WAMBAUGH DISCUSSES
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Disappointed That U. S. Did Not Be-come
Part. European Coun-trie.
Will Disarm
IS HOPEFUL OP SETTLEMENT
Miss Sarah Wambaugh, formerly a
member of the secretariat of the
League of NatioAs, gave an inter-esting
review of the work of that
organization Wednesday night when
she spoke under the auspices of the
committee on entertainment of the
college. Miss Wambaugh's subject
was "International Co-operation."
Miss Harriet Elliott, professor of
political science, introduced the
speaker to the faculty and students.
A large part of the speaker's hour
was taken up with a description of
the organization itself in its work-ings
at Geneva and the international
characters who had a part in the
work of it.
The representative from Czecho-
Slavakia, Benes, Miss Wambaugh
said, was probably the greatest figure
in the world today and was certainly
the most outstanding member of the
assembly. It was he who said in a
speech at the adoption of the pro-tocol
that "for the first time we have
decided to go on without America."
Miss Wambaugh was much disap-pointed
because of the failure of the
United States to become a part of
the assembly, but she felt that
Europe's greatest participation was
due to the fact that those countries
really remember the war. "When I
am over here," she stated, "I am
never sure that my audiences really
remember the war. I should like to
tell our senators that we are going
to suffer some day because we are
keeping ourselves disfranchised at
Geneva.
"We think that we have to bribe
European countries to disarm," con-tinued
Miss Wambaugh, "but they
are very anxious to disarm because
they need money for the building up
of industries and schools. The pioneer
spirit tnat pervaded America nas now
gone back to Europe, the countries
of which the pioneers in the field of
peace.
Miss Wambaugh thought the adop-tion
of the Protocol by the assembly
at Geneva one of the greatest mom-ents
that the world has ever achiev-ed.
She regretted the failure of Eng-land
to ratify, but understood that
the British could hardly take the step
of ratification as long as the United
States was completely outside of in-ternational
affairs.
"But tne Britisn are now trying to
find some solution," she went on. "As

