"Pew times in the history of the
world has so much universal suffer-ing
been experienced, suffering not
only of body but more suffering of
mind and spirit," was the statement
made by Conrad Hoffman at chapel
this week. The only way to relieve
this situation toward which so many
of our outstanding statesmen are
looking with such trembling, fore-boding
of ill anl fear, is thru the
Student Relief Fund, Mr. Hoffman
added. This Fund is a democratiz-ing
fund, a fund to help promote in-ternational
good will, a fund for the
feeding of hungry souls and of
hungry bodies, and a fund from the
idea of which and the sentiment of
which may grow a Student League
of Nations in the future.
Conrad Hoffman is a man who is
well versed in existing condition in
the countries of Europe, especially
among the students in these coun-tries.
For three years Director of
the Foreign Student Relief Fund, he
has his office in Geneva, Switzer-land.
He has traveled throughout
the length and breadth of Europe
and studied student conditions in all
of its countries. For these reasons
Mr. Hoffman's talks were of especial
interest to the students of the col-lege.
But even with all his experience
and first-hand information, Mr. Hoff-man
said that he rrould be unwilling
to risk a prediction, of the outcome
of the coming winter for the people
i of many of the European countries
and especially for the students of
these countries. Mr. Hoffman's talk
was for the most part as follows:
For thousands of European people
the coming winter brings a situation
of hopelessness, gloom and dejection.
The college students and professors
are the most acute sufferers, and the
problem Mr. Conrad wished to pre-sent
was the problem of aid for
these students. In behalf of these
students he expressed to us the
deepest gratitude for the aid which
we have contributed in previous
years.
In a brief review of the condi-tions
in several of the European
countries, Mr. Hoffman gave the fol-lowing
report: Russia has not only
suffered for her losses in the war,
the revolution which followed, and
the Soviet rule but also from famines
the past two years. The worst suf-ferers
in Russia, as in all other
countries, are the professors and stu-dents.
The yearly salary of a pro-fesor
is thirteen dollars. There are
150,000 students in Russia, clamor-ing
and crowding around the supply
kitchens for the waste. The regime
in power in that country is trying
to exterminate all the religious in-continued

BISHOP PAUL JONES
TO SPEAK AT VESPER
Advocate* Bringing of World Peace
by a Literal Application of
, Brotherly Love
IS POWERFUL SPEAKER
The Clasical Club, with its forty-six
new members, began work Tues-day
night. A remarkable interest in
the classics and "literature enlight-enment"
is already being evidenced
in the organization which is being
headed this year by Blanche Dell-inger
of the Junior Class. Invita-tions,
tiny scrolls with purple and
flame ribbon, read as follows:
Appollo, patronus,
Classici collegii,
Te invitat,
proficiscere
Ad montem Olympicum.
Iter incipiat
in Curry Capella.
Hora secunda noctis
ante ditm XVII Kal. Novembris
MCMXXIII
The first part of the program con-sisted
of tableaux and selections of
poetry which were read by Mary
Wood Wolff. Ernestine Shipp, wear-ing
the olive wreath and holding a
lyre and olive branch, represented
Apollo. The Muses with their charac-teristic
emblems grouped themselves,
one by one, around Apollo. These
were represented by Eudora Youngi-ner
as Melpomene, Blanche Boyd as
Clio, Winnie Moore as Euterpe,
Thayer Sink as Thalia, Gladys Baker
as Wiania, Myrtle Ellen LaBarr as
Polyhymnia, Martha Stack as Terpsi-chore.
Dolores Harrison as Calliope,
and Bessie Noble as Erator. Kather-ine
Grantham posed as Diana, the
Huntress, and Ethel Midyette as
Vesta. Aurora, goddess of the
Dawn, was represented by Alene
Hopkins in the "bright robes of
morning."
A conference of the gods and god-desses
on Mt. Olmypus had as its
problem the disinterest in the study
of the classic myths and literature.
Jupiter and the various deities as-sembled,
and accepted Apollo's sug-gestion,
the cooperation of the earth
people themselves in the solution of
the problem. Then new members,
designated as "mortals," were invited
to assist the gods who patronize
learning, wisdom, and the fine arts.
They were directed by Effie Taylor,
as Mecury, to sign their names in
the "book of the ages," held by Clio,
muse of history. A charming little
cupid, Jessie. Edwards, presented
each with a candle to be lighted at
the fire of Hope, handmaiden of the
new made gods, whom Mattie Erma
Edwards, vice president of the club,
represented. Passing by Apollo and
the Muses, each new members re-ceived
the injunction "alere flam-man,"
spoken by their patron.
To complete the "immortaliza-tion"
of the new members, nectar
(punch) was served after the ad-journment
of the gods. Artistic

