Febi-uary-March, 1958 T HE PILOT Page Four PILOT SALUTE JJina Scruggs Hellod This Is a familiar greeting coming- from the lips of our Pilot Salute. Nina Scruggs. Her warm smile and friendly personality have frightened G. W. campus greatly. Nina, a sophomore boarding stu dent, comes from Gaffney, S. C. She is studying liberal arts with her major in music. She has proven to be very active in the various organizations and clubs. Since she is music chairman , of the Baptist Student Union, she provides music for all occasions by introducing new talent from the student body, and encouraging oth ers to take a deeper interest in the Everyone enjoys hearing Nina’s dramatic soprano vo^ce along with her excellent playing of the piano. A person would think that with all this talent and acticvity Nina would be falling down in her studies. But this could never be true with the good average she keeps. Even the extra work in the cafe teria never worries Nina. She isn’t “happy-go-liftky" just HAPPY and trying her best to make. Others en joy life. WUson. Doug is a sophomore boarding student from Kings Mountain, who has shown an amazing ability to succeed in everything he under- He is the envy of quite a few stu dents because of his power to ac quire so much knowledge with so lit tle difficulty. He is particularly adept in the field of science and chemistry. Doug has made a big hit with the boys, particularly those of HAPY Dorm, where he is president. They praise him by saying that he’s the best president they could have chosen. He was recently elected as the senior superlative “most intellec tual,” which is indeed an honor for a student. There is little doubt that Doug will have any trouble when he goes to Clemson next school year to fol low up his ambitions. Want To Remain In School? Here's How Following are 10 suggestions from Robert Tyson, of the Hunter College (New York) department of psychol ogy and philosophy, op how to stay in college; 1. Bring the professor newspaper clippings dealing with his subject. Demonstrates feeling interest and gives him timel items to mention in class. If you can’t find clipipngs dealing with his subject, bring in any clippings at random. lie thinks everything deals with his subject. 2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly. If you look at your watch, don’t stare at it unbelieving and shake it. 3. Nod frequently and murmur, “How true!” To you this seems ex aggerated; to him, it’s quite objec tive. 4. Sit in front, near him (applies only if you intend to stay awake.) If you’re going to all the trouble of making a good impression, you might as well let him know who you are, especially in a large class. THE JOCKEY SLIPS A DISC By Ronald Williams tell.

Laugh at his jokes. You If he looks up from his notes and smiles expectantly, he has told: a joke. 6. Ask for outside reading. You don’t have to read it. Just ask. 7. If you must sleep, arrange to be called at the end of the hour. It creates an unfavorable impression if the rest of the class has left and you sit there alone, dozing. 8. Be sure the book you read dur ing the lecture looks like a book from the course. If you do math in psychology class and psychology in math class, match books for size and color. 9. Ask any questions you think he can answer. Conversely, avoid an nouncing that you have found the answer to a question he could not answer, and in your brother’s sec ond grade reader at that. 10. Call attention to his writing. Produces an exquisitely pleasant ex perience connected with you. If you know he’s written a book or an ar ticle, ask in class if he wrote it. As to whether or not you want to do some work in addition to all this, well it’s controversial and up to the individual. STAYS FRESH 3 DAYS LONGER “GOING STEADY” (Continued from page 3) gether becomes a habit more by ac cident than by affection. Of course such dating is not a good basis for going steady. Steady dating limits a person’s chances for meeting other interest ing boys and girls. One is likely to have a better developed personality and a greater understanding of peo ple if he has had the experience of dating more than one person. And how long does “going steady” last? Some couples find going steady isn’t as much fun as they had anticipat ed. At any rate it may be the part ot wisdom to have an understanding that “going steady” may be for any length of time, aoupi plan group. Then they will have me op portunity to find out if there are others among their friends whom they would like to know better. One thing is sure-^the world is full of wonderful Christian people. Don’t of them. FOR AND ABOUT THE STUDENTS By Sandra Champion Since exams are over and a new semester is beginning, everything is almost normal. There are a few changes that are all in a life’s pro cess. Some go; others come — it’s all within