How To Treat a Cold
This is the time of year that most
of us are beset with that terrible
(|,jng_a cold. But the most exasper
ating thing is that we almost always
don’t know what to do for its treat-
inent.
Treatment should be begun at the
very first indication of a cold. What
this should properly consist of de
pends in some degree upon the way
the coH was contracted. For a cold
taken by getting the feet wet and
chilled, the best measure is an im
mediate hot foot bath. The cold was
contracted through the feet, so it
should be driven out through the
feet. If the cold is the result of gen
eral exposure or due to contagion, the
first step should be to cleanse the
system, Next, a hot sweating bath of
some kind should be taken. Let the
patient sip water or lemonade as hot
as can be borne during the course of
his treatment. (The bath should be
continued until a good perspiration
is secured, and conluded by a vig
orous cold rubbing to produce a good
reaction. This relieves the internal
content. Then patient should go to
bad for twenty-four hours.)
It is well to drink as much water
‘ as possible. A gallon in the twenty-
four hours is not too much. With a
cold there is suppresion of excretions,
so the necesary thing is to get the eli-
m.native processes working as active
ly as possible and rid the body of the
poisons which are accumulating.
It is important to keep the food in
take low for a few days. Fruit juices
may well form the entire diet for a
day or two. Foods rich in protein
should be excluded from the dietary.
Cereal and vegetable foods may be
added gradually until the cure is
complete.

officials interpreted the problem this
"’■'y: ‘A problem faced by the State
IS how to develop its personnel so
that they will meet the increasing
lifmands of the State for efficient,
effective and economical services.
A step toward solving this problem
involves the development of new
Methods of recruiting and training.

fhe recruitment of new personnel of
»hility immediately upon graduation
from college and is attempting to
provide greater educational facilities

*>rable by personnel executives of

Alumni Notes
The Executive Board of the Gene
ral Alumni Association met in the
Alumni Lounge on January 12 to
complete plans for the school year.
There were interesting discussions on
“College Athletics”, “The National
Alumni Meeting” and “Revitalizing
Alumni Objectives”.
The National Alumni Association
will bold its annual meeting at the
Elizabeth City State Teachers College
on April 18-19. Representatives from
Negro Colleges all over the United

WOMEN’S GLEE CLUB EXCELS
The Women’s Gliee Club is an ex
cellent organization for young women
who are not members of the Choir.
By being in this group students are
able to cultivate their voices so that
they may become members of the
College Choir. Those who have not
studied music learn more of it. Others
have the satisfaction that comes from
belonging to a musical group.
The members of the Women’s Glee
Club sing well. Some day they will
be the outstanding organization of
which the College will be proud.

My Ambition
Other people have had several am
bitions for me, none of which I prefer,
for I have chosen that of a teacher.
The teacher I wish to become is one
who is instinctively-loved and admired
by the entire student body, one who
posessesses such characteristics as a
personal interest and kindly considera
tion for all of students—a pleasant
voice, tact, poise aliveness and cour
teous manners. In order for me to ac
quire these qualities, I should set up
certain standards for each day. First,
I should carry myself in such a way
as to gain the respect and admiration
of my friends and other students, as
well as members of the faculty. Sec
ondly I should take an active part in
extra-curricular activities in order to
prove my ability to become a good
and capable teacher. Thirdly, I should
try to make myself available to help
those who are in need. And one day
when my name is placed on a sche
dule card, the student will immediate
ly have the assured feeling of enjoy
ing my particular class.

Ears About The Campus
It seems as if the freshmen have
taken the interest of the campus —
for instance —
What do you think about a certain
“baby face” freshman from Norfolk
hitching a cute little nonchalant jun
ior R. B. for a steady? She seems to
just marvel at his center position on
the basketball team!
Uncle Sam has claimed our well-
known backfield star, but it seems as
if one of “Miss Home-Coming’s At
tendants” hasn’t forgotten him. I no
ticed a piece of jewelry around her
neck recently.
It seems as if a well-known “Play
boy” from Covington, Virginia, has
settled down. Is it for good, or is it
until the Spring Quarter?
Just a reminder to a certain helper
in the dining hall. I understand that
you are on the “J.V.” team and you
work, but I believe that you had bet
ter start putting in some canteen
hours or you might lose your junior.
A stocky junior from Goldsboro has
taken cjuite a fancy to a young fresh
man from South Mills. Will it stick or
is it just a passing fancy?
Just a note to one of our autstand-
ing seniors: Is H.P. one of the many
to idle your time away until you
leave next quarter, or is he a special?
A cute little cheerleader from Ports
mouth seems to act quite settled now
since her “beau” has been doing his
P.T. Is it that they have marital prob
lems on their minds?
Have you noticed a change in a
certain junior boy from South Mills
since his “cute little fancy” returned
to Greenville as “Mrs. Bell”?
I feel quite honored to render crn-
gratulations to two seniors upon re
ceiving engagement rings.
A petite sophomore wasn’t “Homi--
coming Queen”, but she’s quite sat
isfied at being “Uddie’s” queen.
Right, huh, Uddie?
“Snow” doesn’t seem to adhere to
the teritory around Symera hall now.
Is it certain that a certain senior is
preserving “Snow” in cold storage un
til spring? I’ll see.
Did you know that “Lil Fuzzy” and
“Teena” are very thick? Well, they
are.
A certain “Scottie” from Ports
mouth seems to have put quite a bit
of sparkle in Dot’s eyes. Have you
noticed? Quite interesting, isn’t it?
I’m certainly glad that “Hales”
seems to be pleasing “Nits” this sea
son. Maybe its love, but its rather cold
to me.
Since “Spud” has become a junior,
he thought it was best to change dor
mitories and move on up a little high
er also. Right?
So long until next month.
Johnny handed the following note
from his mother to the teacher one
morning;
Dere Teacher: You keep tellin’ my
boy to breathe with his diafram. May
be rich children has got diaframs, but
how about when there father only
make one dollar and fifty cents a day
and has got five children to keep?
First, its one thing, then its another,
and now its diaframs. That’s the worst
yet.
