Economic Problems of the
South Discussed
The Student Legislature of
North Carolina met in annual ses
sion November 4, as the f^uest of
State College. Tlie legisJative halls
of the state were turned over to
the “youthful lawmakers” for the:
two-day session. The meeting i
convened on the first day of the
session in the a.s.sembly room of
the Edenton Street Methodist |
Church for the caucuses and the
election of the Assembly officers, j
After this preliminary meeting the ;
assembly moved to the Capitol,
and the regular .session began. I
Three delegates were sent to
represent Atlantic Christian Col
lege in the session. They were
Cyrus Lee, senator; Ray Silver
thorne and Jim Ed Miles, members
of the House. About 125 young
men and women from 19 colleges
were represented in the Assembly.
All the delegates were from the
state, except the Winthrop College
delegates. Because of the splendid
work of Winthrop College in foren-
sics, they were special guests of
State College and the Assembly.
The embryonic legislators, once in
the Capitol, seemed perfectly at
home. They lobbied in the halls,
and read newspapers and moved
about while superfluous speeches
were being made.
The Senate started off by con
sidering an appropriation bill call,
ing for 1100,000 annually to fur
ther agriculture research at State'
CHlegc. The bill wa« ainended to
read $200,000 and was passed. The
delegation from A. C. College pre
sented two bills for the considera
tion of the assembly. One of these
bills was passed. This act was
written by Mr. Miles, and was
designed to abolish the absentee
ballot in the state of North Caro
lina. This bill was considered by
the leaders of the House the mo$t

Marie Wiley, and Lillian
t^yton who were costumed very
effectively.

the first of a series of concerts
paid for by the Student Activity
Fund, was shox^'ii by Mr. Robert
S. Roth in the form of slide pic
tures on Tuesday ni;iht, Novem
ber 8.
Although the weather was
clou(lV', a largfe attendance was
there to hear Mr. Roth tell of his
trip through picturesque Mexico
in a car and trailer. During his
trip he had taken pictures of in
teresting places and things in nat
ural color. These he showed to the
students, explaining each one care
fully.
Mexico City was seen with all
its ancient beauty. Very impres
sive was the Plaza Square which
is surrounded by the great Roman
Catholic Cathedral, the National
.Museum, and the National Palace.
In the interior of the museum
many old relics were shown, such
as the ancient Aztec calendar
carved on stone. This is only one
of the many important collections
of Aztec relics.
Ixfaving this great city, Mr.
Roth showed other interesting
places and things of the country.
All of nature with its many hues
of color was wonderful to behold.
The sunset and the rising of moon
were filled with romance. With
their colorful costumes the senors

Reverend A. J. Hobbs, pastor of
the First Methodist Church of this
city, spoke to the student body,
using as his subject, “My travels
through Europe.” On the twenty-
fifth of October he told of his ob
servation and opinion of the Euro,
pean countries, as he gathered
from his travels, and the progress
they are making. Reverend Hobbs
visited Rome, Naples, Damascus,
and other important cities of reli
gious interest of Europe.
Rome, the chief city and capital
of Italy, was described by Rev
erend Hobbs as having some of
the prettiest and most picturesque
scenes to be found anywhere today.
It contains many Cathedrals of
ancient history and is well known
for Hs religious characteristics.
Reverend Hobbs found the Ital
ian Empire to be somewhat back
ward compared with the United
States, but it is becoming more
modern each year.
“Mussolini has done much for
the Italian Empire and will con
tinue to do for it so long as the
Italian people have faith in him,”
said Reverend Hobbs. The Italians
are strong believers in developing
„ strong physical body. This they
do to protect their country which
they love and cherish. Says Rev
erend Hobbs, "I received much in
spiration from the old cathedrals
and other worship places where
Jesus preached and talked with
hi* people.
Leaving Rome, Reverend Hobbs
went to Naples, another city of
Italy, known for it* many cathe
drals and other Christian charac
teristics it has to show to the mod
ern world. There he found many
Italians selling souvenirs to the
American visitors at high prices.
The natives of Italy picture the
Americans as being very rich peo
ple. Damascus is a very unsani
tary city with narrow streets and
alleys. The natives take a bath

Over five years ago at the Uni
versity of Alabsma, the idea of
giving public recognition to out
standing studenta in each college
and university was first brought
to a reality by publishing the first
‘Who’s Who Among Students in
American Universities and Col
leges.” This idea was created on a
national basis of recognition for
students, devoid of politics, initia
tion fees, and dues. For four years
this book has been published con
taining the biographies of out
standing students in American
Universities and Colleges as well
as every phase of college activity
in the college world. There is in
formation in this book that is not
available in any other book print
ed. This project has received the
enthusiastic endorsement of more
than 400 deans of colleges and uni
versities, and more than 1,0(X) pres
idents of fraternities and honor
ary organizations.
The purpose of Who’s Who is
fourfold:
1. It serves as an incentive for
student* to get most out of their
college careers.
2. It serves as a means of com>
peni^ation to students for what they
have already done.
.3. It serves as a recommendation
to the business world.
4. It serves as a standard of
measurement for students compar.
able to such agencies as Phi Beta
Kappa and the Rhodes Scholarship
Award.
Who’s Who contains not only the
biographies of the outstanding stu
dents in America but also a synop
sis of each University and (Allege
in America, and any unique ways
in which men and women pay or
partly pay their way through col
lege. Furthermore, from the great
amount of data received, statistic*
can be compiled to show the total
of each stateli representation,
religious beliefs, vocations, hob
bies, extra-curricular honors, and
honorary clubs and societies.
To be included in Who** Who, a
student must hare a combination
of qualities to indicate that be i*
outstanding and an asaet to his
school.

