Vhat about ihit bulinesa of compultory
chapel attendance^ V'hat arc we gome to do
about It-' U there no way that the students
can be convinced that chapel i« an ruential
part of the college career? If not. compuliory
chapel attendance ii the only way out'
Some lime ago thii propotiiion wat pre-
aenled to the ttudent body for thirty dav* ilic
attendance would be put on probation; that it,
t«venty-8ve per cent of the itudcnt body attend
ing every chapel. If. at the end of thit time, the
attendance had not been raitcd, compultory
chapel attendance would b« put into effect. And
what have we done about it ' Eiacily nothing’
In 10 many worda we are aaking for dictator
ship aome one to make ut do ihingt In an-
•wer to the propotilion, we arc taying, "No, we
can't make ouraelvea go we want a dictator to
Ri<ke ua go to chapel." Whal'a the matter with

other day two of our new students remarked
that they were not going to chapel bccauie they
would be bored. W hen a^ked why, they replied,
' Veil the other boya don’t go, to How do
they know they would be bored if they don’t go
and Rind out for themtclvea?
The faculty, at the recommendation of the
chapel program committee, preaenled lhi» plan
to the itudent body. They uiid tevenly-five per
cent. Rut, do we want ^venty-Rve per cent?
Ve want one hundred per cent attendance, and
why thouldn’t we have it^ We wilt have it if
we have compultory chapel attendance' And

IS either too bot and stuffy or too cold to be
comfortable- never moderate. The claaarooma
in the domitory are almost always cold in ibe
mornings, due to Ibe fact that the radiators arc
left oB through the night. And so are the
girb* rooms cold in the mornings. But at the
day wears on and evening approacbes, the
rooms begin to resemble ' hot boiler*," So, up
go the windows, causing a swifi draft to circu
late throughout the room.
The lighting system 1* practically as bad as
the beating system. In the bookkeeping room
are only two poorly situated lights. They very
inadequately provide light for atudents who
have clasaes in theae rooms at leatt live hour* of
the week. As far a* the clasarooma are con
cerned, the lighit are entirely too high to do
any good.
Aa a result of these condition* more and
more studentt are beginning to wear glasaes.
they Hnd that tbeir eyes are becoming conaider-
ably weaker. Doctors, through research, have
shown that poorly vcotilated room* are often
the cause of common coldt. These coldt, which
we call "jutt a cold", develop into more seriout
conditiofu. Mrs. U'llson suggests that (bis Iml-
tor may account for so many colds among (be
commercial studenta.

^(H K orlMON, 1'IJiA.SK:
Undoubtedly all of you remember the edito
rial in the Utt issue of this newspaper entitled
' I'ublicationi Board, " This was written for (he
purpose of getting general student and faculty
opinion on this very serious problem. Possibly
most of us do not fully understand the purpose
and the set-up of this Board. If you will refer
to the January issue you will see (ha( a I’ublica-
tionv Board functions for a six-fold purpose.
Also, in this editorial, the set-up wa« explained,
lielow are a few opinions (bat have been ga(h-
ered from here and yonder on the campus. Do
you agree’:' If not. why? If so, why? Let's
hear from you, ausai.
o
1 feel the need of a Publications Board be
cause my first-hand experience with the college
paper made me realize how inadequate the pres
ent set-up IS in dealing with problems. You nev
er know what you can do nor when you can do
It, A Publications Board would eliminate most
of these problems and would make it possible (o
put out be(ter and more interesting publica
tions.
BUKNEY McCOTTEK,
o
After a student has faithfully worked on
one of ihe college publications for (wo or (hree
years, he deserves some reward for (his service.
A selec( few become editors or business man
agers. while others receive no recognition at all.
The laiter happens because non-workers on pub
lications of (he student body don't consider ex
perience when they vote at elecdons. A Hub-
licadons Board would sec (0 it that experience
was nominated. At least we could give such a
Board a trial.
HOWAKD BLAKE
I think the Publications Board plan a good
one, providing enough time is taken in setting
It up to insure the popular support of (he stu
dent body.
R. MORGAN.
—0
1 am deHnitely in favor of a Publications
Board. First, because it would insure capable
and worthy staff members, and because (he
Collegia(e is (00 important not to be governed
and backed by .\ome such Board. A Publications
Board would serve as advisers.
■'PEANUT ' MORRIS
If for no other reason, a Publications Board
should be formed on the campus to eliminate
the incompetent, newly-elected publications
heads each year. Vl'Kb a good propor(ion of (he
student activKy fee invexed in (he publica(ions,
i( IS exiremely unwise (o ■ns(all edKors and bus-
inesa managers who have had no previous
(raining, even (hough (hey are sincere and con-
scien(ious. A Publica(ions Board would make
(his siluation impossible.
Amost every year the new staff heads have to
start from scratch; whereas, on the other hand,
continued improvement could be made, without
the set-back every year. The plan has my
whol»hear(ed approval.
ELMER MOTTERN
I favor (he es(ablishmen( of a Publicadons
Board. Such a Board would integrate the activ-
Kies of the various publications on (he campus,
would provide oppor(uni(y for free discussion
among s(afT members; would provide a means
of con(rolling more sa(isfac(only (he elec(ion of
staff officers. Publications are an impor(an(
part of campus lif«, Md (bey dwervc a separate
delibara(iog body. Most coUcges now have
suck boards, 1 believe.

