Addressing an audienc»> at Harvard last Summer, an official of the American National Red Cross observed that multitudinous forces were striving continuously to penetrate the surrounding walls of the country's educatoinal system, to impress it in some way. influence its trends, or utilize it otherwise. The fact that these well springs of education are so guarded makes it especially significant that the American Red Cross is accepted at increasingly numerous points of contact between its services and those of educational bodies and institutions in the nation. This association of the Red Cross with the nation's educational programs begins with earliest school years, and flourishes in the highest institutions. It ranges through a variety MISS LOUISE McCORMICK of Red Cross services of intense practicality. Today, in Physical Education departments of leading universities, the American Red Cross course in swimming and life saving; and first aid, is standard. Some of these courses were Friday night.

Dressed in their caps and g< wns. the Seniors led by Mis< McCormick and the class president. Lucile Craves, marched into chapel to the strains of the Alma Mater. When the chord was struck, the seniors removed their caps and held them over their hearts while they sang a song to the class man. Lucile Craves then presented Miss McCormick to the student body and to the faculty. She emphasized the fact that since Miss McCormick such a short time ago marched down the aisle as a senior, she is thoroughly Cftpable of understanding the Senior class problems. Miss McCormick graduated from State Teachers College. Farmville, in 1927. She was an outstanding member of her class, and one whom we all love and respect. Besides having a high scholastic record. Miss McCormick took an active part in many extra-curricula activities. A few of the things which she belonged to while in school were Pi Gamma Mu, Pi Kappa Omega. Alpha Delta Rho, Inter-Collegiate Debate Team, Dramatic Club and Chromatic Club.
Dr. Jarman reminded the class that as Seniors they are responsible to a certain extent for the scholastic tone of the institution. The courses will mean to the students whatever they wish. The student who goes into class with the purpose in view of securing the most that is to be had in aiding her preparation for her vocation is the one who will derive the most benefit from the course. He stressed the primary importance of scholastic work although urging us to take part on extra-curricula activities when it can be done without interfering with one's studies. The last point which Dr. Jarman emphasized was the importance of cooperation between faculty and students if our institution is to render fullest service.

VIRGINIA - MARYLAND B. S. U. CONFERENCE CONVENES AT EAST RADFORD NOVEMBER 1 TO 3, 1929 The Virginia-»Maryland B. S. TJ. Conference which met at East Radford, Virginia, November 1-3 to discuss student religfous problems of the present generation proved very successful and inspiring. Every college in the state, both junior and senior except Westhampton College and University of Virginia, had a delegation at the meetings and the keynote "'Conquering the Campus With Christ" will be taken to each of these. Farmville State Teachers College had the largest single delegation, with fourteen present. The program was begun at 7 p. m. Friday, with Miss Nellie Talley, state president in charge, and continued through Sunday afternoon. The program carried speeches by some of the leading speakers of the state and the south. Dr. E. H. Potts, pastor of W. and L. and V. M. I., led the devoti'onals through Saturday afternoon. Dr. Cornmack, president of Averett College conducted the remaining ones. There were two groups of student speeches, one Saturday morning dealing with "The Power of the B. S. U. in Virginia", the other Saturday evening was a study: "The Propelling Power of Christian Character on the Cam-
pus". Dr. C. V. Cook of Farmville gave the address Saturday morning using | as his subject "Christ in My Life." I The principal address of the afternoon was delivered by Wm. Hall Preston, associate Southside secretary from Nashville, Tennessee. Saturday night. Dr. J. P. McConnell, president East Radford S. T. C. spoke on "The Inevitable Characteristics of the Greatest Christians." Sunday morning at 6:30 the faithful of the group assembled for a sunrise service at the Baptist church. There in the cold rose grey of the morning followed the most inspirational meeting of the entire group. There lives were dedicated anew to His service. Two of the main speakers were Dr. John L. Hill, book editor of Baptist Publishing Company, Nashville, Tennessee, who spoke Friday evening on "Conquering the Campus with the Changeless Christ," and ex-governor Pat Neff, Waco, Texas, who delivered the two main addresses Sunday. "The World's Struggle for Perfection" and "The Atmosphere of the Conquering Campus" were the subjects dwelt upon by Mr. Neff. Mr. Preston was in charge of the music, asisted by Miss Lucille Chris-