WEIL PRESIDENT
SENIORS FOR '26
Elected as Leader of Class for Its
Last Year. Senior Hall
Motion Defeated
Polling a large majority of the
votes, Hilda Weil, of Goldsboro, was
elected president of the rising senior
class by the present juniors in a
meeting on Monday night
In Miss Weil the seniors have a
most capable leader whose ability at
managing has been well shown in the
success that she has made of the Jun-ior
Shoppe this year. As manager of
this, the big business enterprise of
the students, she has shown herself
a thoroughly capable leader, and it
is felt by all that she will continue
her success as guider of the des-tinies
of the class of '26 in its last
year.
The election of Miss Weil is a just
reward for continued service to her
class. In addition to an interest in
all class activities she has served as
a member of class basketball, base-ball,
and hockey teams.
Other candidates for the office
were Nana Jeter, Grey Fetter, Al-leine
Hopkins, and Elizabeth Gaskins.
At the regular meeting of the class
on Thursday, March 19, the candi-dates
were named by members of the
class, and the date for election
named.
At the same time senior hall was
finally discussed and almost unani-mously
defeated by the class.
CAROLINIAN FURNISHING
TEXT BOOK MATERIAL
Bnsinees Students Learn From Study
of Publication—Editors Edified
by Visit to Class
All unwittingly, the Carolinian edi-tors
have become the authors of a
text book. For some time Mr. For-ney's
classes have been transcribing
this publication into shorthand, and
from all accounts familiarity breeds
contempt in this case, at least.
Saturday morning two of the edi-tors
had the opportunity of being
present at one of the regular classes
and of seeing Mr. Forney's business
brigade on parade. The day's work
began with a series of kind, but firm
criticisms of the Carolinian by differ-ent
members of the class.
The students offered sane and un-biased
criticisms that .were both con-structive
and otherwise in content
The Carolinian's major sin, apparent-ly,
is one of omission: the commer-cials
feel that basketball games, pink
tea, and fossilized lecturers have de-prived
them of their alloted share of
the publicity. Then, too, one poor
girl, who was energetic enough to
read every section, claims to have
been duped by the moving picture
advertisements that are frequently,
we acknowledge, hopelessly out of
date. The general working vocabu-lary
of the whole staff came in for
a generous share of the criti-cism,
although several members
of the class confessed that they had
learned many new words through the
medium of this paper.
After having given the Carolinian
a thorough spanking, Mr. Forney sent
his prize shorthand crop to the board.
The editors were trusted with Mr.
Forney's gold watch while a series
of short speed tests were given. The
class averaged about one hundred
thirty-five words to the minute. After
seeing them in action, one cannot
blame their instructor for wanting
to show them off. Their work was
commendable, both from the stand-potn
of speed and of neatness.
While other shorthand tests were
in order, the editors had an oppor-tunity
to inspect some of the type-written
work of the class. There
were several grades of work among
the collection of papers that were
exhibited. The majority of the let-ters
showed beautiful form and pre-sented
a very pleasing appearance
to the eye; the most exacting busi-ness
man would feel confident about
sending them fom his office. Other
specimens were very comfortable
looking and carried a rather happy-go-
lucky air about them. There were
one or two that could have easily
passed for the work of a Carolinian
reporter.
After collecting his watch, Mr.
Forney told his visitors that the show
was over, for that particular time,
but he invited them to return Mon-day
morning to watch the world's
champion speed typist exhibit his
brute strength.
o
EASTER HOLIDAYS HERALDED
BY STUDENTS AS NEXT BIG
EVENT ON N. C. C. W. CAMPUS
Every one has begun to count the
days until the Easter holidays and
it has been rumored that some even
have it figured down to the minutes.
April the 8th marks the beginning
of this great event, at which time
will be seen spring-clad figures with
their huge suit-cases and hat-boxes
ready to depart for their respective
homes or that of friends.
And let us stop here to say a word
about the above suit-cases. Something
seems to tell us that they are a bit
lighter than the girls are planning for
them to be upon returning. May we
enquire if the owners are planning to
startle the campus with new clothes
or better still to return with enough
food to satisfy that after-holiday ap-petite
that one always has?
The girls that are to remain on
the campus are making such great
plans for Easter week that we are
almost tempted to stay ourselves.
They are expecting to have a little
house party all their own over in
South Spencer and have planned
quite a few unusual events. What
will be the state of our campus when
we return? There—we've gone and
mentioned that thing that must hap-pen—
the return—well, don't forget
to meet us here April the 16th!
DR. SMART SPEAKS ON
CHRISTIAN ESSENTIALS
Says Students are Trying to Learn
Fundamental Laws In Order
to Co-operate With God
GIVES SERIES OF THREE TALKS
"Christian Essentials" was the
topic taken by Dr. Aiken Smart,
Dean of the School of Theology of
Emory University, for a series of
three lectures at the college on last
Sunday and Monday.
Sunday Morning;
The complexity of modern life and
the relative difficulty of finding God
was the keynote of Dr. Smart's talk
on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.
He stressed the fact that in the
old days God was easy to find, be-cause
man soon came to the limit of
his knowledge. The good and bad
things that came to him were the
result of the acts of an arbitrary
God and were to be had through sac-rifices
to that God.
'Today we do not do things that
way," said the speaker. "We know
that God works through fixed laws
of nature, and the phenomena of
Nature are no longer ascribed to the
arbitrariness of God. We know that
things happen by law, and by making
use of knowledge we can make things
happen that people once thought hap-pened
through the will of God in-voked
in sacrifice."
"This discovery of things happen-ing
through natural laws rather than
through an arbitrary God has had
a tremendous effect on our religious
thinking," continued Dr. Smart. "If
there is no need of God to make
things happen in Nature, why have
one?"
He answered his own question in
the statement that it was God who
had put these laws to work, and that
He is in the things upon which life
depends rather than in the freakish
things of life.
"The earth declares the glory of
God," he concluded. "The pity of it
is that many of us live as if there
were no God when there are evi-dences
of Him all around us."
Vespers
Dr. Smart took as his text for the
talk at Sunday's Vesper services the
verses from Corinthians in which
Paul said: "I have suffered the loss
of all things that I might know Him
and the power of His resurrection,"
and "I am pressing on that I might
know Christ"
"What was Jesus' interpretation of
success and was Jesus a successful
man?" was asked by Dr. Smart He
answered it by saying that accord-ing
to the interpretation of success
in the world of today, Jesus made
the most collossal failure of life. But
be stressed that Jesus really made
the most supreme success of life ever
made.
Dr. Smart stated that for every
one person who does not believe in
the divinity of Christ, there are ten
who do not believe in the humanism
of Christ

