Yep, ye olde Kain- l>\iz/.ations is beinn' sjiveii from tlie easiy chair this inoiith and tiiis is due partly to tlit> fatilly Christmas di gestion (slight case of overeating) and these new shoes kinda slow tip m,\ walking (kinda ran out of U'ather at the toe and made them too short). Well en(uigh to talk about the change in things let's get to moseing around the old campus and see what has been cooking lief(ire, during, and since Xnsas! Wiio said Santa Claus wasn't any more—we know he is because we liad a real live one at oiu- Chi'istmas p;irty that the Student Senate cooked up, and he put gifts in all our "holey" stockings, too.

SKXIOKS FlUST—I’U()CI:KI) : The Seniors gave a i-anUing good dinner Tuesday, .January Ki. for those lucky yardbii'ds that grad on tlu> mid year.

JH'TJl HVATT, '45, of a Practice Teacher School days! School days! Dear ole golden rule days, Readin', writin’, 'ritlimetic Don't dare hit a child witli a hickory stick ! This is the situation certain Seniors, better known as “practice teachers” by the old school and by the modern school as “student teache.rs,” (same difference), have been in. October was the “D-day" montli for these SMiiors in the fields of history, home econoiuics, lOnglish, conimercial education, elemen tary (‘ducation, science, and physical (Mlucation. It was then, Octolier 9 and 12, that practice teachers were as signed to various and sundry posts. These “posts” included Sedalia, Winsfon-Salem, ReidsvilU*, ,1. C. Price, Charles .Mo(U'(', Washington Street, Florence and dealt ole Dudley. The Sedalia "P.-T."s had an obnoxious transportation problem as well as time. Everyday th(\v left classes to trod through the weather to the I’nion Hus station, join the mad rush of bus trav- (4ers, put up witli iiast.v drivers iuid, above all, stand on the highway while bus(^s ]iassed tlu'iii by—overcrowded. The l'’lorence “P.T.s" could not carry on work there due to tr;insportation, and were placed in the iijiper griules of the Elementary schools here. The student teachers nad their ups and downs, liesides supervisors, prin cipals, and critic teachers, lesson jilaiis gave eternal lu'adaches, especially when they were returned with “s(»e ni(‘" written all over them. Well, the road to .success is hard and tlu“ only path to the road is ('xp(‘rieiice. How ever, tli(‘ student ft'ai hers did not niind the t(*aching, but did they mind the inf'(>rnal h'sson plans. 'riie classroom situations were en joyable and interesting. I.ets look in on some cas(‘s. One teadier, from a non-rabbit section of a city, told her class, “The rabbit could have run up the lr('e." Xo doubt the class rollicked with laughter. She covered her mis- tak(> by saying, (luickly, that she often mixed the rabbit and the .squirrel— clev(‘rly done. The Home lOconomics girls -were asked such (piestions as “why don't we drink horsf' milk?" .-\ll sorts of prob- l(‘ins confronted the jirospective teach ers—from sex to Christniiis iiaper. Re gardless of the (iiiestions some answers were given or that good standby ex- luessioii 'T am not sure, but will look it up." One little fellow asked his teacher how to keep milk from spoiling. Her answer was wrong according to him as he IVlt it should be kept in the cow. history teacher was asked \vhen the college suiiervisor came in, "Is that poor guy your boy friend?" “What is the .Vdam's .Apple?" ask(Hl the science t('aclier. “The likker cuii," answered the student, .\nother history teadier was asked, “Who was the first general in the first war in the world?” Can you answer this? Re.search, eh? .\n English teacher was asked whetlKM- it rained or snowed during tiie 20 yt'ars Rip Van W'inkle slept. 4'hese iiiid other incidents mark the semester of work and play for those girls who thought teaching was tlu'i! calling. “Suiiima Cum Laude'' to Chef .ram- erson for the nice meals and for the patience he had with the girls. 'I’he last day lie treated theui with pork chops, prune plums, asparagus and milk. 'I’he practice teachers i)f this semester wish to salute the (’hof and his co-workers. All articles to be printed in the February issue of the Banner are to be turned in hy February 12 to any member of the Editorial Hoard. “Ay, look, high heaven and earth will form tlie prime fouii'iation .Ml tlioughts to trive the heart :ire here, and all are vain ; Horror and scorn and bate and fear and indignation— Oh, why did I awake? When shall I slw'p again?" In a very few months perha;js those six of us who are going out to find their places in the world '\ill wonder about this. They will wonder why, after four years of enjoyment anil ease, so many problems will looiii on the horizon. 'Phey will perhaps wondiT wdiy college life gives one no insight in to the maze in which they lind them selves after thep step beyond Ihe col lege gate. All of the vices will l>e there like harpies perched on the bridge of life . . . “horror and scorn and bate and fear and indignation” . . . Vou can not ignore them. 