Joe Gets It Again
Irene Discusses Coffins^ Digging
Machines, See Cards And Grammar
By IRENE HARRELL
Assistant Librarian
It was in the air the other day
that EMBAmiNG MADE EASY
had been returned so I guess it’s
safe to assume that Joe finished
the job.
What! Good gracious, man! Tell
Joe that he doesn’t have to wait
for Friday’s newspaper to give him
information on what to do next. He
can ask librarians for help at any
time— that’s what we’re here for.
Some things shouldn’t lie around
forever, you know. Yeah! Well
teU him to look in the card cata
log under the subject COFFINS.
We ought to have a book or two
that would give him information
on how to go about building one.
And while he’s about it let him
find a graveyard and a digging
machine and be thru with this
business. I’d like to get cheerful
again. Under the subject GRAVE-
yards he’ll find what we call a
“see card”. It reads “Graveyards,
see CEMETERIES” and just
means that he should look under
the term CEDVIETERIES for infor
mation on burial places.
There is a “see card” under
DIGGING MACHINES too. It reads
“DIGGING MACHINES, see EX
CAVATING MACHINES”. This
doesn’t mean that we think our
terminology is better than his—
just that we have to take one term
and stick to it. We do try to make
“see references” to our term
from other terms people might log
ically use tho. Aw, it doesn’t in
clude making a reference “DAM
ES, see GIRLS”. You still have to
use your head for someting.
Sometimes you’ll encounter “see
also” cards in the catalog. These
just refer you from a term we do
use to other headings that might
be useful to you. When Joe has
finished disposing of his latest mis
take he might want a book design
ed to help get himself back to nor
mal. Those ghastly dreams he has
been having have got to go. Under
DREAMS there is a “see also”
card reading: DREAMS, see also
NIGHTMARES. This subject
seems to get right at the heart
of one of his nagging problems.
Mjaybe after this experience he
win quit horsing around and get to
work. At least he should know
how to find books in the library.
Next week we’ll start on maga
zines— shudder.
GRAMMAR LESSON
Dear Joe, Understand that you
wlU. soon have personal affairs suf
ficiently under control that you can
devote more time ta Harry and
his miserable language. It seems
to me that he has begun to use
“doesn’t” a little more lavishly.
Be careful not to ride him too
far or you’ll have him sipouting
“They doesn’t” just like he says
“for he and I”. (We’ll tackle that
mistake another time. Even profs
and preachers trip on it.)
How about working on his third
person singular ipast tense this
week? This morning I heard him
say “John run into a lighpost yes-
Circle K Club Story
Shows Service Record
By WILLLVM WATERS
“The Circle K club is not just
another social fraternity but a
service organization similar to Ki-
wanis and other service clubs. It
serves at the college level. It is
a character building group which
offers service on the campus, to
the school and to the community.”
This, in the words of the Circle
K pamphlet, is the Circle K club
in brief. The motto of Circle K
is the same as that of its sponsor,
Kiwanis International, namely,
“We Build.” Through living to
ward this motto, members of Cir
cle K give themselves in unselfish
and practical service and attain
a better buUt character. Circle K
is not a fraternity or secret organi
zation; but it is a service group
which makes a contribution to the
school administration, the faculty,
the school, the student body and
the community. The success of
Circle K depends upon the intelli
gent loyalty and faithful activi
ty of the members of the local
club.
The club is sponsored by the
Kiwanis club and is an interna
tional organization which began in
1947 when the first Circle K. club
was founded at Carthage College,
Carthage, Illinois. In 1952 a Speci
al International Committee on Cir
cle K Clubs was created to link
the organization with the Kiwanis
International. In 1955 representa
tives from various Circle K clubs
met and adopted a proposed Cir
cle K International Constitution
and By-laws and were given ap
proval by Kiwanis International to
form Circle K International. Then
in May, 1956, a Circle KDepart-
ment was created in the Kiwanis
General Office in Chicago to corre
late Circle K activities.
The local Circle K club is the
basic 'unit of Circle K Interna
tional. Then in May, 1956, a Cir
cle K Department was created in
the Kiwanis General Office in Chi
cago to correlate Circle K activi
ties.
The local Circle K club is the
basic unit of Circle K Internation
al. This is Where real service is
performed and where the mem
bers obtain the direct results. Cir
cle K was organized on the cam
pus of Atlantic Christian College
in the Spring of 1959 and is spon
sored by the Wilson Kiwanis club.
The officers of the Atlantic
Christian College Circle K club
are: President, John (Beaver)
Greenway; Secretary, Frank
Brooks; Treasurer, William Wat
ers; and Publicity, Alton Lee. Mr.
John Rich, Dean of Men, serves
as faculty advisor to the local
group.
The members, in addition to the
officers, are James Harris, James
Weaver, Tommy Parham, Dick
Ullon, Bob Matthews, Buddy West
brook, John Cox, Mike Busby, Reg
gie Goodwin, Tommy Norvell, Bob
by Atkinson, Tommy Temple,
Johnny McBride, Jim Trader, Ed
Worley, and Lynn Mclver.
terday”. He’s forever using a plur
al present verb when he should
use a singular past verb. Remind
him that “John runs into a Ught-
post now”—keeping those curves
in the third singular present
‘cause John feels just like Harry
does about ’em— but “John ran
into a lightpost yester
day”. (Knowing how John drives
I’d give odds that he’d do it tomor
row too.) Can you think of any
memorable way to impress that
upon his mind—short of taking
his driver’s license, that is? Of
course you know that he should
never say “John run” unless he
means for John to get the heck
out of there fast— that’s called
the imperative in grammarian’s
parlance.
Maybe the trouble aU 'began
back in the first grade when he
spent hours and hours memorizing
“See Jane. See Jane run. Run
Jane run.” That first grade reader
might be the root of a lot of his
troubles. Whydoncha suggest that
to his psychiatrist?.

