In this, our third article of in

High School. He was the presi
dent of his senior class.

After graduation from high

years as an electrician before go
ing to college. He then attended
Carnegie Tech where he received
his B. S. degree as an electrical
engineer.
JUST AFTER finishing college
in 1917, he went into the Navy as
an Electrician First Class in
World War I.
After his career in the Navy,
Mr. Morley went to Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology
for post graduate work in elec
trical engineering and engineer
ing administration.
He th?n worked for Stone &
Webster as assistant electrical
engineer. Frorn there he went to

Lack Of Ads
Is Evident
In The Crier
The advertising staff has
been having difficulties in get
ting ads from the merchants
of Asheville. Not being busi
ness men, we, nevertheless,
think that these trades peo
ple are missing a good bet in
advertising on the Campus
Crier, and here’s why:
The Campus Crier is distrib
uted to the entire student
body, as well as several hun
dred alumni and friends of the
school. Unlike other colleges
in this vicinity, virtually all
the local stores are patronized
by the students of A. B. C. who
are residents of Asheville.
Merchants who ignore their
opportunity to advertise in the
Crier are forfeiting many op
portunities to reach the custo
mers and prospective custo
mers among our subscribers.
The merchants of this city
have often demonstrated their
good-will toward Asheville-
Biltmore College, and we are
sure they realize the good bus
iness of advertising in the
Crier. We are certain we will
have another demonstration of
their cooperativeness.
“I would like to see all students
at Asheville-Biltmore make A’s
or at least try to make A’s.” He
also said that, “the counties in
and around Asheville need a good
four year college where educa
tion could be obtained at a rea
sonable price.”
“Very wholesome,” is the way
Mr. Morley described the school
spirit of the students. He said,
“We have a mixture of students
at A-B and I think the older stu
dents should set the right ex
ample for these younger stu
dents.”
Mr. Morley has been talking to
various of his classes and leaving
with them the thought that their
conduct should be such that in
later years they will have no re
grets.
Here And There
On The Campus
Now is a good opportunity for
students to show their school
spirit by donating books and
magazines to the library. A good
many books have been donated
by outsiders who are interested
in the school’s welfare. The list
of donors includes: Mr. George
btephens, Mrs. Helen Moore, Mr.
K. A. Tomberlin, and Mrs. Anne
Tynaale Lee.
Money has been contributed to
the library by the following: Miss
Katnryn Kendall, the Jaycettes,
Mr. Owen F. Cobb, Mr. Moritz of
me American Enka Corporation,
and Mr. Strauss of the Ecusta
Paper Corporation.
The A-b student body contrib
uted $25 to the Needlework Guild,
This IS a slightly larger sum than
was donated last year.
Our Christmas holidays will
last from Dec. 19, to Jan. 5; rath
er than Jan. 4, as was announced
by mistake in the last issue of
the Campus Crier.
Everyone has been more
prompt in returning boks to the
library since Miss Williams raised
the fee to 5c per day for books
overdue.
Our good friend Bart is com
ing up in the world. He was un
animously elected to the office of
club critic—“El Critica”-;—at the
last meeting of “Los Sabios,” the
Spanish club.
A bunch of kids from the Dra
matics department presented a
play at the Dramatics Institute at
Lee Edwards on Nov. 25. They
really deserve a big hand for their
fine showmanship.
Britain is producing over 60,-
000 baby carriages a month and
needs more.

Of, For And
By The Vets
By Nickie Bonarrigo
Graduate students and ad
vanced scholars may receive edu
cational grants under the Full-
bright Act even though they may
qualify for benefits under the
G.I. Bill. While the Fullbright
Act is not yet in operation as far
as students are concerned an
agreement with China has al
ready been reached and at least
twenty other countries are ex
pected to enter the foreign study
program outlined under the act.
Veterans of World War I and II
are to be given preference in the
selection of American students
to receive educational grants und
er the Fullbright Act.
The American Legion’s second
annual national airpower con
ference, Feb. 5 to 7, 1948, will be
a two-city event, opening at Day
ton, Ohio, and closing in India
napolis, Indiana.
IN AN EFFORT to speed up
subsistence checks for college
GIs, a representative of the V. A.
will visit each school in which
veterans are enrolled, sometime
during the second week of each
month. In each case where subsis
tence payments are overdue the
representative will record the
necessary identifying information
and relay it immediately to the
nearest regional office where the
highest priority will be given the
claim until the student receives
his check.
THE ARMY TIMES “At Your
Service department has an
nounced that veterans who are
behind on income-tax are not in
any danger of having their bene
fits attached to make up the defi
cit. Under an old law (38 U. S.
Code, Sec. 454a) the V. A. may
make deductions in matters under
its jurisdiction, but the law does
not permit other government
agencies to attach benefits pro
vided by the V. A.
