Houts, local pastor at the Methodist church introduced the speaker. In his talk Mr. Hardin paralleled the renovation of building a new faith within ourselves, pointing out that we must dig deeper for a strong foundation in order to support this new faith and that we must broaden our outlook in order to build to the phalanx and that we must tear down the partitions within ourselves such as race hatred, and other prejudices in order to make ourselves more "attractive" Christians. After the close of the service the group retired to the basement of the church for recreation and refreshments. Stewart B. Hamblen Speaks To Faculty Stewart B.

November 9 was featured with open house, a big parade Saturday afternoon and climaxed by a football clash with the school's old rival, Appalachian, Saturday night. Alumni and alumnae gathered at the Alma Mater for the first postwar get-together. Highlight of the afternoon program was the parade, led by the Cherryville high school band in Sylva. Sponsors of the football squad and representatives of the college organizations walked through Sylva followed by costumed characters of the plays of the Dramatics club. The parade was followed by a concert by the band and exhibitions by the baton corps. Despite the rough treatment received by the Catamounts in the pigskin struggle, the game was no less a success. A capacity crowd of old and new students viewed the parade of the sponsors and their escorts immediately preceding the game and the hard-fought gridiron tussle. The band performed again during the half and J. B. Beam led the baton corps through their paces again. Informal dancing was held in the gymnasium following the game. Coffee and cakes were served.

Killian attended the North Carolina college conference in Greensboro, Nov. 12-14. The meetings were held at the O. Henry hotel. The most important feature of the entire meeting was the changing of standards of the college conference. Most of the changes concerned teacher salaries and school libraries.

This conference consisted of registrars from all the colleges in North Carolina. The question discussed by the group, was the amount of credits allowed to the G. I.'s on the basis of tests. Dr. Clyde A. Milner, president of the college conference last year, spoke to the conference group Wednesday evening. His topic was "Let us Consider The College Teacher." Col. T. O.

Mr. Houck's two main points were: first, actually that teachers were making better salaries than most people thought and secondly that there is only one sure way of making teachers unite in efforts to raise their salaries and that is for them to live away from home while teaching and especially during the three summer months.
