MANY NEW FACULTY MEMBERSJNGAGED HIGH DEGREE SCHOLARSHIP Many Colleges ere Represented in New Members of the Various Departments. The opening of the year 1928-24 shows a greater n amber among the faculty than ever before. Men and women from other colleges and uni-versities all over the United States come to us with a higher degree of scholarship and experience than has been evident in the history of the college. Including the new members, about two thirds of the entire faculty are graduates or have been students of Columbia University. We have also some who have been at one time profesors and instructors in that institution. There are seven new additions to the History Department, among whom is Dr. B. B. Kendrick, who comes to us from the faculty of the History and Political Science De-partment of Columbia University. Dr. Kendrick is originally from Georgia, and is a graduate of Mercer University. Prior to his work at Columbia, he was superintendent of Public Schools at Colubus, Ga. Many of us will remember Dr. Kendrick from last spring when he spoke to the students of history here. Also in connection with the His-tory Department we have Dr. A. M. Arnette, former head of the History Department of Furman University, Greenville, S. C. Dr. Arnette holda a record of wide experience, having taught for several years at Shorter College, Rome, Ga. and in the His-tory Department of Columbia Uni-versity, where he received his doc-tor's degree.

TRAINING SCHOOL FILLED (Continued on Page Four) All the Departments and various schools of i the College are crowded to overflowing this year, since the College has such a large number of students. Many new sections, especi-ally of Freshmen subjects, have been created since the opening of the col-lege. Some of the departments are offering new courses and most of them have in view projects which they intend to carry out in the work of the departments. The Romance Language Depart-ment has a total enrollment of 1079 students in the French and Spanish classes, 300 of whom are Spanish students. There are 40 classes in French and 10 classes in Spanish. French 85, taught by Prof. Hooke, is a new course being offered; it deals with French Literature from 1850 to the present time. This is the first course ever given here en-tirely in French. Spanish is, also, a new course offered by Miss Lavery. It is a course on Spanish life and customs. The Biology Department has 600 students enrolled in 15 sections. No new courses are being offered in this department but the course in comparative anatomy of vertebrates, which has not been given for two years, is being given again this year. The department is occupying more space this year, and room 85 Mclver is being equipped for the Botany Laboratory. The department will continue to help the state in better organization in the teaching of science in the high schools of the state, as its project this year. 719 students have enrolled in the school of Education making 33 sec-tions in all. There are, also, more practice teachers this year than ever before. Mr. Cooke and other mem-bers of the department will work on a bulletin, "Country-wide Building and Consolidation Plan for Rowan County," as their especial project This bulletin will consist of argu-ments for consolidation, location of the high schools of the county and comparisons of the standing of chil-dren from different sections of the county, with standard tests. The training school is over-crowded. On account of these over-crowded con-ditions Ruth Angle, an alumna of this institution, a Greensboro girl, has been employed as a teacher of the first grade.

Conference of Past Summer Wins the Unanimous Verdict of "The Best Yet" NOTED SPEAKERS RECREATION FEATURES Numbers of Discussion Groups Con-sider Various Questions of Vital Importance. "The best ever" is the unanimous report of the N. C. C. W. students who attended the Y. W. C. A. Con-ference at Blue Ridge last summer. One of the most interesting fea-tures of the conference was the Bible classes which were based on the Hebrew prophets. These classes were conducted by the students them-selves on the Open Forum plan, and had for their ajm the interpretation of the writings of the prophets in the light of present day affairs. It was found that the problems con-fronting the Israelites were very similar to those on which the stu-dents of the age are spending their best time and energy. The plan of this conference was slightly modified from that which was used in previous yean. The committee in charge, finding that the conference had been so filled with business matters, and that there was insuffcient time to discuss vital issues, decided to arrange to finish the busines in two days so that the remainder of the ton days might be used for discussion and fellowship. The new plan proved to be preemin-ently successful. Among the noted speakers of the conference were: Dr. William Alex-' ander, who spoke on "Inter-Racial Cooperation;" Dr. Fleming, who spoke on "Christian International-ism;" and Dr. Alexander Purdy, of Hartford Theological Semianry, who spoke on "What is there in religion?" Dr. Purdy stressed especially the fundamental