Budgeting One’s Time
Law an a Davis, ’39
Before a college girl can become a
well-educated person she must develop
interests in ten phases of human ac
tivity, according to the substance of a
talk in chapel by President Read. She
must learn to develop an intelligent
interest in (1) her physique, (2) her
work, (3) her sense of personal prop
erty, (4) pleasure, (5) science, (6) art,
(7) her family, (8) society, (9) her
state, and (10) religion. These ten
phases, Miss Read explained, were
used by the late President Hyde of
Bowdoin College to help an individual
analyze his own character. Every stu
dent would like to develop along these
lines, to become the kind of person
one would like to be; but it is hard
to find time to do all one likes.
The making of a budget of one’s time
is therefore a practical idea for the
student who wants to do the best she
can. Although the average student’s
day seems too crowded to do much
more than study, a good schedule will
show time for other activities as well.
The average class schedule requires
sixteen hours, plus the thirty-two hours
per week of study in preparation for
these classes—two hours of study be
ing advised for each hour of class
work. If the student’s day is from
(i A.M. to 10 P.M.—sixteen hours long
—and she plans for a six-day week,
she has exactly one-half of her wak-
ing hours for things other than study,
or forty-eight hours a week in which
to attend to her physical needs, per
sonal grooming and exercise, play,
social and religious needs, creative in
terests, and dreams. With good plan
ning these forty-eight hours will prove
adequate for attention to development
of interests in the nine phases besides
work—which has forty-eight hours for
itself alone.
A budget of each day of the seven
has been made by students in all sec-
toins of freshman English, to be kept
in the front of their notebooks and

has worked it out is conscious of time
as a most valuable possession which one
often does not appreciate until it is
too late. The student who wants to
fit everything into her schedule that
she needs to make her a well-rounded
individual will find that she can do it
if she will budget all of her time, pro
viding even the moments when she
wants to do “nothing” with a space
on her schedule. After all, one never
has any more time than is given each
day!
Flash!
So many things are happening these
days that it takes more energy than we
have to write it down. Here are a few
brief summaries.
Miss Lou Ching Chou, principal of
the Girls High School in Manchung,
China, will be a guest on Spelman Cam
pus within a few days. She will be
here to attend the educational confer
ence to be held in Atlanta.
John Langdon Daves, outstanding
English author, scholar, journalist, and
lecturer is to appear at Spelman Col
lege November 20, 1935. Mr. Langdon-
1 laves has collected several professions;
he has been a school master, stage man
ager, candidate for Parliament, pub
licity director for a movie company,
and student of Modern and Folk dance.
At Oxford he was an anthropologist,
but he deserted this to remain free
and live as he pleases, rather than to
remain a student permanently. He has
held four scholarships and exhibitions
at Oxford, including the Sir Thomas
White scholarship in modern history.
He has written several books, two of
which have been selected as especially
outstanding.

Dr. Frederick Douglass Pat
terson Formally Made
President of Tuskegee
Although it has been known since
April that Dr. Patterson would be
come the third president of Tuskegee
Institute by choice of the trustees, the
formal inaugural ceremonies were not
held until October 28 on Tuskegee’s
campus. Dr. Patterson, a native of
Washington, D. C., formerly headed
the Agricultural Department at Tus
kegee Institute. Both former presi
dents, Booker T. Washington and Rob
ert R. Moton, were graduates of Hamp
ton Institute.
Though he is not a product of
Hampton Institute, it does not seem,
however, that there is to be a change
of policies by Dr. Patterson, for the
body of his address promised that
there would be no changes in the basic
educational policy of Tuskegee Insti
tute because “there is an increased
rather than decreased need for a tech
nical program of education for Ne
groes.’’ In addition to this, President
Patterson stated that the program of
the institution would be flexible and
sensitive to the environmental changes
of the outside world and in this man
ner keep abreast of other great learn
ing institutions.
In the past, Tuskegee Institute has
been proud of the men and women
who have been able to contribute both
in a tangible and definite way to the
welfare of their respective communi
ties and under Dr. Patterson, Tuske
gee intends to keep expanding and en
larging along the same lines, in order
to continue to serve the world as well
as the race.

Roast duck is said to be good for
rheumatism. It sounds like a quack
remedy, to me.
Two girl friends met in the street
one day. “I hear you've broken off
your engagement,’’ said one of them.
“Oh, dear, yes,” answered the other;
“Jack simply became impossible, lie
criticized the way I dressed, objected
to my friends, and always expected me
to be at his beck and call. Then, on
top of all that, he suddenly went off
and worried another girl. So I simply
made up my mind to have nothing more
to do with him. ’ ’
