PATRONIZE OUR
ADVERTISERS
It has often been said that getting people to x)art with
money is like pulling hen’s teeth. We have found this only
too true in the advertising business this year. If you need
any proof for this statement just ask any of the business
managers and their assistants for the various student publi
cations. Some merchants have consented to advertise with
us for the coming year, but these are not enough. Many
merchants feel that they are only giving a contribution to
the student publication when solicited for an ad. We do not
want them to feel this way. We want them to know that it
is good, profitable advertising. Therefore, we ask each of
you to read the ads and patronize the firms that they repre
sent. Also do the publication the favor of saying, “I saw your
ad in the Queens Blues, or The Coronet** Believe us, the
merchants will both appreciate and remember it. Then during
the summer months and next fall when they are again ap
proached about an ad, they will be only too glad to use this
form of advertising. Remember that it is up to you to see
that your publications have successful contacts with the
business firms of Charlotte. Help to print better publications
by patronizing our advertisers.
BLUES APOLOGIZES
The Blues staff is extremely sorry that the first issue
of the paper is so late in making its initial appearance. Cer
tain circumstances, too numerous to enumerate here, have
caused this. It is hoped that the Student Body will accept
this apology and continue to support the newspaper as it
has done in the past. It depends entirely upon them what the
newspaper can accomplish on the campus during this school
year.

The Quill is representative of
best of your creative ability ^
written expression. Do you t
it could be better? Why don’t y
see what you can do?
AX7 appreciation for the hospitality of Parents’
^ eek Lnd are still coming to the office of the Dean f
students. Fathers and Mothers say that the tangibk
results of classroom and laboratory activity. In the aft
studio, down in the projection room, in the biology labor^'
tory and “African Violet Hothouse,” visitors came and
stayed. Some of the braver parents also went to class*
n fact, the letters have expressed thanks for all phased
ot the week-end program.
The college community, too, received pleasure
pJannmg and carrying out the events. What measure of
success attended this first Parents’ Week End was th^
result of the co-operation of every student, staff an^
faculty member with the committees. The three mai^
groups with their faculty advisors planned and organize^
all activity. Everyone went about her assignment cheet'
fully and performed her job efficiently.
But, the college community remembers with profoun«l
appreciation the strong cooperation it received from
Alumnae Association. Without its financial help. Queens
could not have had the Saturday Founders Day progran*
and luncheon. The address Dr. Jones gave re-emphasizc®
the importance of Christian education and made a ptO'
found impression, particularly on those parents who ha^
not had the privilege of hearing the college minister
before.
Many students, their parents, and faculty and sta^^
members have expressed the wish to have a similar oC'
casion next year. If the week-end plans can be carried ou^
as successfully next year as they were this fall, and if the
college community displays the same enthusiasm, then
Parents’ Week End will be an assured event of the fal^
of 1951.
