Pribble^ and Prabble^
By Mickey Bowen
Society Night this year is
being presented as part of the
May Day celebration, and we
think it’s a very good arrange
ment to have such a variety of
entertainment as is being
planned. However, the fact that
the Meredith preliminary was
not held before March 15 kept
the winner from attending the
State-wide Drama Festival at
Chapel Hill which has always
added a bit of excitement to the
society competition.
But, at least, we have great
plans for next year. The new
auditorium promises to be quite
a boon to the Meredith Little
Theater. The space back-stage
is much larger than in the old
auditorium, and the speech
classes will have access to the
recording office. There will be
a scenery work-shop, costume
and make-up rooms, and storage
space. Also, the availability of
two buildings will make more
rehearsals possible on the pro
duction stage.
In reference to last month’s
Letter-to-the-Editor, we think
the reason for the situation re
ferred to is the apathetic atti
tude of the student body. The
feeling of “This is our Little
Theater” seems to have passed
away, and the small enrollment
in the basic speech and play pro
duction courses shows that the
average schedule has no room
for such “extras.” Naturally,
nothing can be done about a
department until the demand
exists.
Colton English Club
Sponsors Book Drive
The Colton English Club is
sponsoring a drive to help im
prove the library at the North
Carolina Colored Orphanage. At
the present time the library has
about one hundred dollars worth
of books and needs many more.
The orphanage was founded
in 1883 as a home for destitute
and homeless Negro children. It
is supported by various lodges
and churches throughout the
state and is non-fraternal and
non - denominational. The
orphanage now has one-hundred-
and-thirty-eight children whose
ages range from two to eighteen
and is under the direction of
Thomas A. Hamme. The institu
tion is very proud of the fact
that there are three students
from the orphanage in college
at the present time.
The large number of children
and their lack of books makes
the need very obvious. The
English Club makes this plea;
“When the representative comes
to you, remember these children
who have so little and help them
as you can.”
ALL THEY ASKED WAS
AN EVEN BREAK
Building a new country was no easy job. But
there were men and women willing to turn their
backs on the safe way of life and their faces toward
new frontiers. All they asked was an even break.
Free enterprise is another way of saying "an
even break." Free enterprise is the basic American
principle of vision and personal initiative. Just
give an American an even break — a chance to
get ahead — and he'll go on from there.
But when government goes into business, in com
petition with its citizens, the American ideal of an
even break is destroyed — for government in busi
ness assumes special privileges that are denied
people in business.
Take the case of government-owned power sys
tems, for example. They pay few, if any, taxes;
often get money from the U. S. Treasury at little
or no interest; make up losses out of the pockets
of the taxpayers.
On the other hand, America's business-managed
power companies are on their own. They pay their
full share of taxes, and fair interest on loans.
There are still new frontiers in electric living to
be opened. And businessmen can do the job bet
ter than bureaucrats.
