Have You Heard That Song,
7 Way Up In North Carolina 7 ?
By Hope Fox
"There's absolutely nothin' north
of Carolina that I ever wanta see-."
In the latter part of August a
fellow came up to me on the sun
ny Jersey beach way up in Yankee
land and said he had heard the
best commercial for North Caro
lina on the radio. I knew he meant
Hank Beebe and Orville Campbell's
tune, "Way Up in North Carolina."
Bunk Floats Out,
Frosh Down Hatch,
Cox Was on Fire!
When Hugh Downing, Fred Katz,
and Jimmy Leake opened the door
to Center Section the other Sun
day night after super, they met
Fred's bunk floating out on a
wave of water.
It seems that somebody forgot
to extinguish a freshman before
dumping him down the trash chute,
and the sprinkler system at the
top of the shaft went into action
when the Are began to make head
way. The principal water damage
was to 314, which adjoins the shaft,
314 being occupied by the afore
mentioned citizens.
Hero of the episode was Down
ing ,who dived under and turned
off the valve, thereby shutting off
the water. Unfortunately, the valve
also controls the water to the johns,
so Center section had to go back
to nature until Monday, when ser
vice was restored.
The disposal chutes have been
the source of some confusion to
the occupants of the building, who
have been mistaking them for (1)
laundry chutes, (2) incinerator
chutes, or (3) a place to heave.
The distinction is not considered
important unless the chute is used
for all three purposes at the same
time.

It is helping Carolina's popularity
rating but it is much better than
any commercial. In fact, it's great.
Hank and Orville gave us "All the
Way Choo-Choo" not so long ago,
and have added the "Dixie Polka"
since "Way Up" made its appear
ance. These two Chapel Hill boys
seem to have that "Tin Pan Alley"
knack that is so important in song
writing.
Campbell, UNC graduate and for
mer faculty member of WCUNC,
returned from the Navy to Chapel
Hill to organize the Colonial Press.
He likes to write songs but has
had no musical training, and so
he teamed up with Beebe, also a
graduate of UNC. They collaborate
very closely on both words and
music.
Beebe is now head of the depart
ment of music of West Town School,
West Town, Pa. He was director
of the Belltones for their record
ing of "Way Up," which, inciden
tally, has brought them and the
co-composers of the tune all kinds
of complements and recognition.
The Belltones are two gals and
three fellows of UNC who give
"Way Up" that "fresh vaudeville
appeal," as Billboard described
their rendition.
I think it is nice to know we
have such celebrities so close to
home. It is also kind of nice to
know that folks like this "li'l old
state" so well they have to sing
about it . . .
"Way up in North Carolina, up in
North Carolina
From the smokies to the sea,
If you're ever coming north as
far as Carolina
That's where we'll always be . .

