Whether or not you realize it, YOU may be one who is being observed by some emplo'yer with an eye on the future. In this case your everyday activities, both play and work, will come under the careful watching of scrutinizing eyes. Considering all of this, what can you do, individually, to make yourself more desirable as an employee? Above all traits, the average employer values dependability. Brilliance in a particular field, a pleasing personality, striking individuality—all of these are important but are to no avail if one can not be depended upon for the simplest of chores. The trait of dependability should be especially built up while the individual is in college. Many present day col lege students are prone to become so absorbed in several activities that no one organization or individual can rely upon them. The next step after this is complete lack of dependability and reliability in everything. Why not sit down for a moment and check up on your self? Can others depend on you? Can they rely on you to keep your word and promises? If not, what are you going to do about it? Spring Is Here; Keep Crnnpns Clean “The rain is raining all around; It falls on fields and tree. If students would stay off the grass There’d be some grass to see. Like guards before the old South Steps A line of trash cans stood. And signs are there to point them out. But signs don’t do no good.” DailyTar Heel Spring is coming out in all her freshness and beauty, but nature can’t do everything by herself. Much work has been done on MHC campus and work is still being done to make this campus one of the more beautiful in the state, but some of the students don’t seem to appreciate the work either of nature or of the admin istration. There are those students who mercilessly and unconcernedly trample across the new green grass, which after a few weeks will die and turn an ugly brown, and there are other students who thoughtlessly unwrap a candy bar or clean out their notebooks on the campus, leaving it soiled and untidy. It would be a very simple matter to walk on the walks which have been placed on the campus for such purposes and to wait until one gets to one of the conveniently located trash cans be fore throwing away his trash. Our campus reflects to visitors the kind of students we are; so let’s try to re member to keep it clean and beautiful. DR. RyCKWELL RECUPER4TIIIIG Students, faculty and staff regret that our Presi dent has been confined to the hospital. All rejoice at the improvement in his health and anticipate his early return to the campus. Sell Conscious f Others Are, Too As she walked toward the cafeteria door, each forward step brought her two steps farther from it. The more she walked, the farther away the door was. What caused this phenomenon? Her number one S. P. was watching her from a nearby table she knew, and she was certain that her hair was drooping! The boy made his speech with calm voice and perfect expression. It seemed that his oration had captured the ears of his audience and held them spellbound. Suddenly he blushed, stammered, gulped, and stopped. He couldn’t find the rest of his notes. Probably everyone has been in a situation equally as embarrassing as that of the above persons, and probably he felt the same horrible way. Self-consciousness is a dis ease that nearly all of us have—a disease that comes to the surface at the wrong times and the wrong places. Have you heard about the bashful little C-I who decided that he was going to be brave and act as if he’d been in college for years? He courageously marched into the student center and immediately slipped on the newly waxed floor. The disease of self consciousness began to show itself. The boy’s face turned a bright red, but he decided that he would carry on. However, it was too late; self consciousness won out and the next thing the boy did was knock a chair over in his attempt at being at ease. Amid the laughs of his fellow students, he felt the room grow to immense proportions. The floors all slanted in his direction. Leering faces were on all sides of him, and a roar in his ears finally dulled his senses. With a scream of terror he rushed from the scene. Of course this is an extreme case, but we all have mild cases. Perhaps students in Mr. DeShazo’s speech classes know of this disease more than others. Take Moe for example. He wanted so very much to be a good speaker; so he did what he thought best and signed up for a speech class. The first speech is always the worst. The eyes of the room were upon him; he couldn’t tell whether they were with him or against him. In his attempt at remem bering to enunciate clearly, to pronounce words correct ly, to use good diction, to speak slowly, and not to say ”uh”, he forgot what his speech was about. He saw the faces in the room grow large, and he felt his own turning a deep red. One face, that of the girl he’d been trying to impress with his manliness, stood out from all the others. He realized that everything was hopeless, but as he stood there the words of his speech suddenly came back to him, and as he began to talk, his disease left him for a while. You can think of dozens of times when this unwelcome disease has crept into your life and taken hold of your very being. Try to remember, though, the next time you feel it coming on, that everyone around has the same disease; you aren’t the only one. You’ll be surprised how that thought will bolster your morale. Students Find Sew Librnry Bright, Good For Studing When students came back after spring holidays, they found the new reserve library in Spilman waiting for their use. The reading room, spacious and pleasantly lighted with fluorescent facilities, is conducive to quiet and meditative study. In contrast to the main library, ample table space is provided for 110 persons. Besides housing most of the reserve books, the long collection of religious books and books formerly stored in Stroup attic are found here. Current magazines and newspapers, as well as older magazines, are conveniently placed. Lists of approved reading are on the ends of the periodical racks. Also, a list of the best articles, chosen by the librarians, is posted. Reading and reserve lists are on the bulletin board. Cur rent publications of numerous high schools and other junior and senior colleges are also available for student reading. ^ The full time assistant is Mrs. Emmett Sams, who is aided by Mrs. Walker Ford. Students assist in this work, also. Impromptu Are you discouraged? Lovesick? Does your S. P. hav« “Impossible” for a middle name?
