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

Last year, as is the case this semes

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

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.
