Upwards of 3,000,000 volunteer solicitors began their canvas of every home and office in communities from coast to coast for $100,000,- 000, the largest peacetime fund ever raised by the organization. The month of March has been designated Red Cross month by President Truman, who, in his proclamation, called for the fullest support of the organization's campaign. Simultaneously Red Cross Chairman Basil O'Connor and civic leaders everywhere pointed to the need for continuing Red Cross services to able-bodied troops abroad and in this country, to those in hospitals, and to veterans, as well as to families and dependents of all who have worn the uniform. The Western Carolinian dedicates its single issue for the month of March to the American Red Cross and appeals to all within its circulation to support this humanitarian organization to the fullest extent. Four Reports About (Continued From Page One) meet the requirements for majors in home economics, physical education and primary and grammar grade education, she said. In teaching space she recommended two classrooms, one with opaque projectors; two laboratories for general arts and for crafts; two offices each with storage space and two large storage rooms. Schreiber Suggests Increased Music Requirements To meet requirements of the Hillman report, Mr. Schreiber recommended this certain 2-hour course meeting three hours per week be changed to give three hours of credit. For the music major he recommended that requirements be raised from 54 to 69 quarter hours and for a music minor from 45 to 54. The Western Carolina Music School meets the requirements of the Hillman Studies, Schreiber said, in terms of hours required, but not in the proportion required in the field of applied music. At present this institution requires nine hours in applied music; the Hillman report requires 27. Mr. Schreiber would meet this deficit partly by reevaluating the applied music offerings and allowing two hours' credit for two one-half hour lessons and 12 hours' practice each week. This reevaluation would make it possible for the student to earn these 27 hours in three school years. He cited the University of North Carolina and Womans College as two schools who offer this much credit on these courses. To make it possible for a student to earn a music major with 69 hours and a minor in another field in four years' time, Mr. Schreiber also recommended waiving the language requirement for music majors. As goal to work toward in the future, Mr. Schreiber set up a pure music major carrying 100 hours of straight music. At present the college only offers a major in music education. About the absence of a juke box in the Student Union Building? Since tbe juke box has been taken away students have decided that they are definitely lost. They all expressed a desire for another one and a promise that the next one will be taken care of. What do I not think?—Pauline Boyd. It doesn't bother me, I don't dance—Don Cabe. I just think we need one.—Jerry Rice. I think it's a dirty shame!—J. C. Cunningham. I am very sorry that we do not have one, but it's the students' own fault. They have no one to blame but themselves.—Pete McDonald. It's rugged.-—Clarence Cook. I'm all for having one, 'cause, gee, it's something to do after supper and I think somebody ought to get one!—Mary Joyce Calvin. I've already expressed my opinion!—Bob Pittillo. I think it's a hell of a note.— Frank Hardin. I don't use it myself but I think it's a decidedly worthwhile asset to the campus social life. It should be got back by fair means or foul. —Halliburton. It's just unbearable."— Helen Goode. Where there is planned recreation, there is less bush whacking. —C. Rouser, III. f .. „ I The Cn I I ! It's happened! (so they say)— the thing I thought I'd never live to hear on this campus. A group of Madison Hall "destructees" re- port that they held a bull-sessioi for two hours the other night without mentioning wine or women Imagine it! Chuck ("Old Fearless") Jones says it's incredible and even if it were true it could not have been interesting. My only comment is: All who believe it jump from the top of Joyner! Don Cabe has practiced and perfected a neat little trick. When three girls decide he's their "dream man" and chase him from the