Elizabeth's Raw-Is discussed Hoover's possibilities. Her argument was an outline of the many important things he has done during his life.

She mentioned his work in China, Australia, and other foreign countries. "Hoover is a man of deep sympathy and not merely a ready smile."

Aileen Broughton ably defended Smith. She stated the three chief objections to him, namely, that he is a Catholic, a non-prohibitionist, and a member of Tammany Hall. She argued that a prejudice against his religion was narrow-mindedness, that he would consider law-enforcement his duty, and that Tammany Hall had always befriended the South.

DO YOU VOTE? Yesterday a straw vote for President of the United States was taken at S. T. C. We shall leave for our elders speculation Oil the fact that in Virginia, the dear state our Southland, birthplace of Jefferson, the result of the vote of one group of the most Intelligent young women in the State was in favor of the Republican candidate.

Our concern is not with the result—for that will take care of itself, but with our vote. In the first place only half of the students voted. And that in the face of Dr. Jarman's paternal reminder, "If you are a good citizen, you will go to the polls."

For various reasons the other half of us did not vote. Now we conclude that it was because of one two facts: we were not sufficiently interested, or we didn't know enough to vote intelligently.

The fact lli aside from personal interest, the vote in our college means nothing from a politcal point of view, since most of our students are minors. It is. however, indicative of a state of mind thai is at best deplorable. That we, the intelligentsia among youth—may we call ourselves?—do not care enough to inform ourselves about the man who is to be our national leader, and then to act upon our good judgment, is perhaps appalling to the foreigner. We. who are familiar with the situation. however, observe in an apathetic fashion that our people don't vote, and do nothing about it.

This is merely a suggestion for thought. Most of us can't yet vote, though the day is not far off when we shall take our place at the official polls. Then, what kind of citizens will we be?

WHAT USE HONOR FRATERNITIES? Two new national honor fraternities have been installed at S. T. C. and another honor society has formed a national association with two other chapters. These events are characteristic of the growth in spirit and in size of our college, and deserve rather serious consideration.

We hardly think it true that these societies raise the standards Of our college, for they have been high since its founding.

The societies. however, are a concrete expression of high ideals in scholarship, leadership, and forensics. and in the development Of the well rounded student.

Whereas it is true that the membership of the societies is only a small fraction of the student body, they compose an integral part of College life. Students who attain the standards required for membership receive with the privilege of mem-

do not work hard enough at our intellectual and educational tasks,' said Dr. E. W. Knight, of the University of North Carolina. ii> the Founder's Day address at Radford State Teachers College.

"We rank low in education not because we were once devastated by war nor because we are too poor to supin >rt better schools. The South is now prosperous in economic wealth.

We can not any longer point to war or poverty in explanation or defense of our educational shortcomings.

The South ranks low in education, when measured by national standards, very largely because we have here a distaste of sustained educational effort." he said.

"Our aversion to hard work is reflected in the large number of poorly trained and unproductive school and college teachers and the low standards of scholarship permitted. Too few of our students have respect for a thoroughness and excellence of study chiefly because the standards of their teachers are low. One of the largest educational needs of the Southern Youth is for more thorough and disciplined teachers all the way from the elementary school through the university. On our mania for the mechanics of method and details of administration in education and this need is now seriously neglected," Dr. Knight declared. The Breeze,

As we gazed at our friend, who sat tenderly holding a beautiful flower, we realized that however beautiful it was to us that it held an uneomprehensible significance for him, who in spite of his "white man's education" was still an Indian at heart.

"You ask if there is a story about this flower, which to you is only a flower, but to me . . . ah, wait and I Shall tell you," he said as he settled back in his chair in a way that made us know that a treat was in store for us.

".Many years before the white man Came to this greal land, there lived a beautiful Indian maiden whose name was Gaillordia. She was the daughter of Muskajec. one of the counsel men Of the tribe. She was loved by Brailii. the son of the chief, who determined to make her his bride. Gaillordia, however, loved Santaseoa, one of the bravest and best-liked warriors of the tribe, who in turn loved her.

