Herb conveys his deep apprecia tion to the fellow members of his staff, to the members of the fac ulty and Dr. Bushey.

THERE ARE many unknown facts that are taken for granted by the reader of the CRIER. True the student gets three hours cred it for the course, but the hours spent outside of class are numer ous compared with those spent on other subjects. The task of get ting local college news, typing it up and getting it to the press is a large job. The correspondence with other schools and agencies is an added duty of the staff. MR.

Thanks Congratulations are due to the retiring staff of the Cam pus Crier for their making the college newspaper one to be proud of. During the past fall semester they have done a lot of hard work and spent a great deal of their time in per fecting the Campus Crier. When the school term open ed, a staff was elected to pub lish Asheville-Biltmore Col lege’s first newspaper. This staff was confronted with all the problems that arise with an undertaking of this size. They had no name for the paper and this was a problem which must be solved to everyone’s satis faction. So a contest was held, with students contributing their ideas for a name for the paper. James Hensley, presi dent of the sophomore class, thought of the name, CAMPUS CRIER, and after careful con sideration hi^ name was ac cepted over the other entries. Although we all are looking to the future for a better Campus Crier, we still look in the past and give to the' old staff. Congratulations. Durner Named Ed.-ln-Chief Of Publication In the last issue of the “Campus Crier” much was said about the retirement of the staff, this was fact and not fiction. The new staff members can verify that one. They have been bathing their eyes and rubbing out the writers cramp ever since they sent their last issue to press. When a new staff takes over they have their one and only chance for a little self publicity. So why not? Ed Durner. Editor-In-C h i e f, started his journalistic endeavors in Lee Edwards High School as a sports reporter and feature writer on the Sky High Staff, Durner served three years in this capacity. Ed is nineteen years old, and in his freshman year. He was a starter. on this years football powerhouse, using his 195 pounds at left end. Ed was named on the Greensboro news “All-State” football eleven. He plans to enroll at N. C. State for a forestry course following his graduation from A. B. C. Jack Stewart and Cecil Rob erts, Managing Editor and Assis tant Managing Editor respec tively furnish excellent material for any newspaper. Jack is an old hand at news writing, having had experience in high schol at Lee Edwards as a feature man. Last year he helped members of the Mars Hill paper although his studies kept him off the staff. Stewart finds his greatest joy on the gridiron, he played fullback and left-half (but not at the same time) on last years western conference winners. Jack’s after school activi ties are limited to a cute little brunnette. We will lose Jack next year to Miami U., we know they will be glad to get Jacks football and journalistic talents. Cecil Roberts needs no intro duction to sports fans, who saw him pass, punt, and then run like a race horse this fall, but not everyone is a sports fan. Wo Hear! Cecil is a member of that large club called “Married Men”. We were really pleased when we found that Cecil’s wife had given him the O. K. to work on the staff. Mr. Roberts is 23 years old, a graduate of Lee Edwards High School and formerly a student at Mars Hill College. Sports editor Horace (“Red”) Patty has a long line of journal ism experience, starting at Lee Edwards as a sports and feature man for two years. Continued on Back Page
