How To Stay
In College
I. Bring the professor newspa
per clippings dealing with his sub
ject. Demonstrate fiery interest and
give him timely items to mention
to the class: If you can’t find clip
pings dealing with his subject, bring
in any clippings at random. He
thinks everything deals with his
subject.
II. Look alert. Take notes eagerly.
If you look at your watch don’t
stare at it unbelievingly and shake
III. Nod frequently and murmur,
“How true!” To you this seems ex--
aggerated. To him it is quite ob
jective!
IV. Sit in front, near him. (Ap
plies only if you intend to stay
awake). If you’re going to all the
trouble of making a good impres
sion, you might as well let him
know who you are, especially in a
large class.
V. Laugh at his jokes. You can tell.
If he looks up from his notes and
smiles expectantly, he has told a
joke.
VI. Ask for outstanding reading.
You don’t have to read it, just ask.
VII. If you must sleep, arrange to
be called at the end of the hour.
It creates an unfavorable impres
sion if the rest of the class has left
and you sit there alone, dozing.
VIII. Be sure the book you read
during the lecture looks like the
book from the course. If you do
math in psychology class and psy
chology in math class, match the
IX. Ask any questions you think
he can answer. Conversely avoid
announcing that you have found the
answer to a question he couldn’t
answer and in your younger bro
ther’s second grade reader at that.
X. Call attention to his writing.
This produces an exquisitely pleas
ant experience connected with you.
If you know he’s written a book
or an article, ask in class if he wrote
As to whether or not you want
to do some work in addition to this,
well, it’s controversial and up to the
individual.

Rats - Rats - Rats
Rats! Rats! Yo whoo! These were
the loud sounding words echoing
up and down the hall ways of Deck
er Hall, bouncing into every fresh
man’s ears, at four o’clock Monday
morning.
It was rat day, the day every rat
was supposed to come out of his
hole, and get polished and shined
for the first time in his shortlife.
His life is really a stinking life. This
statement is true by the wonderful
scent following everp rat all day.
This brings forth that every rat is
a “stinker.”
The sophomores, overgrown rats,
had the day. They were wanting
revenge from last year. At 4 o’clock
they woke us up, polished our faces
with rat paint, and greased our hair
with several kinds of oils. We had
to put our clothes on backwards, in
side out, and different kind of socks
feet and on our hands.
Baptist Highlights
By Martha Stone
As far as North Carolina Baptist are concerned, Novem
ber will be a busy month. Such important meetings as the
State Convention and Baptist Student Union Convention are
being anticipated by members of this denomination; the later
of which is of special interest to our student group. It is of
special note that our college a cappella choir is scheduled
for both conventions, and Bobby
soloist for the
Heffner will be
B. S. U. Convention. We are proud
to have our school represented in
such a splendid manner.
The B. S. U. department of our
state announced the addition of
Miss Reve Stewart to their staff. Her
primary work is to promote B. S. U.
business colleges
Beginning with this issue of the
“Pilot”, a continued article entitled
■‘Who are the Baptist?” will appear
in this column. The following is
the beginning of this series.
We w
d up in
Hall and did a few calisthenics.
Then we marched over to the girl’s
dorm and woke them up. While
waiting, we received a lot of exer
cise. We had to do everything a
sophomore told us to do. Push-ups
and side stradle hops were the most
famous causing many sore rats on
Finally after a few serenading
numbers the “She rats” came out.
Boy did they look like rats. Wow!
Each rat was given a partner, then
the march was on. Waking up the
teachers was the main point and
doing what the sophomores said was
another.
After all the teachers were up we
came back to our dorms. Being a
servant to the sophomores, we clean
ed up their rooms, polished their
shoes, and a few other odd things.
Breakfast time was a main event.
We had to eat with knives, carry
trays for the sophs, and get any
food they wanted. Next thing was
classes. It was quite a bit of fun
to interrupt classes and lectures.
The faculty were fine by not letting
it upset them.
Dinner time ,we had to eat again,
with knives and be waiters for the
sophs. Then after dinner we were
allowed to take off the paint. By
Monday night the water supply of
Boiling Springs was down quite a

primitive Christianity on their own

fant baptism as being unscriptural
and insisted on faith baptism. Be
cause they baptized those who had
already been sprinkled, they were
called “Anabaptist,,’ which meant
“Rebaptizers.” The name was given
to them in derision by their op
ponents. After a while the pre

were known as “Baptists.” _.ext