parlors of Moore dormitory, he gracefully trips to the end of the rock wall, where he'll be sure to be cornered—a n d caught! Rather neat, huh? But not surprising coming from Actor Cabe. (There, Don! Now see that you lower those eyes the next time you see me.) For that touch of speed with the vets, just watch Nancy Smith making hay. Who's the guy, Nancy, and why does he call you "Gay Pari"? He's got all the girls wondering. You know — "Slay-'em-with-the- Eyes" Dillard. The very next huddle of girls you encounter you'll know they're trying to figure out whether it's a twitch in his eye or whether he's just wolfing. Have you noticed the light in all the lassies' eyes lately? Chalk it up to the F.F.A. (Future Football-players of America) — the muscles, the shoulders, the height —Get the smelling salts while I slowly careen out. My war nerves, you know. But hey! I see that Rosemary and Mary Ann are already on the job—and making progress too, darn it! And what about Kat Powell and Nancy Blanton? They have a few of these huskies lined up, too. To get back to wordly, down-to- earth things, I want to know what happened to Al Shufford and his shuffle board practice. The old champ must have decided that P. T. and shuffle board were two leisure activities that didn't go hand in hand. Such a crying sham^, too, because it meant so much to him. Well, old things, as usual this column is several hours overdue. Did I say hours? Pardon me, I must have been thinking of something else. Anyway, see ye at football practice and in the meantime polish your charms; we can't let these MEN (and I do mean just that—thank goodness) go around unescorted. Huba! Huba! By "Pinky" Denton is wearing a broad grin and a sly look nowadays. In fact, she looks like the cat that just swallowed the canary. Latch on, Pinky; now is your chance to show them what you can do. Mary "Innocence" Moody is be- hand in the mad rush to grab a new boy friend. We are beginning to worry about you, Mary. It is an evident fact that you are capable; what are you waiting for? Charles "Long Tom" Jones is going to lose Jean Hall if he doesn't stop her from talking to a certain ex-Marine, now a football player here. You can get revenge on the field, Jones. If you lose her, you can take down the curtains in your room, you home loving boy. Tom Fore and Hanley Painter initiated one of the new boys that night of March ? Earl Martin has been seen trying to buck "Big Elmer" Neill in football. Oliven "Pistol Packin" Cowan is a good subject for gossip, but rest easy. We don't have space for you this time, Bud. Just look at the next issue. Baby Dillard is certainly "making hay while the sun shines" with Jakie pianist Schooner — you'll have to guess the rest. We can't spell it. The mail boy is late for classes what with a girl and his heavy reading in the post office, too. Why are Margie Brown and Pauline Crisp throwing dagger looks at each other? Could it be over Jerry "Sugar" Rice? Elaine Bust-em and Betty Lou "Butter" have the Battleship Brothers sewed up. Better watch them, Ben and Hugh. Another ship is due to dock here in April. Liz Styles certainly knows how to pull strings. Ask (censored)— he knows. Eloise Martin is giving "Iron Head" a fast shuffle. It is rumored she has picked a beau from this new bunch of stags. Speaking of manpower, Rea and Lea are standing patiently by waiting for the arrival of twin boys to fill the gap. The latest rumor is that Susie "Satch" Garland has a buzzum pal in Waynesville. Why don't you bring him on the campus, Susie? Maxie "Beelzebub" Wright is known to have interpreted this column to a certain faculty member. That is bad—for us; Maxie can surely read between the lines. Rumor has it that Madrie and Jean are frightened over the possibility that this column may print the sad faces of the hard life they are leading in their newest romances. It would take up too much space, "keeds." Jim "Fly and Fight-em" McRainey is strictly on the ball. Every Sunday we find him walking some woman through the pansy gardens. What's the deal, old boy? We thought your woman lived at Robertson. We haven't anything on Carolyn Blakenship, but give us time. We heard her shouting "like a negro at a prayer meeting" when she heard that "Junior" Ellis was back. Maybe You Know . .