principles of Christ as a working basis for the problems of society. It was decided during the confer-ence to bring before the colleges represented, the resolutions of the World Conference held at Peking, at which was studied the problem of the means of securing international peace. The purpose of this decision was to induce the students of the South to think seriously upon the idea of international confederation to settle international disputes with-out resorting to war. Another important matter was the consideration of the Student Friend-ship Fund, to which N. C. C. W. as well as other colleges, contributed last year. The conference voted to continue the contribution and to make another appeal to the students when the colleges reopen in the fall. Besides the definite groups there was a general group of the members of the conference. This General Membership group made a study of campus problems and the function of the Y. W. C. A. in finding solu-tions. The conference, however, was not wholly given over to study. Fun and recreation had its full share of the The Y. W. C. A. staged one of the biggest vaudevilles ever given at the college on Saturday night The show was in honor of the new girls, who were surprisingly pleased with the wonderful music, acting, dancing, and refreshments. The ac-tors showed unusual talent, ap-proaching the professional line. It had been planned to stage the show on South Spencer Lawn but due to the inclement weather, had to be held in the Student's Building. The Auditorium was packed to its in-sufficient limits with both old and new girls. Before the curtain rose music was furnished by an orchestra composed of young Greensboro musicians. They gave many popular numbers between acts. The first number on the program was a chorus, "The Swagger Stick Babies," who were pleasingly at-tired in bathing suits of the bright-est hue. The chorus was composed of five most attractive girls who might easily rival the Maek Sen-nett Bathing Beauties. These were Elizabeth Faircloth, Polly Jacocks, Virginia King, Audrey Brenager and j Lois Atkinson. - The carrying of swagger sticks as they swaggered across the stage to the accompani-ment of the music gave them their name. Much of the success of the chorus was due to the direction of Mildred Land. Estelle Mendenhall and Margaret Hartsell as comedians brought storms of applause from the crowded house with their jokes, songs and unusual acting. The singing of "Yes, we have no bananas Blues" capped the climax of their comedy. Next was the Danseuse No. 1 given by Lila Jordan. She interpreted the dance in a charmingly graceful man-ner. Lenore accompanied her on the piano. A most tragic drama was next pre-sented in "An Eskie Tradegy." Helen Reid played the role of the Eskimo, Lucile Kasehagen of the "Eskie- FOUNDER'S DAY October 5th is Founder's Day at N. C. C. W.

COLLEGE EXTENSION DIVISION_CREATED Its Purpose is to Extend Educational Resources Thorughout the State. W. H. LIVERS IS DIRECTOR It is Being Founded on a Two-Year- Old Beginning, Made at the Call of Many People. Realizing in common with many of the leading colleges and universi-ties of the country that the bound-aries of an educational institution are not limited by its campus, nor those whom it would serve to the student within the- walls of its buildings, the North Carolina College for Women has set about the de-velopment of an Extension Division, the purpose of which is to carry to the doon of all the people through-out the state, either individually, or as community groups, all the edu-cational resources at its command. Moreover, there has been a distinct call from the people themselves for this type of service. In response to this call a small beginning was made two yean ago; and it is upon this foundation that the Department of Extension will be further built To direct and promote the work, Mr. W. H. Liven, of Chicago, has been secured. He has already arrived at the college and assumed his duties. Mr. Liven received his bachelor's degree from the Univenity of Kan-sas, and later obtained his Master's degree from the Columbia Univer-sity. He is the son of a Kansas farmer—a pioneer from the State of Illinois, and knows thoroughly the life of the farm. He therefore has at the outset the advantage of the rural background. Mr. Liven brings to his work in this state not only a splendid train-ing and equipment but a real love and enthusiasm for what he has undertaken. For twenty yean he has been en- CHALLENGE IS GIVEN COLLEGE STUDENTS Miss McDonald Makes Appeal That the Full Life, Not Selfish, be Lived. (Continued on Page Four) An appeal for the' abundant life was the keynote of Miss McDonald's talk at Vesper Sunday night It was a universal appeal addressed to "Any-one," but especially to college stu-dents, and to N. C. C. W. students in particular. Miss McDonald made a plea to all classes to make a part of them-selves the consciousness of the one-ness of life and the individual's share in making it the full life, a life de-voted to uplift, personally and soci-ally, rather than to accept existing conditions passively. It was also an entreaty to those who would with-draw from the world