- THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN mi WESTERN CAROLINIAN c I LLoUflti mi CAMPUS WEARABLES A semi-monthly publication ol the Student Association of Western Carolina Teachers College in Cullowhee, North Carolina. STAFF Associate Editors Sports Editors John Wikle Paul Sutton John Crawford Jack Dillard Johnny Wilson Al Williams Society Editors Helen Hartshorn Alma Jackson Fashions Editor Ruth Coggins Columnists Harry Goldachlag Marcellus Buchanan III Typists Elsie Perry Dorothy Gahagan Faculty Adviser Mabel Tyree Business Adviser Ruth Oliver Hinds Circulation Manager Walter Roberts Business Manager Johnny Wilson "explanation It is regrettable that the unfortunate incident which occurred in chapel recently, concerning this paper, happened. It was embarrassing to all parties concerned. It has been the policy of the Journalism Club, and has become a tradition, not to allow freshmen to hold the position of editor of this paper. Such, we have on good authofity, was in the club constitution, which has been lost. But, there is no stipulation in the Student Handbook t.o that effect. Tradition is a powerful thing, but still the regulation isn't down on paper. If tradition will not hold up, then there is nothing to do but to let it go down. A new constitution for this organization is being drawn up, and rest assured that nn sucli ..lisunder standing will arise again. DISSATISFACTION There continues to be noticeah le on the campus a restless, suspicious atmosphere. A stir of political bickering and bitterness has grown up this year, such as has never been known before. Many seniors are saying that they do not regret graduating half as much as they otherwise would, because of unpleasant incidents this year, and continued back-biting. Former friends are now enemies. What is at the bottom of all this? This campus is just about small enough to allow all the pettiness of its citizens to come to the surface if it is allowed to do so. If such turmoil continues, student government will become useless and high school graduates will find it difficult to understand why they should come here. We suggest that those in high authority use their powers to arrive at the bottom of this situation, for the good of all concerned. MRS. HINDS There are some offices in the Joyner Building before which students tremble and shake a little before they enter. It would seem that the one they would most fear is the place where they are separated from their money but such is not the case. No student in this college minds going into the bursar's office. Mrs. Hinds is consistently such a considerate person. She understands the money problems of students, and gives every student every chance possible to stay in school. Mrs. Hinds is noted for her kindness and putting students at ease. If there is any way to meet a financial problem, she will help a student meet it with all the tact possible. Such a person is appreciated by everyone, great and small. Lesson Plan For Balmy Spring Night I. Aims A. General: To show the importance of love in the life of a practice teacher. B.

Maybe we c^n take a few tips from Mothei Nature on how to dress tlie^e sunshiny days. At least, several of the girls are keeping the back terrace Inhabited while they bask in the sun, and for those who can tan well there are loads of cute costumes. White, especially, goes nicely with a lovely golden tan, ai well as blue, green, and most Of the pastel shades. Don't get too black, but stay out just long enough to be able to look like a bathing beauty even in an evening dress. Remember that the Junior- Senior and May Day dances are in the offing, and that it's about time to get that summer evening dress out for these gala events. If you're planning on a new dress for one of these dances, here are a few ideas about choosing something to make the stag-line hold Its breath. Pique is grand this season—either in plain colors, white, or flowered. Two tones are especially chic, so you can combine a plain bodice and a flowered, striped, or plain skirt in contrasting colors and be the height of fashion. Some other attractive combinations can be found n combinations can be found in organdy or pique, lace, and net. If you're only getting one new dress, it would be wise t0 select a style „hal won o uc too nouceaoie on the dance floor, and won't be easily recognized as the same dress you've worn to the last three affairs. Charming dresses 'hat can be worn again and ,ain are lovely in lace, marquisettes and mousseline de soie. And, of course, a very practical frock is one with a jacket, so If you are invited to a formal dinner or buffet supper before a dance, or if you attend concerts or entertainments that aren't too ultra-formal you will be cor- recty dressed. Although Easter is usually considered the opening of the season for spring and summer clothes, white is not usually worn as a whole costume until about the first, or even the middle of May—but, of course, that depends upon the location and the weather! ~Since the swimming season will open soon, many of us may be planning to buy a bathing suit, and this is just another hint—unless you have a chorus girl figure and some ritzy resort to patronize, choose a suit that will be suitable to your figure and at the same time acceptable at 'nost pools. Sarongs may look swell on Dorothy La- mour—but will they look good on you? Very rttractive suits can still be mace all in one piece, and there's always the danger that a rubber or glass suit may melt in the sun or come to pieces in the water and a strapless suit may cause a lot of embarrassment too. Gosh, all this