of the girls’ dormitory council for

At Chapel
April 5ih. Mr. Barclay spoke
to the student body and foculty.
His topic was “The Difference in
Being a Likeable and an Admir
able Person.” Mr. Barclay con
tinued his speech by liisting the
Qualities that go to make up a
“likeable” person and these which
make up an “admirable” person.
He concluded that it is much bet-
ter to be admired rather than
liked, for a person who is liked
only for his likeable qualities will
be eventually disliked; however,
A person admired for his admir
able characteristiofl will be soonei
or later liked.

STUDENTS EXPELLED
This is not a trend-of-the-times
note, but we believe you should
keep informed on such matters
just the same. Five students of
Young Harris College have been
expelled for leading a strike to
have a no-hand-holding rule re-
i*cinded by the faculty.
Said college’s presideffit after the
action: is one institution
where the faculty will not brook
Bolshevism.”
Midland College faculty mem-
btrs traveled an average of almost
2,<>00 miles on lecture tours and
convention trips during the ^t
s<'hool semester.

forth a host of potential cmndi-
dat«s and elected Ray Silverthorne
editor of The i*ine Knot, succeed
ing John G. Edwards, and Marj-
Nackos editor of The Collegiate,
succeeding Burney McCotter. Bus
iness Managers of both publica
tions will be run wff Friday.
Kay Silverthorne, of Washing
ton, N. C., defeated Paul Ether
idge of Kenly. in a close but beat
ed race. This election was very
cloae and the voting registration
was one of the largest in recent
years. Kay has been active in stu
dent affairs this year—President
of the YMCA, Business Manager
of the Pine Knot, member o( Phi
Kappa Alpha Fraternity, and an
active member of several other or
ganizations.
Mary Nackf • of Wilaon, proved
to be a popular candidate by up
setting James Cr<‘asy of Wilming
ton, for the editorship of The Col-!
legiate.
Both have been steady workeis
on student publications. Mary is
a sophomore, membi*r of Phi Sig
ma Tau Sorority, IJterar>’ Editot
of The Pinv Kni)t, Associate Ed

The Businbss Manager of Tn#*
Collegiate will be decided on by
students balloting between Charles
Eagles and Jim Walters. (9)arle«
is the better known the two
and is a little ahead of his op
ponent as far as the popular sur
vey can tell.
Members of the staffs will be
iM'lected in a week or two and the
new ciditor will have charge of the
May UAue of The Collegiate.