ANO FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT A FORMER BANKERS' CLUB IN TOKYO WAS OPENED ASA RED CROSS CLUB SHORTLY AFTER OCCUPATION. THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS USE IT AS A DAILY RENDEZVOUS WELCOME Two Administrative Measures Deal With Deficiency-Proficiency And Class Cuts THE WORM Two administrative measures of considerable interest to the students were passed recently by tbe faculty at a regular meeting after being cleared through the proper committees. The first had to do with the deficiency-proficiency system which has been in effect for about two years; the second was concerned with class cuts. The deficiency system was modified so that no penalty is attached to a student's being listed as doing unsatisfactory work, and all privileges connected with the proficiency roster were abolished. Instructors will continue to hand in deficiency reports every three weeks according to the new rule; students then in turn, will be notified by mail of their standings. The requirement of keeping to his room during the evening and studying was discarded. In the field of the class absences the new ruling which takes effect in September, 1946, allows a student only eleven absences for an entire quarter in all courses including chapel and physical education. For twelve cuts he is given a negative hour on his record and for every subsequent cut he is given a negative half-hour. Absences equivalent to two weeks' work in any subject during the quarter for any reason will mean loss of credit unless he files a written petition with the faculty through the dean for special action in his case. The student is advised to have all absences for which he is entitled to an excuse approved by the dean and officially filed as a means of protection in case he should need to appeal for credit at the end of the quarter. According to the present system governing class absences, a student is allowed two unexcused and three excused absences in every three-hour course and a total of three chapel cuts and three cuts >n physical education. By this system he can have a total of 17 unexcused absences or 34 excused absences in one quarter on a 16-hour load. The A.C.E Does Much Constructive Work On College Campus A "Toy and Game Lending Library" is the latest project of the Association For Childhood Education, a campus organziation designed for the welfare of children. The local-campus chapter of ihe international association is sponsored by Miss Lenora Smith of the primary education department. This new type library is oniy one of many projects undertaken by the club since its formation to help the children of the community and the training school. It is operated on the basis of any other library, and children of all ages check books and games out two days a week during the noon hour. The purpose of the club is to spread knowledge concerning all organized work for the benefit of children; and the result is twofold: the children get the help of a guiding hand and the members of the organization are working to make creative things for children. Now they are planning to make rag dolls and provide as many other toys as possible. The idea is that the girls, in making them, get a chance to express themselves as well as to help others. Mrs. George Tracy, formerly Miss Lilla Ketchin, started the association on the campus in 1938 when she took a group of students to Atlanta to a national meeting. Since then it has grown by leaps and bounds. Contrary to popular opinion, the club is open to anyone interested in child welfare or child development, and not just to primary education majors. Parents, ministers and civic-minded people all over the world take part. The chief event of the club this year was a regional meeting during the fall quarter. "Sharing With Others" was the theme and the emphasis during the meeting was on books and children's literature. Evelyn Norton, a senior majoring in primary education, is president of the organization. Other officers are Margaret Young, vice president; Frankie DeHart, recording secretary; Mabel McCracken, corresponding secretary; Gwendolyn Cagle, treasurer; Sadie Wallia, publications representative. Mrs Emogene N. Eddins is chairman of the toy and game project. X CHANGE By JOE HENRY Topic for Today: Debris swept from a college newspaper office. Man is like a lamp wick— trimmed lots of time until he gets the right flame. Betty took a short course in "Charm Culture," but flunked the course because she belched on the way up the aisle to her diploma. ■+ Makin' Believe OR Alibi Hour It's so dry in Kansas, according to confidential reports, that the trees are going to the dogs. PROCESS OF ELIMINATION An old tramp sidled up to the back door of a little English tavern called the "George and Dragon", and said to the landlady, "Could you spare an old man a bite of dinner?" "I should say not, you good for nothing loafer," said the landlady, and slammed the door in his face. The tramp's face re-appeared at the kitchen window. "I was just wondering," he said, "if I could 'ave a word with George." The Worm crawls *in and the worm crawls out; 'specially since it's springtime, you know, and refreshment time with the 'fresher men. Statistics will probably show a lower ratio between the males and those of the opposite sex, and don't we love it!! My advice is to treat 'em rough, but if you're the "motherly type," mother away. Overheard: That Jefferson girl could tempt a preacher. That's a joke, son. Jean Hall mutters, "I wish the navy had kept Mr. Hinds." It isn't hat she doesn't like the prof, it's hose trig problems he dreams up. As Margaret Young says, we've had "The Voice" and "The Eyes" on the campus. Now enters "The Chest," known in other circles as Richard Queen. The Chest, I say. Flowers to Pauline Crisp for her latest catch, or should they go to Margie? One more tight squeeze like that and where will Jerry be? Announcing Bob "Slay-'Em-Air Pittillo's three loves: women and women and women. A collection will be taken soon to buy him a bicycle. He has trouble running three shifts at night. Smoothest looking job seen in the bookstore is Dick "The Wink" Dillard.