talk of swimming makes me long for the ole' swimmin' hole—and by the way—if you're planning to get a lot of new clothes for a trip to the beach or a honeymoon— we'll try to mention a few darling duds for these purposes next time. G' bye! OBSERVATIONS FROM OBSERVATORY HILL HATS OFF TO MELODY J TREE-CUTTING Sawing away, Bill Justus, of Hendersonville, may be seen swinging in the tree tops on the campus. At first it was a mystery what Bill was doing with ropes and a saw. One of the girls from Robertson Hall thought Bill was making swings. When the sun shines one can hear Bill before he sees him, as he swings first from one side to the other of the tree. His helper, Louis Hesterly, works on the ground piling the limbs that are cut off. Bill attracts a lot of attention. He is asked a number of questions about his work and the meaning of all this industry. He has even oiiered to let several girls swing, but they refuse. The Tree pruning program is one of the most valuable campus projects undertal The colles .nation is Tennis Foolishness What's this I hear? Surely no one is foolish enough to get up before daybreak just to don a pair of shorts and shirt and march all the way to Robertson Hall. It's true, though. Every morning a group of heavy-eyed, heavy-footed, tennis enthusiasts tramp down the halls waking everyone as gently as possible. I can't understand some people. Always they're talking about the beauty sleep which they must catch up on and, yet, they sacrifice beauty of face for beauty of legs when they start slamming that ball around in the early morning hours. Poor damsels! All they get for their effort*-. =.- - brais d knee, an p. .. and u>Uoleu hair, which, believe it or not, boys, is still on hair rollers beneath those flattering, flowery kerchiefs. Anyone can tell those that tt'i really umoozin', and quite confoozin', as LIT Abner says, the things I can see from my little observatory up here on top of Davies Hall. That Duff Blades for instance—I can't keep up with her and David. They do act funny for a courtin' couple! Why she dates Ick' 'nd Bud, 'nd a lot of fellers, and David dated that cute little Hodgin girl when she came up here. Most confoozin', I would say! I do believe Cohn and 8uzy are getting "that way" about each other. When Suzy was in he infirmary Cohn just haunted the place, and they sho' did have a happy reunion when her measles were gone. Tommy Allison and Frank White are tootln, around with Martha and Margaret now—and that all makes for a cute foursome! Martha and Margaret are tw0 pretty freshmen, and Tommy and Frank are pretty swell stuff too! Joy seems to have a liking for "mail-men"—'cause you can see her with Stooge Roberts most any old time. Maybe it's that southern drawl of hers that's so attractive—anyway that gal ain't n0 slouch! Don't tell me that Phil has been stung by the love bug at last! Yep! Janice seems to have him well under control—every time you see him he says, "Have you sen Janice?" Mmmmm—true love, maybe? Delmar and Pannle Mae are courtin' ! th ■■ •»" ~st ^is ring back irom tre Jitcle red-head In Sylva — Speaking of rings, where's the one Brownie Pate was wearing awhile back? There's nothing like changing your mind, eh Veo? There's something striking about Izzy Glllls. Maybe It's her hair, but whatever it is Al seems to find It attractive—He's not exactly mesmerized yet—but he's on the way! Kit Davis and Beter sho' do find each others' company entertaining—at least I guess that's why they stay together s0 much—or does Beter like blue eyes and blond hair? I wouldn't know about that— Palmer is a brunette. Guess a lot of girls will wish they were seniors now that special privileges have been announced. Wish I was a Senior and had somebody to court. I think Emmet Sams is a cute little boy. I heard somebody ask Leo and Betty Lamb if they were brother and sister the other day— because they stay together so much. Don't believe there's any brotherly love in that case! Why doesn't Bert Miller ever date anybody? He's cute—Don't tell me that It's he who's holding up the process! Honorable mention this week goes to Una and Burl, Jean and Billy, John and Mary Kathryn, Betty and Shuford, Fran and Harry. Congratulations on your faith, hope and loyalty—and may you have many more happy hours together. "Wisht I had a feller!" traces of red mud (now dust) about their knuckles and ears where the ball has "gone through the racket." Oh, well, I should fuss. You only live once—if you can call that living—and you may as well get in practice unitil every string Is broken and every ball Is dead. Oh Happy Day—so darn far away—when I can once again let my alarm clock come into use. NO. 1 BRASS HAT—of the radio regiments is Glenn Miller, according to a recent poll of the nation's radio editors. Miller's special way of serving song and swing has caught the faucy of American dancere more than any other band today, the editors agree. Nope-those aren't trench helmets the sliphorn hoys are swinging, though the Miller band Salutes the army camps three times weekly on its "Chesterfield Moonlight Serenade." It's a C. B. S. program. and at Greensboro. Last Sunday, a group of high school seniors and parents visited the college campus, as a result of the trip made by the faculty members, the previous week. called the conclusive plan. It is I lege of inviting the secretary and now in force in several states, (officers to meet with it once Cast Rehearsing Play To Be Given Soon Three Faculty Members Make Tour Of Schools Coach Whatley, W. A. Ash- •brook, and John Worth McDevitt spent the week of April 21 on a publicity tour for the