Author O f Best Seller Honored At Tea On CampusMrs. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings,

author of the best seller, The yearling, was entertained at tea in the Rotunda by the English and Sock and Buskin Clubs on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Raw­lings was in Valdosta as the guest of the Readers’ Forum group in town, whose discussion this month was centered around The Yearling.

Upon being interviewed, Mrs. Rawlings was a charming con­versationalist. She spoke freely and informally and had no ob­jection to answering questions, regular news reporters, for whom she has an intense dislike, being the only interrogators to whom she refuses to talk.

Mrs. Rawlings wished to make clear that writing doesn’t just flow. “It is work,” she says. She related amusing incidents and laughed at her own stories with her listeners.

Upon being asked “How do you formulate your books?” she said that The Yearling was the first of its type she had written. This was done by plotting the events and writing to fit them.

“I always know my first and last sentences and work to that end,” replied Mrs. Rawlings.

Cross-Creek, near Ocala, Fla., where the author spends much of her time, she described as a conglomerated settlement. She found there such characters as a negro who used the word “Chip­pendale,” and a husband who beat his wife. It is in this section that she has done extensive re­search work for her books.

The first work of recognition by the well-known author was a composition written at the age of eleven. Nevertheless, she be­lieves a piece on Bluebirds, writ­ten when she was six, started her

, on the road to fame. The last mentioned masterpiece was re- ceived with gales of laughter by

j her audience.Although M.G.M. has pur-

1 chased The Yearling, Mrs. Rawl- | ings is not going to Hollywood f and does not expect the picture I to be like the book . . . Jean Rey­

nolds, of Boys’ Town, is to have [ the leading role, with Spencer I Tracy as the father. She ex- I pressed herself as being greatly I pleased with the selection of the I stars, and reported, that pro- I duction would start in the spring.

“One doesn’t realize how much I of their environment seeps into | the relations between characters I you create,” said Mrs. Rawlings. I “I piece my characters together.”

Simms Of New S. Wales Talks To Student Body

Traveling, through the United States, lecturing at churches and schools in an effort to stimulate interest in negro problems, Joe Simms, an Aboriginal of New South Wales, Australia, spoke to the student body on Wednesday, February 8. For several years Simms, who, though having nev­er attended school, has educated himself, has been lecturing for the purpose of impressing upon the minds of his audience the fact that the negro wants a chance to live—not social equal­ity, only friendliness and a chance to develop his potentiali­ties.

“Nonsense and Some Sense” was the title of Mr. Simms talk. In the first half of the program which dealt with nonsense, he gave the definition of love as “ a tickling sensation around the heart which cannot be scratched. Before going into the “ some sense” part he played and sang a negro love song, “Priscilla, I Love Thee, I Do.” The last part included a discussion of some of the problems of the Negro race. He discussed the race ex­tinction going on in Australia and the loss of interest of life manifested by the black race.

He likened the position of the Aboriginal in Australia to that of the American Indian in North America. To Simms the negro has been oppressed; however, if given a helping hand they could prove themselves worthy of bus­iness and political responsibili­ties. In conclusion Simms gave an interpretation of an old ne­gro folk dance.

The Presbyterian College Glee Club and x)rchestra appeared in the college auditorium on Thurs­day evening, February 2. The performance took place under the auspices of the Presbyterian Woman’s Auxiliary.

Opening the program, which was divided in three parts, was “Onward P.C.” During the ev­ening there were thirteen selec­tions by the whole club, includ­ing “ I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,” by Rathbun; “ Holy Art Thou,” by Handel; “Morning,” by Speaks; “Song of the Volga Boatmen,” and “ Goin’ Home,” from the New World Symphony by Dvorak-Fisher.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, FEB. 15 IN AUDITORIUM

Play Acting Class Presents Ario De Capo

Morgan Has “ Mike Fright” After Audition

When Eleanor Morgan went to Atlanta last week for an audi­tion with Phil Spitalny and his All-Girl Orchestra, she did not realize she was singing on the air. Songstress Eleanor confid­ed, however, that although she was “ tickled to death” after­wards, she could never have done quite so well had she known be­fore hand that people were lis­tening in.

Arriving at the Paramount theatre shortly before the audi­tions were to be held Thursday morning, she found one hundred other girls waiting. Handed a slip of paper, she hastily wrote her name and sat down to wait until her name was drawn and she was called to the stage.

