OFFICERS OF THE CAMPUS CRIER Charles Harrill Editor Karen Cornell Associate Editor Juanita Jones Club Editor Bob Mauldin Reporter Norma Jean Nix Business Manager Jack Bishop Sports Editor Brotherhood Week Brotherhood Week was observed at A-B with the help of two foreign students from Warren Wilson who spoke at assembly. Henry So from Korea told of his country, answering the many questions of students as to the education in the Far East and the effect of the Korean war on the people of that country. From Lebanon, Milad Wakim spoke of his vital, little nation on the east coast of the Mediterranian, and gave his impressions of America. The boys were introduced by John Cam eron, who told of the foreign students at Warren Wilson, and of the feeling of broth erhood that Exchange Students fostered. From the program A-B students were able to realize how vital an influence America has on the East. If the youth of other coun tries come to hold Democracy dear, Com munism will be crowded out of the Orient; leaving Russia a helpless island in a vast sea of freedom. Lisle's Gulf Service Tunnel Road PHONE 9773 Christian Student Union The Christian Student Union, guided by student D. W. Hawkins, held a meeting February 10, in the Music room.

Four of the members of the Gke Club, Jim Laughridge, Jimmy Matthews, Mack Cox, and Charles Robison have formed a quartet, which adds additional variety to the organization. Biltmore Dairy Farms Box 5107 BILTMORE. N. C. A-B's Future By Joseph Schandler The life of any community lies in its fu ture, and that future can only be assured if there is youth and progress present in the community. In these years of specialization, there is a growing trend for progressive young men and women to assume their rightful place in society by seeking higher learning, and by specializing. These can only be obtained through higher education; college and pro fessional training. If one of our native Western Carolinians seeks this type of train ing, he must leave home to get it. Too many of these more aggressive people never re turn, or if they return, it is for a visit, not to take up residence. We have recently read in the newspapers of various communities offering great sums of money to bring a college into their sec tion; yet, we here in Asheville have the potential, and for some reason, it is not be ing utilized. No person can be expected to attend a college that is a great distance from his home to study, participate in athletics, or what ever his motivation may be, if there is no place to stay. The future of Asheville-Biltmore with its resulting growth and progress of Asheville and Western North Carolina lies in the ex pansion of the college to include dormitory space, or some arrangement to house those students from some distances away. Then we can go out and "sell” our college by hav ing a "college life” to sell. We, then, can find the participants for athletic programs, and bring back a live program to our com munity. Film Comes To A-B The Speech-Drama Department this se mester is offering for the first time one of two new courses in Motion Picture Pro duction. The courses are number 235 and 236. Nine students are enrolled. The new class has much equipment with which to work, for Asheville’s Di Ser Cor poration has loaned a great deal of camera, titling, editing, and lighting equipment to the school. Speech-Drama Department Head, Eugene Fernette, has loaned, in addition, a great deal of camera and recording equipment. In this film class each student makes a short film for himself. This class is also currently producing a series of films in sound and color for release by the Occupa tional Health Services.
