SPEAKS ON "FUNCTION
COLLEGE PUBLICATION"
Addresses N. C. Collegiate Press
Association in its First Session
Friday Night
STRESSES NEWSPAPER WORK
Quill Club Gives Informal Reception
In Honor of Delegates After
Meeting
Taking four types of college peri-odicals,
news conveyors, serious mag-azine,
humorous, and technical, aa
examples, Professor E. C. Lindeman,
of the Sociology department of N. C.
C. W. addressed the Collegiate Press
Association at its Friday night ses-sion
on "The Function of a College
Publication".
The work of the "news conveyor"
type was of great importance ac-cording
to Mr. Lindeman, not only
as a bearer of news to the* students,
but as a medium of criticism and
progress in the college community.
This, he said, may be carried out by
criticism which both destroys false
ideas and builds or supplants them
with new ones.
As a promoter of self-expression,
Mr. Lindeman found much to say
for the college newspaper. Here the
individual could find a means of ex-pressing
his or her ideas in a place
that they would be openly approved
or denounced by college companions.
It would serve to enhance the cap-acities
of students who are looking
forward to journalistic careers, offer-ing,
practical experience in the re-porting,
editing, head line writing,

CHO-CHO PUTS ON
INTERESTING SERIES
OF HEALTH STUNTS
Pomona School Children! Are- De-lighted
With Uncle Sam's Health
Clown
, "Good", "Bad", "Good", "Good",
"Good" "I drink milk every morn-ing",
shouted with much gusto by
some two hundred Pomona school
children, were fhe responses Ithat
Cho-Cho the health clown got Mon-day
morning, when he lectured in
the auditorium on proper foods for
children.
With the auditorium packed from
window sills to stage, Cho-Cho made
his last appearance in Greensboro,
winding up his Children's Week pro-gram
with as great success as he
started it. Coming as a represen-tative*
of the United States Govern-ment
he brought a real message of
better health, but brought it in such
a way that it immediately caught
and held the attention of every
youngster. They sat in the college
auditorium, squirming with delight,
and shouting with laughter as he
showed them the^proper way to clean
teeth, and at the same time made a
face worthy of Charlie Chaplin, or
as he gave an exhibition of the cor-rect
way to drink milk.
In a clown suit such as every lit-tle
boy dreams of wearing when he
gets big and joins the circus, Cho-
Cho danced merrily into the audi-torium,
and proceeded to stub his
toe and mash his hand, at the same
time lamenting his accident in loud
wails that hrilled the heart of every
little occupant of the front rows.
He told them the dangers of drink-ing
tea and coffee, emphasizing the
value of milk by telling the story of
an old cow which lived in Guilford
County to supply Greensboro boys
and girls.

an awkwardness which is the special

The annual stunt night of the
young Women's Christian Associa-tion
was the event of Wednesday
evening. Every committee put on
a stunt which represented the work
of that committee and each stunt
proved to be a great source of enjoy-ment
to those present.
The Hut Department with Kath-erine
Gaston as the "gas man" and
quite a number of students busy
cleaning the hut was very successful.
Hester Wallace is chairman of this
department.
The religious department of the
association under the leadership of
Mary Sue Beam put on a meeting of
that committee in which they ex-plained
their purpose. The feature
of the ■ stunt was a telegram from
Miss Elsie B. Heller announcing the
fact that Dr. Morgan would speak.
The stunt came to a close with a very
fitting song to the tune of "Its the
Old Time Religion".
Eleanor Hill presided at the punch

department was giving while the

ELSON ART EXHIBIT
CLOSES AFTER BEING
SHOWN THREE DAYS
Musical Programs by Members of
Faculty and Students A Special
Feature
The Elson Art exhibit, which was
staged at the training school the
latter part of the week, was most
successful in its accomplishments.
The exhibit opened Wednesday eve-ning
at seven o'clock with a good
attendance. The musical programs
in the evening were especially good,
being given by members of the fac-ulty
and students of the college.
Dorothy Clement played the "Song
Without Words" by Mendelsohn.
Those who were closely associated
with the arrangement of the exhibit,
express themselves as being quite
well satisfied as to the fulfillment of
the purpose which was to encourage
and create a real appreciation of
art in pictures.

work.

PROF. E. C. LINDEMAN
TALKS ON CONDITIONS
OF THE MODERN WORLD
He Suggests Ways by Which Stu-dents
Can Help Remedy These
Diseases
Mr. E. C. Lindeman, of the Sociol-ogy
department of the North Caro-lina
College for Women, who has
just returned from Europe, spoke at
the Vesper service Sunday night
Mr. Lindeman's subject was "The
Diseases of the Modern World and
the Part We Can Play in Remedy-ing
Them". As a basis for his talk
he read selections from the book en-titled
"God and Humanity" and also
from the Bible.
The diseases discussed by Mr.
Lindeman were economic, political,
ethical and spiritual. Instead of
growing better these diseases are
worse today than they were a year
ago.
The second phase of the subject
discussed by Mr. Lindeman ' was
"What Can We Do To Remedy
These Diseases?". Some of the
methods he suggested were: Cleanse
your hearts of hatred; establish
Christian fellowship with the stu-dents
of Europe; and' strengthen
your spiritual resources.
Mr. Lindeman stated that the
Young Woman's Christian Associ-ation
gives its members a chance to
live their religion. He also said that
the Association can be given the
force to demonstrate that there will
be a leadership to settle problems by
religion instead of by war.
Dr. Walter A. Morgan of
Mt. Vernon Congregajtionalist
Church will be at the college on
Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week. He will speak on
Tuesday at 12:15, and will con-duct
chapel exercises on Wed-nesday.
At 7:00 on Wednes-day
evening. Dr. Morgan will
give another address. He will
take as two of his subjects
"The Modern Young" and
"Wotaian and Her Religion".
During his stay here Dr. Mor-gan
will hold conferences at
the Hut
