Gives Rcport_Of Annual
Science Convention
IS A. A. A. S. MEMHER
Meeting Attracts Many
Science Authorities
Dr. Warner of the Department
of Biology recently presented a
report in chapel of the 103rd an
nual meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science. This report brought
to the student body the under
standing of the manner in which
the work of the scientist, both big
uid small, in all fields is carried
on.
Being a member of the A. A. A.
s., Dr. Wagner has participated
in its previous activities and has
therefore been able to present a
full picture of the organization.
The association contains many
subdivisions of specific organiza
tions covering all fields of science.
The more outstanding men of
science are elected as “Fello'ws.”
This meeting in Richmond was
typical of the association’s annual
meetings. Eminent men of sci
ence like Sir Richard Gregory of
Great Britain, and Dr. Berkhoff
of Harvard University were lead
ers and guest speakers.
Throughout the day technical
meetings were held by various
groups. Members could attend
any of them. . Likewise there were
exhibits of every description.
Anyone who has done enough
research along a definite line
could speak before certain meet
ings and present his findings.
These papers were later judged
ami a prize of $l,000.0(f was of
fered to the best.
Besides the technical and scien
tific meetings, Dr. W'agner point
ed out the social functions of the
Various groups were
f .iOntri* and receptions. At
i. ontact* with prominent
m' '■ made possible. Dr. In-
m:.-, ibe authority on photosyn
thesis, was among those at her
dinner table. Contacts with such
prominent men were of great val
ue, as were the reunions with old
friends who were met at previous
conventions or in some phase of
previous scientific work. These
reunions sometimes became more
important than lectures or tech
nical meetings.
Further entertainment of con
vention members Was furnished
by trips to American Tobacco
Company, Phillip Morris, Southern
Biscuit Company, Dismal Swamp,
historic W'ililamsburg, and other
places of interest.
Dr. Wagner took particular
note of the exhibits and projects

Helps In Enlargement
Drive For Books
The standard requirement of the
State Board of Education is that
all school libraries have a mini
mum of 12,000 books by February
1, 1939. Our library at the pres-
ent has 11,403 volumes. It is in
creasing daily, and the librarian
is confident that the goal will be
reached. Mrs. Charles L. Coon
has recently made the very gen
erous contribution of 250 volumes,
a few of which are duplicates.
She is also planning to give a few
more to the college. These books
were taken from the collection of
her husband, who was at one time
superintendent of schools.
Others who have helped to
reach this goal are Mr. Marsh-
burn, Mr. Perry, Mr. Scarboro,
Mr. Cooke, and Mr. Ware. Mem

Wilson Welfare
Gives Students'
Gifts At Party
Many Students Assist In
Securing Gifts
It is the custom of the Wilson
Welfare Association every year to
give the underprivileged children
of Wilson a Christmas party. This
year the party was held at the
new Wilson armory on Dec. 23. i
The parents of the children at- j
tended the party and seemed to i
enjoy it as much as any of the
children.
First the children sang Christ
mas carols, and everyone joined
in to give the familiar songs a
true spirit of ChristniaB. After
the singing, Mr. Barclay told the
children the Christmas story of
Tiny Tim, which the children
never seem to tire of hearing.
Then the children were given
presents individually, donated by
Atlantic Christian College stu
dents. It has been a joy and a

Junioi's Sponsor
Student'Faculty Games Here
Shortly after exams, the men'
of the faculty will shed* their j
scholastic caps and gowns and don/
basketball uniforms to do battle;
with the men of the Sigma Alpha i
fraternity. This game is under
the «ponsot*Mp of the Junior
class (md the Juniors are planning
to make this event a doublehead
er with a game between the wo
men of the faculty and any of the
wonfen students who wish to play.
This idea was put into practice
several years ago and it has been
reported from various sources
that it was a great success. Al
though it has not been suggested
for two or three years the Juniors
feel that with the support of the
student body and with the co-op
eration of the faculty it can be
done so as to afford real enter
tainment to the student*.
Coach Herring has been ap
proached with the idea, think* it
a good one, and promises to get a
team from the faculty and coach
it. A representative of the class
has been appointed to see Mr*.
Hodges, but as this goe* to pre»s
no response has been received.
We feel sure that Mr*. Hodge*
will do her best to gather and
coach a team from the women of
the faculty. A complete li*t of
the member* of both team* will
be posted as soon a* the two
coaches can begin to whip the
players into shape.
There will be a small admUsion
fee which will go to pay for the
annual Junior-Senior banquet and
the Junior das* will appreciate
the full *upport of the »tudent
body.
Come out and we promiae some
grand entertainment and fan for
all.

'I'o Help In Securing Books
For Library
On January 5th, the ministers
of the Christian Churches through
out North Carolina were invited
to a luncheon at the Bert Hardy
Memorial Hall. Cecil A. Jarman,
Dean of Men, presented the min.
inter* individually to the *tudenta,
pointing out that about fifty per
cent of those present are alumni
of this college.
Following the luncheon, the
group of minister* were invited
to inspect the campus and build
ings with Presiilent Hilley, Pro
fessor Water* and Professor Jar
man acting a* ho*t*.
Ijiter in the afternoon a bu*i-
ness meeting waa held, presided
over by Dr. Jenkins, chairman of
the Library Committee. Dr. Jen-
kin* is head of the Department of
Engli*h here at the college. Presi
dent Hilley presented the present
library problem before the
meeting. He pointed out that
there was an urgent need of some
2,000 books in order to completa
the necessary number of 12,000 so
that the college can maintain this
library standard of the Southern
Accredited College*. Dr, Hilley
asked the eo-operatlon of the min
isters, and through them, the co.
operation of their home congrega
tions. Since the college is main
ly church-supported, the necessity
of the cooperation of the church
members was *tre«*ed.
The purpo*e was readily en
dorsed and adopted by the min
ister* present.
Among the minister* of eastern
North Carolina present a* gue*t*
of the college for this occa*ion
