It has come to the attention of this paper that there is assistance needed by clubs which wish to send delegates to conventions of which these clubs are members. Every year money is spent to send our athletic teams on road trips which not only help publicize the college but also give certain students the chance to participate in activities in which they are interested. It isn’t the purpose of this editorial to propose a cut in the athletic fund or "to show any discrimination against sports activities of the college. It is, however, intended to awaken the administration to the fact that if a small sum was set aside in the college budget each year to help clubs and oi^- ganizations defray expenses on convention trips_ this would also give students who perhaps do not take part in sports to take part in something -s?hich is of interest to them, and at the same time this too would publicize the college. It may be argued that this is out of the question; but if it will be remembered that very few clubs and very, few students attend meetings and conventions, it will be seen that the cost of paying at least .half of their expenses on these trips is certainly within reason. Also, it stands -to reason that, many students fail to go on trips of this nature because the cost is too great for them to bear alone. We think it would be beneficial to both the college and students if such help was extended. What’s Mine Is Yours There are three philosophies of living after which we as students on this campus can pattern our lives. They apply not only to school life, but to every phase of living. The first of these views is the one which says, “What’s mine is mine; I’ll keep it.” We should remember the words of the Golden Rule, which tell us that we should do to others as we would have them do to us. How different it would seem if the words were reverged to say, “Do unto others as you are done unto.” If we expect to be shared with, then we must share our own talents and little extras in life. Ajre youi ontQ of this group ? The second philosophy is: “What’s yours is mine; I’ll take it.” How many of us have this aggressive attitude? Yet we don’t really mean’to be selfish. Nevertheless, this group of people survive, and we must face that fact. Are you one of this group? , 'The third view, and the one which not many of us have, is this: “What's mifie is yours; you can have it.” Those who are willing to share with their less fortunate brothers and sis ters in the war-torn countries ef the world are the ones who live according to this philosophy. Are you one of this group? Durmg our drive on the Brevard Campus for WSSF, which pattern’ for living are you going to abide by? The least we do will be greatly appreciated by those on the receiv ing end of the bargain. When young boys and girls have the initiative to learn and to study for the betterment'of human life, it is up to us—as backers of WSSF—to give them the opportunity to apply their willingness and ability. “TTiis is your drive; back it up!” COUPLE OF THE MONTH { Love is what makes the world go around, and little Cupid really has this old earth in a spin. Caught in the whirl of, the outer extremi ties this month we have Dana Har ris and Jane Faucette. It’s a little warm, but from the appearance of things it surely looks like snow. Dana is a post-graduate student this semester and he hails from Shelby. Jane is a sophomore and comes to us from Brown Summit. Dana’s activities consist of being a member of the Veterans club, Delphian Literary society, Bob Da vis’ orchestra, and the college con cert band. Jane is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa, and the Euterpean Literary society. She is also a member of the library staff. The couple discovered each other in the chow line. Just by coinci dence they happened to be going through together. After a couple of nothings were exchanged, Dana asked Jane if she would ga with him to the Talent show. Her reply was “Yes,” and that was their first date. The following week, they at tended the religious emphasis ser vices together every night, and since then they have been a steady couple. At the Delphian’s Valen tine dance, they were elected King and Queen of Hearts. A more promising couple is yet to be found on the campus. NEXT WEEK .. . The merchants up town are going to reward the couple for their outstanding work in the field of love. To restore the energy the couple exhorted walk ing up the hill, Varner’s is going to. welcome them .with a pair of banana ^lits. Austin’s studio has the two under contract to make - a motionless picture. The smile which they exhibit there will last forever. Getting back on the: sub ject of food, a special dinner Will be awaiting the lovers at' Gallo way’s cafe. The host, Pete Bikas, recently'' received an award for ex cellence in foodology at the daily chowhounds convention. Sarrat’s cleaners will clean and press a suit for each of the couple. At Patterson’s the boy will receive }iis choice of a handsome collar scarf and the girls wiU be present ed with a pair of nlyon hose that fit the leg like the skin itself. Hose! Now I know why the foreman was «o happy when he met his death by falling into a vat of hot nylon. The boys down at the Smith, and Gray hair emporium are going to treat the male to a haircut and shoeshine. Our colored friend there says that when he finishes with his shoes, he can look in thein and ^e whether or not he needs a shave. The Self-Service laundry is going to treat the couple to a wajsh job. While their clothes are wash ing they may sit'back in the com fortable chairs and — on second thought, it’s usually crowded in there. The Co.-Ed theatre has a couple of seats to spare them at the -showing of one of^ their ex cellent films. Popcorn and cokes will be furnished by Ford’s Com* er, and with the lights low, the music soft, the movie romantic, and the refreshments pleasingj we leave the couple and begin looking for another. What;s Your ! Opinion? By FRANCES SLOOP What do you think of the con ditions in the cafeteria? * -Joe Adams: “I think there’s been t marked improvement in the clean- Imess of the floor. I’m still hoping there- will be the same improve ment in the food.” Lois'e Stratton: “It’s improved a little. The food is more attractively served now.” Nancy Suttles: “I think it’s im proved and it seems that some of the prices are down.” A1 Cheatham: “It hasn’t improv ed. I’ve been getting cups with lip stick on them.” Jewel Burdell: “It seems to be better to some extent. I think if We all cooperate with the cafeteria staff, we can continue to improve it.” Frank Roberts: “I think there’s been a little change for the bet ter but hope there will be more!” Betty Boykin: “I think it’s been better but there is still a lot of room for improvement.” ^ Harris Johnson: “I think it’s im proved a lot. Since it has improved, I think we all ought to cooperate with the dietitian.” Betty Lee Reno: “I think it’s im proved.” Jim Mac Hollowell; “The food generally is better, prices still too high, variety is nil ” Charles Barkley: “1 think it’s im proved a great deal, though some days it is disappointing.” Harry Woosley: “Give credit where credit is due. All complaints and compliments make the chow hall a dull plape. Things were “Show Boat” —FROM PAGE ONE— Dellinger, and Mary M. Graybeal. After the first act, a specialty number was played by Bobby Davis on his saxophone, assisted by Way- burn Houck, Archie IVIiller, and Hugh' Griffith. The production was divided into three acts, with the last two being subdivided into two scenes each. The first act took plaice on the Show Boat, “Cotton Blossom.” The first scene of act two was in the apartment of Mdgnolia and Revenal five years later in Chicago. The second part of this act was in a honky tonk in Chicago. Act three was again on the original setting ot the “Cotton Blossom,’ ’and the second scene was five years later when the former company were to gether again. Proceeds from the performance, which amounted to the sum of $57, were donated to WSSF. The Brevard Masquers put on their first production of the year last Thursday night, March 3, for the benefit of WSSF.- The play was called “Cornin’ ‘Round the Moun tain,” and the money taken in amounted to approximately $30.

In due time, I think there will be still more improvement Through student unity things can be done.”
