Hallowe'en spirits in all their
ghostly apparel- invaded the campus
Saturday night, when the sophomores
entertained the freshmen at a Hal-lowe'en
masquerade. They choose
as their place of rendezvous the
hockey field, which was very effec-tively
lighted by blinking Jack o'
lanterns and large camp fires.
At the central fire sat an aged
crone stirring her bubbling cauldron,
and mumbling'dire prophecies to all
who stopped there, while in the shad-ows
other witches and goblins lurked.
In a nearby tent, from which came
strains of weird music, oriental
maidens reclined. Here East met
West as heads bent over a crystal
ball in an attempt to glimpse the
future. An interpretative dance,
typical of the Orient, was given by
one of the young Turks, Margaret
Praytor, which was burlesqued by
Lottie Finch.
The guests were next invited into
the chamber of horrors, which, from
the sounds emitted, amply justified
its name. Just inside the entrance
of this tent, a ghost stood and ex-tended
her hand in greeting to each
new arrival who screamed as she felt
her hand grasped by fingers stiff and
icy-cold. She was then led into a
dark room where she was given a
seat and told to listen to a story.
It was one of a murdered man and
at different points in the story his
eyes, teeth, heart, skull, and finger-nails'
were passed around. The shrieks
and screams which followed would
have led one to believe that the actual
murder was taking place then and
there. Having by this time caught
the- proper spirit of Hallowe'en, they
were next led through a dim passage,
where spectres in the most grotes-que
shapes were fondling snakes and
worms, which they forced into the
hands of those who passed. Those
who survived were carried into the
chamber where Bluebeard's murder-ed
wives lay. In the glow of a
yellow light these appeared particu-larly
gruesome, while from an in-distinct
corner groans and sighs
came.
After a second ordeal of shaking
hands with the ghost at the door,
they rushed to the open, where cider
and ginger bread were served fa
true Hallowe'en style.
The whole party then returned to
the gymn, where the affair was turn-ed
into a dance.

The four literary societies, with
the assistance of the Quill Club, have
issued the .first number of Coraddi.
The Coraddi is a magazine of
forty-two pages with attractive cover
and departments. The cover design,
and the illustration for the editorial
page were drawn by Maurine Mc-
Masters. Brooks Johnson won the
Junior Shoppe ticket for the most
clever name for the humorous de-partment,
and' has drawn the car-toon
for this department
A number of stories, poems, and
sketches make up the content of the
magazine. Elizabeth Duffy has con-tributed
a poem, and a rousing
article on college spirit and self de-velopment.
"Rain Drop Sketches,"
and "Romance V Adventure" by
Kate Hall; a story, "Explanation,"
and a sketch, "Grey Sea," by Sam
Davis, add to the interest of the
magazine.
Two sketches, "The Comforts of
Crying," and "The Voice of Nature,"
and a poem were contributed by
Julia Blauvelt An interesting sketch,
"Now the Lid Comes Off," was writ-ten
by Elizabeth Duffy and Lisbeth
Parrott A "local color" story by
Jo Grimsley was unusually interest-ing.
Louise Farber contributed a
sketch, "Twilight," and Ethel Crew
another, entitled "Mr. Bagsby."
"The Egotistical Byron," was by
Lisbeth Parrott. Blanche Dellinger
contributed "The Mirror Mix-up,"
and a poem, "An Indian Bowl;" Mae
Graham "A Transient Dream," and
Maude Goodwin "A Quebec Sketch."
The poetry page contained poems
by Bertie Craig, and Marie H. Blair,
who was the first president of the
Quill Club.
Faculty members of the Quill Club
who have contributed to this issue
are W. R. Taylor, "Colleges Re-Col-leged;"
Charles B. Shaw, "Childe
Rolande Redivivus;" L. B. Hurley,
"A Lament;" and A. C. Hall, "Two
Rivers."
The staff of the Ceraddi this year
has as its aim to make the Coraddi
more representative of N. C. College
life, and believes in this way will
make the magazine interesting and
successful.

