THE CAMPUS CRIER MONTHLY NEWSPAPER OF ASHEVILLE-BILTMORE COLLEGE VOL. I. ISSUE 3 ASHEVILLE, N.C. MAY. 1956 ISSUE! GRADUATION SPECIAL! Showing of ^The Birth of a Nation'" After a postponement when the film failed to arrive, the Sp:ech-Drama Club’s showing of "ihe Birth of a Nation” finally materialized on April 9, instead of on April 6, which had betn the date previously an nounced.

"We cannot be expected to put on activi ties of this sort,” speech-drama director, Eu gene H. Fernette announced, "unless we ob tain greater cooperation from our students and facult}' in supporting such events.” TIME OUT FOR SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE LAN IERN OF THE LORD The following paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm was written by a Korean student about her experiences in crossing the 38th parallel to flee from Comm .mist oppression in North Korea in 1946. "The Lord is my lantern— He lightens up the road I take; Although the way be dark and rough, since I have the Lord’s lantern, I will not be hesitant about where to step. Because the light of the Lord's love il luminated my way 1 v/as able to come over the 38th parallel in one leap. Although my life is one of wandering in a valley where the Red Horse charges, l am not terrified, for He is with me. The Lord’s love inspires me and draws me and encourages me. My cup runs over. Because the Lord will give light through my whole life, I will dwell in his bright and shining house forevermore.” FACTS ABOUT OUR COLLEGE DID YOU KNOW THAT— —the fortune accumulated by the Seeley’s (who built the estate which is now our College campus) was derived from a patent medicine? —that the lions flanking the driveway where it passes beneath the library were brought from Atlanta? —that what is now the office of our college was the children’s play room when this was the Seeley’s estate?
