  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Monday, May 23, 1949 Needy Students Can Get Loans To Enter College by GIL BILLINGS Raleigh — Students planning to enter college in the fall, and wondering where the money for four years of training and studying is coming from are reminded of a little-publicized student loan fund set up by the state. Legislation of the 1947 General Assembly empowered the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, in accordance with such rules as it promulgated, to make loans to students. Applicants for medical, dental, pharmaceutical and nursing schools are eligible. The bill stipulates that students accepted for enrollment in any standard school or college giving approved courses in these four fields would be qualified for the loan. The Medical Care Commission authorized eight hundred dollar loans per year. While this money would not fully cover all expenses, it is expected to provide for principal expenditures. The 1947 law directed that the loans would bear a rate of interest not to exceed four per cent per annum. Professional students accepting loans from the state must agree upon graduation, and being duly licensed, to practice medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or nursing in some rural area of North Carolina for at least four years. Rural areas, according to the section, would mean any town or village having less than two thousand five hundred population according to the 1940 census. After 1950 the ensuing decennial censuses would be used in the definition Of the towns and cities in the state of North Carolina, only seventy are too large to be inapplicable for the agreement. Doctors planning to go into partnership could maintain regular office hours in a neighboring community and meet the requirements. THE BEST OF WEST By Charlie West In the Journalism Club meeting the other day it was suggested that I write a column. Why the suggestion was made, I do not know, and why I consented is an even bigger puzzle. Nevertheless, as of now, I am a columnist. Since "Graduation Day" is so near, I suppose that subject would be a fitting one on which to write. That is the day when the horse ranch is exchanged for the sheep farm. Let us imagine that we are seated in the Hoey Auditorium in Cullowhee, N. C, located in the heart of the beautiful Smoky Mountains. It is approximately 10:15 on the morning of June 6, 1949. The organist is playing some mournful tune that is customary on such occasions as this. The audience rises as the soon- to-be alumni of Western Carolina Teachers College file in. Donned in black robes and wearing funny hats with ropes hanging from the center, they are the personification of education — in the raw. Everyone sits and, since we find ourselves standing alone, we sit too. The preliminary ceremonies are hurriedly done away with and the audience is noiseless as the principle speaker arises. After several glasses of water and many throat clearings we hear of the brilliant challenge facing America's youth and how capable said youth is of handling said challenge (no reflection of Dr. Milner, who will deliver the graduation address). Amid a thunder of applause, the vibration of which loosens the dust on the ancient window curtains, the speaker Music Department To Present Concert The college chorus, under the direction of Professor W. H. Cupp, and the college band, under the direction of Professor W. Glenn Ruff will appear in concert May 26 at 8:00 p. m. assisted by the high school bands of Sylva, Bry- son City, and Waynesville. The chorus will present the following program: "Brothers Sing On" by Mackin- ney—Grieg. "The Green Cathedral" by Hahn, "Softly and Tenderly" (from the hymn) by Thompson, "Heavenly Light" by Kopylow and Wilkousky, "Veni Jesu" by Cherubini, "Old King Cole" by Forsyth, "Brother James' Air" (Marosa) by Jacob, 'The Heavens Are Telling" by Haydn. The massed band under the direction of W. Glenn Ruff, Ben Cole of Sylva High School, Charles Isley of Waynesville High School, and Donald Womick of Swain County High School will present the following program: 'Poet, Peasant, and Light Caval- takes his seat. Now the long awaited moment is here—the "sheepskins" are to be distributed. A mother sitting behind us weeps as her 200 pound '^baby" is handed his diploma. Some red-faced individual staggers across the stage, fumbles for his diploma, stammers something about something, and staggers off the stage (if I didn't know the boy better I would swear he had been drinking). Another person, as he is handed his diploma, quickly glances at a piece of paper in his shirt cuff and says, "Thank you." (We are all moved by his touching oration). Finally the last student has become an alumnus. The audience stands and sings the "Alma Mater" and America's youth rush out to accept its challenge. Thus ends "Graduation Day" of 1949. SIMMER SCHOOL Registration for first term begins Friday, June 10. Classes begin Saturday, June 11 and end with exams on Wednesday, July 20. Registration for second term begins Friday, July 22. Classes begin Saturday, July 23 and end with exams on Tuesday, August 30. There have been three courses added. High School Administration, Elementary Administration, and Problems in School Supervision. These courses will be offered to those who wish to renew principal certificates or obtain principal certificates. The only Saturday classes that will be held are those on the first Saturday of each term. will end each day at lunch. The instructors for all courses will be announced later. ryman" by March and Fillmore, 'Saskatchewan, Overture" by Holmes Donlad Womick, conducting "Tumbling Tumbleweed" by No- land and Bennett 9 "The New Dawn, Overture" by Russell "In a Persian Market, Intermezzo"—Scene, Keteby Charles Isley, conducting • "Queen City March" by Boorn Ben Cole, conducting "So This Is Dvorak" by Buchtel "Drum Major Special, Swing March" by Handlon "The Bells of St. Mary's" by Adams- Yoder The concert will be presented in Dr. Hugh Hampton Young, eminent surgeon, attended the unveiling of a bust of himself. After the ceremonies a young woman came up to him. "I hope you appreciate," she said "that I have come 50 miles to see your bust unveiled." Dr. Young, with a bow, replied, "I would go a 1,000 miles to see yours." TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD by Ann Davidson EDUCATION SEMINAR Thursday of this week, Miss Anne Albright and Mrs. H. T. Hunter were guest speakers at the Education Seminar. Thep spoke on the National Association of Deans ot Women and the National Association of Guidance and Personel which they attended in Chicago the middle of April. MISS ALBRIGHT SPONSORS GARDEN PARTY Thursday of this week, Miss Anne Albright sponsored a gad- den party honoring Men and Women's House Government Council and the newly elected board in An Evening Rain The sky grows dull, and cold, and grey, And cooling winds begin to blow; To start the treetop's chanting sway; To howl outside my bungalow. The voice of the wind wanes low and soft, And then I hear a sweet refrain; A pleasing sound above my loft. It is the music of the rain. And as the darkness comes; the rain Continues at its rapid flow. My yard becomes a glistening plain Cast in a darkened glow. The lightning flashes all around, To light the earth asunder, And echoes from the clouds rebound The rumbling noise of thunder. I think of how this evening rain Will dense the words anew, And bathe the golden fields of grain With sparkling drops of dew. ■ And then once more in bed I lie, To dream my dreams once more; As spirits of the heavens cry A melody about my door. Charles J. Wells Robertson Hall Garden from 6:45 to 8:00 pjn. Special guests who attended were President and Mrs. Bird, Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Cathey, Mr. and Mrs. EUer, and the student activities committee composed of Miss Hammond, Miss Smith, Miss Hartshorn, Mr. Chris- man, Mr. Farley, Clyde Pressley, and Tom Grogan.