'tian of Radford S. T. C. at the piano. At the last meeting on Sunday af-
POLLARD AND PROGRESS SUCCESSFUL SLOGAN William and Mary Professor Wins Sweeping Victory Over W. & L. Man Collage students in Virginia have had the privilege of watching and studying, and in a great many cases helping in the most exciting gubernatorial election in two generations. The Democratic party carried the State by a huge majority of nearly 70,000. holding every county and city that was in their column and winning back 84 of the 51 Republican counties and 10 of tin- IS Republican cities. Close political observers claim that the election was won and lost in the last ten days. In the early part of the campaign the struggle was centered on national issues, and was a fairly even contest. In the latter part the principal isue was the honesty and ability of the present state administration and the result is considered as a vindication of the Byrd policies. Both candidates for governor were college men, the victor a Professor of Political Science in the College of William and Mary and his rival Professor of Psychology in Washington and Lee University. Students of government have long wished that Virginia should have a two party system in the really active politics, but every one hopes that future struggles between the parties will be on a higher level, than the one just concluded, which was largely a campagin of personal abuse. Everyone is happy: the Republicans still have President Hoover; the Democrats have Governor Pollard, and we —will have Thanksgiving before examinations are due. Williamsbuig, home town of Dr. Pollard gave him a 12 to 1 majority; Lexington, the home town of Dr. Brown, gave Pollard a 3 to 1 majority, and Blackstone, home town of Bishop Cannon, gave Pollard an 8 to 1 majority.

Is There Justice to the Just? Out of the past come figures of history recognized by the world. Napoleon with his leadership, Joan of Arc with her confidence in victory, Walter Reed with his patience, and Woodrow Wilson with his determination have outstanding places in history. Hut what of Mrs. Curie with her patience, sacrifice, and earnest desire to do something for humanity? Will she be forgotten as was Private Kissenger of Ohio who stood the test in the interest of science and humanity during the yellow fever
experiments? Marie Curie became a teacher like her father and mother. "Then, anxious to learn, she went to Paris, without money, to study physics. There she met and married Pierre Curie." They worked together until Curie's death. Since then Mme. Curie has worked alone. This daughter of a poor Polish school teacher has worked so long with the chemical element which has meant health to thousands, and which has saved the lives of even more thousands. At present. Mme. Curie is in the United States to honor Thomas A. Edison. How much honor does she herself deserve, and get on this occasion? She has requested that all plans started by American women to raise funds for her be dropped. When she was here in 1921, American admirers presented her with one gram of radium and an annual income of $3,500, because she was living in very humble surroundings. However, Mme. Curie accepted the gram of radium only on the terms that it be used in the Curie Institute of the University of Paris, and this entire income has been used annually toward the rental of a gram of radium for the Warsaw Cancer Hospital at Warsaw. Plans have not been made in the United States for a public reception for Mme. Curie, because her health will not permit it. Working for so long with radioactive substances has made her hands extremely tender; therefore handshaking is an ordeal which she can not undergo. Today, .Mine. Curie is sixty-two years old. Does her ambition appeal t<> modern American women? Is she as great as Woodrow Wilson. Napoleon, Joan of Arc, or Walter Reed? Must Mme. Curie take a minor ranking among the great, or will she be recognized according to what she has done?