She sang “Chloe.” Her only regret is that after the audi­tion, she learned that Mr. Spital­ny is Bohemian, and she Wished she had sung the Gypsy melody, “Play, Fiddle, Play,” instead.

When it was all over she took a tip from an usher and “stuck around for a while.” The re­sult—in a few minutes Mr. Spi­talny looked around saying “ Where’s that girl who sang Chloe?’ Eleanor was almost too frightened to answer, and all the time she was right behind him. This time, she sang Chloe on the air.

With ail that and Mr. Spital- any’s encouragement, a coloratu­ra soprano, seven blues singers and a xylophone player were se­lected. Eleanor reported a won­derful time.

Ario de Capo, a one-act pldy by Edna St. Vincent Millay was presented by members of the Play Acting and Directing Class, under the direction of Miss Louise Sawyer, at a meeting of the Wymadausis club on Wednes­day afternoon, February 8. Adap­ted from an Italtian phrase the title means a melody in three parts. It is a satire on war.

Essie Skinner gave the intro­duction for the play. The role of Corthunus, the prompter who sits in the shadows directing the movements of the people on the stage, was played by Curtis Whatley. Ruth Whisonant and Doris Harper took the parts of the shepherds, Thyrsus and Corydon.

C. J. Morris played the part of Pierrot, the hero, who sees the faults of the situation but is too indolent to do anything abut them. Louise Banks por­trayed the part of Columbine, the heroine, who is a superficial, silly blonde, who loves and ad­mires Pierrot, but understands nothing he does. Others mem­bers of the class were on the stage and costume committees.

The action of the play cen­ters around a tissue paper wall built by Thyrsus and Corydon* Supposedly the best bf friends, an argument arises and in a frenzy, the friends kill each other. The incident is illustra­tive of the fact that countries on friendly terms, sometimes hurriedly fling themselves into war over things that seem im­portant at the time, but are in reality no more than paper rib­bons.

Miss Sawyer stated that the* play was so well presented at the Wymodosis Club that there have been requests to have it repeated before various other groups in town. The play will be presented next week to the student body. * I

Who’s Afraid Of- What?What is woman’s greatest

fear? Maybe, it’s the fear of not getting married, but few girls will admit it. They have fears besides that of living a comfortable life as an old maid.

For instance Hattilu McIntyre is very much afraid of light­ning. Harriet Goodson doesn’t mind the lightning as much as the thunder.

LaVerne Herring is afraid of being burned to death and runs from all fires. Evelyn Cook is afraid of the dark. (But don’t take this statement the wrong way!)

No Speed Demon is LeonaLeona Strickland gets “ that

ticklish feeling when riding fast­er than 60 miles per hours in an automobile.

“War and its after-effects frighten me more than anything else,” says Josephine Graham, of the cosmopolitan mind.

Mary Dubois has just overcome her biggest “bogey.” Resolving not to be afraid of cows, Mary took a big stick and launched out into a herd of them. Mary admits that she “ turned green with fear, but it was worth it.”

Two Fearless Ones

At least, we two fearless girls on the campus, for Margaret Copeland and Marion Smith proudly boast, “ I have no fears.” (We wonder!?!)

Georgia Crews has quite defi­nite ideas about her greatest fears. She answers promptly: “Mice and men.”

Most jof us share iElizabeth Lyons’ fear of snakes, as well as Elizabeth Allen’s fear of “teachers.”

Anna Richter is afraid of “crowds.” This is hard to be­lieve when one sees the poised Anna recite.

Lane Wants to See AllRosalind Lane says, “I’m afraid

I won’t get to go everywhere I want to before I die.’ Most of us are afraid we won’t get to go where we want to after we die.

June Lawson has a constant fear of being ’inadequate” in performing her duties— don’t we all?

Each day brings a new fear. Some of them we overcome, some we don’t. But rest assured we, the “weaker sex,” will all “knock knees” together.

Our Editorial-----------. . . on cuts, has not died. It was read by the faculty and is under consideration.

The Planning Comittee, which was formed for the purpose of discussing problems existing on campus, invited members of the Canopy staff to attend their meeting on Monday. At this time we presented the proposal and discussed it.

Problems Will AriseYou realize, of course, that there is more

than one side to the question. A great number of decisions must be made before the final de­cree.

Suppose we should be granted a maximum numbers of cuts? What if a student passes all her cuts and a totally unexpected occurance ne­cessitates her missing extra classes? Provision for all such cases must be made.

