. is
Sooth's First President of
This National Society.
WOODHOUSE READS PAPER
At the annual meeting of the National
Sociological Association held id Wash-ington,
D. ©., December 27-30, there
were 460 representatives from colleges
scattered all over the United States and
Canada. Dr. H. W. Odum, of the Uni-versity
of North Carolina, was elected
president of the sociology division for
this year. This was the first time a
Southern man has been given the honor.
Dr. Odum succeeds_Dr. o. V. Ogburn of
the University of Chicago.
Mrs. Ada Davis, professor of sociol-ogy,
and Dr. A. S. Kelster, professor of
economics, were the two representatives
from North Carolina college, at the
meet.
The annual bauquet Monday evening
at the Raleigh hotel brought together
the entire attendance of the four-day
conference. "Scientific Methods" was
the theme of the discussion after the
dinner. The truly scientific person of
the future was portrayed by one of the
speakers as a person who works long,
hard and unnoticed In gathering data
and in recording it In an unjournalistic
fashion.
Mrs. Davis attended most of the
meetings scheduled for the sociology
division. However, her general reac-tion
is that there is more real value
in contact with the individual mem-bers.
That contact she cites as the
real purpose of such a meeting.
Mrs. Chase Going Woodhpuse, voca-tional
director of this college, attended
the closing sessions. Mrs. Woodhouse
read a paper, that was the result of a
survey of 250 successful families.
The meeting of the association Is an
annual event and for the past several
years has been held in Washington,
New York, and Chicago. Next year the"
meeting will be held after Christmas
but will probably convene In a mid-western
city.

so honored. Sixeten other Negroes
were given money awards and medals,
but the largest was that presented to

and a gold medal.
Dr. Moton won this honor by his out-standing

of the committee on inter-raclal co-operation,
and because of his book,
"What the Negro Thinks."

Gosh'',plrate of the last 100 years, will
describe his war experiences in his lec-ture
"Sea RaidB of a Friendly Enemy"
at Aycock auditorium Friday, January
10, at 8:30 P. M.
Count Luckner's life harks back to
the days of Elizabethan freebooters,
and, as a career of adventure, is with-out
parallel In this century. The peak
of his amazing career was reached dur-ing
the war. His story Is one of the
real romances of the war! The running
of the triple-blockade of the allies; the
two years of buccaneering in his fa-mous
old wind-Jammer, "The Sea
Eagle"; his capture and Imprisonment
In Australia; and his escape and 2,000-
mile journey .In a life-boat, with six
companions.
The war over he has been signally
honored all over "the world. The honor
of which he is said to be proudest was
his reception in America, when be
landed in,San Francisco. Honorary cit-izenship
was conferred by the city upon
him, one of six—and the only foreigner
ever to receive this honor. He now
holds honorary memberships in 22 other
American civic organisations.
Lowell Thomas' book, "The Sea
Devil," describing the amazing career
of Coupt Luckner, immediately jumped
into the best-seller class when be placed
It on the market last fall. Recently
It was published In England where
there was a duplication of the Ameri-can
sales.
The Count is said to be a natural
born actor with a tremendous voice that
can be e-isily heard In the largest
auditoriums.
STUDENTS MAKE TALKS
AT MATHEMATICS CLUB
• —_—
Mathematics sad 'Its Relation to Modern
Baaineaa Is Chief Topic of
Speeches Given.'
"Mathematics and Its Relation tp Bus-iness"
was the subject of the program
given at the regular meeting of We
Mathematics club held in Melver build-ing
Tuesday night, January 7. Three
students gave talks.
Elizabeth McDonald, of Fulford, Fla.,
senior, discussed mathematics in indus-try
and research, declaring that men
must be able to understand and apply
the underlying mathematical principles
to their work. The automobile industry
was mentioned as one in which the Sci-ence
of mathematics is all important.

W anted: A 1s[ame for One
Of Copy Cat's Kittens
Santa Claus Is a great big old double-crosser!
The Copy Cat asked for a
cat, and that hale and Hearty bluffer
brought her a trio of purring little kit-tles.
Names, real names and not nom
de plumes, were perfectly obvious for
the first two kittens, but the third is
still meowing plteously for an appella-tion
with a literary connotation.
A fluffy little creature of kittenish
design greeted Felix's eyes when she
unwrapped a bulky package encased In
brown paper which plainly bespoke Its
Woolworthlan origin. The kitty had
green and orange fur and mournful
green eyes, and there was a huge bow
of green tulle around its neck which
must1 have cost the donor at least thir-teen
bright and shining copper pennies.
Being a religious person, Felix imme-diately
named the kitten "Felix-two-eyes."
Yon have no doubt beard the
joke about the negro preacher who read
the "two-eyed chap, from the one-eyed
John."
Felix I was quite content with a
family composed merely of Felix II but
the august editor (realizing her favor-ite
columnist's need for Inspiration)
contributed a nebulous little grey kitty
With the freedom of the press tied
around its neck. It was Immediately
name "Areopagltlea."
Twaa the night before Christmas and
plaintive cat-calm Issued front the door-mat.
Felix Investigated, and what to
her wondering eyes should appear but
a sleek, masculine, black-and-white kit-ten
with a neat bow tie of scarlet hue
around its neck. It was perched on the
doormat.peertng upward with an eager
expression. This kitty has a very
knowing look on bis face, and bis ears
remain pertly uplifted all of the time.
He is of German ancestry as Is easily
deduced from the trade mark on one
of his fore paws. Pull a string and be
meows—actually meows—faintly and
feebly, nevertheless he meows!
Being somewhat incapacitated be-cause
of recent,illness, the Copy Cat
does not deem it advisable to overwork