miiision is charactar. The second

PUERTO RICO
Manly Morton Speaks
At ('hapel AHsembly
At the chapel assembly on No
vember 8th, C. Manly Morton spoke
to the student body on some cur
rent problems of Puerto Rico,
where he is director of Missionary
work.
Mr. Morton introduced himself as
an old student of this college. He
entered this institution when it
was first opened in 1U02. Though
he knows a very limited number
of the present students, he said
he likes to recall his close acquaint
ance with the parents of some
students while they attended school
here.
In his talk Mr. Mortem showed
the eagerness with which the
Puerto Ricans have accepted Chris
tian Missionaries. A people who
have long lived in obscurity in this
small mountainous island have had
little opportunity to acquaint them
selves with worldly affairs.
When the U. S. first acquired
Puerto Rico, It was a breeding
place of ignorance and disease. To
day Puerto Rico has schools as
fine as any in our country. Con
ditions of health improvement ful
filled, new aims arise. Health im
provement has meant an increaae
in population. Overpopulalon i*
the coming problem.
Educated youth find* it hard to
go back to the mountain country
and live the old way. The youth
realizes the need for raising, and
possesses the desire to raiae, their
standards. ‘'The desire is there j
but the economic opportunity and
means are lacking.”
The lack of Chriatian background i
of Puerto Rican youth makes the j
situation a difficult one. They are
of a ‘'revolutionary nature”, ready
to fight when there is no other ap-'
parent means of aolving pursuing
problems.
‘‘Missionaries are therefore
working with the young people and
are endeavoring to give them some
thing that will help them •oWe
their problem*.
On the morning of November 11,
Dr. Myron T. Hopper spoke
at the college chapel period. I>r
Hoppt*r IS director of Young Peo
pli*M Work of the Disciples of Christ
and is DirtH'tor Kmeral of all
('hristian Young People's Confer
rm't'K. H« took as his subject *‘A
Peep At The Future".
"I do not profess to be a for
lune teller, but 1 can give you i
cluv as to what your future It go
ing to be. I know we will be in
terested in it—all people are. There
i.: only one way in which one may
delerntine his future. That one
way is to take a look at what you
are now snd the good you are mak
ing of your opportunities. What
you will be tomorrow will be deter
mined by what you are today.
The things you are interested in
tom«»rrow will be determined by
what you are int«*rrsted in today.
With these few words ho went into
our mtellectul life of tomorrow.
"We are going to look physically
just as the middle age people of
today look, but intellectually, and
spiritually we will be distinctively
individual. W'hether or not w« are
like the adults of todity depend*
on the way we take advantage of
our opi>onuniiiM«”
He I'imparea us with corn grow
ing. Wr can get up and rhangv
our environment while the com
has to stay where it first took root.
We can leave our present environ
ment and go to a better one. The
kind of environment we place our
selves in will determine what we
are going to be tomorrow, or 16
yrars from now.
Pay little attention to your
abilities, be mentally and physi
cally lazy and you will be intel
lectually lazy 10 years from now.
He cited an example of a 50 year
old lady who had acted all of her
life. She had never read book* or
learned to appreciate good music.
The only thing she could do was
to look baby-eyed. So this actress
had seen her day, and now as she
was growing old, her glory fading
behind her, she had no fine arts
to comfort her. She had just that
act of an adolescent. Her "it” or
”umph” did not last long. When a
person who has depended on this
loses it all, what has he or she
left?
Tomorrow will you be the kind
of person who will be intereste<i
even though you have grown old?

Dr. Hilley has just concluded a
series of talks at ths regular chapel
session on the topic **Toward *
New Design for Education,** The
discussions were baaed on an in
vestigation of Pennsylvania Col
leges and high schools which was
conducted ovrr a period of ten
years by the Carnegie Foundation.
It is commonly known as the Pen/i-
sylvania Survey. Us purpose was
to find out what the students art
getting out of secondary and high,
er education.
l*he reaearchen set themselve*
to the talk of making an Inventory
of the mind of every student, and
comparing all the individuals and
all the institutions by measure
ments uniform enough to permit
comparison. Academic testa would
not satisfy the purpose. It had
to be a test that would eliminate
cramming, a test that would
measure the achievements of the
most divrrse individuals of dif-
fert'nt ages, at different »t«ges of
educational progress, and taking
diff(*rent courses; one that could
be marked with sufficient certainty
and simplicity to permit direct
comparison by accepted statiatical
methods. The testa were designed
to measure the extent of the
knowledge the student iMkd ab
sorbed in an honest way, and
knowledge which had been inte*
grated into the student’s mind and
borons* so much a part of lUg men