Some Girl Are ThoughtlessShould a system be worked out, who is going

to guard the thoughtless student against her­self? Will the students be wise enough to stay well within the limits and allow for emergencies?

A plan for a cut system wll be presented to the planning committee on Monday. It is the desire of the Canopy to work out a plan that will be satisfactory to the greater number of students.

What Do You Want?With this end in view, any students who have

particular ideas or wishes concerning cuts, are urged to make the same known to the Canopy editors before noon on Monday. Let us make this a student plan.

One Of The---------------. . . things which serve to draw G.S.W.C/S girls closer together is the annual Heart Sister week. It begins Sunday morning, Feb. 12, and ends on St. Valentine’s Day at dinner, when each Heart sister’s identity is revealed.

Each girl draws her heart-sister and during the week sends her little gifts. To us it sym­bolizes the comradeship and the close ties of feeling and the unselfish spirit that should run through our college lives. During the week everybody is just a little more friendly and a little more considerate. No wonder so many friendships are bom then! And so for us . . . we say we’re all for it.

— By Jeannette Johnson —

That man with the red ’thirty- nine Chevrolet coupe called Georgia again!

Lucy Evelyn gots out with Bar­rymore. It couldn’t be John Bar­rymore, so our guess is that it was Charles.

Norman Rackley stays around Senior Hall quite a bit; could the cause be Mary Virginia Williams?

Mildred Wilson is going to the A.T.O. formal at Emory this week end. What does David have to say about it, Mildred?

Montine not only had a brith- day Sunday but a “Cotton-day” —including candy!

Do you know who “Whizzer’s” around from place to place?

Joiner may be in trouble if Eric hears about the boy from Quitman that she dated Sunday night. Late notice—She is!

Dody has a bid to the Military Ball at Athens. It’s still in the balance. But Louise Bell jumed right aboard. Guess she is pinned down to it—these big, strong- armed foresters.

Of course,you know that P. B. sent Garbutt a gift—a book, namely, “The Importance of Liv­ing.” Can it be that the “ex” thinks she hasn’t lived—or why?

The Lawson family anounces the address o f their new home in Jacksonville—four doors from the St. Johns River. You must drop in some time.

At last! Zipperer will see her Buddy and Whisnant will see Jet, if Curtis will give her a chance. All this when the Sock and Buskin takes over Atlanta. Don’t go temperamental, girls!

Joe likes Jo on a bicycle.Harry still dates Payne on Sun­

day night, a town girl on Mon­day night, and Lilly on Tuesday

night. It looks like a rut in the form of a rectangle,

Curtis has a caller from Jasper every week and we imagine “Dip” thinks it nice, for he has a brother.

Have you noticed that the glint that was in Baisden’s eye, is no more? She says that it’s all over. Shall we believe her?

On the first call Richter couldn’t go o u t . . . had to study. But when true lover from Donal- sonville comes . . . the studies just aren’t any more.

We were glad to see Katheryn More back for a visit.

And Margaret Carter goes out with John Dundan.

How’s your “Paine” these days, Dalton? We hear it comes around every night.

We hear that has been a child marriage in the Feshman class. It all came about on a week end not so long ago.

Ora Kate’s fan mail comes from Englnd. Hes studying for Doctor’s degree and has a studio and . . . well, you just must read it.

Jimmy Hutson, Emory Junior idol, is recovering from an ap­pendix operation. The freshman girls are eating their hearts out in his absence.

Quitman came over en masse for the dance Saturday night: Dutch, Cutie, John P. and several others.

When two red-heads go out to­gether. We’re just sitting around to see the result. Namely—Mer­ritt plus Gomto equals what?

Janie Macon and Flossie Hed­rick are cashing in on culinary skill. Selling divinity on the halls. Yum, yum !!!

Letters To The EditorG.S.W.C. emblems should be

awarded on a special day. After all, college means a great deal m o r e than just scholastic achievement, and if we can de­vote a whole day to recognition of that, surely we can do no less for girls who have given unsel­fishly of their time, talent, and energy for the carrying on of

extra-curricula activities.Emblims are not made in a

day, even in a yer. Few girls get them in two years. They signify an interest in campus life and leadership in various fields, to say nothing of hard work.

So I say—by all means recog­nize the winners of emblems.

Here And ThereJames Cagney made his first

success as a female impersona­tor. Tough guy, eh? After spending six months touring the movie colony looking for a lot to build a new hme, Pat O’Brien finally broke down. He bought the one next door*

How about the matinee idol who fell o ff the yacht? Things were going swimmingly (he had a goopl crawl) ’til the ship’s spot picked him out. Then he almost drowned—took too many bows.

