C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1947 Number 4 President Patten Attends Boston Conference President Patten was one of the many junior college representatives at two recent meetings in Boston, that of the American Association of Colleges and of the National As sociation of Schools and Colleges of the Methodist Church. The two meetings emphasized different ideas and problems, but united in the common effort of advancing edu cation. Junior College Judged Essential The representatives from the col leges and universities met in a cen tral meeting to discuss problems common to them all, the main prob lem being that of general education —that education acquired in the two years of junior college work. This was decided to be an import ant feature of any educational pro gram and deemed to be urgently needed by all. Most representatives favored the plan of a central fund set up by the government to ad vance these two years of college work, if the fund was not con trolled directly by the national gov ernment. None of the colleges were in favor of surrendering their ad ministrative rights in exchange for financial aid.

EDDY DELIVERS ADDRESS “How are you responding to the call of Christ in the world today?” The Rev. J. G. Phillips questioned in the course of the message he gave as guest speaker at the Meth odist Student Fellowship dinner in the college dining hall, Jan. 12. Speaking on “The Right Response,” he compared responses today with the words of Peter when the Christ asked, “Whom say ye that I am?” Peter gave the right response when he answered, “Thou art the Christ.” Mr. Phillips warned against this generation’s becoming “spiritual hogs—grunting for money.” He pleaded for a Christian adjustment for our modern world. After the dinner the worship service began with a scripture read ing by Betty Heeny, chairman of the worship committee. The Rev. Mr. Phillips led in prayer and a poem, “Continuing Christ,” was read by Betty Thigpen. Dean Rain water introduced the speaker. Mr. Phillips is the Youth Di rector in the North Carolina Meth odist Conference. He is well known (Continueci on Page 4) WOULDN’T IT BE NICE TO HAVE—? -An elevator from the ground floor of Main to the fourth floor . . . -Telephones on every hall with a complete list of phone numbers . . . -No more first-period classes and no Saturday classes . . . -Breakfast until ten in the morning — better still, breakfast in bed ... -A date any time desired . . . -A soda fountain that was open all day . . .

That never has there been a time before in the history of the world when the need was so great as now for putting words into action was the opinion voiced by C. Sylvester Green, editor of the Durham Morn ing Herald, in his address at the Beta Phi Gamma chapel-hour tap ping, Jan. 28. “We do not under stand each other as nations,” he declared. As guest speaker on the occasion he set forth major guiding princi ples of the newspaper; independ ence, sincerity, truthfulness, impar tiality, accuracy, fair play, decency. He mentioned the newspaper field as a highly competitive one and counseled aspiring journalists to consider the field only if they could not stay out of it, adding that only proofreaders were in demand. He described newspaper work as both a business and a profession, point ing up the unselfish ends that should dominate its purpose and the general welfare that should be recognized as its just aim. The speaker was introduced by Miss Merritt, sponsor of Beta Phi Gamma. Previous to the speech Beta Phi Gamma tapped candidates for mem bership. The program opened with the hymn “Lead On, 0 King Eternal” and a devotional led by Fred Davis, who read Psalm 68:11 and Isaiah 52:7 and offered prayer. Richard Byrd spoke, mentioning ideals and purposes of journalism and like qualities of Beta Phi Gamma. Upon being tapped by members, the following candidates were led to the stage and presented to the (Continued on Page 3) Dr. Sherwood Eddy was guest speaker in the college auditorium at 7:00 p.m., Jan. 28. Dr. Eddy, noted authority on social, economic, and religious problems and a work er in the Y.W.C.A. in many parts of the world, spoke on Russia and “One World.” He stated that, if another war came, it would be be tween Russia and the United States, as these are the two strongest powers today. He believes that the world peace might be maintained by the United States’ trying to understand Russia. Russia, as any other nation, has her strong, as well as her weak points: for example, there is no racial prejudices in Russia. The yellow, brown, white, and black share alike. They have equal rights and equal pay. Although Russia does not profess to be a religious nation, there are no lynchings in Russia. Dr. Eddy stated that he had no hope that the United States will go so far in 50 years in ban ishing racial prejudices as Russia has already gone. In contrast with Russia’s recent record of no unemployment, the speaker cited the unemployment he expected in the depression sure to come in the United States. In ac cord with the pattern in Russia, she has no unemployment. The free eiiLeipiise of which America Doasts will collapse in the coming depres sion—a depression that is surely coming, for that is the pattern of Capitalism: years of boom and years of depression. When we break the laws of economics, we always have depressions. (Continued on Page 3) Hev. It. \V.