college, visiting various high schools of the State. The purpose of the trip was to attract prospective students for next year. Among the schools visited were, Black Mountain Rutherford ton, Forest City, Cherryville, Tryon, Shelby, Burlington and O^ham. rs ' There rumor gotn;* about tnat two .u^iiiucs who had escaped from the state insane asylum practiced with the cast of "You Can't Take It With You" the other night and no one knew the difference. Miss Tyree keeps a straight jacket handy, anyhow, in case Joe Crowell gets absolutely beyond control. "You Can't Take It With You" is such a riot, that after three weeks of rehearsal, the players still laugh over their lines. Joe Crowell takes time off between rest periods to play the part of an absent-minded, xylophone playing son-in-law. Joe acts the part of a nit-wit naturally and well. The entire cast Is a curious conglomeration of scatterbrains, numbskulls, dim-wits, half-wits, and quarter-wits. Leo Cowan does his Russian refugee role splendidly. A typical night of play rehearsal follows this pattern. Miss Tyree sits on the front row, the neat pile of bitten off finger nails in front of her growing ever larger. The foot lights are dim, obscured with dandruff Tom Allison has scratched out while trying to think of a reply to Miss Tyree. The actors hurry about getting ready for the first act. Frank White desperately gleans the crowd for a match to light the cigarette stub he found In Howard McDevitt's pocket while Howard was asleep under the piano. At last the first act begins. It is a glorious mixture of fireworks, hungry snakes, commencement programs, Love Dreams (candy), three act plays with nuns as heroines, and ballet-dancing. The characters fit their parts naturally. Everyone is supposed to be off their nuts in the play—the cast was way off before they ever saw the play. "Grandpa" Frye claims that with lesson plans, baseball, and this play, he'll have to drift down about Morganton before long. Mary Delle, plays the mother's role excellently—looking toward the future maybe. Although this brief review of this play is as helter-skelter as the play itself, allow me this warning: All those who have had recent appendicitis operations are urged to stay away from the production, or you will have a split side again. including North Carolina. It is expected that eventually the plan will be extended to all states. Under this plan each member pays state and national dues of $2.00 per year—$1.00 ge- ing t0 the state and $1.00 to the national organization. In states not on the co-Inclusive plan each member pays $1.00 per yegr na- ional dues. In return for the $1.00 national dues, the chapter receives: An attractive charter with a gold seal each year to show that the chapter is in good standing. A library of books and material with additions each year. Special services in planning programs and projects. The right to call upon officers of the NEA to meet with the chapter. The right t0 call upon officers of the NCEA to meet with the chapter. The individual receives: Nine issues of the Journal of the NEA. Ten Personal Growth Leaflets which he may select from the entire list. The right to wear the FTA pin; and A National Certificate of Merit at the end of his college course if he has earned 300 or more merit points. Some members will have the honor of representing the Chapter at the National Convention each year. Some members will have the honor of representing the chapter at the State Convention each year. In return for the $1.00 FTA membership fee in the North Carolina 'State Education Association each member of the Chapter receives regularly the State Associationai Journal, and has a part in the work of the Association for the advancement of education. The Chapter receives other publications of the State Association and the prlvi- ve the "urge" by wise in - cting the trees on' l.:em come limping in to break- the campus. I fast.

They also attended College each year. State associations usually provide a place at their annual conventions for a sectional meeting devoted to FTA. If the state association maintains a teacher placement bureau, its service is available to FTA members. Each state FTA member may also order from the National Committee ten Personal Growth Leaflets beyond the ten allowed on the national membership—a total of 20. The FTA merit points are awarded for achievement. A merit point is earned by an hour's work on an FTA project. FTA members are expected to average 50 points each year, so that a student who is a Future Teacher during four years in college will earn 200, or more, merit points. At the end of the year the FTA sponsor gives each member a signed statement as to the number of merit points earned during that year. State- ~ ments may be forwarded to the^ National Committee FTA which issues certificates of merit to those Future Teachers with 200 points. The importance of being a member of a college chapter of FTA lies in the fact that it is not a blind-alley organization, having little or no significance after the student finishes college; but is an important part of the state and national education associations, which for nearly a century have been the prime moving forces in the development of American education. Everyone who enters the teaching profession benefits from the labors of these organizations which have helped to improve the curriculum; to extend the preparation of teachers; to perfect school administration; to develop leadership; and to secure increased public support for education. FTA Membership Offers Opportunity Future Teachers of America is not just another college club.