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
GIVEN BY EMORY CLUB
Variety of Numbers of Popular, Jazz,
and Classical Numbers Pleases
Fair Sized Audience
The Emory University Glee Club,
appearing at the college under the
auspices of the senior class on Fri-day
evening, entirely pleased a fair-ly
large audience with both the vocal
and instrumental numbers of a pro-gram
that combined classical, jazz,
and popular music in an excellent en-tertainment.
From a program that was uni-formly
good, as was this, it is hard
to select the numbers most appre-ciated.
However, in this category,
"All Alone," sung by James Stiles
as an encore, should most certain-ly
be mentioned. His personality and
clear pleasing voice have made this
popular number more popular than
ever at the college. Mr. Stiles' ren-dition
of "Sylvia," by Speakes, and
"The Garden of Tomorrow" also gain-ed
generous applause.
"Catiline, a Lie of Ancient Rome,"
by Gordon Watson, a member of the
orchestra, was thoroughly enjoyed,
in spite of its being a "silly noth-ing."
It was well acted by the whole
cast. Euclin Reeves, as Cleopatra,
and George Watson, as Catiline, be-ing
especially good. The number
was a skit on life in Rome that was
compounded of some real wit, a large
number of anachronisms that were
absurdly ludicrous, impossibly funny
incidents, and some excellent acting.
Three negro spirituals added much
to the program. They were, more-over,
well sung and many times one
caught the feeling and rhythm of
them as sung by the negroes. George
C. Baker, Jr., who sang the solo
parts, contributed much to that feel-ing
by his clear voice. The spirituals
rendered by the club are: "Couldn't
Hear Nobody Pray," "Good News,"
and "All God's Chilluns," the last
as an encore.
The entire club rendered in a
most commendable manner "Now
Let Ev'ry Tongue Adore Thee," by
Bach; "Orgia," by Meyerbeer, "Drink
to Me Only With Thine Eyes;" and
"Drake's Drum." The rhythm of
"Orgia" was especially pleasing. As
an encore they gave "Laughing," a
number which sent the entire audi-ence
into gales of laughter.
Dignity was given to the program
in excellent renderings of "Lucia,"
by Donizatti," by the orchestra, and
of "Adagio," by Beethoven, by a
trio composed of cello, piano, and
violin.
A jazz band livened the program
with some syncopated harmony
known on the program as "Inter-ludes."
Musical comedy was offered
in "Excerpts from Pinafore," by Gil-bert
Sullivan, which was rendered by
Piano Recital Is Given
By Miss Lois Ferrell
Friday chapel hour was most de-lightfully
filled by a recital by Miss
Mary Lois Ferrell, pianist. The' audi-ence
manifested enjoyment of each
number, the most appealing being,
perhaps, Chopin's Nocturne in F
sharp major. Miss Ferrell displayed
marked dexterity of style and tech-nique,
besides her charming inter-pretation.
Miss Furminger assisted
Miss Ferrell in the last number of
the program which was climatic in
effect. The pieces played were as
follows:
Pastorale; Scarlitti.
Cappriccio; Scarlitti.
Intermezzo in E Flat major;
Brahms.
Intermezzo in B Flat major;
Brahms.
Nocturne in F Sharp major; Chop-in.
Concerto in D minor; Rubenstein.

Orchestral parts played by Miss
Furminger.

TANGORA, CHAMPION SPEED
TYPIST, GIVES EXHIBITION
Types at Rate of 134 Words Per
Minute, a Speed Equalled in
Shorthand by Students
Mr. Albert Tangora, the world's
champion speed typist, gave a dem-onstration
before the commercial
class in the shorthand room Monday
morning.
Mr. Tangora, who has a record of
one hundred thirty-four words per
minute for one hour, won his title
last fall in a contest held by the Un-derwood
Typewriter Co. For every
error in his test forfeit of ten words
was made.
In explaining his particular sys-tem,
the champion declared that the
secret of his success lay in the dex-terity
of his fingers. The lightning
speed with which he was able to in-sert
fresh sheets of paper into the
machine, losing scarcely any time,
was the envy of all who saw him.
During one test Mr. Tangora add-ed
four columns of figures, five deep,
and gave the total, typing all the
while at the rate of a hundred thirty-five
words per minnte..
After the demonstration was over,
Mr. Forney challenged the champion
to race with his shorhand class. The
students came out with as many
words in shorthand as Mr. Tangora
had in type.