CAMPERS ENJOY THRILLING
WEEK-END AT KIMESVILLE
A jolly bunch of campers it was
that left the college Saturday after-noon
for Kimesville, where a lodge
near an old deserted mill housed
them over night It wasn't Miss
"Mac's"' fault that the truck got
lost—she wasn't driving, and cer-tainly
it wasn't the driver's—he was
only following Miss "Mac's" direc-tons.
But camp finally found itself,
and there was no more trouble on
that score. The truck was unloaded,
squads assigned their various duties,
and a Victrola started; then of
course a dance followed. After a
supper of weinies, cocoa, potato
chips, and other good things, stunts
were the order of the evening.
And then came—oh, that 'possum
hunt! In the pale light of a new
moor, with many dogs eager for the
fray; the party started out through
the woods, across the fields. In
almost no' time the dogs set up a
terrific noise, and then a 'possum
was discovered away up in a tree,
and many of the girls saw their first
'possum caught. Going back there
were more fences jumped, and
caught on, and more pistols shot.
Sunday night at Vespers Bishop
Paul Jones of Wilkes Barre, Pa.,
will speak to the faculty and
students. His subject is the Fel-lowship
of Reconciliation.
Bishop Jones is a graduate of Yale
University and also of the Episcopal
Seminary at Cambridge, Mass. He
has worked for a number of years
in the Episcopal Church, having been
at one time bishop in Utah. g
-For the past few years he has
been secretary of the Fellowship of
Reconcilliation, an organization
which presents Christianity, as a
common ground for all men and
which seeks a literal application in
every day life of the principles of
Jesus Christ.
Bishop Jones' talk will concern it-self
with the principles of this
society, and he will bring before his
audience the importance of love as
the basis of pecae. It is his pur-pose
to show that it is only through
God's power of Love, shown in Jesus,
working through men and women,
that social injustice, war, and every
other thing of evil can be overcome.
As potential teacher the students
can do much to spread the propa-ganda
of this organization because
the work of the teacher is that of
cooperation with the group. It is
natural that she has influences upon
that group in which she moves;there-fore,
if she has incorporated the
right principles, she may have a
great influence of good upon her
associates and pupils.
The college feels that its is very
fortunate in having Bishop Jones
speak here at this time.
The extension courses offered by
the North Carolina College for
Women to the people of Greensboro
and of Guilfrod County in general
have been announced by W. H.
Livers, director of the extension
department. These courses have been
planned in each case, according to
to the director, to meet a definite
demand. They are open to both men
and women, and carry college credit
when successfully completed. Teach-ers
who wish to raise the standard
of their certificates, and students
and teachers who wish to secure
college credit towards a degree, as
well as citizens at large are invited
to join these classes. Already a
number of Greensboro club women
have enrolled for study in several of
the subjects, and it is hoped that
many others will join.
All classes will be taught at the
Greensboro High School. They will
meet once each week at 7:30 in the
evening and last for a period of one
hour an forty-five minutes. Each
course will extend through twenty-five
weeks, and all work successfully
done will receive college credit of
three hours. In connection with the
work there is a registration fee of
$5.00 per course. This is the only
cost entailed, except that those who
enroll will be expected to purchase
the necessary books and such
material as the instructor requires.
Although there have been requests
for each course offered, unless as
many as ten students enroll in each
subject the extension department