'I'hey are as dom inant as the so-called virtues--love, lolerance, honesty, for they 'vill l)e there, too, like doves perched on the other side. Which way are you going? Perhaps, those sisters of ours have al ready chosen their side of the bridge, perhaps they have not. Your philosopher does not profess to be a moralist or a “pul[iiteer,” but allow this “anxious” one to pass on a tiiought. It stvnis thiit there ar(- cer tain forc(“s which are ever changing —never stagnant—tilings like personal opinions. Have you (wer been So sure that you disliknl a person, and afti'r knowing tiiem a while, lind tliat he’s not stich a bad fellow after all? Do you hate your neighbor or is it envy that you feel? Emotions, — ines-amis, are fleeting things. 'Fliere is nothing more illusive than a fettling. Vou can tindersfaiid thaf when anger gets the best (!■ you and you forget all self conti'ol and always on Ihe tomorrow wonder w ly you did it. X'ou are afraid of .'i thing and you worry, but laK'f on 11 loses its signifii anc.* an l yoi.r wor:(y was in vain. That's life. .Man, by n.iture, is a feeling being. We are not nnturally Stoics, but i say, hang on to those feeling. Don't let them get away from you. For, you can't ignore them in other peojile. -Vs a Negro, you may be hated, as a suc cess, you may be scorneil, but are you going to join the ranks whose lives are ruled by hate, scorn and indignation? Ijook . . . high heaven and earth will form the prime foundation—th(»y are the permanent things—and there are certain rules which have accompanied the high heaven and earth—laws which are responsible for the order of the universe. .And so, there are laws which man has set up—which permeate the entire universe. Under those laws fall —love of mankind, tolerance and Sym pathy, h(>ii(*ity. We label them vir tues! 'I’hink about it, and to those six graduates, remember what your old philosopher has said. (ood luck to you!!! The last time 1 was with yon, 1 had raised the qu(\stion about the Lyceum programs, and we are glad to see that the Lyc(‘uni Committee got to work. 'ITiaiik you for helping us to enjoy “'The Southernair('s”. W'e don't mind the joint recitals. W'e'll be quite anx ious to hear the report from the que.s- tionnaires on the 'riiursday Morning Music Period. We're glad that some thing was done about it. We are glad to hear also that there has b«»n formed a comniitte^ to thrash out the matter of permissions. 'I’liat’s the way a college cannius should be!!! Hack to this matter of hanging on to your emotions—let's not, forget it when we go to the Saturday movie. Th(*y are (piite an asset to our camiius activity, but if we appreciate them, we’ve got to show it. Sure, love scenas are touching, but ladles don’t yell and scream like coyotes, nor do we clap and stamp our feet when there’s an exciting scen(*. 'I'he funny thing abovit this thing is that we do none of tbo.se things in the movies down town, nor would we do it if we were sitting in the movie alone. Ironic, isn’t it, when we think tluit .someone told us not long ago that we were the most coiirtfKiiis group of college studtMits they had ever set'n? Hut, no, we are not even courteous to oiu'selves. Our beads should bang from eiubarassment. Think about it. Let’s stick together on this as we've done on other things. Good luck to you on exams!! Wish Oiiiji could help. A Bleiitot, LA PHILOSOPHIC. DRAFTING OF WOMEN A POSSIBILITY (Continued From Page One) the fate of the "universal draft” pro posal. On this matter, it can be safely said that the President's recent stand on the May Hill represents, at Its best, a mere temporary shift of em phasis. It does not remove the po.ssi- bility of the cotiscrii)!ion of women into the war efl'ort, if all HUALAN RE SOURCES are to b> mobilizt»d for the ruccessful prosecution of the war. Organiz('(l labor is in the front ranks (if those oppo.swl to the universal draft ing of man power. Labor leaders argue that such a step will not guarantee a greater increase in the production of war materials than could be expecttnl from a voluntary labor force. lUit whiMi the record of the voluntary sys tem of labor is arrayed, man hours lost through strikes, absentt'elsm, vol untary and involuntary lay-ofl's, it be comes extremely difficult to agret“ with organizcMl labor. This is T'OTAL WAR. Total war meiins that every citizen, man and woman, is or should be a member of (he military or of the home front. It means that an abundance of specific types of goods is the prime requisite for nutking war. Military (Hiuipment is. thereby, e.s.sential to victory, Man power—men and women—is the only means of getting the proper goods for war. Therefore, if the conscription of women heconu'S a necessity f>r getting tbe.se materials to our tighting men, this writer believes that women—col lege women and all—should be draftwl, not as women, ix;r ,se, but as a part of all HUMAN RESOURCES needel to prosecute a 'I'OTAL W^\R to a suc cessful and victorious end. CAROL HKICE 'I'O HE PJtESENTED IN RECITAL (Continued From Page One) was awarded the Naureniberg prize. She recently sang with the Kansas City I’hilharnionic Oi'cbestra which was broadcast by the National Hroadcast- ing company. .Miss Hrice has won wide acclaim as a nationally know'u contral to of both the concert stage and radio. She is a sister of .lonathan Hrice, outstanding iiianist and accomjianist of New York Citv.