MISS DANSDILL
TALKS ON HEALTH
ELABORATE AFFAIR
Emphasises Importance of Mental
and Spiritual as Wall as
Physical Health
Miss Dansdill, director of Health
education in the state, was speaker
at chapel exercises on Monday and
Tuesday of this week, having as her
subject "The Trinity of Health."
"Health," said the speaker, "means
not just physical health but also men-tal
and spiritual. This trinity is the
greatest thing that you will be able
to get out of college."
"If, after you leave the college,"
continued Miss Dansdill, "you are
able to teach this same trinity to
even a part of the boys and girls
you teach, you will have given them
a priceless thing that they will be
able to carry one with them through
life."
As the "health chores," which she
stressed as important in keeping fit
Miss Dansdill talked for a few min-utes
on good food, properly eaten at
the proper time, drinking water, ade-quate
sleep taken regularly, both
mental and physical recreation and
rest. She also mentioned posture and
baths, but did not discuss them be-cause
of lack of time.
"Nothing else in life is quite so
important as health, keeping the
trinity in mind, because everything
else in life depends on it" concluded
the speaker.
Miss Dansdill was introduced by
Dr. Gove.
Following the talk Iredell Brinn
sang "By the Waters of Babylon."

Social Science Teachers
Will Meet at University
A conference of the Southern
Social Science Teachers is to be held
at Chapel Hill, April 3 and 4. The
Conference will have three general
features. The first and most impor-tant
feature will be the practical dis-cussion
by all present, looking to-ward
a definite program of research
in the United States. Reports will be
made on a number of projects now
being carried on.
The second feature will be the
luncheon, dinner, and smoker when
representatives of the various uni-versities
extend greetings to the
Conference, and. discuss personal
matters.
The third feature will be the
formal addresses on Friday and Sat-urday
evenings by William Allen
White . His general subject will be
"The Cycle of Cathay," a study of
modern American social currents. He
will make a third address Sunday
evening and as many as can are in-vited
to say to hear it
During the Conference opportunity
will be given the delegates to visit
the various departments of the Uni-versity.
TWO BANQUETS NECESSARY
The members of the junior class
were hostesses to the seniors at an
elaborate and lovely banquet on Sat-urday
night in West and South din-ing
halls. Grey Fetter presided as
toastmistress in West, while Bertie
Craig served in this capacity in
South.
Both Miss Craig and Miss Fetter
wore lovely Spanish costumes. Miss
Craig wore a costume of black silk,
embroidered in gold, and a flaming
red shawl, in her hair was a large
comb, over which a beautiful lace
mantilla was draped. Miss Fetter's
dress was of gold cloth embroidered
in rose and orange, and she wore a
rose shawl, and a spangled mantilla
over a gold comb.
The dining rooms had lost their
every day appearance of usefulness,
and were decorated as Spanish halls
made ready for a fiesta. Long wisps
of Spanish moss, and colored papers
on the lights, together with palms,
and colored flowers helped to carry
out the effect
Miniature castles with many tur-rets
were on each table. Place cards
were lovely, hand-painted Spanish
ladies; favors consisted of dainty
hand-painted compacts for the girls
and red carnations for the men.
It was the first time that a ban-quet
has ever been given in two din-ing
halls, but it was necessary to
do this on account of the large num-ber
of guests present The only dif-ference
in the two banquets, how-ever,
was in the toasters and those
who responded.
In West dining hall Frances Har-rison
toasted the classes, and Nancy
Little, Ernestine Welton, and Fannie
Northrop, responded; Edith Temple-ton
toasted the men and J. M. Tyler,
of Greensboro, responded; Mildred
Little toasted the faculty, to which
Mr. W. C. Jackson responded. Mary
Johnston, of Goldsboro toasted the
college.
In South dining room, Georgia
Kirkpatrick toasted the faculty and
Miss Coit responded; Nan Jeter
toasted the classes, and Nannie Earle,
Tempie Williams, and Kate Caldwell
responded; Elizabeth Gaskins toasted
the men, and T. P. Gholson, of Hen-derson,
responded; Martha Neal Dea-ton
toasted the college. All the

MAJORS SUCCUMB
TO SLIGHT KICK
Hard Fought Game Ends in 24 to
23 Score. Lady Maud Continues
to Hold Full Sway
Lady Maud answered the challenge
of the Physical Education majors
with its usual kick, though with a
little less force than before, at
chapel time on Wednesday when the
champion Aletheians defeated the
Majors 24-23.
The game began with a rush on
the part of the Majors, who piled up
several shots before the Aletheians
began to shoot for tallies. However,
when they did begin they began in
earnest, making the score at the end
of the first half, 14-14.
The second half continued the ex-citement
and close playing, the Ale-theians
first running up the score,
and the Majors then coming up to it
until there was but a single point
difference.
The game was fast throughout, fea-turing
the fast and sure pass work
of the Majors and the accurate shoot-ing
of the forwards of their oppon-ents.
The Majors were somewhst
handicapped by the lack of accuracy
of their forwards, though both Henry
and Brown made some excellent
shots. Their inaccuracy might well
be due to the close guarding of the
Aletheian defense, both Buie and