A. A. GETS CAMP
FOR STUDENT USE
POLLY DUFFY IS CHAIRMAN
The Y. W. C. A. is again to be
placed before the students in what is
hoped will be a vitally'functioning
manner in the discussion groups
which will begin on the night of
Wednesday, November 19. For the
eight weeks following that date,
these groups will meet on Wednes-day
nights from 7:45 to 8 o'clock
in various parts of the campus, and
will be held under trained student
leaders.
It has long been a tradition of the
college student to attend Bible study
classes on Wednesday night; these
group discussions on topics of per-sonal
and social problems will take
the place of the old Bible classes.
Proposed questions for discussion
are: "What basis do you have for
the religious beliefs which you
hold?" "What standards would you
advocate between men and women?"
"How does the present social order
in America measure up to the prin-ciples
of Jesus?" "Prayer—what
does it accomplish?" These topics
may be altered and additions will
probably be made to them.
Students will be given an oppor-tunity
to join classes whose chief
topic of discussion will be the one
in which they are most interested.
Slips for this purpose will be passed
around during the next week. A
committee, of which Esther Howard
is chairman, is at present working
to perfect the final plans for the
membership drive.
The discussion group project is to
be the biggest undertaking of the
Y. W. C. A. this year. Into this the
greatest amount of its energy will
go; for by this method it hopes to
function in promoting individual
thought on the campus. Other pro-jects
will be taken up during the

Of the "solid South" in giving its
majority vote to Davis in the vote
upon the presidential candidates
last Saturday. Davis polled 842
votes, Coolidge 106, and Lafollette
72.
The vote followed a short cam-paign
conducted by the International
Relations Club, which began with
the political speeches on November
29 at chapel hour. At that time
Polly Duffy defended the Davis
ticket; Mary Eliason, the Republi-can;
and Ethel Crew, the Progres-sive.
The speeches were parodies on
the usual campaign "bunkum" given
by political speakers.
A more serious campaign was
made through the Club in the post-ing
on the bulletin boards of ma-terial
from various magaiines and
other publications. Whether on not
these were read is an undecided ques-tion,
but efforts were at least made
towards making students give a
thoughful opinion of the candidates
and platforms of the three big poli-tical
parties of the country*
The vote was taken through bal-lots
distributed in the dining rooms,
by which method it was hoped that
all students might be reached. A
thousand students out of the sixteen
hundred enrolled cast their votes.
The long-talked-of camp for the
college is soon to be literally a part
of the college property. According
to a statement issued by Claude Ay-cock,
president of the Athletic As-sociation,
Dr. Foust is soon to pur-chase
a building, which was former-ly
a school house, for the use of the
students. The camp is situated
about six miles from Greensboro on
the Guilford College Road.
This camp will be used for the stu-dents
who complete the hundred
miles of hiking necessary for such a
trip. It is soon to be fitted up with
accomodations for sleeping and cook-fag.
A group of twelve students, ac-companied
by Miss Smith, of the De-partment
of Physical Education, and
Edwina Deans, hiking leader, are
spending the week-end at the camp.
Students are requested to give all
Meyer's trading stamps to the Ath-letic
Association, with which to pur-chase
supplies for the camp. Boxes
for this purpose are posted in the
various dormitories.

