Eight Chosen For Anual Beauty Section U Volume XXXJ No. 23 Smith Shows Honor Ideals Stressing the fact that Carolina stu dents should accept the honor code both as a principle of living and as an ideal to defend, Dr. Ellison M. Smith, of Furman University, spoke before the student body Wednesday morn ing in 'observance of Carolina's third annual honor day. While the Uni versity must be regarded as a great disseminator of knowledge, its prime objective is to instill honor in the lives of its students, Dr. Smith said. At the same meeting the student body gave a rising vote of apprecia tion to President J. Rion McKissick for his unselfish service to the Uni versity during the last two years. Ted Ninestein. president of K. S. K., intro (Iuced the motion. Bill Overton, chairman of the honor council, in opening the meeting, said that the purpose of the gathering was "to focus the attention of the students and faculty upon the honor principle, and upon the part that each of us must play to make it a force in our lives." He then presented the newly elected honor council and announced that Andrew Marion, rising junior from York, is next chairman. Other new members of the honor council who were elected last week are: Rannah Heyward, Ray Overton, Bratton Davis, Charles Manning, and Currie MacArthur. Calling his speech "The Honor Con tinuum," Dr. Smith spoke of the honor principle as a heritage from the past." It is ours for the present, it is ours to hold in trust, to keep, to safeguard, and to transmit to those who shall follow. The honor principle still be- I longs to Harper, Legare, McDuffie, I and Wade Hampton-spirit of their spirit, it must live as long as their t memory lives." 1 Shifting the emphasis of his speech v t" he aorbjtiefedc t, )r. Smith said that we must reaize t that emotional and intellectual develop ment both are the business of a uni- ( versity. In emotional development , both proper attitudes and proper con- t duct must be realized by the students. c Trhe student should feel pride in the c university and thus in the honor prin- t ciple and should follow the principle i consistently. a -U.

Last year, as is the case this semes ter, only eight girls were placed in the beauty section of the annual, and spon sors for presidents of the various or gamzations appeared in the special group. A number of the sponsors were not Carolina girls. The new sec tion was planned in order to avoid this, as the annual staff felt that only University people should appear in the Garnet and Black. The staff of the Garnet and Black has given us a statement concerning when the annual will come out: "Hear ye! Hear ye! Barring act of God or the public enemy, ye fortieth publication of Ye Garnet and Black will be given out on Wednesday, May 25th, in the year of our Lord nine teen hundred and thirty-eight, at three o'clock in the basement of Ye Olde Student Union Building. Conic one, come all!" Gaines Outlines Next Year's Work Lod-ena Gaines, recently installed Y. W. C. A. secretary, plans to con tinue the work now being done by the "Y," and to expand it in every possi ble way. Next year all the Y. W. C. A. business will be handled through the office of the dean of women, while the cabinet activities will be carried on at the Student Union Building in the "Y" room. Each cabinet meniber serves as chairman of a committee which re ports its activities twice monthly. To the regular committees, has been added a finance committee tuinder the direc tion of Dorothy Benedict, treasurer. Part of next year's program is to con duct a big drive for funds. Miss Gaines feels that if each student makes a small contribution, it will aid the organization to serve the needs of the canipus in a more effective manner. The "Y" plans to exert much effort to make freshmen comfortable at the University. The members intend to serve refre-hmients between the various placement te'sts which are always so terrifying to new students. Under the leadership of Ann .James, the sopho more council plans to act as "big sis ter" to freshman girls. "It is myv belief that the University Christian A\ssociation has an obliga tion not e nly' to the school but also to the community in which we liv'e,"' said Miss Gaines, discussing the ex tensiv'e work of the "Y." The Y. WV. C. A. has a social ser vice committee uinder the leadership :f Catherine WVebster. She will have oin this committee students who will visit the charity' patients in both the Columbia and Baptist hospitals. One studen'it will visit Carolina studecnts in he infirmary and will (do anything n her power to make them more conm ortable. Two othe'r memibers of this ~ommittee will wiork in the WVeslev ~'ommunity H-ouse lo'catedl near th~e >enitentiary. TIhiey willI assist the di ector in her work with underpriv leged children. "What I consider one of the most iTective pieces of work (lone this past rear is the work of the fifteen Uni 'ersity girls who lead the Girl Reserve Ilubs, composed1 of high schools girls if Columbia. Betty Crosby, fresh nan, has (lone splendid work with a trotup of girls at Brookland-Cayce. 9'ine work is also being (lone by the >ther leaders, wvho work in coopera ion with the Columbia Y. W. C. A. pilan to cointinue this work, expand ng it wherever possible," stated Miss names. Miss Gaines hopes to bring about mn even closer relationship between he Un'iiversity "Y" and the city "Y." he feels that if the business girls vho live at the Y. WV. C. A. can meet lie University girls. they will he able o understand, more fuly, each other's >roblcm s. One of the most important commit ees operating next year will be the aculty-student relations committee un :Ier the direction of Betty Crosby. M4iss Crosby is choosing a member >f the faculty auxiliary and a member i the faculty as advisers. Part of lie plan of this committee is to have eas in the lobby of the Student Union Building on Sunday afternoons. Miss Gaines plans to promote a :loser connection between the Uni rersity "Y" and other "Y's" both in md out of the State.
