DEAR EDITOR:
Maybe I'm not one to talk but
It seem* to me that I've heard
a lot about a cooperative “Y"
store on the campus. Will you
, please give me lome information
One of A. C.'s ANOt U ha, been iinghty ^
will It be installed?
In the beginning, the *torc was
to be moved down to first fliwr
of the Girl*’ Dormitory. The next
time, there was to be a nice, small
building to be located )ust outsidi'
the dormitory, and now 1 hear
the wind has been blowing again
Why can't the MILLKK from Marion make
up his inind'r First it's SFIOKTV from S. C-,
then It's the little MOOKb girl, and the next
tune It's JAMES. Another South Carolinian
also fits into the triangle. You really should
make your decision. Seems like he's up a
MILL. Nevertheless, it must be a great JOY.
Our new student from Mass. really gets
around. Wonder what our little baby BUNT-
INC thinks about the situation? Nice that
she's a senior and can date during the week.
.About the worst thing that has occurred
during this year was when one of the old stu
dents came back lor a certain initiation and
found his girl friend away. But then thirty
inilc-s isn't so lar. I suppose it would be dif-
lerent traveling on a CAKT. Be FRANK
about It. don't you think that's WKIGHT?
Vk hen John arrives at A. C. C , I'll bet he
thinks he has reached I'lE LAND.

Who wouldn't BAKK-ley when she has a
good looking man ANN a convertible all

you.

corps. Don't worry—he will think of you ev
cry day because he'll be flying around them.

Dear Kirby;
Think* much

My principal duty here is ih

It IS my re*ponsibiIity to give.

make report* on result* to the
faculty We keep in our office a
-rnipUtt folder on each student,
quite independent of the record*
in the registrar * office. Then I
Jfti constantly engaged in mter
viewing students with a view to
preventing or correcting mistakes
in refereiwe to their studies. I do
not have anythmg to do with
•formal discipline." Mine i* an
educational guidance function In
coiine.tum with the personnel of-
iKe 1 teach Onentation to the
freshmen. This is similar to the
course Mr. Case ha* taught at A.
C.
So far a* other teaching is con- ^
i-.-rned, 1 am not over burdened to'
jy the least. In fact 1 have only'
OIK- cl.iH brsidf' Orientation! It
IS a lourf in the fundamentals of
pliili~>phy Five seniors and one
junior ar^- ennilled in this course.
It IS jast what 1 want by way of a'
clasu and I am greatly enjoying it.;
A* to my impressions, here are
a few. The general appearance of
the c.iinpus is very beautiful. We
are always in sight of mountains.
The lawns this year arc especially I
K-aimful, since we have had far:
more i..m tlun usual. The build-'
iiigs .ire in excellent londition.
Tlic oftice staff is an amazing
thini; to me There is a treasurer
and .in iissi^tant treasurer. These
are both men and are recognised
as equals of the faculty. The
president has a full time secretary;
«o hn* the field lepresentative; so
have the dean and the registrar.
Then, too, there is a man who ad
ministers the work xholarships
and a printer in charge of the
print shop. All of us have stu
dent assistants.
So far as my impressions of stu
dents go. certainly they come
from a much wider radius than at
A. C. Several are from New Eng
land or New York, many come
from Texas or Oklahoma, and the
middle west and south are well
repri-K-nted.
The members of the faculty are
exceptionally fine, we think.
Tliere is a great deal of unity and
cooperation. We are as well
pleased with the faculty as witli
•my other feature of the mstitu
tion.
You asked about my duties.
Well, I m on the chapel committee
ag.iin. I am sponsor of the Y M
C. A I'm chairman of the com
mittee on tlie schedule (though I
do not know just what that is). I
am on the committee on educa
tional studies (which would re
quire another letter to explain )
So you see I shall not be idle.

tending greetings to our friends

Oh Mac Kelly
Prcmptly at the crack of dawn
in the year of 1938 a little fresh
man girl put in her appearance
here at A. C. who was really to
history. Most likely from the
reasonably exact facsinule dis
played above you've guessed it. She
was Miss Ola Mae Kelly, who
hailed from Pfafftown.
It wasn't long before Ola Mae
began to show she wasn’t one of
the average. For at the beginning
of her freshman year Ola Mae was
elected Secretary of her class and
at the end of that year she was
welcomed into the W. A. A. and
eleaed Sophomore representativi
in that organization. Ola Mae had
been outstanding in the Y. W. C.
A., so she was given a responsible
position in the cabinet.
Ola Mae's junior year was an
outstanding year. She had been
elected, m the fall of her sopho
more year, president of the Y.
W. C. A. With a head full of
ideas she took over this very re
sponsible position. By being presi
dent of this organization she was
automatically a member of the
Women’s Dormitory Council and
again the W .A. A. found in her
a faithful worker as the Junior-
Senior Representative.
Evidently, Ola Mae learned a
great deal about handling the girls
that year, for it was in the spring
that slie was elected President of
the Women's Dormitory Coun
cil. From observation she is doing
a grand job of this task. At least
none of the girls have had restric
tions yet, eh, Ola Mae?
1 have often wanted to hear and
see a woman lawyer in the courts
of America. There are some, and
it seems that with all the practice
Ola Mae has had here at A. 0.
C. slie might well become a law
yer. Who knows? She might.
Anyway, here’s to Ola Mae and
all she has done for us! ! !

Dear Editor:
A matter ha* been preying on
my mind (?) for quite some time.
Tis a little matu-r which has to
^ with the fair. The fair will be
here around the twentieth. The
high fc:h.»l students all get passes
into the gate and half a day off for
the occasion. And the coUege—
7- T t>>ne
oft. but we don't get passes to
the gate either. Ain't d^re
^>mcthing that could be done about
this drastic situation? Course I’m
just a student and don’t know how
Happy days are here again. Or
maybe it should be normal days
are here again, beause initiation
days are done with. All the fra
ternities and sororities are through
with giving the lowly pledges
run around.” Each was climaxed
with supper at Golden Weed Grill,
Dixie Inn or some other of the
well-known eating “joints” in or
near town.
It IS rumored that the girls were
just a little harder this year than
in previous years, and the boys are
all mighty careful how they sit
down, for paddles were swung
fast and hard.
Before long you will see win
dows shining, floors clean, beds
made, etc.. in all the fraternity
houses, for there is always that
spirit of cleanliness when home
coming is near—as it is. The so
rorities and fraternities will hold
open house on Saturday. October
25. They will be looking forward
to seeing all their brothers and
sisters again. And if any of them
get lost, they will find that Sig ma