MISS FERRELL SPEAKS ON
CONCERT BY DoPACHMANN
"Choose a hobby for yourself, and
ride it," was Mr. A. C. Hall's advice
to the students at the regular chapel
hours on Monday and Tuesday.
"The spare time that the students
have after they have been to town,
done all of the other things they want
to do, and all that they have been
instructed to do should not be wast-ed,"
he said, "but might profitably
be spent fa the cultivation of a
hobby."
According to Mr. Hall, a hobby
makes one more interesting to him-self
and to others; it broadens his
outlook on life, and gives him some-thing
to think about in life, other
than his daily occupation.
"An avocation," he said, "is m
necessary as a vocation." It is, he
believes the thing that adds zest
and enthusiasm to the monotony of
everyday life.
He illustrated his point by say-ing
that many famous people are
famous because of their avocations.
Leonardo de Vinci was an eminent
scientist in his day, but we remem-ber
him for his superb paintings.
Benjamin Franklin was an inventor
and scientist, yet he wrote "Poor
Richard" purely for pleasure.
"Many of the college faculty have
hobbies that are worth-while," Mr.
"Mr. Jackson, vice-presi-
With plans for the annual in full
swing and the new scheme for the
general make-up nearing completion
the staff is enthusiastic over the
bright outlook. Plans point to the
best annual yet and though the plan
for the publication is a unique one
it is not to be disclosed before the
annuals are distributed. It promises
to be the most attractive to organi-zations
and classes alike, and especi-ally
to the Freshman and Sophomore
classes who have heretofore held the
least important and prominent places
in the annual.
Since the annual fee was not in-cluded
in the budget, many of the
students have neglected to pay for
their subscriptions and have conse-quently
greatly decreased the num-ber
of subscriptions expected. Fees
are still being collected until No-vember
15 at $6.50 each, after which
time they will be $5 until Christ-mas,
after which they will be 16.
Annual officials expect the complete
subscription list to include not less
than a thousand. Approximately
550 have been listed so far.
The staff is encouraged with the
great co-operation of the Greensboro
business people fa furnishing adver-tisements
and add their signatures to
the petition that the student body
patronize its advertisers. The list
of the advertisers is to be placed in
a prominent place on campus.
White's studio, New York, has the
contract for making all the annual
pictures. From former experiences
with this studio and from the repu-tation
which it holds the photographs
are expected to be excellent. The
binding is to be of the same type
as the one last year but with a differ-ent
color scheme. The art work,
features, and superlatives are to be
presented in an especially attractive
manner.
This publication will owe its ap-pearance
to a most competent and
well-qualified staff headed by Lois
Briggs, '25, editor-in-chief and in-cluding
Gertrude Shepard, business
manager; Line Tarleton, assistant
business manager; Nellie Irvin, pic-ture
editor; Maureen McMasters, art
editor; Mary Holland, organization
editor; Margaret Ray Patterson, lit-erary
editor; Fannie Northrop, class
editor; and Alice Cranmer, copy edi-tor.

COLLEGE ORCHESTRA WANTS
CAMPUS MUSICAL TALENT
Dames of the colonial period, gyp-sies,
Spaniards, robbers and1 people
of practically every nationality and
rank thronged campus walks Satur-day
night. Nor were they all bound
for the outdoor sophomore party but
turned toward the Adelphian hall
where members of that society and
their guests were entertained from
nine to twelve at a masquerade party,
the first of the society socials.
Both the Cornelian and Adelphian
halls, together with both committee
'rooms were thrown into one to ac-commodate
the large crowds. Orange
and black carried out the Hallowe'en
color scheme in window draperies,
pumkins, and favors. A further note
of the harvest consisted of shocks of
corn stalks around each pott, falling
leaves scattered over the floor, and
gates twined with ivy in the main
hall of Students' building, which
fenced off the central place for the
National orchestra. Kegs of cider,
fortune tellers tents, apple-bobbing
tubs, and apples suspended by strings
completed the decorations.
Margaret Feimster, society presi-dent,
Annie Elliot Lee and several
others met the guests at the door.
Polly Burton and Edith Everett as
pages announced each feature on the
program, the first of which was the
old fashioned square dance followed
later by the Virginia Reel. Further
dances included a Witches Dance by
Audrey Brenegar, Gladys Campbell,
Mary Parker Fryer, Gertrude Shep-herd
and Ruria Biggs; and an Apache
dance by Elizabeth Etheridge and
Marian Piatt. Both dances were
original in character and were well
carried out. Helen Hall and Mar-jorie
Bonitz in Pierrot and Pierette
costumes of black and white, under
a continual play of colored lights,
gave a charming dance among the
corn stalks.
Eloise Hannaman and J. B. Ford-ham
and Billie Reid and Elmer Turn-er
were the successful contestants in
the cake walk. Brooks Johnson and
Louise Farber were quite popular
fortune tellers and were rushed with
work throughout the evening. Fish-ing
for fortunes in peanut shells also
furnished another means of future-reading.
From the twelve most attractive
costumes chosen by judges, the one
worn by Miss Elliot was unanimously
acclaimed the most beautiful. The
eostume, which was her grandmoth-er's
wedding dress, was made of very
expensive materials and in the style
of the colonial period. Second prize
was given to Maureen McMasters who
Was typically Spanish in her flaring
red ornaments on a black back-ground.
Ginger bread and cider served as
refreshments were appropriate notes
in the party scheme.

