The student body accepted bag
lunches Monday evening, Febru
ary 7th, and turned Bert Hardy
Hall over to the Boy Scouts of
Eastern North Carolina for their
annual banquet and Father and
Son rally.
The program began at six thirty
o'clock and the hall was almost
filled to capacity with scouts and
their fathers. The fathers saw
their sons in action as they sang
their songs and pronounced their
scout oiih.
The meeting was held jointly
with the Rotary Club and was a
part of the National Boy Scout
Week, which is being celebrated
throughout the United Sutes.
Mr. Garry Fulghum, President
of Rotary Club, presided over t}n6
meeting; and Rev. Hobbi, pastor
of the First Methodist church of
Wilson, pronounced the invocation
The main address of the evening
was delivered by Charlie Phillips,
of Greensboro.
In his welcoming address to fa
thers and sons, President Fulg-
hum stressed the fact that we
are engaged in the most important
business in the world, that of de
veloping man power as represent
ed in our children and said that the
boy of today is the man of tomor

The Y. M. C. A. gave a penny
carnival February 4th in the gym
nasium. This was the biggest car
nival given at the college this
year. Most of the student body
attended, along with a large crowd
of town people. Mr. Teachey’s
String Band of Wilson entertained
the audience with fifteen minutes
of music in the distinctly Teachey
style.
There were many new attrac
tions such as: cake walk, hoop
throwing, and rifle shooting. The
Bingo stand and refreshment
booth were centers of attraction
during the entire evening.
To climax the activities of the
evening, Mr. Charles Byrd was
crowned as the ugliest man in
school. Mr. Byrd won over David
Lewis, Hugh Kelley, and Robert
Dixon in the election.
Profits from the carnival go to
the Y. M. C. A. to help carry on its
activities the second semester.

The response to the address of
welcome was made by Claude Gar

ers for the time and attention
they have given scouts.
“Mustard and Gravey’* put on

President Garry Fulghum then
presented Charles Phillips, of
Greensboro, the speaker of the ev
ening.
W. W. McKm, field secretary of
the Southern region of Student
Christian Asaociations waa invited
by the Y. M. C. A. to spend two
days on our camuus. He met with
the Y. M. C. A. cabmef, Y. M. and
Y. W., and addressed the studenta
at chapel on February 1st.
The Y. M. C. A. was particularly
interested in having him becausc
of its plans to join the National
Y. M. C. A. organization. Hi* first
meeting on the campus was with
the Y. M. cabinet, in which he out
lined the up-to-dat^ trends in the
work and organisation of K!^ris-
tian Student Asaociations. He em
phasized the fact that most colleg
es an* breaking away from tradi
tion by reorganising Christian as
sociations and councils that include i
both men and women. The older
divisions betwei*n various denomi
national groups and sects, and the >
sexes are becoming unified bodies I

campus, I
In this talk to the Y. M.-Y. W.
group meeting, Mr. McKee painted'
a word picture of the world of
youth. 1
He stressed three points—inter- j
dependence, world of many artifi
cial barriers and the need of see
ing life in its totality.
“A disturbance in one part,” he,
said, *'is a disturbance in other
parts. One part of the world may
seem to be engaging in insignifi-.
cant Incidents that suddenly be-’
come powerful factors in the mode
life erarywheve.

T^aVe Trtate-
ments contain the core of the phi
losophy expressed by Mr. McKee.
We live in a world of artificial
barriers. "Hiere are many di
visions. Certain individuals and
groups are trying to put an un
important part in the middle of
the road. In economics, a small
part occupies the center and thus
blocks the center of the road for
the free passage of the bulk of
humanity.
Much remains for Christian
groups to bear. However, we must
first realize a unity and oneness
with all Christian groups. Fur
ther, we must realize our respon
sibility to and for all.

ary 27th, in the A. C. College Gym
was enthusiastically received by a
large audience of students and
music lovers from Wilson and oth
er towns. The delightful program
was beautifully and artistically
rendered.
Miss Apple opened with a diffi
cult but well-given group of Ger
man lieder, in which she covered
herself with glory. The French
group, including the dashing,
sparkling bolero, “Le.s Filles de
Cadix” (Delibes) and the ever-
popular "Mon Coeur s*ouvre a la

brought repeated expressions of
great enthusiapm from her hear

TUOOP “X” ORGANIZED
Roebuck, Little, Kelly Selected
Patrol Leaders
The opening session of the ele
mentary course in Scout leader
ship got under way at Atlantic
Christian College with the Scout
executive acting a* Scoutmaster.
Three patrols were organized and
Harvey Little, E. l<eon Roebuck,
Jr., and Hugh Kelley were selected
as patrol leaders of the Training
Troop X. These three patrol lead
ers will meet in the Scout Council
office to plan in detail other ses
sions of the course. It meets in
Room No. 6 from 7:00 to 8:30 on
each Tuesday night.
The tenderfoot requirements
were dj^ussed and those taking
the course were given a booklet
entitled, "It’s Fun to be a. Scout"
This will be their first textbook.
The Scouting objectives and pro
gram are explained. The execu
tive said the objectives of scooting
were to build character and train
citiiens. Mr. Sigwald explained
how the Scout program obtains
character through: organization,
leadership, ideals and principles.
Scout method of training by doing,
and activities.
All this program is a means to
the ultimate objective “to produce
N. T. Ilar\ey, graduate of New
\ork University, and now Presi
dent of Youth Conferences in Am
erica, led the discussion at a Y.
M, C. A. meeting on Jan. 31. Hl-
is not only head of Negro Youth
Conferences, but of all Confer
ence- of America.
Mr. Harvey outlined the three
major problems youth faces today.
The problem of war and t>eace is
of viul concern to all Christians,
especially to the youth that will
form the leadership of tomorrow.
In this connection he raised soma
questions. ‘'What roust we believe
about it?"
"Is it National Defenae? l*re-
paredness? Or is it expressive of
true Democracy? Is war ever
justified? What stand should a
Christian take?”
The second problem concerned
the Kconomic order. Radical
changes by irrational people are
not the true aolutions. What atti
tude should We take toward labor
struggles? Is our present eco
nomic system satisfactory? Du
we need a new deal or a new
game? Know the facts. Chris
tian Youth should be familiar with
consumer’s co-operatives, labor
problems, and economic malad
justments.
The third problem was of most
interest to the group that heard
Mr, Harvey. H<- is a highly tr»hi-
ed who has been asaiuiated
wfch vario'T: r*. i»l situation., that
c'lnremed httn and the people nf
Ha rac«.
Mr. TTarvey 'sTiowed tiiat race
prejudice exists in other countries
as well as here, but it manifests
Itself in a different form between
different peoples. It is not only
the Negro who has barriers built
against him. As a matter of fact
in European countries Negroes
hsve a much higher standing than
white men of certain nationalities
have. A good deal of it can be
traced to economic causes, not
mere heredity of color and physical
feature differences.
Among the student group activi
ties that would help sUrt right
movement in regards to the three
problems mentioned, he outlined
Ihe following:
1—Forums--I’ool our Interest
and Ideas and reconstruct our
thinking.
2— -Desire to be aware of the
actual situation by reading and di
rect contact.
3—B.'- personal evangelists in
the spresd of facts.
4—-Take part in student strikes
and demon«trations against war,
unfair economic situations, etc.
5—Dramatize social problems In
dramatic preiientations.
8 Invite strikers, communists,
pacifists, extreme conservationists,
and radicals to hear all sides.
