if the women of the world would work
together. Only n few women are work-ing
for pence at the present time.
Women are now taking their places be-side
men in pal<lic life, but even
women in politic have not worked to-g.

women in general. Miss Rrittain point-ed

Women, ahe says, are 'n"
emotional, and too likely to Ive swayed
by martial speech. Married women are
ntrbtl in their homes to have
aiwch interest in national affairs. Uni-versal
education for women is fairly

advances, the differences be-bss
part fsajosl by men and the
part played by women in public af-fairs
tends to diminish rapidly.
The economic part of civilization

A Nameless Story
ALLEN" and HOWARD, two BROTH-ERS,
decided one fall DAY to go
WOODWARD for a picnic. Their sis-ter,
MAY, was staying in the country,
and they had promised to JOYSER.
They asked the COOKE to put np a
lutH'h in a BOX. He got them some
bread from the BAKER for a low
PRICE and sent them a CANS of
beans and a SPOON with which to eat
them. Then ALLEN asked the BUTLER
to get the FORD out, TURNER aronnd.
and put the HOOD down. Then he
and his brother put on their CAPPS
and left for the country.
Their trip through the country was
pleasant, though the RHODES were
rough. They saw a BYRD singing in
a CHERRY tree on the HEATH, and
some BURCH trees on a HILT,. A
LAMB and some SHEEP were grazing
in a GREEN pasture, and a BULLOCK
was chewing at a COBB. The only mis-hap
came when they killed AYCOCK.
Soon they came to a SWIFT stream.
There was a BOATMAN there who of-fered
to take them across in his
8LOOP. He was an old BATCHELOR
with a LONG WHITE BEARD.
There was a FISHER on the BANKS
of the stream who continued to BRAGG
about the number of FISH he had
caught. He had a BLACK BAS8 which
they bought from him.
They decided to eat their aupper in
a MILLER'S yard ao that they could
get water out of his WELLS. But the
MILLER waa hiding behind the
BARNES, and when he saw them he
jumped out crying, "I SAWYER trying
to STEELE my water. There's a LAW
ngainst that, and I will have NUNN
of it." ALLEN and HOWARD began
to rnn, but the MILLER called after
them. "It'« KNOTT WRIGHT. If I
ever KETCHUM. they had better start
digging their GRAVES."
In trying to escape, ALLEN fell into
a CLAYPOOLE and stuck in the CLAY.
But he succeeded in getting out. nnd
the BROTHER8 got back to the FORD
safely that KNIGHT.

N:i!ic<n;il Hook Week was observed
last we,k by the library. The subject.
"Hobbies." waa carried out with the
display of hooks and with the eahibl-tiiin
of pictures pertaining to hobbies.
"The Care nnd Feeding of Hobby
Horses," by Calkins, occupied a central
position In the exhibition. The nooV
is a clever compilation of all known
bobbies with references to other hobby
books.
Mrs. Hu-sey stated that hobbies were
emphasized as a suggestion of a way
for the girls to use their leisure time.
"The library is interested in the girla
and is glad to help tanks, find books
on their hobUso, and t<» help them
i boost MH if they have none," she
said.

"The library,'* declared Mrs. Hussey.

movies which are taken from
books. I-tst week we arranged an ex-hibition
of "MM. Wiggs of the Cabbage