Their little house by the side of the road is pretty popular, I hear. Just exactly what was meant by DREAMERS 'Harriet" Is Well A Tech student was riding along with a luscious blonde when the motor started knocking and then stopped. Said he, "I wonder whta that knocking was?" Said she, "It might be opportunity." Every man has his wife, the ice man has his pick. but Pupil: "Teacher, may I leave the room?" Teacher: "No, Bobbie, you stay here and fill the inkwells." Damn a prof that gives a quiz on Monday morning. Damn a prof that gives a quiz on Monday. Damn a prof that gives a quiz. Damn a prof.

Emogene Eddins, as Georgia Stowe, pictured the tom-boy who grew up and fell in love with the (Delayed) About that time every Wednesday afternoon members of the Western Carolinian staff congregate in common interest (namely not to get a class cut) in the journalism office to publish this honorable paper you are now reading —we say as we pick up discarded editions all over the campus. During the aforesaid meeting, refreshments are served and the new "Carolinian" is discussed. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Heh, heh, heh! Mabel uses that as her central selling point when she's recruiting innocent victims for the journalism class. The time is now. The truth must be told. Murder will out—if Tyree doesn't read this before it goes to press. Mabel always arrives (five minutes late) with a little red book under one arm; Halliburton—already seated with a big red book spread out before him—and she start collaborating. (Personal definition in this case: making tall fibbers out of imaginative reporters). It's a vicious circle. "Brown, Where's that article on the music club? Overdue two weeks." Betty immediately bows and scrapes before him, thinks fast and answers. "My roommate's brother's wife had a baby and she's so upset she couldn't type it. I'll give it to you first thing tomorrow." Mabel (with the little red book) plops down an E. Great life! Nancy Potts' favorite is "But Miss Ty-ree-ee, I chased that man five days trying to get an interview. Orville said I just had to stop." Jean Hall (that gal again) mutters: "I guess you know, Mr. Halliburton, that I didn't cover that wedding. You've heard about cam- pused people, haven't you? Well, I'm one of 'em. Or, had you heard?" When Monty Haire's name is mentioned for a news story he Madrie Galloway's remark concerning Jim McRainey as a prospective May Court escort. It was something like this "anybody that can support him." Explain, please! thought when I asked the question: "What do you think would be the first thing you'd buy if you had the money and IF it were available?" Nylons!! Oodles of 'em—Ruhy G. Conley. A jeep!—Margaret Mallonee. An electric refrigerator (these married women!) A bus ticket home.—Pauline Boy. An Oldsmobile.—Sam Queen. I'd set everybody up to a penny stick of candy (if Joe wouldn't charge me 2 cents a piece!) A combination radio and phonograph with lots of albums.—Judy Owings. I can't think of a thing I want to buy right now.—Oliven Cowan. The Lone Ranger's saddle!—Al Shuford. A country home and dogs.—Nancy Blanton. Alec Rickman (who wouldn't?) —Carolyn Leach. A whole big lump of happiness. —Frankie DeHart. Biggest bunch of horses you ever saw.—Jean Mauney. Buy Joe a mechanical nickel grabber so he wouldn't have lo reach across the counter so much. —Roy Phillips. A house and furniture and a car. —Audette Salmon. Red flannels for this weather!— Helen Bird. A husband.—Mabel Morgan. I'd rather have him for free.— Jean Hall. A rope to hand Jim Russell. That's what I want.—Madrie Galloway. Maybe They'll Wish They Hadn't In New York there's a bump in the pavement in a block where several waterfront bars are located and in the darkness at 1 a. at. today a driver hit it and the rear doors of his truck flew open. Eighteen cases of chewing gum bounced out and were scattered along the block. Bar customers rushed out, delved into cartons and began chewing. Other truckmen stopped and joined the scramble. Neighborhood residents dashed down from apartments. When a patrolman arrived he flicked on a flashlight and the beam hit the trade name on one of the broken cases. It said, "Ex-Lax." —University Daily Kansan, K. U. looks up, definitely surprised, startled and amazed, from his coffee