State College Head
Visits Campus
Last Thursday afternoon, April 23,
Mr. J. W. Harrelson, Dean of the
Administration at North Carolina
State College, talked to those students
who are interested in engineering
work.
Dean Harrelson talked to the group
gathered in the auditorium on tech
nological work and suggested that we
need more people to become cultur
ed engineers. He pointed out the
importance of engineering and agri
culture in our every day lives and
stated that we needed more good agri
culture teachers in our present-day
schools. He indicated the best fields
in this work and made suggestions;
but he stated that, whatever field we
went into, we should do our best to be
come efficient in that work.
Among the most helpful things that
Dean Harrelson did while here was
to go over the engineering and agri
culture curriculum at State. He
stressed the most important points in
these and offered suggestions along
this line. He also discussed the
qualifications on State for this type of
work and told of the chances that one
had of obtaining some self-help work
to help defray the expenses.
After this discussion before the en
tire group Mr. Harrelson held individ
ual conferences with those who wish
ed to talk with him privately and ob
tain other information.
Shorthand Class
Visits Offices
Wednesday, April 29, Miss Dolan
accompanied her shorthand class, of
about twenty students, to Asheville,
where they visited several of the larg
er offices to observe how the work
there is done.
The group left about nine-thirty and
spent most of the day in observation.
Besides the regular classroom work,
this group has made several visits
throughout the year for experience.
Hike To Glen | Aggies Give Barbecue
Cannon Falls
Last Sunday, April 26, Miss Smith
conducted the first spring hike which
went to Glen Cannon Falls, leaving
about three-thirty and returning at
seven.
Approximately forty students were
among the group, many of whom had
not been to the falls before. The group
took the shortest course it could, but
they hiked, in the course of the after
noon, about eight miles.
At the falls the group went wading;
some found the rock a bit slippery and
found themselves walking home in
wet clothes. A new course was taken
on the return trip for the purpose of
enjoying new scenery.
Glen Cannon Falls are located about
four miles southwest in a creek, just
beyond the French Broad River.
Hikes of this nature will very prob
ably be conducted each Saturday or
Sunday until the close of the quarter.
Girls Remodel Sitting
Room of West Hall
Recently the girls of West Hall, un
der the direction of Miss Smith, have
changed almost completely the appear
ance of their sitting room by some re
modelling work. Not long ago the
Dramatic Club gave quite a bit of
money for this purpose, and the girls
certainly used it in a good way.
Curtains have been made by the girls
and put up, the walls have been cal-
cimined, the furniture rearranged so
as to give the best effect, the piano
put in shape, and two new lamps
placed in the room. All in all, it looks
like a new place, and the daters con
sider it the best place to hold their
little tete-a-tete now. Miss Smith and
the girls should be commended for
this good work.
The boys of Taylor Hall are plan
ning something along the same line.
The Dramatic Club also gave them
some money for this purpose, and the
Taylor Hall Council has convassed the
Tomorrow night the Scientific Farm
ers’ Union will conduct a barbecue

A Joint Service
One of the most interesting and in
spiring mid-week programs presented
this year took place in the auditorium
Thursday evening. This program was
a joint assembly of the West Hall ser
vices. The speaker for the evening

First Baptist Church, who delivered
