FALL SEASON FOR TENNIS OPENS HERE THIS WEEK
The fall season for tennfs is opening this week and it is hoped that many girls—both old and new—will come out. If the new girls have not found out yet where the courts are, any of the old girls will tell them where to go. The annual singles tournament will be one of the outstanding sport events of the Fall, and everyone who so desires is eligible for participation. Watch for further announcement concerning the tournament. Don't forget that tennis is one of the major sports and let us have your support and cooperation to make this year a big success.
THREE NEW HALL PRESIDENTS ELECTED Three new hall presidents have been elected: Mary Elizabeth Norman for Library Hall; Cecil Talley for Whitehouse Hall, and Irwin Staples for West Main. The girls elected for these halls last spring did not return. Here's a novel subscription dance held at Butler University: Each young lady was weighed at the door and her escort paid so much per pound. Guess who stayed at home?— Exchange.

Dorothy Snedegar Heads Hockey FARMVILLE "GOOD Varsity Team FIRST WILL DAY," OCTOBER 2ND
The Athletic Council has appointed Dot Snedegar as head of the 1931 hockey season. She is a junior, a varsity player and vice-president of the Athletic Association. She knows her sport well, she is efficient, reliable, and a hard worker. Her position on the team is center forward. Last year she showed up well both in speed and pass-work. The schedule for this season will be completed soon and S. T. C. will probably enter another hockey tournament. Dot Snedegar took part in the tournament at William and Mary, last Novemer, in which eight other colleges participated.
The first Farmville "Good Will Day" will be October 2nd. Led in the movement by the Retail Merchants Association. Farmville citizens will welcome people from five surrounding counties on that day. Mayor E. W. Sanford has issued a proclamation inviting everybody to Farmville on "Good Will Day." Early in the morning the program will begin with public speaking, talking pictures, prize contest, sawing contest, airplane flights, caliope music, and the annual Dahlia Show. Sixty merchants are taking part in "Good Will Day" and offering special attractions at their place of business.

Thome of Conference of 1931 Is "Spiritual Adventuring" In Life SOCIAL SIDE NOT NEGLECTED Among the representatives from the southern colleges who convened at Blue Ridge this past spring were four from S. T. C, A. J. Scott, president of the Y. W. C. A. at S. T. C. Winston Cobb. undergraduate representative. Prancee Crawford, a member of the cabinet, and Miss Mary Nichols, a member of the Advisory Board The opening address of the conference was made by Mr. F. P. Miller, who is chairman of the Executive Committee of the World's Student Christian Federation. A series of inspiring devotional services was conducted by Rev. Ted Evans. These services spoke of Mr. Evans' deep spirituality and lent an air of reverence to the day's work. The theme of the conference was •"Spiritual Adventuring.'' Each day the conference went adventuring with Miss Winifred Wygal. of the National Student Council of Y. W. C. A., in a series of delightful lectures on Spiritual Adventuring. She took her audience through "modern thickets and modern frontiers"; she showed Jesus Christ as an Adventurer. She said that in our adventure through life, we have three assets—ourselves, the other person and God. One of the most interesting features of the program was the discussion groups held during Informal Hour. Dr. Sylvanus Duvall was splendid in his treatment of "Successful Living"—most helpful and interesting. Foreign Student Movements were represented at Blue Ridge. Miss Marianne Mills, a member of the British Student Movement and now on the world staff of Y. W. C. A., is visiting student camps in various parts of United States and Canada. In Oct. she will return to her headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Miss Mary Continued on page three
Y.W.CA.Welcomes The Freshmen At a Reception The Y. W. C. A. reception for the freshmen was held Friday night, Sept. 25. at 8 o'clock in the student building lounge and the gymnasium. As the students entered the lounge, they were met by Dr. Jarman. Miss Mary, Miss Potts. Miss Tabb, Miss Camper, Grace Virginia Woodhouse. A. J. Scott, and others. After meeting the receiving line, the big sisters took their little sisters to the gymnasium, where they danced. A very entertaining program was rendered by Delia Grunt who recited two pieces; Garnctt Hodges, who played some numbers on the piano; and Margaret Banks, who sang very ludicrously some popular songs. Then the freshmen played- a "get-acquainted" game and the prize was won by Frances Dorin. Miss Camper and A. J. Scott led the grand march around the gymnasium, and then by the table where delicious ice cream and cakes were served.
