Students' Choice
Ah yes, we now enter the throes
of another election year. What’s
cooking? A savory dish called
Americanism. Do you want to
know the recipe? Here ’tis. Place
a tablespoon of conservatism, a
touch of radicalism, a teaspoon of
reactionism, and a cup of liberal
ism in a large pot. Cap the lid
on tightly, let boil for several
months, and serve on election
day.
For the past three weeks there
has been a bit of chaos in the
Democrat party. President Tru
man is really burning up the re
actionary Democrats from the
South with his equality issue
which has to be hashed out some
time. “There is no time like the
present,” says Pete Grant. In
cidentally, Pete is running for
president in ’69. He has opened
his campaign headquarters in the
bar of the Asheville Country
Club. His platform is the top of
the bar, and his issue is shorter
skirts. Dewee Lovelace, a fresh
man, agrees with Pete on the
shorter skirts" issue.
There is another name steadily
gaining in the Presidential race.
I believe the name is Wallace. H.
Wallace, in fact. No. It isn't
Herb. Please, let’s don’t associate
Herb with Henry, because it is
bad enough being called a radi
cal. Anyway, Herb is contem
plating spelling his name differ
ently, W-a-l-a-c-e- instead of
W-a-l-l-a-c-e.
Ho ho ho ho ho, you guessed
it. Yes, it is Rod Miller laughing
at the inspector. Rod is a strong
“Tory” Republican from the
North. He is so confident of a
Republican ictory that he visits
the post office, frequently saying,
“I wish they would keep my post
ofice clean.” He is after the post
master’s job. How about a job
next Christmas, Rod? If you see
Rod running around with a copy
of “Life”, you can bet your bot
tom dollar that he is looking for
someone to argue with. He is
hard to get along with since the
Republicans won the poll that
was taken last week.
Tom Robertson is conducting a
campaign for cheaper butter.
Where is the anvil, Tom? Con
dolences, Tom. As everyone
knows, Tom invested a fortune in
silk. The recent market break
wiped out Tom’s fortune. Silk
fell, and Tom was left holding the
bag.
The Biltmore College students
have spoken. The recent poll to
determine the students choice for
president in ’48 was quite a suc
cess. Ask Rod Miller. The Re
publicans took the lead from the
beginning. There were five candi
dates on the ballot and of course,
the privilege of writing in the

Psychology
Project
The Psychology classroom will
be a very busy place, according
to the instructor Mr. A. M. Moser.
Requirements for conducting an
accredited course in Psychology
have changed, and laboratory
work must be emphasized if the
class is to be accredited.
Mr. Moser says that in ac
cordance with this, he intends to
give much time to illustrating the
uses of psychology in daily liv
ing and its importance in deter
mining success or failure. To do
this, he plans to ask students to
act as subjects for informal in
terviews. He also wants to ask
residents of Asheville who exem
plify the various types to visit
the classes to be interviewed.
Any student who innocently
wanders too close to the class
room had better watch out, or
they are liable to be corralled
for an interview.
