WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., MAY 8, 1926.
N. C. Collegiate Press Association
Meeting At Guilford College
Penalty Of Freedom Was The Subject Of The
Address By President Moore Of State
College; Officers Elected.
The eleventh semi
meeting of the North Carohna
Collegiate Press Association
held at Guilford College, North
Carolina, on April 29, 30, and
May 1, 1926. The conference
was under the direction of “The
Guilfordian,” and the fifty-
three delegates were guests of
Guilford College.
The first meeting was held
the Zatasian Society Hall
Thursday evening at seven-
thirty o’clock. After' the dele
gates were called to order by E.
G. Moore, the president of the
Association, Mi-. William K.
Hoyt, of the Winston-Salem
Journal gave the address of the
evening. His topic was “The
Newspaper as a Business Enter
prise.” Mr. Hoyt said that there
are several conceptions of news
papers; namely; as a disem-
minator of news, a moulder of
public opinion, a bringer of edu
cation and information to the
masses, an adjunct of a party
or of a sect, an entertainer, and
a means of giving self-expres
sion to a community,
said Mr. Hoyt, “if you cannot
sell the paper it is no good,
must be a financial success if it
is to accomplish its purposes.’
The speaker gave four reasons
for the success of a newspaper.
They are individuality, initiative,
knowledge, and organization.
Mr. Hoyt was emphatic
statement that a newspaper
must have convictions and stand
up for its convictions; that it
must serve the majority, but at
the same time champion the
rights of the minority. After
giving a brief history of the
North Carolina Press, and show
ing how it has lead the crusade
for public welfare, Mr. Hoyt
closed with the challenging ad
vice: “If you are not willing to
be a crusader, stay out of
paper work.”
After the address an informal
reception was held on the porch
of Founders Hall. Tickets to
the National Theatre were then
distributed and the delegates
motored to Greensboro, where
they went to the theatre.

New Furniture For
The Annual Office
The “Sights and Insights’
office has been the purchaser of
many new articles in the form of
furniti’re. Since the separation
of the two publications, the
stafi" has felt more at liberty to
purchase new furnishings, and
the office now resembles a real
business one. A new filing desk,
a rug, a closet for cuts, and some
drawing tAles have been added
to the establishment.
College, responded on behalf of
the members. E. G. Moore then
addressed the convention on
“The Penalty of Freedom” He
emphasized the fact that there
are certain obligations which ac
company any kind of freedom;
and that the penalty of editorial
freedom is the use of sound
judgment. Mr. Moore briefly
considred some of the problems
of college life—problems which
the newspapers may have some
part in settling. These prob
lems are government, athletics,
gigantism, and teaching. The
speaker impressed on the dele
gates the importance of editors
of college papers in forming
pubhc opinion concerning these
problems, as well as the im
portance of tempering their
editorials by a good measure of
sound judgment.
The address was followed by
a general busimss session, at
which time commit!,ee.’s were ap
pointed and reports of publica
tions were heard.
The feature of the afternoon
was the division of the news

delegates gained much practical
knowledge. The remainder of

The hymn “Stand up for
Jesus” was used as the proces

She expressed her appreciation
and that of the retiring Cabinet,
for the loyal support of both
faculty and students, which has

The One-Act Play Dis
cussed At Pierrette Meeting
Hattie by DePue Kead by Susan
Jjuckenbach.
The technique of the one-act
play was the subject of a very
interesting talk by Isabel Wen-
hold at the meeting of the
'‘Pierrette Players” on Thursday
evening. May 6. Miss Wenhold
handled her subject well, and
gave in a brief and concise form
of the most important
items concerned with the writ
ing of the one-act play. “The
one-act play is to the long play
what the short story is to the
novel” stated the speaker. Like
the short story, it must have
unity of time, place and action,
and above all, unity of effect. It
must be more or less episodical
—that is, it must center around
single event or episode, and
there must be little or no digres-
There must be one and
only one climax, and this must
ime near the end of the play.
Miss Wenhold also stated that
was very difficult to write a
well constructed one-act play be
cause of its many limitations,
and because the writer must, by
all means concentrate all his at
tention on the crucial point of
the episode. In this way the
short play ‘
disease is a separate problem
and that methods used for one
disease might not be successful
for another. Effective inocula
tions have been worked out.
There are two kinds of im
munity : the active and the pas
sive. Active immunity is when
the body manufactures its own
anti-toxin while passive is when
the anti-toxin is injected into
the body’s blood stream.
Vaccine is a substance which
produces immuniation. There is
a series of vaccines made with
out the use of animals. The
typhoid vaccine is the most suc
cessful of this kind. The pre
ss of manufacturing vaccines
fairly simple. The diptheria
bacteria are grown in broth on
the surface of which they form
a scum. The broth is standard
ized and a portion is injected in
a horse. This process is kept up
until a large amount of antidote
is formed in the horse. The
antidote is then sterilized and is
ready for use.'fl|. works instant
ly and if given in the early
stages of the disease the patient
will recover.
There are a number of vac
cines used in the diseases of do
mestic animals. There are
many diseases however for
which no immunity has been
discovered. If the means of pro
ducing immunity is found for
some of the diseases, such as
tuberculosis and colds, it will be
the result of long-continued
work and much experimentation.
In the state laboratory many
vaccines and anti-toxins are
being made. Since 1913 the
typhoid vaccine has been given
to all who desire it. Each year
the laboratory sends out gallons
of vaccines all over the state.
the News”, in which there are
several characters. The dialogue
cannot be too natural, for if it
it will sound artificial. The
guage used in ordinary con
versation is very artificial ac
cording to Miss Wenhold, and
this written in a play will de
tract from the interest. Above
the writer must draw his
material from his own ex
perience. He cannot write of
things and people about which
he knows nothing, or concerning
•hom he has only a reading
knowledge. This last provision
