OPPORTUNITIES
IN JOURNALISM
, ARE DESCRIBED
Growth of a Nation Is Shown in
Advance of Newspapers.
WOMEN WRITERS* SOUGHT
"If There Be Any Praise Write
on These Things."
Miss Jcanctte M. Collins' t;ilk on
journalism at chapel Thursday
morning fell into two divisions, (L)
why journalism offers such a great
opportunity, and (2) what these op-
portunities are. Miss Collins point-
ed out in the first case that the
people arc dependent on the news-
papers for national, foreign, or lo-
cal news. Consequently the news-
paper reaches a greater number, and
offers great opportunities for poli-
tical,' economic, and educational in-
fluence. The development of the
newspaper has been parallel with
the growth of the nation, its broad-
ening interests and activities.
The newspaper, by virtue of its
•side circulation in all classes of so-
ciety, is in position to serve the
Community by presenting clearly the
problems that confront the people of
it3 community and the best method
ot' solving them; that is, the best
solution which will mean the great-
est advantage to the greatest num-
ber. Any editor who has this as the
sim of his paper answers as noble a
calling as any minister.
In pointing out what some of the
opportunities arc, Miss Collins listed
thr newspaper, the magazine, and
both commercial and social service
publicity. There is a special oppor-
tunity offered for reporters, espe-
cially of women's politics.
Women make.good Sunday writers,
Uual-inhere is also an opportunity
j offered in the writing of criticism
and in work on women's magazines.
| Another opportunity is that of the
research departments in other mag-
• av.incs.
"Whatsoever things are honest,
[whatsoever thing.? arc just, whatso-
e'er things arc pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things
[are of good report; if there be any
[virtue, if there be f*ny praise, write
[of these things,'
'in closing.

C R I T I C I S M IS UNFAIR
The Rev. L. D. Anderson, pastor
of the First Christian church of the
city, began a special series of ser-
mons Sunday night on problems of
! since they arc interested in, the unui^youth. His first subject wal "If
I Were Twenty-one." The first-
Christian pastor recently mailed out
Mary Louise Davis, and Gladys
tedley «iyht tThc'Vw^.nnd in Burk-
several hundred letters to men and
women asking for information on
which to base his sermons. He also
sent letters to'and interviewed young
men and women to receive their
views.
In one of his letters to a T. W.
C. girl, Uov. Anderson said: "You
have noted the current epidemic oT
criticism of youth. Probably you
agree with me that much is unjust.
There is misunderstanding between
young people and their seniors on
both sides.
"Jn order that 1 may present fairly
the viewpoints and ideals of young
people," added the pastor, "1 am
asking a few of the more gifted
and thoughtful to write me briefly
what traits they admire most in
men and women of their acquaint-
anceship. There arc a few people
whom you esteem and honor highly.
Will you tell me what- in them you
like best?" concluded Mr. Ander-
son.
His second Sermon, October 12,
will be "If I Were Nineteen." His re-
maining two sermons will be built
on the testimony of youth. They
are "What I Like Dost in Men," and
"What I Like Best in Women."
All young people are urged to hear
these helpful talks.

Miss Louise Puckctt and Miss
Alice Mulkey were elected joint
business managers of the "Txwoco,"
Friday, October 4. The election was
of great interest to all on the campus
as the position to be filled is one of
the most important and responsible,
ones of the college.
This is the first time that two
students have been elected tp this
uiffice. In former J'ears one person
has filled the place, but due to the
amount of work necessary to "carry"
the edition it was decided that the
responsibility- should rest upon two
girls. It is interesting to note that
this is the first time that members
of the Junior class have been elected
to this position.
Miss Louise Puckett, who has been
elected one of the "Txwoco" busi-
■■ - -i
ness mSYiager is a junior ir, T- W.
C , a member of the pep squad, a®l
the Korosophian Literary Society.
The laSt two years Miss 'Puckett
was a dormitory student, but this
year she is living at home and is
taking special work in piano and pipe
organ..
Miss Alice Mulkey, who was elect-
ed one of the business managers of
the "Txwoco," is doing junior work
although this is her first year in
T. W. C. She is also a member of
the Handout staff and of the legis-
lative board.
Miss Mulkey came from Clarendon
College where she was yell leader.
.TROUBLES FIND SOLUTION
The Y. W. C. A of T. W. ,C. ren-
dered a very good advertising pro-
gram at the chapel hour Wednes-
day morning. The devotional was
led by Miss Maurine Phifer, presi-
dent of the organization.
Miss Ella Snipes, undergraduate
representative of the Y. W. C. A.,
told the student body about the
troubles and pleasures of a wftKi.large
family, known «is the' Peterlftti^T 'This
particular . family always took all of
their troubles to the lady from Phil-
adelphia, who lived next door, in or-
der that they might be - solved. And
so the Y. W- C. A. is just one large
national family with a lady from
New York to work out their plans.
Miss Snipes introduced the Y. W. C.
A. family of our town school and
since • it is very interesting all new
members who wish to join this family
may do so.
The personnel of the family as in-
troduced were:
Josephine Kennon, industrial girl;
Dorothy Churchill, business girl;
Maude Maddox, girl reserve; Wilda
Flannigan, foreign girl; Juanita

IMTY THE POOR LETTER "15."
Some one has decided that the let-
ter "e" is the most unfortunate let-
ter in the English alphabet hccausti
it is always out of cash, l'drcver in
debt, never out of danger, and in
hell all the time. N'o little credit u
due, however, in that it is never in
war, and always in peacc. And «■<;
are deeply indebted to this little let-
ter since it. is the beginning of ex-,
istencc and commencement of ease
and the end of trouble. Without it
Uj^r»> would be no meat, 110 life and
r.o heaven. It is the center of
honesty, and although it starts off
in error, it ends by making love per-
fect—-Exchange.