Did I see the circus'.' Why what do you think I am? Indeed I did—and , it was the very best yet. Of course I aw the parade! Weren't those animials funny? And wasn't "E's" chariot a scream! The band—-why it couldn't have been better if Sousa had directed it. Was Lucy darling? She looks so cute with all her balloons. And those stunts! All the class performances were good—but I do think the best one got the prize. Didn't you nearly die laughing at Blanche? and those screams—why, my dear, I had to hold my ears! And didn't Etta look romantic? Indeed she was brave—facing those dreadful horns as she did. Why they were actually knotted! Hatchett! Why, she was line! "Right this way—lad-e-e-s and gentlemen! See the wild animals! A remarkable demonstration of human control over the biggest brutes that breathe!" She looked the part—hat, vest, boots and all. And did you ever see anything to beat that horse-race? I really had no idea that Allie was so famous a jockey. 1 expect she'll win the next Kentucky derby. Julia Asher? Why I had to look the second time to be sure that she wasn't Aunt Lucy! She couldn't have been improved upon except in one thing. Sh—I don't think you often see Aunt Lucy so energetic about cleaning up. Oh, that Faculty stunt! Wasn't Miss Barlow a scream? And Dr. Wynn? Wouldn't tt be some family album that contained all those pictures? I'd give anything to have one! The Tublers were fine—but they always are. I don't see how they do all those things. Bet they were good and stiff this morning, at least I know I would have been. Yes, I was too. I was BO afraid she would fall. Just think, walking that rope all that way up in the air. One mis-step and we'd have seen the last of Marion. Didn't you nearly die laughing at Bfllie and Frances and Gilberta? The doorkeeper seemed to have a time getting their tickets. They just "warn't gwine to pay" But "Ma" finally decided to give them the money to keep peace in the family. I honestly don't see how it could have been improved upon. Wish we could have another one. Yes, I hope they cleared a lot on it too. There goes the bell. I had no idea I've been talking for a whole minute. I met you about fourteen minutes after, didn't I? Well, I'spose I'd better run along. "Goodness, I laughed and laughed when I saw those plodding elephants, knowing who was under the elephant's skin and how tired they must ha' been S'long.

"Say. Anna, did you see the big parade?" "Well, no! I don't like war pictures' "You dummox, I'm not asking you what kind of pictures you like. The Big Parade is Ancient History with Paramount. I'm talkin' 'bout the circus parade they put on Saturday— who put it on?—why Alpha Kappa Gamma! That's the biggest organization in school. You'd expect them to do the 'big thing' . . . . " "Well, you sure missed a lot by not seeing it. I wouldn't have missed it for oodles of money. You should have seen the band—and heard them too. They had the fun-ni-est drums and harps -an' all the other noisy instruments a real band has. They looked some kinder peachy in those little red and white suits. Anybody'd have thought they were 'Sweethearts On Parade'." Gee! it's good not to be an elephant. And then those giraffes—they stretched their necks as if they were tryin' t<> make 'em longer. "Well, the cutest thing o' all ,was the monkeys. I'd seen plenty o' monkey-actings here at S. T. C, but I never knew any girl could look so much like—real monkey. And you should've seen the beauties of S. T. C. as Circus beauties. You know it's a lot o' difference in beauty at S. T. C. and beauty as they have it in the Circus. I guess its just a law of the King of the Circus that they have to be all the prettier there. The funny thing to me was—to see them girls that never touched a horse line before a-standing, up there drivin' as nice as you please. And didn't the little girl with a red dress on have a hard time? That ole woman with her—I guess 'twas her ma—sure was strict on her, wouldn't let her turn her head hardly. "Well, next time don't you miss seein' any parade we have at S. T. C, 'cause you may as well know it's heaps bigger than the Big Parade and a lot cuter."
THE PERFECT LOVER He isn't tall and slender, Rather he is long and round He hasn't the raved over laughing eyes Or the typical melancholy frown. His form isn't upright and springy Slowly he crawls along. And instead of a print of a manly foot, A slim trail where his body has gone. Then why fore call him perfect? The secret lies right here, Instead of one loving heart, He has several for his lady dear. He serenades her at midnight, And his love is tender and true. There alone in the starlight, He tells the old story ever new. And his many hearts beat in unison, And his love is wonderful to see. Biology fiends, havn't you guessed yet That only an earth worm could such a lover be? K. W. '30.
