A shorter period of time may be allowed upon special appro', al of the director followed by a tory piece of work. There is a growing need for special tutoring courses. The college hitherto has made no particular provision for students in need of special tutoring. Stu- dents not only from Western Carolina Teachers College, but also students from junior colleges, technical and vocational colleges, libe: alleges, as well as from other teachers' colleges, often find themselves In need of "make-up" courses, such as ci Igebra, general inorganic chemistry, French, or Spanish, in order to meet graduation requirements, or library science to qualify for some special service. Thi.s is becoming more and more true in the urgency of national defense courses which formerly have not been made available. By intensive concentration one may do a full year's work i totaling six to c smester — nine to twelve quail i) in any one of these com The following courses are specially designed to meet the needs pointed out. above: college algebra and trigonometry, ele-' mentary Spanish, general inorganic chemistry, and library science. Other courses will probably be offered for men and women who are not interested in college credit but who would like special training In certain skill courses. Effort is being made, for example, to operate a short cooking school, headed by a capable instructor, for housewives. It is hoped that something of a practical nature for farmers also may be offered. These courses -Campus Clubs- e setting in which to spend the vacation months.

TO BUY SWEATERS FOR LE1TERMEN The Monogram Club is not only driving hard for victory In the Major sports on the campus but it is driving toward another goal raising two hundred and . -five dollars. The membership of the Monogram Club is composed of members from one of the outstanding groups on the campus — who participate in intercollegiate sports. Yet, when appropriations were made for clubs it did not receive a dollar nor was piovision made for letters and sweaters to be given the members of the varsity athletic teams. This is why the men of this club must raise two hundred and twenty-five dollars. George Ropp, business manager, will accept donations for this sweater-letter fund.

Miss Jean McAdams is sponst '. Mr. Madison was at the dance. We are glad he is able to be with us and take part In our activities again. Lucille Reynolds and Joy Juniper wanted it announced that they were the prettiest girls ree? Tin ns comm '.ade some money they set up a food stand. The striped decorations reminded one of pepper-mint and one couldn't help but think of grapes when he looked at the balloons. Emmet Sams and Augusta Jarvis said their position as doorkeepers rated a notice in the paper. Hope they enjoy seeing it. Someone got kinda heated up over a number that was announced for jitterbugging only. He said it was a shame to waste such good music. Well, seeing is believing, but your writer has yet to see anyone do anything but jitterbug to a "Johnson's Rag."

He organized an eight piece orchestra. Wright was again offered the trip to Europe by the Cunard-White Star Line in exchange for its service as ship's orchestra. The tentative plans would have meant that the boys would have been in Europe for about two weeks at which time they would have had to bear their own expenses. Because of financial conditions this was impractical for the boys, and they were forced to turn down the offer. At the end of the winter quarter of 1936, Vincent accepted a position with Tenny Freck's orchestra in Asheville, playing the summer season at Lake Eden Inn and engagements at Grove Park Inn, The Vanderbilt Hotel, Blltmore Country Club, and the 8. and W. Cafeteria. He also played engagements with Al Dunn at the Battery Park Hotel, Royal Pines Casino, and Asheville Normal.

Most of the people on the trip were professional and business people. Her personal feeling is that North America and South America almost complement each oilier in every way except human relationships.

SPEAKER Miss Lucy Gage, professor of Elementary Education at George tegrity.' As a speaker, she is famous. She has made speeches in every state in the United States and through interpreters in South America. Miss Gage's philosophy can be taken from the following quotation: "Due to my deep interest in the study of the young child, who gets hold of the world by doing things with it, has come a philosophy that applies to all living creatures and their development— namely, that only by the expression of self you get a revelation of self and the true measure of one's reach.
