I di*lik« very much indeed lo be writing on
*uch ■ >ub|e<t M mennert. but I feel ii though
I tm forced to take tome ttand concerning the
matter
There are many dittereni wayt by which a
p«r*on can thow that he or the it well trained.
One wi* >4 eourlety, another it friendinett, an
other n the contideration of othv*. and there
are numb«rt ol^ othert, but the foremott in my
mind IS dining hall manner*. Thii not only in
clude* the way that a perton eatt. but alto the
wiy that he aclt. There it an old ttatement
that. "The way you act maket to much noite
that what you lay can not be heard '* Thit
•tatomenl it very tiue and if it were to be ap
plied individually there would b« many of ut
who would not make much noite talking.
To be more tpecific. what I am driving at it
the order, or maybe I thould tay ditorder that
wat to noticeable at our latl formal dinner a
few weekt ago. I do not believe that any one
would tay that it it not permitaible to continue
eating through the pretentation of the pro
gram. but I do tay that a lot of noite, particu
larly loud talking »a not only unmannerly but it
It also very irritating. At our lait formal din
ner I had the privilege of tilting only two tablet
from the front and then at timet I could tcarce-
ly hear the people on the program who had to
generously given their time and effort. It that
courtesy? It that mannerly? I thould tay not,
and there ts no eiicute for tuch uncomplimen
tary actiona.
But wait, ttudcnts. I do not bime you en
tirely. I tat one table from the faculty table
and I think that I am absolutely justified in
ttating that they were making more noise, in
proportion to the number present than the ttu-
dentt were. It that the way to set an example?
You say, what can we do about it? That'i
easy. This school is supposed to be run on a co
operative basis, so let us not let our cooperation
expire when the 0 P ,M bell rings for dinner,
but instead, let's take it on into the dinmg hall
with us and I promise you the results will be
most pleasing

Whst IS the matter, are we ashsmed of our
college* Atlantic Qirtstian College is the insti
tution next to the church through which the
Disciples of Christ speak most strongly to
North Carolinians, as well at Americans. That
being the case why do we neglect the golden op
portunity of making our college belter known
to the Disciples over the nation?
At the Iniemaiional Convention eight Dis
ciple institutions had booths from which liter*-
lure was dislribuled to visitor*. Among the
larger schools represented were Texas Qirtstian
Universily, Transylvania College, and The Col
lege of the Bible. Among the tmaller school*
represented were Lynchburg. Hirsm. Belhany,
and Cbrislian Normal Instilnte of Grayson,
Kentucky.
A number of students and alumni who
were able to go lo the convention resented the
fact that oar school could not or did not make
the most of this goden opportunity. Then Al-
laniK Cbrtsliaji was mentioned to some of the
rrpreocaiatives, it was necessary to go into de-
uils and tell all about the sue. location, faculty,
buildings, tic. Of course, is wat indeed s
pleasure lo tell of tha worth of our dear schooL
bm still, outsiders wondered why we did not
ihink enough of our Alma Msier lo invest a few
dollars in bulletins, or some other advertising
medium
Let's not depend entirely upon our finished
products for advertising and spreading the
nsme and fame of Atlantic Christian College.

oOo
OF IlIKt HMEN AM) l*OETS
Something that all universities have in
common is that, within iheir Gothic walls,
scholastic work is exalted over creative work.
Our learned birchmen relish, as scholastic epi
cureans, a treatise on "Koman Chamber-Potlery
and its Development during the Second Half of
the Third Century, A. D.” far more than all the
new literature or an or philosophy, not of aca
demic manufacture, that might penetrate into
the universities.
That seems strange to ut, especially In view
of ihe fact that poets and artists and philoso
pher*—ususlly those who are quite dead—are
the bread and butter of scholars. The amount
of scholarship that has been committed against
Shakespeare alone, to lake a single example, is
appalling; yet still inumerable works on "new
and significant aspects” ("Did Shakespeare
wear False Teeth?*') continue lo be published
year after year. (We wish, in this connection,
10 suggest to young and ambitious Shakespeare
scholars the following fruitful topic: "How
many families have been supported by money
derived from Shakespeare scholarship?")
Even the teachers themselves are so con
vinced of Ihe impossibility of "original scholar
ship” that they have quietly resigned themselves
10 the revising, quoting, edition, re-editing and
plagiarizing of older scholars. Whether or not
Ihe general public derives any benefit from
scholarship itself i* a problem worthy of scholar
ly inquiry. On the surface of it, it appears that
Ihe reading of scholarly bombast about a poet
is distinctly more difficult and less fruitful than
the reading of the poet’s works. As to the lit
erary ments of scholarly works—but must we
go into that?
There remains only the purely commercial
side of scholarship. Here we must concede the
scholar superiority over the poet. It seems un-
jast that, while scholars prosper, iheir future
prey, the creative artists, work in obscurity and
need.