NO, this isn't from a movie. It's

Mrs. Milner Excellent
At Perpetual Motion
By Darrel Peeler
If you feel mistreated and over
worked because you must spend six
hours a day studying, perhaps you
will feel better if I tell you about
a woman who does that much work
before breakfast —and enjoys it.
The chances are that you know
her, but if you are a sophomore,
you probably wish, temporarily,
that you had never met her.
The extraordinary person to
whom I refer is, naturally, Ernes
tine Cookson Milner, associate pro
fessor of Psychology. As woman
kind's answer to perpetual motion,
she has set a record that would
do ten women proud.
She graduated from Troy Pub
lic Schools, Troy, Ohio, where her
father was superintendent for 50
years. Her only brother, Forrest
E. Cookson, graduated from West
Point and is now commandant at
Clemson.
At Miami University, Oxford,
Ohio, she earned two degrees in
four years—A.B. and B.S. in Edu
cation—majoring in English and
History. She wrote for the school
paper, played in the orchestra, was
in what corresponds to our SCA
for three years, and was president
of the YWCA her senior year.
She was in dramatics, served on
the Student Council, and was a
member of Mortarboard, a national
student leadership society. She was
a member of Alpha chapter of Del
ta Zeta sorority, and earned both
a Phi Beta Kappa key and an ath
letic letter.
After graduation, she was YW
secretary (asistant to the dean of
women) and taught sixth and sev
enth grade History at McGuffey
Model School.
In 1919, she went to Ohio State
University, where she was YW sec
retary for four years. She became
interested in psychology, and in
1924 she became dean of women
and assistant professor of Phychol
ogy at Parsons College, Fairfield,
lowa, working in the summers on
advanced work in psychology at
Ohio State and Columbia. Her
special interest was—How to Study.
In 1926, she accepted the post
of dean of women at Earlham Col
lege in Richmond, Indiana, and
while there she met the dean of
men—one Clyde A. Milner by name.
Two years later, Clyde Milner
was granted a leave to study abroad.
His fiancee was to follow at the
end of the spring term.
So, in a simple Quaker ceremony
in Geneva, July 5, 1928, the Mil
ners were quietly married. That
was the beginning of a long, pro
ductive, and exentful partnership.
Mr. and Mrs. Milner came to
Guilford in 1930, Mr. (not yet Dr.)
Milner as professor of Philosophy
and dean of the college, and Mrs.
Milner as director of personnel.
Mrs. Milner began teaching His
tory, English, and Child Literature.
At that time there had been no
extensive work done on the core
curriculum except Dr. Binford's
work on Natural Science and some
work by Elton Trueblood on Phi
losophy 24. The then - Mr. Milner
wrote the syllabus for Philosophy
41-42, and the Milners together
wrote the Psychology 21 syllabus.
Mrs. Milner then wrote the Phi
losophy 24 syllabus and part of the
Sociology 20 syllabus, the pioneer
work in marriage and the family
(1933).
You would think that our female
Belvedere would have slowed down
by this time, but not so. She was
to do educational and vocational
guidance when she came to Guil
ford, but there was soon added
social guidance (Dean of Women),
and she carried that task until
1945, dropping the other two in
1946.
She began to lecture on marriage
and personal problems, first at the
University of Atlanta and Tuskee
gee, and then at Montreat, Louis
burg, and an incalculable number
of high schools. She also taught
psych, marriage, Child Literature
and Philosophy 24 continuously,
and in 1934 she taught Philosophy
41-42 while Dr. Milner was away
getting his Ph.D.
In 1931 she had become inter
ested in the American Association
Page Five
of University Women, and served
as head of the Greensboro chapter
1931-33. In 1933 she began a two
year stint as state president, and
she has just retired as social stud
ies chairman for the state. She is
past president of the Altrusa Clubs
of Greensboro, and is now first
vice-governor of the Second Dis
trict (seven states). She has also
served on the state executive com
mittee for mental hygiene and on
the Greensboro YWCA executive
board.
Right now, in addition to the
Altrusa post, she serves on the Girl
Scout board, the N. C. Council of
Churches, and the Weekday Relig
ious Education Committee. Between
times, she lectures sometimes four
times a week) for Altrusa, clubs,
and schools, and writes magazine
articles.
For relaxation, she entertains—
the more people, the better, and
she averages spending SSOO a year
out of her own salary for parties
and receptions.
And, somehow, she always has
time for student problems. Her of
fice in King Hall is a mecca for
those with problems—academic or
personal.
A favorite game of the sopho
more is to scare the freshmen by
describing the rigors of Psych 21,
but few freshmen go far into their
third semester without an admira
tion and a deep respect for a truly
remarkable women. The test of
their respect lies in the enrollment
figures for her classes—the second
semester of last year she taught
805 student-semester hours—more
than twice the normal load.
Why? Certainly not because we
have that many psych and educa
tion majors. In marriage, for in
stance, there were 65 people, 34
of them boys. It takes more than
a hearty laugh and limitless energy
to pull that many people into a
non-required class.
Veterans Reminded
Of Basic Rules
Veterans Administration wishes
to remind veterans training under
the GI Bill of some basic rules and
regulations that must be followed
in order to stay in training at Gov
ernment expense, now that the
July 25 cut-off date for starting
has passed.
The post-cut-off-date rulings ap
ply to most, but not all, veterans
now in training. Those few not
affected include veteran-trainees
who were discharged from service
less than four years ago, and whose
individual cut-off dates have not
yet arrived.
Here are VA "do's" and "don't's"
of post-cut-off-date training:
A veteran continuing his train
ing after the cut-off date must pur
sue his course continuously until
it is completed—except for inter
ruptions under conditions beyond
his control. Such allowable inter
ruptions include the normal sum
mer vacation, as well as recall to
active military service.
Once a veteran completes or dis
continues his course after the cut
off-date, he may not start another.
Satisfactory reasons for change
are these:
1. When a veteran is not mak
ing satisfactory progress in his pres
ent course and the failure is not
due to his own misconduct, neglect
or lack of application.
When the course to which he de
sires to change is more in keeping
with his aptitudes, previous edu
cation, training or other pertinent
factors.
3. When the course to which he
wants to change is a normal pro
gression from his current course,
and will help him attain his educa
tional or vocational objective.
No additional changes of course
will be approved, except for the
most cogent reasons, VA said.
VA explained that most veterans
not actually in training on the
July 25 cut-off date no longer are
eligible for the GI Bill training
benefit. But those who had en
rolled before the deadline may con
tinue until they complete their
courses or run out of GI entitle
ment. For the great majority of
veterans, the entire GI training
program winds up on July 25, 1956.
There is no such thing as a dan
gerous woman; there are only sus
ceptible men.
