S'l'AFI-' PlKrrOGRAPHER Frank Yow A.si^isl- Baker, The Asheville-Biltmore Bulldogs have just coinpleted their most outstanding- year on the gridiron. This has been a year of glory for the Bulldogs and for the College. We are happy that we have the op portunity to dedicate thi.s issue of the Campus Crier as a tribi to to the players. Bulldogs, wc salute you. Many students of A-B heard tlie Orchestra National of France in the Asheville auditorium Wednesday night through the courtesy of nic Junior I>eague, sponsor oX the orche.stra. Because the price of admission was prohibitive for many students, some would not have had the pleasure of attendinig had it not been for the public spirited leader.si of the League. In behalf of tho.se who attended, “We thank yo^u. Junior League.” By MAC Uavo a (Mip of coffee, yoii-all, and let‘s (;hat awhile.

We’re expecting great things from this sea.^on's basketeers, but I won’t complain if they don’t do any better than tha Bulldog griddei-.s did this year. . . . WhiclV remind.s ine, did ■you kno'.v that ‘Mrfi. Lowrance’.s fir.st year typing class correctly predicted the outcome o-f nearly every game. For example, they told us that the Bulldogs would wallop Pre.sbyterian with a total of . 40 points (the aotual .score wa-s 44-6 in oi r favor). They al.so said that the A-BC-IIiwa.ssee game would coni-o out 25-,14, and who could forget the thrilling hiat quarter of that game, in which the battling Bulldogs came from behind to make the llnal tally 2i-lS? . . . OK, Mister Tludeen, I'll quit pestering you—if you’ll buy a bigger coffee pot . . . Mr. IJrock and his Conce.seionnaires profitted tfce school over SGflO thi.H Beason. Ko-t bad, not bad! . . .

I he diive to obtain more books for the BiUmore College library recog nizes this need, and the library has been considerably enlarged. In this connection, it has oc- cured to me that there is a rela tively inexpensive means by which those desiiing to contribute books to the college might obtain more books, and not only obtain them more inexpensively, but secure l.)00ks which Avould be very dif- fidvlt to obtain otherwise, except at prohibitive co.st, Asheville is fortunate in having within her boundaries two old- liook stores which contain many volumes which would be valuable additions to any library. One of these contains over ten thousand volumes of books of almost every subject; the other contains sev eral thousand volumes of out of I’ji'int books and tirst edition.s, all at very reasonable prices .from ..’i cents to $1.00 in most instances. Tr’ e, some of these books are fiction, but there is a .great wealth of material on hi.story, liiography. psychology, philosophy. religion, travel, contemporary events, lit erary criticism and science. There are also complete sets of authors and bound files of old magazines of the 1 800's. Some of these books are two hundred years old. [ suggest, therefore, that to all who are interested in contributing to the up-building of Biltmore .

(Signed) Grant W. Owen. Students and faculty of Ashe- viUe-Biltmorc college wore highly pleased with an a.ssembly. program condicted by their own ilr. Mos er. ^li-. .Moser, who is very well Icnown for his collection, and singing, of folk song, presented i^ome of his be.st selections. lie has spent a lot of his time traveling through the mountains of North Carolina, Kentucky, I'ennes.see, and Virginia collecting the.se songs. Some of his collec tions are now in the Library of Congress. Of all the selections he sang, the students seemed to like, "Good Old ^Mountain Dew” the best. C. C U. N.

On November 17, they had as their topic: “The Berlin Blo«ik- ade.” In this discu.s«ion, the stu dents .aave their interpretations of the eonti'ibuting factors leading to the crisis in the Berlin area now.