"Santaseoa and Gaillordia planned to marry with the first appearance of the blue bird, that symbol of happiness. While they were talking of the great event, they wire interrupted by a breathless messenger, who told Santaseoa that he was wanted immediately at a meeting called by the chief.

The message could have only one meaning war!

The inevitable had happened. Though it had been expected, it was none the less of a shock to the two lovers.

"That night, as was the custom of the tribe, a big feast was held to celebrate the coming event. After the dances had been performed, the sacrifices were offered to the Great Spirit that victory might be with the tribe.

These rites over, the warriors, carrying out another custom, presented their sweethearts with a gift, the acceptance of which meant that they would be true to their lovers until their return.

"Santaseoa presented Gaillordia with an exquisite blanket in her favorite colors of red and yellow. So artistically woven was it, that the two ddors blended almost as one.

"The following morning the braves left. The chief being too old to accompany his tribesmen, Brodii had been placed in charge. They were accompanied for a short distance by the rest of the tribe. The last farewells were made and the warriors staited on their difficult journey, while their tribesmen returned to the almost deserted village.

"Many moons passed and at last the time drew near, that eventful day in the lives of Gaillaidia and her lover.

"Three days before the first sight of the blue bird might be expected, a runner announced that the warriors were returning victorious!

"Gaillordia arrayed herself in the blanket and with the other maidens awaited the victors. One by one, the maidens were claimed and led away by the happy braves. But where was Santaseoa? Could it be that he . . .'!

Gaillordia saw Bradii and tunning to him asked him if he knew what had become of Santaseoa. Bradii told her that he had been killed. Screaming,

BREAKFAST IN MEADOW

Gaillordia ran to her wigwam.

"Later that day, she was sought out by her father who told her that she was the promised bride of Bradii.

In spite of her entreaties, he remained unmoved in his decision. The more she pleaded, more determined he became, until he told her that she not only would marry Bradii, but that she should do so in three days.

"Gaillordia spent the time intervening in prayer to the Great Spirit to save her from her awful fate. She begged that she might die the moment Bradii touched her.

"The morning of the third day Gaillordia was awakened by the cheerful song of the bluebird.

It seemed more she could bear; but she was not the daughter of a brave man for nothing, so when the wedding feast was ready, she donned her red and yellow blanket and went forth to meet her future husband.

"When the feast was over and before the ceremony had commenced, Gaillordia wandered away from the festival and stood on the edge of the woods looking into its shadows. Bradii noticing her, followed her, and stood watching her.

"As she looked, she heard someone call 'Gaillordia' in the old familiar way, and Santaseoa appeared in the circle of light. With a glad cry Baillordia held out her arms towards him and would have rushed forward to great him, but at that moment Biadii laid a detaining ha nd on her arm.

To his amazement he felt his hand

fall. Gaillordia had disappeared.

In

her place was a beautiful flower in ted and yellow, exquisitely marked as had been her blanket. The Great Spirit had been good to Gallordia, for instead of death, she had been given the privilege of life in the form of this beautiful flower." As he finished, he held up for our inspection the Gaillordia, or as it is si iietimes called

the Blanket Flower.

Such we'-o the cries thai tilled the lowei hall last Friday, because the Sophomore Class was conducting a "beauty contest." Pictures of the "boy friends" were carefuly dusted and entered into the race. The contestants were numbered and placed in full view so that one could vote for her choice for a small sum.

Enthusiasm reached its peak. The taste of the fair damsels varied greatly; some just loved the "cute blond," while others were quite sure that the brunette with the hooked nose was the most adorable of all," each fighting for her choice.

When the day came to a close, it was discovered that No. 11 was the lucky man. After this eventful contest the gentlemen were returned to their proper owners and were, most probably, put back on the wall, far from the sight of the maddening crowd that had gazed at them so critically all day.