Did you know that there are at least 2,700 languages spoken today? Let’s have a world con­vention and recreate Babel.

Did you hear Fred Allen as Pa- gliacci Fortissimo, Wednesday night? Just a clown doing Lear —and then there was the little actress who considered “Hedda Gabbler” a good enough part to start with—well, we all have to begin somewhere.

So near and yet so far—Paul Whiteman played in Tampa Wednesdy night . . . Ethel Barry­

more emotes in Atlanta this week end . . . Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine do Idiot’s Delight there the 24th . . . These versatiles also call Jupiter away from his Juno that same week end.

“Puss” has a rival . . . it is rumored that Arthur Treacher can outstride the famous Seven League Boots.

Pity Errol Flynn—In the past year, he was rumored to raise catle in Utah’s hinterland, hunt buried treasure in the Pacific, battle with fish in Mexico, fly the Pacific, and dig for gold in the wastes of the Great Sierra. Poor thing! Who knows but what a rousing game of Chinese check­ers would bring out that light of adventure just as well. Easier on the nerves, too, don’t you think, old chappies?

Richard Arlen won the pro­amateur golf championship out on the coast t’other day. Watch out, Bobbie Jones!

Two Prime-----------— -, . factors make nations fertile fields for the sow­ing of Fascist oats. They are a desparate internal situation and a scapegoat minority population on which the leaders can blame all evils and ills religious, poitlcal, and social. This is a necessity for no mob can be united more quickly than by the concentrated hate of one set-off group.

Mexico has the former, but no nation has ever been so bereft of a minority on which it can blame all its troubles, and in its extinction, in theory, find a panacea for all government! ills.

However, last week, outside the Mexico City headquarters of the Fascist Front for Unifying the Revolutions, some 3,000 Mexicans gathered to hear a speech by Juan Moran, former mem­ber o f the now-dissolved Mexican Gold Shirts. Other speakers were also Anti-Cardenas and radical in their viewpoints.

The speakers upbraided the president and ridiculed and criticized the Army’s policies. But they save the bitterest of their abuse for the Jews, of which race Mexico City has 15,000. “Jew­ish blood and still more Jewish blood must flow,1’ screamed handbills. The Jews were responsible for the unemployment in the U.S. “Now they seek the ruin of Mexico.”

Drunk with the mob psychology of the lead­ers, a young Fascist slugged a passing Jew. That began a party which was no pink tea. Chanting “kill the Jew” the mob stoned Jewish-owned stores, broke windows and generally wrecked all Jewish property in their pathway.

Policemen equipped with sub-machine guns and firehose finally forced the mob to disperse.

A strong suspicion rides rampant in Mexico City that if all were disclosed that a German finger would be found in the pie somewhere. It had the definite approval of the German legation.

The Theatre-------------. . . in the park is an ideal location for gradua­tion exercises. It combines beauty, comfort, and individuality to a surprising degree.

Doesn’t it seem ridiculous to gather a large group together in an auditorium on a hot sum­mer morning, when the great outdoors would do as well, if not better. It’s not that we’re not proud of our aduitorium, because we are, but you will surely agree that as a background for commencement exercises it is neither particularly cool nor inspiring.

What if outdoor exercises are not the usual thing on our campus; so much the better. Why follow the leader through a swamp when there’s a perfectly good bridge in the vicinity?

Perhaps the acoustics for speakers are not adequate. Couldn’t some scheme of amplifiers be worked out? In this day and age that we call “progressive” surely this would be a small task, and if some system was available, more use could be made o f the outdoor theatre in the future.

From An Uneasy. . . chair. The paper will never get to press the way cute jokes are flying around the office. What with them and the prospective convention- ers, this week’s paper will be a miracle.

We don’t want to steal the whole show, girls. I f you have a pet gripe that you don’t think ap­propriate for airing in our columns, drop in on the planning committee. They meet every Mon­day afternoon in the President’s office. Take our word for it that they are an understanding group and would give you so much attention that you’d feel like Hedy Lamarr or someone.

Hearts and valentines—the birthdays of his­tory, such as Edison, Hugo, Longfellow, Washing­ton, Lincoln—all in this month. What with these celebrations, we can hardly suggest classes.

