At the next meeting, Miss Mabel Tyree will discuss the music of the thirteenth century. The English seminar was organized four years ago by the staff of the English department for the purpose of studying topics related to the field of literature. It meets bimonthly in the homes of the members. The club has no formal organization and the meetings are open to anyone interested in attending. During the past year among the topics which the seminar made a special study of were Plato's "Republic"; Mark Van Doren's "May Field Deer"; "Elinor of Acquitaine," and "Trends of Symbolism in French Poetry." Attending the meeting were President and Mrs. H. T. Hunter, Dean and Mrs. W. E. Bird, Professor and Mrs. Elliott, Dean Anne Albright, Misses Anne Rabe, Laura Jean McAdams, Mabel Tyree, and Ruth Elliott. The next meeting will be held on October 9 with Miss Tyree as hostess at Robertson Hall. The public is invited to attend. up, Betty Lamb; advertising, Juanita Fisher; sound effect, Louise E.

Members of the executive committee who chose these chairmen are Miss Mabel Tyree, sponsor; Vance Robertson, president; Edith Cherry, vice-president; Juanita Fisher, secretary; and Reuben Harris, treasurer.

To the Committee Chairmen and their co-workers in the past has gone a large share of the success of the Western Carolina Players for their loyalty and cooperation in producing the plays.

"The pre-Pearl Harbor days, when there were more men who wanted to go than were quotas to fill, have been, passed," this writer observes "and headaches have multiplied for the Selective Service board members." He specifies and comments: "They have long since found that they carry their selective duties with them everywhere they go in the county, even after they step out of the Selective Service Board Headquarters. Curbstone Quizzes "John Doe, a Crawford County farmer, stops them on the street and tells them he doesn't know how he'll ever be able to run his farm if his son, whose number has come up, Is called in the draft. They walk a few more steps and Joseph Doe, who runs a small factory, stops them to ask what he's supposed to do if he wants to apply for occupational deferment for one of his men. They aren't even a half- block away from the Selective Service office, and James Doe stops them. He wants to know if his number is up yet and when he'll go. "There are hearings after hearings on individual cases. "There are regular board meetings. "There are special board meetings. "There are surly registrants who damn them as 'persecutors' and refuse to listen to iron-clad regulations laid down by National Selective Service Headquarters and Congress. "There are 'dense' registrants who will have everything explained to them in detail. They'll nod their head in assent and say, T .don't get it.' "There are registrants who will angle for every possible deferment clause in the regulations when their number comes up. "As if this ordinary routine of Selective Service business were not enough, the local boards are showered wi"h anonymous letters and postcards. Every crank who ever wrote a letter to a newspaper or to his Congressman, now writes to the Selective Service boards. "The Selective Service board member is called nasty names and accused of everything under the sun, by these 'crackpot' writers who won't sign their names. Wives Are "War Widows" "All of this, and the Selective Service board member still has to put in his regular working day in private business or industry to earn a living for himself and his family. "The wives who were left behind when their husbands went into the service aren't the only 'war widows.' The wives of the Selective Service board members can form their own 'war-widows' union. "Would you like to be a Selective Service board member? "Not on your life! "I'd rather be drafted. "The hours are better— 'And you get paid." Company of Atlanta, presented the A. C.