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
Dear Mr. I’^itor:
i wouM Uke to «xpre«a my opin.
ion, alonff with the opinion of my
fellow itikHmta, regarding the
west vide of the campus where our
school busaea park. The students
who eat their lunch in the school
buftses and throw their paper and
ffarbage on the side walk make
our campus reM-mble the **City
Dump.**
This side of th<- campus is used
mo«i by our visilors, and 1 am
sure that this tranh does not leave
a good impression.
There are either of two things
that we can do: Fint, the school
busses can be driven down to t)\e
“Dump Yard," and let the stu
dents eat, l}ut I think this would
cause poor eatinjf; Second, the
busses can park in their regular
places providing the students will
clean up their trash after eating.
Remember, students, that the first
impression of a place is usually
the one that remains. Come on
and let’s help the campus workers
keep a clean campus.

A. C. SENIORS
When I asked George Loftin to
tell me about himself he said,
“Well, I wear glasses, I’ve never
done anything interesting, and if
nothing bad happens, I will grad
uate this spring.” That, to George
summed up his life in a nutshell,
but reading between the lines we
find much more interesting ma
terial.
He was graduated from South-
wood High School, which incident
ally is next to his homestead
“Mossy Oaks,” in 1937.
C^orge has a habit of being
treasurer of things. He was treas
urer of his class while a junior in
high school. Coming here, he
served as treasurer of the junior
class last year and this year holds
that same office in the senior class.
George entered Atlantic Chris
tian in the fall of 1937. That
spring he pledged Phi Delta Gam
ma. The next year saw him at
State College, but he couldn’t
stay away long so he returned to
his Alma Mater his junior year.
He has always been active in
the Y. M. CA and this year is its
president. George is also a mem
ber of the Questor’s Club for
Philosophers, and is vice-president
of the International Relations
Club.
He has served as vice-president
of his fraternity and last semes
ter he was its president.
George was also on the commit
tee to select the commencement
speaker, so, although Lester Ed
wards said he has slept three-
fourths of the time he has been
here, George has managed to do
quite a lot.

HASSELL, A*ent
“Oh, I’ve never done anythinj
outstanding!” this outsWndiii,
senior said, when I approadud
her to find out her accomplijli.
ments first hand.
This diminutive senior wu
graduated from Charles L. Coon
High School in 1937. Jacqueline
Scarborough Daniels was the
name on the diploma of the
smallest member of the class ol
’37; but as Jack says, “1116 best
things always come in small pack,
ages.” She has proved this adage
through her college career.
During her freshman year Jack
took commercial work. The neit
near she transferred to A, B. work
and this year she will be gradu
ated with the class she started
with. That’s really doing all right
Not very many honor roll listj
have been sent out without Jack'j
name on it, yet she is always ii
the midst of any fun that'happens
to be going on.
She deceived her numerals the
first year at A. C. as a member
of the W. A. A. The next year
she earned a letter. Last year she
served as vice-president of that
organization, and this year she
is secretary.
Tile first year of her A B.
work. Jack pledged to Phi Sipns
Tau. First semester of this year
she was treasurer of the sororitj,
and has recently been elected
as president of Phi Sigma Tau.
So you see her statement, “I'vt
never done anything outstanding,"
was not quite true, was it?