TRAINING RULES GO
INTO EFFECT OCT. 28
Hiker* Required to go in Training
as well as Tho.e Who are
Team Aspirants
The camp was reached when Sunday
morning was breaking with no casu-alties,
except for a few, bruises and
scratches. After another supper was
indulged in, the girls went to sleep
almost wherever they found them-selves,
and as a result,' house, porch,
and yard was full of sleeping girls.
Not until nine o'clock was camp alive
again. When breakfast was over—
flapjacks!—it was time for dinner,
which was prepared immediately.
Some girls found time to go in swim-ming,
while others tried their skill
at pitching horse shoes. And then,
to the sound (could it be called
music?) of "My Name is Jack John-son,"
and "Round the Corner," the
twenty girls managed to get home
without losing their way.
Those enjoying the trip were:
Loula Woody, Susie Roberts, Georgia
Kirkpatrtck, Kathleen Windley, Mar-garet
Bridges, Sarah Wall Griggs,
Annie Hornaday, Ethel Crewe, Alice
Harrold, Ethel Baum, Cleo Mitchell,
Helen Anderson, Evelyn Pope, Ethel
Watson, Virginia Smith, Martha
Hamilton, Edna Bell, Brooks John-son,
and Miss MacDonald.
Training regulations go into ef-fect
Sunday, October 28th. All those
who are intending to try out for
class teams in hockey, or are doing
fall hiking must observe these rules
and are asked to get familiar with
them immediately, since no one can
make a team regardless of her ability,
unless rules are kept During the
month of training each person is
allowed two cuts. A cut is one de-parture
from one rule. The rule,
which reads, "eat nothing between
peals except fruit, nuts, and milk;
no candy except for dessert," needs
explanation. Candy can be eaten as
dessert only when taken within fif-teen
minutes after meal is finished.
Mimeographed slips containing
training rules may be obtained from
the respective class hockey managers,
and house hiking leaders. Each
week's report ends on Saturday
night and must be handed in by the
following Sunday night tp these same
girls. Hockey leaders from the
various classes are:

SKILLED INTERPRETATION
The Chapel program .on Friday,
October 19, was given by Mr. George
M. Thompson, organist. He rendered
the following program:
1. Festival March in D Major,
Smart
The composer of this march,
Henry Smart (1818-1879), was one
of the most famous English concert
organists of his time. He has written
hundreds or compositions for the
organ—one of the most beautiful of
all being this concert march.
2. a. In summer, Charles A.
Stebbins.
Whether 'tis better to climb a
greasy pole, ride the most ferocious
of all animals, the venerable goat,
hear the rattle of human bones, or
to be kicked by Lady Maud—that's
the question.
Never has any question loomed up
more unsolvable than this, when
Wednseday afternoon five hundred
or so Freshmen gathered at chapel,
presumably to meet Mr. Jackson.
Only a few wise heads dared
hazard the guess that the meeting
might be two-fold in its object.
When the invitations from the
Adelphian, Aletheian, Cornelian and
Dikean ' societies were extended,
many were the effects which were
registered on the faces of the mem-bers
elect. Shouts of fulfilled hopes,
of "I told you so," and occasionally
a tried-to-be-hidden groan of disap-pointment
all had their place in the
demonstration.
Old Aletheians, Dikeans, Adel-phians
and Cornelians, learning of
the purpose of the Freshmen meet-ing
at their own respective meetings,
collected in crowds around the en-trance
of the auditorium to welcome
the new members, who had to walk
through the double line, which the
old girls formed across the street
Red and gold, blue and gold, green
and gold, and red, blue and gold
were flaunted alike by old and new.
In the dining room the cele-bration
was carried on. The tables
were festooned with society colors
and cardboard mules and goats took
unprecedented position in the center.
The invitations requested that the
new girls, who had been elected into
the different societies, present them-selves
for initiation on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights of next week. Initiations
come in the following order: Alethe-ian,
Dikean, Adelphian and Cor-nelian.

QUILL CLUB AGAIN
ENTERS LIMELIGHT
Sadler, Smith and Davit Elected as
Officers. New Members are
Selected
(Continued on Page Three)
The Quill Club had its first regular
meeting Friday evening. At this
meeting the club was re-organized,
officers elected, and three members
chosen.
Irma Lee Sadler was elected presi-dent
of the Club. Miss Sadler is
editor-in-chief of the Coraddi, the
College magazine, and is generally
recognised as one of the most
literary girls and best executives of
the student body. The Vice Presi-dent
is Linda Smith, who is also
prominent in the literary world on
the campus. Sam Davis was elected
Secretary and Treasurer as a recog-nition
of her interest in the field of
letters and her general ability and
enthusiasm in the work of the Club.
Loula Woody and Mary Green, of
the Senior Class, and Mr. J. Arthur
Dunn, of the English faculty, were
chosen as new members of the Club.
Their initiation is set for October
10th.
The Quill Club is composed of not
more than twenty members of the
Junior and Senior classes, who
through work on the College annual,
magazine or newspaper, or through
exceptionally good work in English
have shown particular interest and
ability in writing. The Club was
organised in the fall of 1921. Its
purpose is to bring together those
persons who appreciate good litera-ture,
and thus stimulate them to
original composition.
