They are both stationed in Company H of the 120th Infantry, at Fort Jackson, S. C. Both boys expressed a desire to return to Cullowhee and said they missed their many friends and happy experiences here. THE RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Club is showing marked Improvement in marksmanship, notwithstanding the fact that it is operating under the handicap of a shortage of guns. Several new rifles have been ordered, however; but, since they have to be equipped with slings and special sights, delivery has not been as prompt as it otherwise would have been. Ralph J. Andrews, head of the Physical Education Department, made a trip to Asheville recently in an effort to speed up the shipment. He expects the new guns to be here within the next five or six days. The club is eager for their arrival. —Herbert Lee he can't get much service. Apparently no one thinks of going to the desk when the library work is slack. Each student thinks he should go when the rest go. The librarians, working like mad to catch up, wonder if this rush will never end, and the students, pushing and crowding their ways to the front, wonder if they will ever get waited on. Each student wonders when it would be easier to get service, but as soon as he gets his book, he forgets all about the matter, and when the next rush comes, he does the same thing over again. Another bad habit of the stu- ents ls the crowding of the library at night. Many go to the reading room to study special reference books at night. This, of course, fills the reading room to near capacity. These students are within their rights and that is as it should be. The students responsible for the dinners, or a night of informal dancing. Then there are those gorgeous creations, known as evening dresses, that are si ] ing the same idea. Sleek silk jersey, buffouant chiffon, soft velvet, or slinky satin, with shin- •itdles and straps of rhine- stones i.r sequins. Perh ips you can rt:-make that old. black taffeta cito a ravishing, new model Witt) a sequin jacket of gold or blue or red. Or maybe you could drag out thjit old strapless chiffon with the full, full skirt and add strap rhlnettones and perky bows about the skirt. The cost is : the result glamorous, and all that's what most of us strive for on the dance door or In that swanky restaurant when splurge on our special date nights, Colors are bright and enticing this winter—there's mounty red, soldier blue, honey bt brilliant green—and you must have at least one bright touch of color on your costume. Buy a soft honey-beige foundation dress in wool, and add an ascot, hat and gloves of brilliant green; then step back and admire yourself. When you tire of the green, there's honey-suckle rose, soldier blue, or rural autumn rust that will make several more striking ensembles. Why don't you keep that in mind for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Has anyone seen those adorable, quilted housecoats? They're oh, so warm and soft, and they make you feel like a lady of leisure! And for their beauty, they're very reasonable, either in taffeta, tissue silk, or cotton. I saw a precious one in Madamoi expresses its regret that Miss i King was forced to leave school. Lawrence Stewart, a sophomore in the college, is being considered as the temporary successor of Miss King.

NEWS Western Carolina Players To Join National Fraternity The Western Carolina Players voted at its last meeting to organize on this campus a chapter of the Alpha Psi Omega, a national dramatics fraternity. This society is an honorary dramatics fraternity designed to provide an honor society for those people doing a high standard of work in dramatics. The motto of the fraternity is "Fellowship and Service to Stimulate Interest in Collegiate Dramatics." Membership in the fraternity depends on meeting certain high standards of activity concerned with dramatic production. The Western Carolina Players feel that affliliation with a national honorary society is a step forward for the society itself and a distinct advantage to the college in the contacts made with students of other institutions. The Players have already affiliated with the Carolina Dramatics Association whose headquarters are in the University of North Carolina, and plan to enter the drama festival held there each spring.

Thursday in a gust of cold wind, and we went out to welcome him in our warmest woolens, wrapped up like a little Chinese coolie who pads for the cold Chinese winter. I sometimes wish I could be sewed up in the winter and not be cut out 'till spring, but for the sake of humanity I guess it's a good thing we change clothes as often as we do. Have you noticed all the shine and glitter on clothes this season? If you glitter this year it's a sure sign that your'e glamorous!

The Training School pupils who visited the reading room seemed most impressed by the exhibit of art books. They particularly liked Michelangelo's paintings, the "Art In America" collection, and the "Treasury of Art Masterpieces."
