YOUTH
•
If I were allowed to say but one thing to the
youth of {oday, it wou'.d be this: Do not believe what
your elders have been tellint^ you, that you are the
lost generation. That is false. It is not you who
are lost but it is your ciders. In the next ten years,
youth must do the things that their elders failed to
do. They must develop new leaders and open new
paths into the future. There are signs that this is
being done.
Schools of public administration have been formed
in our leading universities and are overflowing with
the young seeking the ways and means of admin
istering to Americans.
True many opportunities are closed. No longer
will there be Daniel Boones, George Washingtons, or
old-style captains of industry. VeV, no longer will
thei-e be cur'tftroaT crferpetition, public fraud, and
tlie “pub!ic-be-flamned” attitude of yesterday.
Today there comes the challenge for leader.ship'
in aifairs of government, in education, in economics.
and in religion.
America holds aloof in their great responsibility
and desire of leadership that will in due time fall
upon the shoulders of those who can hold their sails
to the wind and bear the burden of the pa.st de
cayed civUization which now must not crumble.

more balanced menus.
The Egyptians sought a more perfect pfece of
fried crocodile leg plus a delicacy of beaten loaf.
The Athenians always thought their wine far less
sparkling than that of the Macedonians. The war
riors of Rome fought many batt.-s in dreamland
due to a hunger for Carthagenian dates and barley
bread.
The
yearning hunger of
the races-of the ages
marches on—From Rome to Louisburg there ap-
jiears little satisfaction. Once a famous dietician
when questioned regarding his poor judgment stateil
that to enjoy the sweets we must at.times taste the
bi'ter. As often pre.'^ent conditions indicate—the bit
ter n:)W has the upper hand with many of the
menus. Why not try a bahmcing of foods? Attempt
to please rnoi’e often the hunger of several in place
of the few—Which again reminds me of the conver
sation at Napoleon’s banquet—Napoleon to a .subor
dinate—“Pass the beans”—Subordinate—“Yes, Your
Honor but wiiich kind—buttei black-eyed, or just
plain beans.”
BACK YOUR TEAM
Corsid-"rirg the distance to the William and Mary
game on Sept. 28 the local ball club was loyally sup
ported. However ye writer wonders if as to the
continued loyalty if the ball club should get off to a
very poor beginning. The boys played real football
during most of the W. and M. game. Their spirit
was much above the average. Y'et it takes more than
average football pep to keep a football team hust
ling against such clubs as W. and M., Naval Appren
tice. or Bluefield College. We must stick in there
and fight just as much as the boys. Show them that
we are proud of their work. We are congratulating
the whole team, for eleven men. cannot make a ball
club—not even twenty-two men can.
Coach Suttenfield has had a mammoth job fitting
new and untried men into a smooth-working ma
chine. The machine will not only run but has been
proven to have great power. Now, to thank “Coach
and his squad” for their beginning and hope for an
even greater finish let’s get going with all our pep.
Trojans we are behind you—win or lose—Let’s Go
Big Team!!!
(Editor’s Note: One of the
fundamental policies of the
“ Lo’Co” is direct cooperation
with all phases of the college
Thus we have asked for the best
freshman themes of the year. It
will be the policy of tne "Lo’Co’
to run the best papers that are
handed to Miss Lilly Let^on
head of the English Depart
ment.
In naming this colum'i “Green
Mius Lvttcn st::t;-{’
that the idea, came to her due
to the reaction from the first
English assignment, which v,as
to be a theme of 1.10 or more
words on any subject.
The students wrote on all
subjects imaginable, however
music and other cultural sub
jects were the winner in propor
tion of five to o!ie. Yet. the
world smacks our youth with
such bombastic tones us this:
"You are not capable of cultural
possibilities.”
With Miss Letton. Ye Editor
challenges the rank futility of
supposedly an uncultured youth.
Strive young amateurs to make
your talents the flowers of a
new renaissance.

WHY? SUBSCRIPTIONS!
The apparent negative manner that a majority of
the students are receiving their new publication and
the failure to pay up subscription rates reminds Ye
Editors of the apex of drifting and dreaming.
We are moving at every point, stressing every
issue, and leaving absolutely nothing untouched to
givo to you, students of Louisburg College, a pub
lication worthy and ever more worthy of your ac
ceptance.
The publishing house not only charges for its
work but must be paid. “Y'es” you say “but don’t the
ads care for all cost?”
A mighty fine ad department we would have if
it were possible to receive such business. No one
accepts something for nothing. Some sLudents have
done their part. Others are still minus. Get on the
band wagon. Pay up—be up—and stay up.
FREEDOM OF THE COLLEGE
PRESS
By Cleo Fox
In many schools there ai'e situations that need to
be cori’ected and the college paper affords the stu
dent body valuable opportunities for thought ex
pression. Often students desire to make corrections
in the college government or to express their views
clearly to the administration, rhe most logical way
of doing this is through the paper. The printed word
carries infinitely more power than the speaking.
Often there are many students who desire to share
in influencing the school management but circum
stances prevent them from openly advocating a
change of school policy. Their views may reach other
students and influence them through this channel.
Students feel, and they should have a right to,
that the views in the paper are primarily their own.
The paper is their assurance of just treatment. If
any difficulty arises between the students and the
administration the newspaper is the arbitrating
agent and often misunderstandings are cleared by
a simple printed explanation.
• And lastly, the newspaper is the powerful student
voice for almost every newspaper is heartily backed
by the students. The college paper of today cooper
ates as best it can wnth the administration and aids
them in building a more powerful institution. '
There is nothing more wonder
ful than a poem, except, a living
man and a book. I have seen
som.e of the glories of nature’s
'.vork and a small amount of the
mystery of life, but none com-
•^are with the comfort of a beloved
;>oem. In books we get a message
from human souls whom we never
saw. who lived, perhaps, thous
ands of miles away; yet, they
speak to us teach us, amuse us
and open their hearts to us. All
of these things we find in a poem
Also poems express happiness, sad
'less. emotion, kindness,
Sometime in the near future
‘here is to be formed an Interna
tional Discussions C'ub. This club
"il! be for the THINKING student
who v.-ishes to express and hear
expi'essed views on Internationa'
)roblf'ms and pvo.'i-ressive ideas. In
most colleges there are to be found

•ial, economical and any current
■vent that t1ie members are inter-

In addition to these topics there
will be discussed new scientific dis
coveries and pro,'j:ress in religion
the arts and literature.
The m.orphorship v.ill be limited
'o those Hiat are r( ally interested,
not just casually interested. There
' ill prob-ibly be a place of meet
ing for the club.

address to the students of L. C.
at chapo! L:st Thu“'=dTv. The top

He made mention of the fact that
since there were people who stood
out among the large groups there
were also those wlio stood out in