cup and screams, "Mr. Halliburton, you didn't give that article to me!" It's a frame-up. Ditto with those E's. The climax comes when Mabel runs across her own name in connection with an article. "I've been so busy," she retaliates, and the reporters wonder why she can't be more imaginative when dreaming up excuses. This could go on for columns, kids, but you see, Miss Tyree just walked in with her little red book. See me later if you want to know what's lying. Gibson/ Lowell Denton, pride of the twins, to whom he wanted to be a brother, became engaged to Georgia after he was injured in the war. Jimmy Phillips, Little Freddie Stowe, and Dan Phillips, James Eeecher, became junior members of the Players because of their excellent work in the play. Miss Tyree has them marked for future roles. Eliza and Hatty or Hatty and Eliza (we still aren't sure which is which) were Harriet's twins who were afraid of being maiden ladies. Pauline Boyd and Betty Wier were excellent in the parts. Bob Pitillo, Freddie Stowe, pictured Harriet's son. He showed the love of a son for his mother, and his willingness to fight for the beliefs she wrote about. Stern Minister Orville Coward, papa of the Beecher clan, looked and acted the part of a "hell fire and brimstone" preacher who ruled his family with an iron hand. Four of his "six stalwart sons dedicated to God through the ministry" were portrayed by Floyd Cunningham, Jim Edd Hughes, J. C. Cunningham and Earl Martin. Harriet's hired help would be an addition to any home. Maxie Wright played Auntie Zeb, the lovable Negro mammy with a laugh like Santa Claus'; Colette Jefferson was Mrs. Hobbs, the New Englander with a taste for codfish and an independent air; Moody portrayed the efficient maid after the S t o w e s had become prosperous. Jannette White and Irene Jordon were female members of the Beecher Clan; Doris Brinkley was Celestine, the "Topsy" of "Uncle Tom's Cabin;" June Wright played the part of Sukey, a run-away slave; Houston Henderson portrayed Mr. Tuttle, a newspaperman; J. R. Munn was an artist, Mr. Wycherly; J. C. Cunningham was the typical Maine character, Jer- suha Pantry; Howard Collins played the part of the federal officer, Haley, who took Sukey back to slavery. All the acting was worthy of professional performance. Those who did a marvelous job in trie leading roles were ably supported by a capable cast. Saga Of A Sofa The sofa sagged in the center, The shades were pulled just so; The family had retired, The parlor lights were low. There came a sound from the sofa, As the clock was striking two. And the student closed his textbook, With a thankful, "Well, I'm through!" There's A Moral Here!?! Theysatlikethisuponaseat And now and then they kiss. And then he says some Darn Fool Thing And then they sit Like this. Marriage is like a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffer-ring. —Highland Echo, Maryville Col. -+ THE CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT The campus spotlight is turned this issue on Mary C. Moody, junior, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Moody of Canton. Miss Moody, active in the building of the better things in life on this campus, has a host of friends who support her fully in her many activities. Miss Moody was president of the International Relations Club in her sophomore year. At the Mary present time she is president of the Junior Class, a Senator, vice- Chief Councilman of Moore Dormitory, Secretary of the Marshals' Club, and chairman of the makeup committee of the Western Carolina Players. She was named to "Who's Who Among Students in America Universities and Colleges" for 1945-'46. Once in a while there are found in a student body a few students who accept the responsibility of a position as fully as they do the honor; to them duty is the highest obligation, and this feeling results in the making of a real campus leader. Mary Moody is certainly a campus leader in this respect. Strictly businesslike, she has done an admirable job in extra-curricular activities. The Western Carolinian salutes you, Mary! More power to you!

The Western Carolinian is Western Carolina University’s student-run newspaper. The paper was published as the Cullowhee Yodel from 1924 to 1931 before changing its name to The Western Carolinian in 1933.
