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."

Y.W. Compliments
Miss Stella Scurlock
Traveling Secretary of Y.W.C.A.
Speaks Informally at Banquet
Tendered Her
Thle cabinet and advisory board of the
Y.W.C.A. compiimented Miss Stella
Scurlock with a banquet at Flinn Hall
on Tuesday night at 7 p. nm. 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 banquet room was beautifully dec
orated in blue and white, with many blue
andl white candies burning. The rose
buds which were used for decorating
were afterwards sent to Dr. Murchison,
who was unable to attend, owing to his
recent accident. 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.

"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.