our life. We will surely miss Pork Williams, Dillard Mor row, Pat Alsbrooks, Dora Arme Har- rUl, Jackie Reavis, Kay Hartsfield, Walter Pope, KeUy Kee, Robert Web and many others. However we have gained a few students. Some of these new students are Joan Robert son, Fred Francum, Michael Good man, Curtis LeNeave, Donald My ers, Fred Reed, James Reynolds, Belton Stevens, Dottle Coleman, Jack Stroud, Dan Wilson, and a few of the returning students from last year are David Hamby, Franklin Wright, and Carolyn McWhirter. Our faculty has also been,making news since last issue. We wish to extend our best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Forest Teague (Miss McSwain). Hats off to Deidre Sibornne Flynn, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Robert Flynn and to Edward Seth Wash burn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Seth Washburn, and congratulations to the proud parents. As to what Miss McGee got for Christmas, the students are still waiting to find out. With term paper topics already asigned (oh, me), I suppose I have goofed off enough for awhile. See you next issue. Cherrloll Hi, kids. This Is three speed Steve, the teen-ager’s deejay,, reminding you again that radio is bigger than ever . . . I’ve got my Crew Cut Simonlzed, all ready to spin the 8’f top tunes from our survey of piano- roll and the songs you’ve requqested from organ-grinders across the country. But first a public service remind er. Fight forest fires three ways with a hose, with a shovel, or spit on it. Now back to the music, as soon as I catch that phone, probably an other record request pouring in. Hello . . . you say the baking class at Elvis Presley High School wants to hear “I’ve got Rocks in my Rolls over you?” . . . Coming right up, after a word from Gray Flannel Fla nagan, where you get that ultra- Ivy league look, no shoulders, no hips, jus^ three buttons and a label . . . Remember you can’t beat Gray Flannel Flanagan’s low, low over head—three floors under the base ment, Walk downstairs and save the elevator. Now back to the music, but first the correct time, if my watch hasn’t stopped . . . It’s exactly—well, in Just seveenteen seconds it will be 24 minutes past—rather in 24 sec onds it will be 17 minutes before — That is—But say, it’s time for the latest edition of brief, brief, brief world news. Let’s have a look at to day’s headlines, as soon as I find the morning paper. Oh, yes. By golly! There’s big news of the world today from Washington, London, Paris, Moscow, and Boiling Springs, and that concludes the brief, brief, brief world news. Now back to the music, and another public-service reminder ... Are you young, alert, looking for a real Career? If you got a good head, and four good legs, the U. S. Cavalry needs YOU .... Time for another word from Gray Flannel Flanagen. He’s got walking shorts, running shorts, or shorts to dream in. The perfect gift for the man who has nothing. Fellows, how about a pair of walk shorts with subtle red, white, and blue stripes, suavely setting off a jacket, with a sfiawl collar—or just a shawl, if you prefer? It’s the perfect duo for the informal' evening af the corner shop, or lying casually in the swimming pool. Another public service announce ment . . Cut accidents on the road. Drive on the sidewalk, and kill the pedestrians, and remember,, you and only you can wipe out osmosis. Time for more music, and now it’s a side from a minor record company called Minor Record Co. Their new est pre-release—In fact, it’s kind of a pre- pre release. Actually they haven’t recorded it yet, but I can hum it for you. Now another public service wea ther forecast . . . considerable ob scurity at night, lessening in the early morning, with good visibility by mid-day. Possible rain or shine in the afternoon, today’s high: .15,473 ' feet. h that 0 way this brings us up to our next record by the latest in Crewcuts vocal groups. That’s a barber shop quartet that stayed in the barber shop too long. They’re the bunch of the whole country is silent about . . . The Four Flushers . . . This Is from their new album, “Music to Drag^race by,” and we’ll slip it on the. turntable 'right now . . . Yes sir,'that little old turntable is around her some where ... no, not in this cabinet, not under the. couch, or in the microphones. Hummmm, I thought sure we had a turntable in this studio . . . well, maybe next time . . . That’s all the time for today cats and kittens, and catastrophles. Dig us toniorrow for another hit platter show, and remember Radio is bigger Absent-minded Professor Not so absent-minded when you get right down to it. He remembered the most important item—the Coke! Yes, people will forgive you almost anything if you just remember to bring along their favorite sparkling drink—ice-cold Cota-Cola. Do have another, professor!