It is generally agreed that Mrs. Dr. Reade Is the most attractive student on the campus. Everyone “ohs” and “ahs” about her sweaters and skirts and such. Many strangers at the IRC dance last Saturday night wanted to know who that attractive girl was. Take a bow, Miss Price.

And how sad it will be if the erring ones don’t send their annual proofs to the photograph­er immediately. Who wants their smiling face to be missing from the annais of history?

So the Faculty Take-Offs did not occur! Per­haps it was wiser to save it until after the un- satisfactories had gone opt. Leave it to the seniors to be discreet.

Senior Hall is glad for the doors at the back o f the stage. Glee Club rehearsals can easily be heard, and they are really enjoyable. We have something there.

Where’s The Fire, Lady?Fire on Campus! Thrill! Thrill!

At last some excitement!This stupendous event oc-

cured on our fair campus be­tween Ashley Hill and Senior porm about the half-way mark of Monday afternoon.

Mary Lee Rogers (efficient lit­tle thing) amid hysterical cries of “Where’s the fire? Wonder if its in the kitchen (we would think of the food part) rushed down to turn in the fire alarm.

Mrs. Shrivalle, Miss Hopper, and North Ashley rushed out to behold the telephone post in flames—on one side only!

The cooks promptly stepped in the flower beds and, helped by a terrific wind, elevated wa­ter with the aid of buckets to the altitude of the lighted wood.

Mr. Duesnbery, sailor like, was soaked by the flying spray.

Everyone breathlessly awaited the Valdosta Fire dapartment. Eventually, expecting sirens and all, they were let down by the appearance of a Model T. The paint had long since faded to— shall we say—a “Wine.” The painted V.FJD. was barely visi­ble on the doors.They (two firemen minus rain­

coats and equipment) effectively used the hose and applied a stroke a two with the ax.

Elizabeth Borders, ‘Oh, what if it had been the dormitory!”

An anonymous character then supplied “The first thing I ’d take would be my diary” (mm!)

Maybe we’d better not have any more fires on campus, so let this be a warning.

“Keep your diary close at hand. Unless it’s wrapped in asbestos, it will probably be in flames and will have to be res­cued by a fire-fighter.

—Margie Jones

I From Our FilesONE YEAR AGO

Excavating work for the new G.S.W.C. swimming pool was completed this week and the pouring of cement is scheduled to begin immediately.

Public housing in relation to city planning is the subject of a new five-year study recently be­gun at the Massachusetts Insti­tute of Technology.

Margaret Carter, Eleanor Mor­gan, and Sue Nell Greenlee broadcasted over radio station WPAX in Thomasville.

Miss Louise Sawyer presided at meeting of the Georgia Associa­tion of Teachers of Speech in Atlanta.

The Faculty had a nutty party at which Dr. Phelan appeared with a fiery red nose; Dr. Punke came in the guise of artist with goatee; and Dr. Reade made his appearance with a charcoal mus­tache and huge scarf around his waist.

What’s In A Name

Sketching The Seniors

— By Dr. Marian E. Farbar —One does not think of a little

pink pill as food but if a parti­cular kind of pink pill represents an amount of Thyroid extract which when given to a person whose “ thyroid manufacturing plant” is running low and it whips up the millions of little furnaces we have all thru our bodies so food can better ox­idize and serve us, so surely, to a certain extent at least, this little friend is food in disguise.

Overweights, whose thyroid output is low, have been able to lose weight on a sustained diet, and, strange as it might seem, underweights on a full diet but whose index of assimilation is low, have been known to gain in health and slightly in weight by carefully regulated doses of the extract.

The body build of this type is usually not the long leg and arm type person, also, a number of other “lows” are in the picture; low blood pressure, low haemo­globin per cent, slow pulse, and a tendency to sub-normal tem­perature, and often a white blood cell count. In the average, of course, these lows are not serious, but everything just seems to be consistent with the low “ furnace fire.”

There is another type some­times seen: Some persons are a bit low in thyroid output be­cause they are low in pituitary extract, for the latter has a thyroid stimulating element. We have here still another type of body build. Because a part of the pituitary gland limits bone growth, especially of the arms and legs, these people might be tall and slender or tall and heavy set. Naturally the need in these cases is properly regulated pitui­tary extract and not thyroid medication.

T h e s e endocrine products should not be taken without pro­fessional advice.

In closing we repeat: Body weight is a matter of inheri­tance, endocrine balance and consistency between food intake and energy output.

Both undernutrition and habi­tual over eating and excess weight are health hazards.
