(1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE IN THE
^ ^ ...
This week we had the pleasure of
making a tour at inspection of Western
Carolina Teachers College's new
building, along with Astistant Director
of the Budget Deyton.
Mr. Deyton carte by our office ?kS
ssked us to accompany him on the
I'rip, which included a delightful
dinner at the home of President H. I,
T. Hunter. The buildings are now J
. ^ wo pnmnleted. and Western I
TibOUl ^ _
Carolina will emerge as a real col-[J
]ege. Already bookings have been I!
made for all available space in the I
dormitories, including th$ new boys' | *
dormitory, and the college will be IS
unable to accommodate all the ap- IX
' plicants for rooms. , M
Mr. Deyton stated that the budget 1?
bureau is making available funds to 18
assure the college meeting all requirements
as an accredited college I
by both the South Association of 15
Colleges and the American Associa- I
tion of Teachers Colleges. However,
he is fearful that the closing of the* / ?
* Is
Ir.baccO' markets in pastern
Carolina by reason of the withdrawal
I of the British buyers because of the I
war, may have a* depressing effect |S
upon the revenues of the State. If I
the tobacco in eastern North Caro|
lina cannot be marketed at a reaI
sonaby good price, the lack of funds t
f amoung the people down there will
I bo reflected in the sales tax collec- .
I J]
| tions.
Q
I The new training school will b* T
I one of the most modern school build- .
( ir.gs in the State. It seems that it
would be a joy to either teach or | ^
attend school in such a building, that I
I has been designed and constructed J ^
I to anticipate every need and conven- I
I ier.ce of teachers and scholars. . L
The new auditorium, now - almost I
J completed, will seat a thousand peo- J5

The Student Union Building is'

The handsome, new boys' donni-.

is ready. Workmen are lajrn^ ?

As soon as the present building *
program is finished, which amounts *
to approximately as much as has
I been spent on the physical plant of 1
the school in all the previous fifty 1
years of its history, the Joyner (1
Building, which houses the admin- c
istrative offices, will be remodeled' (
and made more modern for college (
purposes. . ' 1

Washington, Sept 13^-President
Roosevcflt today called Congress into
extraordinary session, to convene on
September 21. -In his call the Presi.
dent merely stated that the public
welfare demanded the convening of
tiie Congress. However, it is understood
that the President will appear
before the law-makers, as soon
as they meet, and lay before them
his opinion as to the urgency of the
necessity of repeal.of the arms embargo
provisions of the neutrality
act., ; " ' . 1 "'
The President will insist that the
embargo should be repealed'in the) ?
interest of the walfare of the people
of the United States and as a step
toward assurance that this country
will be kept out of the great war
that is raging on two fronts in Europe
and upon the high seas everywhere.
Observers in Washington state that
it seems assured that the House will
have a majority of considerable size
supporting the President's proposal
of lifting the embargo and selling to
everybody who can come and get
supplies and pay for them. The
announcement of Senator Van Nuys
that he will support the President
appears to give Mr. Roosevelt a majority
in the Foreign Relations Committee
of the Senate. But, Senator
Borah is already in Washington forming
his lines to oppose the presidential
proposals. Borah, an isolationist of
the group Which took control- of for-^
eign realtions away froni^Pr esident
Wilson at the close of the
asserts that every inch of the >gouna * .
will be contested. With are
Nye and others. But, oft the^Repubheart
sidtei-cf" Taft
of Ohio has come out in support
of the President. 'v
It is believed that the President
and his forces will win the fight in
Congress over the embargo; but that
the fight will be a bitter one, which
svill rank with the most important
jf Congressional battles in the history
)1 America. , , I
It is reported reliably that the airtfane
factories are going ahead with
illing French orders . for various ,
>lanes, and that other factories are
filing up munitions in anticipation
>f Congressional action raising the
tmbargq.
- ? li.
The opponents or itooseveu .
hat they are glad that he has called
he extra session, as they are sure he
activities and discussions cannot
)? confined to the matte? that will be
>resented. Some of them frankly
tate that they want Congress to renain
in session to watch the Adninistration's
foreign policies.
General Pershing in a statement
lrged that the Army be brought to
ull peace time strength and efficiency,
in anticipation of any eventuality,
in order that there may be
10 danger of this country being again
caught in the state of utter unpreia
redness, as was the case in 1917.
In all events, the President must
lave considered the situation a grave
>ne, or he would have never sum- ,
noned the Congress back to Washngton,<
knowing the fierce attacks
hat Mr. Borah and others would
aunch against his administration
policies.
