Miss Miller
Bringing Out
The Spanish:
By Peggy Compton
Buenos dias, Senores. This
week we’d like to introduce to
you one of the most wonderful
personalities in the school-r-
Senorita Maria Miller.
Miss Miller graduated from
Biltmore High School in 1920.
After graduation from high schopl
she attended Women’s College dt
Greensboro where she graduated
in 1924.
Her first teaching assignment
was at the Gastonia High School.
From Gastonia she went to Tub
man School for Girls at Augusta,
Georgia. She taught there for
nineteen years. Miss Miller came
to Asheville - Biltmore in the
summer of 1947.
She has spent most all of the
money she has made in her life
traveling during her summer va
cations. She has traveled in most
of the Spanish speaking coun
tries.
SHE SPENT FIVE summers in
Mexico, having attended the Na
tional University of Mexico lor
three of the five summers, doing
post graduate work toward her
master’s degree.
She has been to South America
twice. In 1935 she went to Co
lombia, Central America and She
West Indies. In 1939 she went
down the east coast to Buerkos
Aires. En route she visited the
most important cities of Brazil
and Uruguay.
Miss Miller spent the whole
summer of 1930 traveling
throughout Europe with one
month of the time in Spain.
“Of all the places I’ve been I
still like Mexico best of all,” said
Miss Miller. When asked which
city she likes best in Mexico, she
said. “Mexico City.”
DURING THE WAR Miss Mil
ler worked for the Quartermaster
General in Washington, D. C., for
one summer and she worked for
the Civil Aeronautics Association
for another summer.
Miss Miller is very optimistic
about the future of Asheville-
Biltmore College and she said, “I
am a firm believer in my students
and definitely have their interest
at heart.”
Spanish is Miss Miller’s chief
interest in life. Her greatest am
bition is “to be a good Spanish
teacher and to learn more about
Spanish and Spanish-sneaking
people.” We of the Spanish
classes know that she has already
attained this goal.

The "Pipe"
This young reporter, with some
very definite Walter Winchell
tendencies, is afraid that after
this publication he will be very
quickly branded a “radical.”
With this so-c.alled radical thouglit
in mind, he would like to state
now that he is 100% for A .B. C.
and wants to see it grow as a two
year or four year college, which
ever the President and board see
fit. The “Pipe” would like to take
his pipe out right now to Coach
Coman and Coach Woody and
their team who have done such a
fine job of serving notice that
after so many years of inactivity,
A. B. C. is now ready to gain its
place at the top of Junior Col
leges.
The “Pipe,” being the type that
has to put his two cents in about
everything, would like to state
that with the exception of our
good friend and rival some
twenty miles awav to the west,
who doesn’t have dances anyway,
he has yet to see a “dry” college
dance. This corner is of the firm
belief that a college student is old
enough to decide for himself
whether or not he will be “dry”
or “wet.” Personally, the “Sadie
Hawkins Dance” was great and
the “Pipe” thinks it should be
made an annual affair.
The “Pipe” would like to know
iust how much power does A. B,
C.’s Student Council possess. I
have heard of students being call
ed before the faculty for various
reasons. Th “Pipe” is not suggest
ing that the faculty has been un
just, for frankly, I don’t know;
however, this columnist would
like to see the Student Council
being given the power to try or
hear cases involving students. If
any of you, my fellow students,
have any comment pro or con
concerning this idea, I would
greatly appreciate your handing
in your comments to “The Cam
pus Crier.”
The “Pipe” would like to see
the students of Asheville-Bilt-
more gain a little more school
spirit that has been noticablv
lacking. That is our school and
it’s going to be what we make it.
no more, no less. Concerning the
school spirit, I would again like
to take my pipe out to the two
custodians of the school spirit,
Pete Grant and Lyle Davis. This
school spirit that Lvle and Pete
have shown leadership in, is re-'
garded very seriouslv bv stu
dents in most schools. It’s not the
school, it’s us. let’s do somethmf^
about it. ’Nuff said, less talk and
more action is the answer.

Of, For And
By The Vets
By Niekie Bonarrigo
An effort will be made shortly
to revive the Teague Bill, whicn
would give newly-hired World
War II veterans in the postal
service seniority credits equal to
tneir length of military service,
in determining salaries and pro
motions. It was shelved by tne
House Post Office and Civil Serv
ice Committee last summer. The
Bill was introduced by Rep. Olin
Teague (D., Tex.)
Under the guiding hand of the
American Legion, Amvets, Vete
rans of Foreign Wars, and at least
ten other vet organizations, a
nation-wide drive, to convince
Congress that the American peo
ple advocate legislation for uni
versal military training, got under
way this week. The vet groups,
backed by sixty-eight naitonal or
ganizations, expect to obtain 10
million signatures on petitions
supporting immediate enactment
of universal military legislation
which is now pending.
Because of the mysterious dis
appearance of two ex-GI wit
nesses, the U. S. Department of
Justice cannot prosecute Mrs. Iva
Ikuke Toguri D’Aquino, better
known as “Tokyo Rose,” who is a
native of Los Angeles, but who
has been living in Japan since
1939, for treason. Apparently, the
Justice and State departments are
powerless to prevent her return
to this country because she is an
American citizen against whom
there are no criminal charges.,
A new ruling by the V. A.,
which puts an end to the prima
facie system, which allows vets
whose ailments are apparently
sti vice-connected to receive med
ical care while awaiting action
on their claims, has been an
nounced. Beginning Jan. 1, 1948,
vets may not receive medical care
or out-patient treatment for serv
ice-connected disabilities until
they have acquired formal ap
proval on their claims.
