FACULTY STUDEXT POPULARITY CONTEST

I

:i

At present a student-faculty popularity contest is being held at S. T. C. All day Tuesday girls nominated those Kirls whom they considered the most popular in school, also the faculty member whom they considered the most popular in the eyes of the student from every point of view.

All day Wednesday and Thursday those nominated will be voted on, after which—on one condition— the pictures will appear in the Rotunda.

That condition is that they receive at least one thousand votes in order to be elected as the most popular.

Any member under this will not be considered representative of the school and will not be worthy of a picture in the school paper. In this case only the name will be announced in next week's Rotunda. However, judging from the past, it is believed that both girl and faculty member will be seen in the Rotunda next week.

If you have not voted, do it now.

GRAY'S DRUG STORE

The greal American habit, at least that part of American repertoire of habit made by youth, is chewing gum.

It was Headquarters for presumably a happy day for Mr. Wrigley when he decided to dedicate his life to the development of the muscles of youthful jaws. The great beautiful Wrigley building in Chicago is an impressive monument to the pennies of American boys and girls.

There are ways and ways to chew gum; places and places, Come in And Get Acquainted and times and times, in which to chew; people who chew and people who don't. Among the people who chew are those who We're Glad to Have You! chew loudly and forcefully, energetically popping the gum at short intervals as it it were charged with a bit of dynamite; there are those who chew languidly and more or less silently; there are rare specimens who chew unobtrusively. Among the places selected by "glimmers" where they enjoy the stimulating For the BEST plact exercise are class rooms, movies, churches, automobiles, and to EAT and DRINK in Farmville even on holidays or fast days, their own private rooms. Among Short Stirs 15c the occasions are included class lectures, examinations, parties Sodas 10c and formal receptions, church services, and yes, even the halfhour after meals when gum is chewed "Tor your health's sake."

Among the people who don't chew are those who protest earnestly and those who suffer in silence. This article has no THE JEWELER thought of propaganda against Mr. Wrigley and his colleagues; The Store with a no, far be it from us to diminish the size of his fortune or to rid American youth of one of its greatest evident pleasures. Its THOUSAND GIFT THOUGHTS thought is to express a plea by those who don't chew, for consideration from those who do.

"The New Student" reports that at Princeton University unlimited lecture cuts have been granted to all seniors, except those under discipline.

The action, Dean Aristian Gauss said, is in the nature of an experiment.

Why can't S. T. C. adopt this same policy and see if it would prove successful within her walls?

Mi. John W. Campbell of New York has offered a fund of $6,000 to be divided among the three students, either men oi women, of the "Floating University" who accomplish the greatest services in furthering international friendships on the trip. $3,000 will be given to the most outstanding Student, $2,000 to the second and $1,000 to the third.

ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA REGISTRARS Continued from page one ton, an dMiss Rachel K. Henderlite, State Teachers College, Farmville.

The representatives of State Teachers College at East Radford, Bridgewater College and Blackstone College had expected to attend but were prevented at the last minute.

At three o'clock the association assembled in the Social Room of the Student Building. President Jarman was present for a short time; he extended a most cordial welcome to the group an dexpressed his appreciation of the work of the registrar, which he said was a profession that had developed in great strides during the last few years and was still steadily growing. He brought out the fact that the registrar's office was the only source of a great deal of information that is indispensible to the administration of all the schools.

Following Dr. Jarman, Miss Tabb extended a welcome to the association and made the point that, although the position of Registrar may be a very important one, it is not always an easy one as the registrar bridges the gap between faculty and students and on occasion has to act as a go-between.

In the business session a great many problems common to the registrars of all institutions were discussed, and many helpful suggestions were made.

At five o'clock the visitors were taken to Hampden-Sidney College in cars which had been kindly been offered by friends in the faculty and the town. Upon their return from this trip they were entertained by the college at a most delightful dinner in the Tea Room.

Saint Patrick was much in evidence in the decorations; mammoth shamrocks enclosed the lights, green candles, shamrocks, Irish potatoes were used on the tables, and a jolly "Paddy" with his pipe ornamenetd the place cards. Dr. and Mrs. Jarman, Miss Cox, head of the home, Miss Boje of the faculty of State Teachers Colleeg, Harrisonburg, and Judge W. S. Gooch were guests at the dinner.

At eight o'clock the business session was resumed in the Lounge, after an inspection of the college plant, The most important business of this evening session was thfl election of officers for the coming year, which resulted in the appointment of Mr. Freer of Lynchburg College to the presidency, and Miss Knox of Hollins College was made secretary. The 192'J meeting of the association will be held at R. M. W. ('.