and live in a world of their own construction whether it be the poet's world of fancy, or the industrialist's world of smug self-complacency. Being in the world, every one must be a part of it; being alive, every one must live the most abundant life. The challenge, Miss McDonald said, is to the college student and the factory wokrer alike. It is for them to awaken to a sense of their! possibilities, and to use their great latent strength to truly bring the. Kingdom. CHARACTERS CHOSEN . FOR THE FIRST PLAY "Mr. Pirn Passes By" is to be Acted by Students from Various Classes. As its first play of the season, the Dramatic Association will present a clever and entertaining comedy, "Mr. Pirn Passes By," by the Eng-lishman, A. A. Milne. The entire membership was given an opportuni-ty to try out for the parts in the play. The cast thus far decided upon is tentative, including: Mr. Pim played by Elizabeth Dudley; Dinah played by Hiawatha ,Neal; Brian Strange by Nellie Irvin; Oliva Mar-den by Eloise Hardiman; George Marden by Lucille Meredith; Lady Marden by Clara Gant; and Ann, the maid, by Lila Jordan. The under-studies who may yet receive a part in the play are Florence Winstoad and Elizeabeth Boyd. On Wednesday, September 19, the Association helds its first regu-lar meeting to discuss and explain its plans for the year. The depart-ments, as |isted in last week's Caro-linian, were announced and girls hav-ing any ability and talent in the arts of acting, carpentering, costume-de-signing, painting, or in making-up wen asked to specify the department of their choice on the membership cards. Enlist now I (Continued on Page Three) JOHNNIE HEILIG WILL LEAD CLASS OF 1926 Elisabeth Caskins, Corrine Cannady, Dorothy Parham and Katharine Wolff, Officers. ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH At their regular class meeting on Saturday afternoon the sophomores elected their officers for the coming term. Amid enthusiam and cheen and the peppy speeches of their suppor-ters Johnnie Heilig was elected presi-dent from a large number of nomi-nees. The sophomores are very for-tunate in their choice, Miss Heilig being one of the ablest memben of the class. She has stood out since her entrance here last year and will certainly prove a good leader for the class for the fint half of this year. Elizabeth Gaskins, who had run Miss Heilig! a close second for'the* presidency was elected vice president on the strength of this close run. The constitution was overrule.1 to the effect that she be elected with-out a vote except that which had made her a close and dangerous rival of Miss Hei'i& fur the presi-dency. Corrine Cannady end Dorothy Parham were elected secretary and treasurer, respectively, and Kather-in Wolff received a unanimous vote for critic. Other officers elected were Elean-or Vannaman, cheer leader; Helen Non Sherrill, tennis leader; Louise Ervin, hockey leader; Johnsie Henry, track leader; Ellen Stone, basketball leader; Elizabeth Young, baseball leader; Grey Fetter, class pianist; adn Kate Hall, class representative to the annual. o Mn.

BANQUET GIVEN FOR THE BAPTIST GIRLS Student are 'Warmly Welcomed by the Forest Avenue Baptist Church. More than five hundred attended the annual get-together meeting at the Forest Avenue Hut last Saturday night and over three hundred and seventy five of them were N C. Col-lege students. Addresses by Dr. Charles E. Madry of Raleigh, corresponding secretary of the North Carolina Baptist Con-vention; by Miss Juliette Mather of Birmingham, Ala.; and by the leader of the Young Woman's Auxiliary were main feature. Other speakers for the occasion were Perry Morgan, of Raleigh, the State B. Y. P. U. sec-retary; Miss Mary Warren of Ral-eigh, State W M. U. leader, and Dr. J. Clyde Turner, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Greensboro. The girls were welcome.1 to Forest Avenue Church by the Pastor, Rev. R. E. White, who urged them to con-sider it their place to wonh'p. Mn. S. F. Johnson, president of the Woman's Missionary Society, wel-comed the girls to the homes of the women of the church, and J. E. Sharpe, superintendent of the Sun-day school welcomed the girls back to the Sunday School. Prof. J. T. Miller of the North Carolina College spoke briefly on "What The Church Should Mean to the Student" urging the girls to associate themselves with the church during their college years. Miss Sybil Dean Wilson read the poem written last year by Lucille Freman in honor of the Baptist stu-dent mother, Mn J. T. Battle. Miss Olens Hayes read her Baptist Stu-dent Prophecy snd Miss Cleo Mitch-ell delivered the response of wel-come. Miss Margaret Bedell rendend a solo, after which the entire assembly joined in singing, possibly the most impressive song, ""Blest Be The Tie That Binds" at the close of the meeting. The supper was served banquet etyle, the speeches and addresses be-ing made during the supper. Mrs. C. A. Williams, Director of Student Actfvtties for Forest Avenue Church officiated. DR. RUSKIN SPEAKS ON CHAPEL PROGRAM Tells Large Audience of Students of His Travels and of People He has Met. Dr. John Ruskin, noted traveller and explorer, made a' most