NEW PiANO FOR
SPEECH BUILDING
Ihrouga tiie efforts of Ann Cloninger, a
student in Radio 'I.V., the Speech-Drama

was this week recorded in the Speech Build

ihe piano from Dunham’s proved to re

girl singing in the bath tub.

If a kiss speaks volumes, it is seldom a
first edition.

■ The great hazards on the highw’ays are
those under 21 driving over 65 and those
over 65 driving under 21.

One reason why girls of today are such
live wires is that they wear so little insula
tion.
The paper wishes to extend heartiest
greetings to all of the folks who are adver
tising in our Asheville-Biltmore paper.
Without advertisers, the paper would not
exist.
We of the staff are sure that every student
at the college will patronize the advertisers,
and in this way express appreciation for the
entire school.
From The
President's Desk
Members of the faculty and the board of
directors of Asheville-Biltmore College are
giving serious consideration to the matter of
establishing dormitories on our campus. For
a number of years students have shown a
high degree of interest in this project. The
primary responsibility of our community
college is to the citizens of this area. How
ever, we feel that the establishment of dor
mitories will increase rather than decrease
our ability to serve local students. The
broadening influence of association with
people from other sections of the state, from
other states, and from foreign countries
would accrue to our local youth if we had
boarding students on our campus. We would
also have better facilities for providing
meals, more adequate provisions for extra
curricular activities, an enriched campus life,
improved school spirit, and an increased en
rollment which would permit stronger stu
dent organization.
Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and glorify
your Father who is in heaven.
—^Matthew 5:16
"We should consider the histories of
Christ three manner of ways; first, as a his
tory of acts or legends; secondly, as a gift or
present; thirdly, as an example, which we
should believe and follow.”
—Martin Luther

The College

the College Showcase radio show.
"Welcome to another edition of the Col
lege Showcase, transcribed and recorded on
the campus of Asheville-Biltmore College,”
Chuck says, and another program has begun.

mits, and Dean Haney step up to the micro

the College Showcase is vastly increasing its
popularity over the Western North Caro
lina area.
' Wayne Harris, the program director of
WWIT says, "I sincerely believe that the
College Showcase is one of the finer pro
grams heard on any station in the Ashe-

those stations with network affiliations. As
As far as I am concerned, it rates with any
network show.”
