October 31, 1952 COLUMNS Page Three GM Engineer Is Speaker for Chapel Revised Version “I hope you’ll live to make a million dollars,” asserted Mr. Ches ter Linsky, supervising engineer of the General Motors Institute of (Technology, Flint, Michigan, in the assembly hour at Louisburg College, Louisburg, September 19, as he spoke on what industry expects of youth and what indus try offers youth. The youthful executive urged the fact of industry’s demand for imagination, co-operation, and am bition in its employees. He paid tribute to Louisburg College as an institution designed and imple mented to help students develop the character stamina desired by big industry. “Fortunately you are in a school like Louisburg, that has a church and ethical tie-in ” he commented, relating his own experience in a state school. Mr. Linsky spoke of the high standards, personal guidance, and cordial atmosphere he had found as characteristics of this small col lege. “The better the education — ethical backing — the better fit ted we feel you are for us,” he as serted. A firm foundation in the funda mentals together with a knowl edge of the humanities and the cultural such as fine arts he men tioned as preparation seriously sought be employees. He stated that big industry prefers training its own employees in technical skills. Not the bookworm and not the genius are sought by employers in industry according to a Time mag azine survey, but the person with “good solid grades” on his rec ord and campus experience in ex- tracurriculars and with people. “We, as industry, shop for the man that is going to give us the best return for his efforts . . . We want people interested in par ticipation in matters that affect their job ” Mr. Linsky emphasized the im portance of the students intelligent, earnest application to his task and declared, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” The campus runabout. Mr. Lin sky affined, wants pay for work he is not going to do. The speaker emphasized industry’s lack of in terest in the person not adequate ly equipped in character and fun damentals of English, such as ac curacy in speaking, writing, and spelling. Mr. Linsky’s position with Gen eral Motors takes him through out the nation and gives him close contact with the upper-brackets of the economic scene. A visitor on Louisburg carrrpus, Mr. Linsky is the son-in-law of Mr. L D. Moon of the department of education of Louisburg College, and Mrs. L D. Moon formerly held the position of home-economics teacher in the college. Artist Speaks (Continued from Page 1) manence of oil paintings by wait ing months while colors dried on the canvas. “I seldom do painting on the spot,” Mills declared, explaining that a hurried sketch or sometimes a snapshot was the usual beginning of the finished product, and adding that he was always on the watch for subjects. He was an art pupil of Mrs. Stu art Davis of Louisburg while he was a student at the college. Mills attributed to her his knowledge of color and harmony. He referred slightly to his later study in art in a school in Nashville, Tennessee. (Continued from Page 1) possible. He says, “With the aid of the oldest manuscripts yet known and with new knowledge of Greek and Hebrew vocabularies, we have really been recovering it. In that sense, this new Bible is actually the oldest.” As it strengthens your under standing of God’s Word, it will bring renewed inspiration to you and to those you love. Dramatics Club Is Formed by Students The Dramatics Ciub is organiz ed for the students who enjoy act ing or participating in any of its many parts. To be a member of the dramatics club, one must have a C average. The club meets every second and fourth Tuesday nights in the au ditorium.

Going Is Concern The International Relations Club, founded by Mr. Gretter is again a going concern this year. The main goal of the I. R. C., as the title implies, is to help pro mote good relations on an inter national basis; the discussion of national problems, however, is not left out. Club membership to date has not reached any staggering proportion, but of the 13 members who joined, the cooperation has been most hearty. The Oak Editor Marvin Jordan of Weldon was chosen editor of the Louisburg Col lege Annual. He succeeded Mar garet Lee of Four Oaks, the 1951- 52 editor.

'Swing Your Partner' That is really what we did Sat urday night, September 13th. The Methodist Church of Louisburg gave in honor of the old and new students of Louisburg College a square dance in the gymnasium. The dance was called by Taylor Dodson. After each square dance there was a slow dance. Then around 9:30 some of the women of the church served us punch and cook ies. In all, we had an enjoyable night. In behalf of all the students of Louisburg College, we wish to thank the people of the Methodist Church for a very enjoyable eve ning. Intramural Softball, Football Interesting Wide interest haa been shown this year by the boys of Louisburg College in intramural softball and football.