OBSERVES PRINCIPLES OF ART
Presents Accurately aad la Perfect
Balance Human Body Both at
Rost aad la Action
The student body enjoyed an un-usual
privilege Monday evening, in
hearing Dr. Capart, the noted Egyp-tologist,
lecture on Egyptian Art.
Dr. Capart, who is the professor of
Egyptian history and art in the Uni-versity
of Leige, Belgium, is one of
a number of the lecturing professors
exhanged between Belgium and the
United States. The North Carolina
College is among the first American
institutions to hear Dr. Capart. He
is an authority on Egyptian art, hav-ing
made five expeditions to Egypt in
the study of this subject.
Dr. Capart gave his subject as
"Masterpieces of Egyptian Art." He
began his address with the state-ment
that Egyptian art observed the
principles of all art. He then turn-ed
to the field of architecture, in
which he showed the main lines of
structure, comparing its strength
and beauty with the more widely
appreciated Greek architecture. He
showed a slide of an elaborate door-way
of an illustration of the interior
carving and also the units of design
used in capitals and in borders.
By a variety of slides of animals,
birds, and fish, he showed that the
Egyptians understood animal forms,
and reproduced truly the actual mus-cular
and bone structure.
He then took up the sculpture of
the human figure, showing that the
actul human body in rest or action
was presented in perfect balance,
and in accurate proportions. As a
further proof of the greatness of
their art, he showed that in the great
art of the Egyptians the expression
was no longer primarily personal,
but bad become idealistic.
The beauty and quality of the art
as shown by the pictures, could not
fail to convince the audience that
there is much in Egyptian art which
has not been appreciated, and which
is worthy of the most careful con-sideration.

Mildred Doxoy Conducts Annual
Consecration Ceremony at Ves-per
Services Sunday Night
The annual Consecration service
took place at Vespers last Sun-day
night The purpose, as stated
by the president Mildred Doxey,
was to recognize and receive the old
and new members of the Y. W. C. A.
on our campus into the fellowship
of the great international organisa-tion
of Christian women.
She said that the students, fa sig-nifying
their desires to become mem-bers
of the Association, and assert-ing
their willingness to promote its
spirit of Christian friendliness, had
allied themselves with women of
nearly every nation.
The candle light ceremony was
especially impressive. Each student
was given a candle. Mildred Doxey
first lighted her large candle and
then those of the marshals. They,
fa turn, lighted the candles of the
students.
She explained that the lighting of
their candles was to symbolise the
lighting in their hearts of that light
which was manifest in Christ
"We pray that this light in our
hearts shall never go out but shall
be our guide through out our whole
lives," she said.
She stated that the reason for the
existence of the Y. W. C. A. is that
Christ's spirit may grow fa the
hearts of all mankind and finally
illumine the whole world. The large
candle was to symbolise the divine
light of Christ
She concluded with the words,
"The Lord is my Light and may Sal-vation,
of whom shall I fear? The
Lord is the strength of my life, of
whom shall I be afraid?"
Estelle Mendenhall gave as a part
of the service, a vocal selection,
"Dear Lord and Father of Man-
