MISS SCURLOCK GIVES LECTURE BEFORE Y.W.C.A. Basis of Living Is Promotion of Fullest Life Possible Lecturer Says AGE CHANGES STANDARDS Speaker Advises Y. W. C. A. As Means of Solving Life's Problems "What Girls Want to Know," was tle subject of an interesting lecture g1ven by Miss Stella Scurlock before t e Y.W.C.A. last night. 4"The things girls want to know," be n Miss Scurlock, "are how are yo ing to discover your life work? How n a girl b6 more charming? Charm acquired through manners, conve -- . ation ability, tone of voice, dress, and ttitude toward other people. What C4re the best.relations between modera 4nen and women? All these things," 7ontinued Miss Scurlock, "and many *thers, colleges throughout the country are using the Y.W.C.A. to find out. We must have a basis to decide right an I wrong. We were all brought up with the idea that there was a category of "rights" and a category of "wrongs." As we grow older, we realized that sometimes it might be wrong to go to church or to say our prayers. It de pends entirely upon the circumstances. It may sometimes be right to tell a li. A physician told me a short while ago that often she didn't tell her patients the truth about their condition becaust they. need everything possible in thei: favor to fight for their liVes. Then we reduce what we have said to this: noth ing is right or wrong within itself ; it depends upon the circumstances. Love is a beautiful and holy thing, but there are times when it should be curbed." Using the fifth chapter of Matthew and the second chapter of Mark, Miss Scurlock pointed out numerous inci dents when Jesus disagreed with the teachings of his church, building a new doctrine, and using as a basis for the doctrine a consideration for purpose rather than law. "Let this be the test of our decision of whether a thing is right or wrong: It is creative for the most people ? Creighton Miller says 'what gives the most growth to me, my family, and to society is right.' Dr. Schweitzer, -i noted surgeon, musician and authority on philisophy says the basis of ethics is that we ought to live treating all life with the same reverence with which w, treat ourselves. This, he says, necessi tates making decisions with each il dividual new, fresh, original, from moment to moment. Girls ought not to say "I would not pet;" rather they should say "under certain circum stances I might pet." Miss Scurlock further said that the basis of living is summed up in Jesus' words when he said "I come that they might have life, and have it to the fillf est." This purpose of Jesus is the moat to of the Y.W.C.A.'s. "At Carolina," concluded Miss Sco'r lock. "we want to try to make t"is .come true by having groups of girls to investigate these questions that are of tremendous importance to young girlr: how to be charming; how to discover my life work ; wvhat is the meaming of life. And we shall succeed becuase these are subjects in which every girl is interested." 'tdlthe dcolpchingm1eeredptcrorewvt Y.W. Compliments Miss Stella Scurlock Traveling Secretary of Y.W.C.A.

Miss Scur lock, who is a native of N. Y., is travel ing secretary for the Y.W.C.A., and was in Columbia to be present at the mleeting of the college Y.W. at which .she was an important speaker.

The only speech was an State Convention of Y.W.'s at Laf-a-Lot Dr. Uphaus and Misses Scurlock and Grauel Are Chief Speakers The state convention of the Y.W.C.A. was held at camn Laf-aLot last week. Friday through Sunday. Thirty-five girls were present, representing eight colleges in the state. The lWincipal speakers were: Dr. W. E. Uphaus of Nashviile, Tenn.; Miss Stella Scurlock of N. Y.; and Miss Claire Grauel, sec retary of the Y.W.C..A. at Winthrop College. The convention was held in the fortri problems that are prevalent in all col ;eges. The theme of the convention of groups which informally discussed was finding a channel through which one may direct his life purposes. One of the chief pleasures of the con vention is attributed to S. B. Lanham, who furnished most excellent meals for the girls. Thanks are also given to the city Y.W.C.A. for their kindness in of fering camp Laf-a-Lot for the meeting. There was no definite agreement as to where the next meeting would be, but most probably the invitation to meet with the boys will be accepted. Two of the delegates were elected to attend the boys' convention which meets in January. - USC "A Doll's House" to Be at Town Theatre Mr. Wlha' Dean, Director, Is Not Yet Ready to Announce Personnel "A Doll's House" one of the most famous dramas of Henrik Ibsen is to be the next stage society play. The first reading rehearsal was held Wednesday night and Mr. William Dean announces that the cast is corn plete. although he is not ready yet to announce the personnel, since the cast ing at this early date amounts to no more than a try-out for each indivi dual member. If no changes are made however, this play will have one of th strongest casts ever assembled on the Town theater stage. since it includes manny prominent people and stars af other 'stage society productions. This is probably the most serious and lifficult play that has been produced by the stage society. Mr. Dean is very enthusiastic over this production. He is extremely fond of Ibsen and has put much study on his dramas, especially "A Doll's House.". He hopes to have it ready before the month is out and already arrangements are being niad, to take it to two nearby towns. Meeting of Women's Athletic Council Mon. Miss Smith Plans to Put Respon sibility for Co-ed Athletics on Girls Themselves The first meeting of the council of the Womans Athletic Association met in Melton Hall last Monday. The pur pose of the meeting was to discuss hon or points and the keeping of training. Miss Smith, director of womans ath letics. opened the meeting by saying that she was no longer responsible for the success of co-ed athletics in that she wished to leave it mainly with the girls and to act as an advisor to them, rather than as instructor. She stressed the importance of the girls taking the initative, and making of athletics what they will. At the meeting of the association on Monday afternoon in Davis College. the managers of baseball, basketball. hock ey, track. hiking andl indoor meet will each give a stunt. A new day has dawned on the canmpus for co-ed athletics; the idea of sports has changed. No longer does a girl take gym because it is a requirement but because it is a- pleasure. Miss Smith has made wonderful progress along these lines, so that at present, a girl is enabled to take just the form of gym that appeals to her most, and that she finds thoroughly enjoyable. And no longer is athletics a course that only very talented girls can take; with so many courses open, there is a form ->r gym that will appeal to every type of girl at Carolina. -usc "Let's get hitched."