A Freshman
Dear Editor,
All the (all wa upperclassmen
have been looking forward to
Homrcominr Day. In spite of the
rain our spirits were undaunted,
and the day wat a great success.
What a pleasure aeeing all our
friends again! Everyone was so
friendly, especially at the lunch
eon in the dining hall. Strangers
mixed with utrangers because
they did have uo« thing in com-
man—dear old A. C. C. The topic
always drifted to our new chapel,
and alwayt a not* of pride and
admiration could be heard in the
voicea. Homecntnlng is a galu day
to me. and lets do all in our pow
er to make it more tuccessful
each year.

John entered A. C. in the fall
of '36 and became what he term
ed a “joiner” by joining every
thing he could including the Dra
matic Club and the band. He also
became Assistant sports editor
of the Collegiate and manager of
the freshman basketball team.
As a sophomore he was initiat
ed into the Phi DelU Gamma
j-'ratemity. He became sports edi
tor for the “Collegiate” staff, a
position which he also held in his
junior year and hoUis this year.
He was made photographic edi
tor of the school annual, the Pine
Knot, and was assistant-manager
of the basketball team and play
ed the leading role in the com
mencement play.
In his junior year he became
manager of the basketball team,

member of the Glee Club and

feel about the college gives me
a feeling lt»t there is something
around the college after all.
As the large number of alumni
were on the campus talking to
friends and classmates of former
days, they seemed to be express
ing something that was of real
Joy to them. Msny of them made
comments that the place is much
different from what it was when
they were here, they said it is
different in a bigger and better
way. A few were heard to say
that they would like to attend A.
C. now. Perhaps they said it for
sentiment's sake or perhaps they
really meant it. Anyhow they
felt that the collcge is making
progress.
In time to come I will be one
of the Alumni, I hope, to look
back as a few of thoae did the
other weak and say that the col
lege is bigger and better than it
was when I was here. But, this
will not be the reason for making
a visit to the campus. I hope
that the main idea in visiting the
campus on that day will be to ex
perience some of the experiences
that I am having now. No doubt,
it will be an experience in a dif
ferent way.
The most outstanding thing in
the event to me is in the fact
that the Alumni have been gra
cious enough to help hs they
could to make the college better
than it was when they left it,
I hereby give a hand to those who
have helped make this a better
institution in giving to it and to
those who have developed the
spirit of our college throui;h the
various gatherings of its stu
dents.
Sincerely
A Senior
f>ear Editor,
After readinft a number of let.
ters, I sometimes wonder why life
is so black. Or is life really as
terrible as some students portray
campus life and activity in their
letters.
I know you must get tirad of
constantly 1>eing surrounded by
pessimists. Perhaps the college
would be much better off i( this
number were reduced and replac
ed by students who could appre
ciate the opportunitiet of(er*d by
AtlanUc Thrirtlan College. I am
quite confident thase kill-joyt
would b« better satisfied else
where.
Remember our Collegiate Is
sent to all the schools in North
Carolina; lets give A. C. the
praise due her occasionally and
let everybody know a few of her
virtoaa.

COLLEGE RADIO NEWS
'Vox Pop
In Houston, one afternoon, an
announcer from station KTKH,
named Parks Johnson, stood out'
side the station with a hand mike
on a long piece of wire, and went
up to the first man who happen,
ed by. “Good-day, sir,” said Park*,
“if it^s an elevator when it ^o«*
up, what IS is when it goes
down?"
That was the beginning of
Vox Pop—first radio program in
which the innocent bystander be
comes the center of attention and
the man on the street has to ex*
plain what he’s doing there.
After seven years Vox Pop i*
going stronger than ever with a
new spot on the CBS network
(Thursdays, 7:30 p. m. EST) and
an attic filled with crates of
questions sent by listeners.
With the closing of the New
York World's Fair, Parks and
his partner, Wally Butterworth,
have moved their mikes to the
Barbizon Plaza Hotel in New
York. A crowd always gathers to
watch the goings on, and a few
words in Park^’ Southern accent
make the bystanders ready to tell
their all to the radio audience.
It wasn’t always as easy «
that, Parks himself almost miss
ed his diploma at Emory Univer
sity because he had stage fright
and couldn’t make a speech to
his classmates. A kindly teachw
of public speaking slid him under,
the wire. “Don’t worry", he told
Parks, “You'll never have to ?r-“
in public, anyway”.