■aeosurt of her life, and of all the
books that she has written. This week

LEGISLATURE HOLDS
OPEN MEETING FOR
VARIED DISCUSSIONS
Jane Page Powell, Chairman
of Campus Standards
Group, Presides.
WHITE LEADS DISCUSSION
Students Consider Behavior Standards
at Meals and Up Town; Suggest
Change in Chapel.
Jane Page Powell, chairman of the
Campus Standards Committee of Legis-lature,
presided at the open forum on
Wedneaday, November 21, in the Cor-nelian
Society Hall. The general topic
of discussion was the attitude of the
students to campus standards, and in
opening the meeting Miss Powell
praised the behavior daring loyalty
Week, and urged that this attitude
toward the school be maintained
throughout the year.
.The discussion was led by Susan
White, who spoke on "What the Stu-dents
Think of Campus Standards."
The ilifTereiu-e between n standard,
which is upheld because it is thought
the right thing to do. antl a rule, which
is forced upon the people, and is pun-ishable
if violated, was emphasized, and
kept in view throughout the evening-
The first point mentioned was the at-ti'u-
le in the dining room: the ma-jority
of the students have shown
great consideration at noon, have
courteously awaited their turn in line,
and have on the whole been very con-siderate
of the other stedents. At the
formal evening dinners, the group is
inclined to he a little forgetful, and
not show the manners learned at home.
Often the waitresses are not treated as
politely as they should be; it must be
realized that these girls are working
very hard to kep up with their aca-demic
work, and nt the same time help
in the dining room; this should be
k-jit in mind, and unnceeaaary de-
■ ana's sfoiara. Th* pUc« where the
students are most inclined to fall down
is in the matter of taking food to their
rooms; they do not realize why they
are asked not to do so. and therefore
see no reason for not doing so.
Th" sSOSanl petal considered was the
of chapel. Studying and writ-ing
during chapel are signs of diseour-te.
v ; the audience and the speakers are
distracted and disturbed by siieh rude-ness.
Rushing out of chapel also Is
extremely diseourt- out. It should be
LUaad that waiting for the end of
the service it tl n!y potlta action.
The third point was that of dress,
on and off eampiit. :it meals, and in
class. Students should not wear py-jamas
or slipper* to breakfnst, nor
should they wear their hair in rollers
about the campus. Many nre inclined
to rush to classes untidily dressed, and
therefore create a very poor impres-sion
on visitors. The school ia judged
by the actions and appearances of the
students on campus, and in town; and
being seen without hats or hose in
Greensboro does not make a very good
(Continued on Page Two)
The program for the ehapel exercises
Friday, Noveml»er 10, was arranged by
the Student Government Association,
and consisted of musical numbers by
the woman's quintet from Palmer Me-morial
Institute at Sedalia.
Th© first group of selections was
sung by the trio, who-*,- opening num-ber
waa an arrangement of "Uft Thine
Eyes," by Mendelssohn. Following this
they sang "Ashes of Roses," and finally
"The Call."
Following the trio, the quintet ren-dered
the well-known "The Old Re-frain."
In the third aeries, the quartet sang
"My Task," "The Night nas a Thou-aand
Eyea," and in conclusion a typi-cal
negro spiritual, "Oh Lord, Look
Down," by Humphrey.
As an encore the quintet aang a de-lightful
arrangement of the "Alphabet."
J\[ews Reporter Interviews
Well Known Lecturer
Attend Conference
Lorena McManus, Pat Knight, and
Lyn Nell MeLennon, of the college so-ciology
department, were among those
who attended the North Carolina-Vir-ginia
Interracial Commission confer-ence
held at Reidaville Friday morn-ing,
November lfi.
Rehearsals for "Hay Fever," Noel
Coward's hilarious comedy, are now
in full swing. Everything is com-ing
along in fine shape for the offi-cial
performance on December 15.
"One of the most hopeful things
about modern youth is that they are
beginning to care about things." said
Misa Vera Rrittain, widely known lec-turer,
author, nnd student of world
affairs, in an interview granted th I
I hun linian on Saturday. She believes
that this interest evidenced in things
political and international is a very
good sign that world conditions have a
chance for stability and peace. "One
of the reasons why my generation ac-cepted
th© Great War aa it did was
because we didn't know the background
of what was happening at the time."
"The war generation," she declared,
"had a very different background and
different ideals from those which tho
youth of today have. We were very
ignorant and most unsophisticated; we
believed that patriotiam was a great
virtue in itself.
"Some adnlt recently expressed the
contrast between your generation and
mine in these words: 'We bad ideals
and they were all shattered; the pres-ent
generation has no ideals to •hat-ter!'
That, it seems to me, 'rubs it on'
too thickly; bnt, undoubtedly, the
youth of today is far more aelf-aasured
and aggressive, more sophisticated and
assertive, than the youth of twenty
years ago." Miss Brittain believe*.
that this is a much happier condition,
in many respects, than was previously
the case.
To college women and to youth in
general who nre interested in seeing
wurl.l peace realized, she advised that
the best way to begin the task waa to
study current events. By so doing the
present generation can, she thinks,
avoid that great failure of the youth
of HH4 which led them to aceept
blindly and helplessly a colossal or-ganized
slaughter—namely, political
ignorance. Another excellent method
of aiding the peace movement is for
youth to get in touch with, and join,
organized groups working to that end,
Misa Rrittain believes.
"About the only thing anyone can
do concerning the armaments racket
is spread abroad tho actual informa-tion
of what the munitions interests
are doing." she said.
"Everybody in England is alive to
existing conditions in armaments. The
smnll but active Union of Democratic
Control, established in 1UU or 1915 by
English pacifists, is doing good work
in munitions inquiries and in general
peace agitation," Miss Brittain stated.
The author does not beleve that a
