Student Council
Moves Ahead
The Student Council is stiU pro
gressing after getting off to a good
start last fall. Several activities
have been sponsored by the Coun
cil in order to make the students
of the college more comfortable
and better adjusted.
As one of its project of the year
the Council sponsored an Intro
ductory Chapel Program. From
this program, students were ac
quainted with the different organ
izations and their purposes on the
campus.
Toward the end of the fall quar
ter, the Council sponsored a semi-
formal dance in the Lilly Gym
nasium. New students had op
portunity to become better ac
quainted with the college family.
In the United Services Fund and
the drive for funds for television
sets on the campus, the Student
CouncU made its contributions.
This school year the Council
chose to work on the improvement
of the canteen and the Student
Union Room, and securing of a
Student Council office.
During the CIAA Tournament,
the Council, with James Smith in
charge of arrangements, chartered
a bus for students of the college to
attend the game in Durham, N. C.
The Council is by no means al
together satisfied with its achieve
ments, but it realizes that valu
able experiences were obtained in
the efforts put forth.
In the near future the Student
Council plans to revise its consti
tution, beautify the campus, con
duct a chapel program, and have
election of the Student Council Of
ficers for next year.
The Student Council invites the
college family to be present at the

Getting to be a well-liked teach

If we require large assignments
of homework, they say we are
cruel.
If we don’t, they say we are soft
and easy.
If we try to instill aesthetic
values into them, we are called

If we don’t we do not know how
to teach.
If we drill in grammar, “bor

If we don’t we do not teach it
thoroughly enough.
If we let our hair down in the
classroom, we are not acting like
a teacher should.
If we don’t, we are hard, dry,
and almost inhuman.
When we look up a word in the
dictionary, we should not—for—
we should know all the words, and
every meaning also.