interest-ing talk on Thursday at Chapel period, taking as his theme, "Three Yean in Northern Greenland." Dr. Ruskin was introduced by Dr. Kephart of the School of Education, who stated that Dr. Ruskin is the grand nephew of the great John Ruskin with whom he lived for four years and of whom we all know. Thus when the speaker began his talk, the audience became immedi-ately interested and listened with delight and enthusiasm to what Dr. Ruskin had to say. Beginning his story of his voyage to Greenland, Dr. Ruskin stated that he was invited by a prominent man of Conneticut to take the trip. The boat was fitted out and the party of twelve set sail for the icy shores. Dr. Ruskin then gave a vivid de-scription of Greenland, its inhabi-tants, who are Eskimos and a general description of the three years spent on Greenland soil. The explorer said that on landing one is immediately confronted by a is immediately confronted by s number of Eskimo yachts, loaded with fur skins, and that if a traveller is so fortunate as to have with him a tin cup, a number of matches Or a watch and is willing to exchange any of these that the Eskimo will gladly "swap" for such articles as furs, which would probably sell in the U. S. for five hundred "dollars or more. The home of the Eskimo, as Dr. Ruskin described it, is a snow-hut The bed on which he sleeps is often made of snow, though some times fur skins are used.. Thus one would know that Greenland is not a very comfortable place to live, and as Dr. Ruskin said, is often made more uncomfortable because the Eskimo does not think of cleanliness. Dr. Ruskin said that he himself had to live for two yean and eight months without a bath, hair cut or a shave. (Continued on Page Three)

He is the son of a Kansas farmer—a pioneer from the State of Illinois, and knows thoroughly the life of the farm. He therefore has at the outset the advantage of the rural background. Mr. Liven brings to his work in this state not only a splendid train-ing and equipment but a real love and enthusiasm for what he has undertaken. For twenty yean he has been en- CHALLENGE IS GIVEN COLLEGE STUDENTS Miss McDonald Makes Appeal That the Full Life, Not Selfish, be Lived. (Continued on Page Four) An appeal for the' abundant life was the keynote of Miss McDonald's talk at Vesper Sunday night It was a universal appeal addressed to "Any-one," but especially to college stu-dents, and to N. C. C. W. students in particular. Miss McDonald made a plea to all classes to make a part of them-selves the consciousness of the one-ness of life and the individual's share in making it the full life, a life de-voted to uplift, personally and soci-ally, rather than to accept existing conditions passively. It was also an entreaty to those who would with-draw from the world and live in a world of their own construction whether it be the poet's world of fancy, or the industrialist's world of smug self-complacency. Being in the world, every one must be a part of it; being alive, every one must live the most abundant life. The challenge, Miss McDonald said, is to the college student and the factory wokrer alike. It is for them to awaken to a sense of their! possibilities, and to use their great latent strength to truly bring the. Kingdom. CHARACTERS CHOSEN .

RUSKIN SPEAKS ON CHAPEL PROGRAM Tells Large Audience of Students of His Travels and of People He has Met. Dr. John Ruskin, noted traveller and explorer, made a' most interest-ing talk on Thursday at Chapel period, taking as his theme, "Three Yean in Northern Greenland." Dr. Ruskin was introduced by Dr. Kephart of the School of Education, who stated that Dr. Ruskin is the grand nephew of the great John Ruskin with whom he lived for four years and of whom we all know. Thus when the speaker began his talk, the audience became immedi-ately interested and listened with delight and enthusiasm to what Dr. Ruskin had to say. Beginning his story of his voyage to Greenland, Dr. Ruskin stated that he was invited by a prominent man of Conneticut to take the trip. The boat was fitted out and the party of twelve set sail for the icy shores. Dr. Ruskin then gave a vivid de-scription of Greenland, its inhabi-tants, who are Eskimos and a general description of the three years spent on Greenland soil. The explorer said that on landing one is immediately confronted by a is immediately confronted by s number of Eskimo yachts, loaded with fur skins, and that if a traveller is so fortunate as to have with him a tin cup, a number of matches Or a watch and is willing to exchange any of these that the Eskimo will gladly "swap" for such articles as furs, which would probably sell in the U. S. for five hundred "dollars or more. The home of the Eskimo, as Dr. Ruskin described it, is a snow-hut The bed on which he sleeps is often made of snow, though some times fur skins are used.. Thus one would know that Greenland is not a very comfortable place to live, and as Dr. Ruskin said, is often made more uncomfortable because the Eskimo does not think of cleanliness. Dr. Ruskin said that he himself had to live for two yean and eight months without a bath, hair cut or a shave. (Continued on Page Three) |