These four students are Guido Muniz Rabiza, Ruben Martinez, Miguel Angelo Romero, and Orlando Fransi. These four students were inter viewed and asked to express their opinions about Louisburg College and to suggest some of their obser vations comparing America and Cuba. Guido, known as Guy by his friends, had this to say: “I like Louisburg College very much, espe cially the friendly attiude of the students. Next year I would like to go to school in Florida if possi ble, so that I could go home more often. I am taking mostly English courses in Louisburg. As for sports, I like swimming, basketball, and gymnastics.” Ruben Martinz was asked to com pare Cuban life with American life: “American life is practically the same as Cuban life except for the difference of language. Cubans have the same social activities as Americans: such as, movies, dances, and parties; and the sports of Cuba are the same as those of the United States. One thing I dis like about the United States is the cold weather. You call this the South; yet it gets very cold. As for weather, I like the weather of Cuba.” Miguel Angelo Romero, usually called Romero, stated his opinion: “I am enjoying going to Louisburg College. All of the students treat me nicely and are very friendly. I am following a course in engineer ing here at Louisburg, and I like it very much. As for my favorite sports, they are basketball, foot ball, and swimming.” Last to be interviewed was Or lando Fransi. His opinions were thus expressed: “Everyone here at Louisburg College is nice to me, and I like all of the students. I like the way the school is run. I am taking a complete commercial course, and I like all of it . As for the new dining hall system, I like. I can eat when I please and leave when I finish eating. My favorite sport is tennis, which I enjoy play ing very much; I also like basket ball. The piano also offers me rec reation.” Bradshaw to Bring Messag-es Robert W. Bradshaw, pastor of Jarvis Memorial Methodist Church in Greenville, will deliver the mes sages of the series for the annual Religious Emphasis Week on Louis burg College campus, February 10- 14. Two messages daily—one each morning at the chapel hour and one each evening at seven are sched uled. The subjects as announced are as follows: Monday, Feb. 10, 7:00 P-m-—“Into the Sanctuary of God”; Tuesday, Feb. 11, 9:45 a.m.—“A Little Religion is a Dangerous Thing,” 7:00 p.m.—“Nice People or New Men?”; Wednesday, Feb. 12, 9:45 a.m.—“Genuine? In Good Faith?”, 7:00 p.m.—“Baal or God?”; Thursday, Feb. 13, 9:45 a.m.—“According to Your Faith,” 7:00 p.m.—“To be Christian—Hard or Easy?”; Friday, Feb. 14, 9:45 a.m.—“It Works,” 7:00 p.m.—“The Divine Souvenir.” The Rev. Mr. Bradshaw, accord ing to opinions expressed, has the experience to help him further the religious spirit of the student body, since, aside from his formal ad dresses, he contributes in personal contacts. Religious Organizations Sponsor Effort Each year Religious Week is sponsored by the campus religious organizations, being this year the Student Christian Asso ciation and the Methodist Student Fellowship, led by Frances Davis and O. C. Melton respectively. Mem bers of these two groups are to as sist the minister in the evening services. Plans for the week are under the general direction of Dean Rainwater, campus director of re ligious activities. Bradshaw Experienced In Youth Work The Reverend Mr. Bradshaw, a Duke graduate, is Youth Director for the Methodist Church in this district and for several years man aged the Young People’s Assemblies at Louisburg College. His profound interest concerning their problems during that time won for him the admiration of countless young peo ple who learned to call him “Uncle Bob.” Before joining in 1931 the North Carolina Conference, of which he was executive secretary for eight years, the Rev. Mr. Bradshaw was an instructor in the Children’s Home in Winston-Salem. Along with his present duties as a Meth odist pastor in Greenville, he is a trustee of Louisburg College. Let s Have For Religious Emphasis Week more quiet in our dormitories and a more reverent attitude during the chapel hours. an effort on the part of each of us to attend as many serv ices as possible. a ready and willing acceptance of any task that we are asked to perform. —a conscientious motive, that would create in us a mood con ducive to those things spir itual. a deepened spiritual life sur viving far past this Religious Emphasis Week.