Now major interest has shifted to intramural football. The second floor plays the third floor. Commercial Group Organize Committees The Commential Club, under the guidance of Mrs. Schrul and Mr. Norberg, has had several meet ings, held primarily to organize committees and start to work on the home-coming program.

The committees are listed: decorating committee, chairman — Frances Hales, co-chairman — Dorothea Draughon; refreshment committee chairman — Frances Norman, co- chairman — Irene Hamlet; prop erty committee, chairman. The chairman of the decorat ing and refreshment committees and their co-workers have already started action in their respective departments by deciding on the color-scheme and type of decora tions, and what refreshments will be served at home-coming. As yet, the property committee has received no orders as to what they are to gather in the way of trees, arch-ways, and articles of that na ture. Baptist Students Are Entertained at Supper The Baptist students of Louis burg College were invited to a barbecue supper in the basement of the Baptist Church. They en joyed the supper a great deal. After supper, Mrs. Bailey said she wanted to know how many girls and boys had met; so she had each boy stand, and tell all the girls’ names he knew in the room. Jerry Williams won the prize, be cause he knew more names than anyone else. Also, they had a dance that everyone enjoyed. The Baptist students of Louisburg wish to thank the people of the Baptist Church for a wonderful supper. PHI THETA KAPPA OFFICERS The relief applicant was being questioned by a clerk. “Do you have any back house rent?” said the clerk, “Sir,” she replied with dignity, “we got inside plumbing;” The Gamma Upsilon Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Louisburg College has recently elected its of ficers for the college year, 1952-53. The candidates running for presi dent were J. P. Harris, Eugene Dickerson, and Paul Bunn. There were the only three members of the club remaining from last year; therefore, straws were drawn in order to fill the offices. J. P. Har ris was the one who drew the leading office as president of the scholastic club: Paul G. Bunn was most fortunate in becoming secre tary to one of his best and m.ost prominent friends, J. P.; Charles Eugene Dickerson came out with the money sacks, as he is treasurer of the club. I Mention of the student? who | were members last year is im- j portant in that their membership [ might induce a person to try for the top grades of the junior and senior class. Those members were: Bobby Deaver, president; Margaret Lee, secretary; Sidney R. Pierce; and, Mr. H. G. Thatch, Methodist minister at Gradnax, Virginia. Honorary members are Dr. Thom as Cicero Amick, Miss Mary Be thea, and Mi^s Ruth W. Merritt. Miss Elizabeth Johnson is advisor of the Phi Theta Kappa, and she is willing to cooperate with any of his problems. This year the club, open to both Liberal Arts and Commercial stu dents, will pick up new vitality with its new members that will be selected by grades and ability con nected with desire to learn. Place of Church (Continued from Page 1) church represents the moral nature of God. It would be interesting to esti mate the extent of the moral lead ership of the church in our com munity. Times have greatly chang ed since the days of the Middle Ages, when the church was liter ally the .center of the community. In every cathedral town the most conspicuous building was the great church of the bishop, and in thousands of smaller communities the church was the chief center of the landscape. All the people admired the church. It was theirs. They themselves or their ances tors had built it. It was often the one work of worthy architecture in the town. It contained the only good pictures or statues they had ever seen. Its ceremonial proces sions constituted all the dramatic pageantry of lives that often saw little of beauty. The only good music they heard came from the church organ or from the sweet voices of choir boys. Now days, there are picture galleries and concerts and plays and a multitude of organizations that take the place of the medieval church. Community chests are used to care for the charities that once belonged to the church. There is a wide variety of agencies for social service, from the Salvation Army to the Rotary Club. But if one examines these various or ganizations he will find that much, probably most, of their inspira tion and motive comes through the church and its influence. In some communities, the service clubs and charitable societies are largely made up of church members. In stead of working by themselves, the churches unite in these inter-de nominational agencies for the ser vice of men. If the kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdom of our Lord, the work of God’s church fs necessary. Never has a greater re sponsibility rested upon the church and never have the young people had a greater challenge. The youth of the church must prepare to lead the world into a new light. Does anyone fully realize what must be done in order to do this task intelligently and efficiently. Women are a good deal like mis siles, They can be classified as guided, unguided, and misguided..