Quiz Tough
Wise men through the ages have
had some pointed things to say
about education and study. As we
face the new semester with high
hopes and some trepidation, per
haps some words from the wise
might offer solace.
Below are listed 11 quotations
all having to do with the academic
life. How many can you correctly
identify? Seven out of eleven and
you’re Phi Bete material; six cor
rect and you’re Dean’s List; five
or less, and yvu’d better hit the
books a little harder.
1. The learned are seldom pretty
fellows, and in many cases .their
appearance tends to discourage a
love of study in the young.
2. Note too that a faithful study
of the liberal arts humanizes
character and permits it not to be
cruel.
3. Of making many books there
is no end; and much studying is a
weariness of the flesh.
4. Educational relations make
the strongest tie.
5. For the student there is, in its
season, no better place than the
saddle, and no better companion
than the rifle or the oar.
6. Order and simplification are
the fist steps toward the mastery
of a subject - the actual enemy is
the unknown.
7. No profit grows where is no
pleasure ta’en; In brief, sir, study
what you most aftect.
8. Real education must ultimate
ly be Umited to men who insist
on knowing, the rest is mere
sheep-herding.
9. Soaip and education are not
as sudden as a massacre, but they
are more deadly in the long run.
10. I wish that some one would
give a course in how to Uve. It
can’t be taught in the colleges;
that’s perfectly obvious, for college
professors don’t know any better
than the rest of us.
11. If I were founding a univers
ity I would found first a smoking
room; then when I had a little
more money in hand I would
found a dormitory; then after that,
...a decent reading room and a
library after that, if I still had
more money that I couldn’t use,
I would hire a professor and get
some textbooks.

By BETTY ANN THOMAS
'Wen-hsueh Sun graduated from
Providence English Clollege, which
is equivalent to one of our junior
colleges, in Formosa, China, in
1958. Because of her desire to fur
ther her education and to learn
more English, she decided to come
to the United States for her college
education. A friend of her family
who is in the United States furn
ished her information regarding
Messiah College in Grantham,
Pennsylvania. It was in this small
church - related school that Wen
became enrolled in September,
1958.
A year later Wen transferred to
ACC in order to be near a close
friend of her family. The students
at ACC have a warm appreciation
of Wen — her quiet selt-discipline
in regard to her studies and her
magnetic personality are her dis
tinctive features. How docs Wen
like being a student at ACC? “I
feel that this is my second home.”
she says. “AU the students and

Back To Taipei
faculty members are helpful and
friendly.”
Wen is a senior, majoring in
elementary education. After gradu
ation in August, she plans either to
attend graduate school or go back
to Taipei and teach. She adds that
she would like to travel through
the U. S. before going home.
“Home” to Wen is Formosa in
Taipei. She was born in Tsing-Tae,
in the northern part of China. Be
tween the ages of 11 and her
family moved to Formosa where
both her parents practice medi
cine. Wen has two brothers in the
United States. One is in graduate
school at the University of Wash
ington, studying civil engineering.
The other is doing graduate work
in math at Des Moines, Iowa.
Wen’s religious background is
Christian, her grandparents having
been Presbyterians. She is a mem
ber of the West Nash Methodist
Church in Wilson. On campus Wen
is an honorary member of Delta
Sigma sorority, and she works in
the dining-hall.
Wen is very grateful for the
educational opportunities she has
had in America, but of course she
is eager to be united with her
family once more.
