Remembrances
Of Times Past
By ROBBY KOELLING
The April 20, 1935 edition of the Collegiate is not
the most cheerful on record. An editorial stated that
the "basketball squad went thiough a complete confer
ence schedule and played one gome in the Charlotte
tournament without o single win. This should be of
some consolation to those who were upset over the loss
to High Point lost week. The baseball team was in simi
lar difficulty, after seven games they had still failed to
achieve a victory.
Things weren't very bright in the academic field
either. The Collegiate bemoaned the fact that only five
per cent of the student body made the honor roles, com
pared to 14 per cent who mode it at UNC and 10 per
cent who made it at Woke Forest. This must hove shaken
the students up. A large amount of editorial space for
the next three years was devoted to the problem of cheat
ing on campus. A typical statement is found in the May
16, '38 issue of the paper. A senior, in a letter to the
editor, said that "more time was spent by some in copy
ing small notes on small pieces of paper, small cords, or
actually in the exo.m book than was spent in reviewing
for the test."
You can't knock the students back then about every
thing, though. The April 22, 1938 edition covered on
SGA election. An article said that "voting, however, afel
shci'i' as only a bare two-thirds majority actually caSt
their ballots." In recent years it has been considered
0 good turn-out if a two-tenths vote was cost.
ACC was very much a leligious institution in those
years. Chapel was tv/ice a week and religious emphasis
week was held once a year. The religious emphasis was
reilected in other fields. In the Dec. 15, 1938 dition
of the Collegiate the editorial read, "Twice since Septem
ber long editorials hove been printd about dressing for
meals. . .The request is a simple one—will you please
wear a coat and tie to dinner. . .Think it over carefulty
and see if your own sense of common self respect does
not tell you we ore right." There was also a letter to the
editor which read, "When 1 entered this college I under
stood there was to be no cord ploying of any kind." The
letter complained that this was not true. ". . .at first
the boys would play cords late at night and kept their
doors locked." Unfortunately, they began to spend all

^Alienation, Activism, AndApathf
Or: ‘How To Sleep In Chapel’
By JIM ABBOTT
It was cold and windy as the
students filed into the gym
nasium for this semester’s
second convocation program.
The speaker was Dr. Clifford B.
Reifler, who received his Ph.D.
from Yale University and is
presently serving as the senior
psychiatrist at the Student Health
Center at North Carolina
University. Soon after Dr. Reifler
began his talk this reporter
sensed that the cold atmosphere
that prevailed on the outside of
the gym was also prevalent on
the gym’s inside. It appeared that
while Dr. Reifler was talking to
the students, the students were
talking amongst themselves. (I
even noticed one faculty member
nodding his head in silent
slumber).
Dr. Reifler’s comments dealt
with a subject that is of con
temporary significance,
“Alienation, Activism, and
Apathy.” Systematically
breaking down the different
causes of alienation among young
adults, Reifler noted that there
are three dehumanizing causes
or rebellions in modern society: a
Red Rebellion, the Communist
movement; a Black Rebelhon;
the strivings of the negroes; and .
finally there is a Green Rebellion,
or the demand for hallucinatory
drugs. It is in one or a com
bination of these rebellions that
the main causes for student
alienation may be found.
Dr. Reifler went on to say that
the uninvolvement of faculty
members with the students is
another prime cause of student

alienation. Also on the subject of
professors, Reifler noted that
students have been trying the
patiences of professors for
hundreds of years and that St.

Similar training projects are also
being undertaken in various
industries around Wilson.
The major point offered waj
the need for increased par

10 students agreed to “talk the

interest.

instruction in setting up first aid

The possibility of a fire during
shower-times makes such a plan
highly advisable. Smith added.
