In a final check up on the budget, we find that the staff will be able to pay part of last year’s debt with the excess funds, that is—if the students and student clubs meet their obligations,” said business manager Joe Ci-umpler of the annual staff today. The editor of the book, Ernest Symms, remai'ked also today: “Edi torially, the LAUREL has proven it self a success. The book is to be truly a representation of the classes of the campus, if the individual stu dents co-operate as they have. Only bear with us these last few days.” According to the editor, the 1935 LAUREL will be done in two colors with color border running throughout the book. An entirely new design is being used for borders, an idea which is being employed for the second time in the United States. The cover will be very modernistic and will also be done in two colors. The sponsors for the various sec tions of the annual along with other sponsors for the school will be: Ern est Symms, editor of LAUREL, sponsors Virginia Maugans; Joe Grumpier, busines manager of an nual, sponsors Beulah Pruett; Lionel Hoffman, editor of HILLTOP, spon sors Jisselle Cochrane; R- G. Anth ony, business manager of HILLTOP, sponsors Doris Johnson; Earnest Dudley, president of C-II class, spon sors Eleanor Martin; John R. Pow’- ell, president of C-I class, sponsoi's Elsie Baker. “Advertisements which will bring ■X- in more actual cash than was brought in last year have already been sold and we have bright prospects for selling quite a bit more space. We have sold $200.00 worth of ads al ready, which is about $15.00 more than was sold last year,” says Loris Dover, advertising manager of the 1935 edition of the LAUREL. There will be more than twenty gr^o.ups placed in the book, these be ing made up of honor clubs, socie ties, councils, athletic teams, -musical organizations, and other miscellafb- eous gi-oups.

I.R.C. Delegates Attend Meeting At Davidson Noted Economic And Political Leaders Address Representa tives Of 65 Colleges Two Chapel Speakers Bring Messages DFs. Johnson And Warren Speak To Students During February Debating Teams Take Honors Mars Hill college’s debating teams during the last two week-ends have scored six wins^out of eight encount ers with Textile Institute and Wof ford college of South Carolina, and Hiawassee of Tennessee. The question for the debates, was, “Resolved, that the nations should agree, to prevent the international shipment of arms and munitions.” This is the national collegiate query and is now being debated by colleges and universities throughout the na tion. In the debates with Hiawassee, the following students took part: Edna Jobe and Georgia Ingle, James Randleman and Raymond Midkiff, Judith Eller and Mary Simmons, and Tracy Church and Bob Costner. All these teams won decisions except Eller and Simmons. In the encount ers with Textile and Wofford, Bob Costner and Tracy Church presented the arguments of the affirmative, while Lionel Hoffman and Clay Hemric upheld the contentions of the negative. Mars Hill won all decisions except the negative with Textile. The teams are coached by Profes sor J. B. Huff, and are making an unusual record this season. Dr. Walter N. Johnson, of Mars Hill, and a member of the non-active faculty of Mars Hill College, on February 26 and 27, brought two stirring messages to the students of that institution during their regular chapel pei'iods. He also taught a course in Stewardship during his short sojourn upon the campus. Dr. Johnson perhaps has spent more time in the study of steward ship than any other living person and was introducded by President Moore as the man who knew “more about stewardship than any one else.” In his messages, Dr. Johnson show ed that in the future the religious battles would center around the Gulf of Mexico and the country of Russia. He also stated that these locations are Baptist strongholds and pled with the students that they use their influence to help unite Baptist action with those who are carrying on the work in these two places. “Hqwever,” said the speaker, “when we become institutionalized, w’e lose Dur strength.” Di*. James T. Warren, president of Carson-Newman college, on Monday, February 25, addressed the assemb led student body ^oi Mars Hill col lege at the regular chapel period, speaking with his unusual question and self-answer method which has proved so effective. Opening his address with the state- men that to be a student means for one to have a real zeal for leai’ning. Dr. Warren reiterated that “Too much emphasis is placed upon prep aration for a vocation in education and too little placed upon the really important^ cultural values of a mod ern ‘education.” He gave the other objectives of modern education as being: Learning how to become a better member of a social group or learning how to live with one’s fel low man, learning how to become a better citizen, learning how to live up to capacity all of the time, and to develop an integrity within one’s self meaning “all there.” Mars Hill College was represented by five from the International Re lations Club and by Dean I. N. Carr at the Southeastern International Re lations Conference held at Davidson College, Davidson, N. C., on February 21-23. More than 175 delegates from 65 colleges and universities in the South were in attendance. The topic of the present world economic and political situation along with the work of the League of Nations and he munitions industry was discussed. The Mars Hill I. R. G., was repre- -,ented at the Conference by the for mer president. Iris Rabb, the vice- president, Marie Young, and Jimmy 'eid, Brownlow Hastings and Clay Hemric. All are members of the sen ior class. The delegates were welcomed by Dr. J. M. McConnell, Davidson pro fessor, and Charles Lucas of David son at the opening session. Miss Hubbard of the Carnegie Foundation rlso gave a brief review of the pur pose and aim of the Foundation for International Relations groups and similar organizations. Among the other noted speakers of the conference was Alan Jenkins of the Asheville School for Boys, who discussed the economic situation of Japan. Another interesting topic was discussed by Dr. T. W. Lingle of Davidson who - set forth some inter sting facts concerning the problems of Central Europe. Dr. K. C. Frazier of the University of North Carolina discussed the League of Nations, in which he stressed the importance of American participation for the usefulness and effectiveness of the organization. Dr. Otto Nathan, German political adviser and economist at Princeton Univer sity, addressed the conference on “Problems of World Recovery.” The subject discussed on Satur day morning was: “Should Munitions Industry Remain in Private Hands or in Control of the Government?”, Students were urged to take a def inite stand on important issues.and to seek offices after graduation from school. The place for meeting next year was not definitely decided on by the conference. It was left for further consideration. Mars Hill Will Send Delegates To Meeting At WC.T.C.

Miss Johnson, the librarian, shows that around 315 students use the files or some other part of the li brary daily. Around 125 volumes are removed by the students from day to day, of which about 65 or 75 are reserves for the various courses upon the campus. It is noticeable that the number of reserved books for the dif ferent studies varies, but that the number of Bible reserves outnumber all others in this daily record of re movals. In the periodical section the mag azines that are required by the Eng lish courses outrank all others which are used. Collier’s seems to be the most popular otherwise, being run a close second by The Saturday Eve ning Post or the Literary Digest. With the high school students The American Boy seems to have the top rank in popularity. Miss Johnson is supported in her work by eleven student assistants. The Breaking Of The Calm’ Is To Be Presented By Dramatic Club After a series of preliminary try outs twelve members of the Dra matic club have been retained to be cast later in two units for “The Breaking of the Calm,” production play to be entered this year in the Drama Festival that will be held at the University of North Carolina, during April. Director Bonnie Wengert of the College Fine Arts department is coaching the two casts prior to the final selections which are being held this week. Professional theatrical personages will act as judges at this time. Those who are trying for the parts in the play are: Kathryn Hollowell, Doris Johnson, Edgar Kirk, Miller Lindsay, Hubert Elliott, Eddie Lib erman, H. L. Hart, William Hill, Brownlow Hastings, Neil Hartley and Howard Richardson. High Scorer! James Murrell, crafty forward on the record breaking ’35 varsity bas ketball team, scored over 300 points during the season. Murrell is regis tered in the academy.
