C. > Ilough Is Popular Campus Speaker On Thursday, November 15, the ! campus was honored to have Joseph Hough as guest speaker in I chapel and in the International Relations Club. Mr. Hough is a graduate of Star | High School in Star, North Car olina, and of Wake Forest College, and is at present studying at South eastern Seminary. i bast summer Mr. Hough was a ! Rotary Scholar studying in Edin j burgh, Scotland. For his chapel talk he related some of his personal experiences while he was in I Europe. He was primarily inter | ested in the people of the countries although he said also that he saw some magnificent sights. He saw in even country the friendly spirit of the people and ! believes that it more people could i have the opportunity he had, world understanding would be farther on its way. At the International Relations Club meeting, he continued with more of his personal experiences, stressing the fact that problems and crises that exist in the U. S. which j are considered by many people as tincnt governmental topics and to accord tc> these undergraduates the actual situations that they will en counter in the Future. Tlu* Legislature was separated into two bodies, the Senate and the House ol bepresentatives. Repre senting Cuillord College in the Senate chamber were senators Joyce Uaunaum, Warren Mitoisky. and Carolyn Xewlin. Delegates to the House were representatives Al \ in Jaflee, Carolyn Pipkin, Claud ette Belton, and Robert S. Stanger. Two Cuillord delegates were elect ed to offices: Jovce Hannaum as reading clerk in the Senate and \lvin Jaffcc in the capacity of recording secretary in the House. Cuilford College had two note worth v bills mi the agenda. The first, called lor the reapportioning ol the voting districts in the state ol North Carolina. This piece of legislation was passed bv acclama tion by tlu- entire governing body. The second bill presented by the Quaker delegation was to aid the economic status of the public school teacher bv eliminating the three per cent sales tax on all their purchases. This bill was passed with onl\ two dissenting votes in the Senate but was tailed bv a large majority in the House. One ol the most controversial bills that appeared was presented by the University of North Caro lina. They proposed to. abolish the Pearsall Plan. It is interesting to note that this plan was favored by seventy-five per cent of the voting population ol this state; yet, this collegiate congress voted, bv a large majority to repeal this law. Other ebulient bills presented included one from North Carolina State. They delivered a bill that, il initiated, would unite all the "dry' counties with the "wet" coun ties into a uniform state, that would be governed by a uniform law . that would set up an Alcoholic beverage Control board in every county. Coventor Hodges gave a short addi 'ess to the bocK on Fridav afternoon and expressed his delight at seeing so many students who wore interested in their country's future—interested enough to gain experience now so as to be of aid in later life. purely local are by no means such, for the world is watching and is interested in how the U. S. will meet its problems. If we are to continue as a leader among nations wo must exercise wise judgments. Mr. Hough was very well re ceived by the student body as was demonstrated In their applause in chapel and by their comments afterwards. NUMBER 5
