Proposed Fraternity Continues Struggle Scholarships Available Two $500 cash scholarships are now available for graduate and undergraduate students of business, economics, marketing, advertising and commerce in the first annual "House of Edgeworth Scholarship Contest," it was announced here today.

Winner of the second $500 award will be the graduate student who writes the best marketing plan for selling tobaccos to the college market. Announcing plans for the contest, J. Carroll Taylor, vice- president of Larus & Brother Company, Inc., said, "We would like to encourage advertising and marketing scholarships in our nation's colleges and universities, and we hope tin test will help by aiding worthy students in their education and by offering another opportunity to apply classroom studies to practical business problems." In addition to the cash a- wards, nation-wide publicity in journals of advertising and marketing about the winners will prove valuable in starting the winning students on successful business careers, Mr. Taylor added. Entries, to be judged on the basis of originality, expression and practical merchandising value, must be postmarked no later than midnight, March 15, 1961. Further contest information can be obtained from Larus & Brother Company, Inc., Richmond, Va.

Bulletin The Society for the Advancement of Management held its November meeting on the 9th. Mr. Donald MacDonald of Du- Pont Corporation delivered a very interesting speech. He spoke on a subject related to SAM's theme for the year — "Problems Of Modern Management." Several members commented that Mr. MacDonald's talk was one of the most interesting and instructive' ever delivered at a SAM meeting. SAM's bsuiness placement office is continuing its fine work in conducting interviews for students with representatives of various firms in and around North Carolina. Two representatives of Lockhart Mills, Lock- hart, S. C, were on campus November 10 and 11. They seemed to be very interested in several of the students whom they interviewed. A representative of the Derrin-Milliken Corporation will be on the campus Thursday, November 17, to conduct interviews. Many companies will send representatives to the campus throughout the remainder of the year. All seniors should check the bulletin board in the basement of Stillwell in order to take advantage of this service.

Joe Morgan Cleo Wickham Took Short Vacations Frequently By Jerry Bastarache News Editor They said it couldn't be done. Joe Morgan have fooled the experts and thwarted predictions from all quarters, and will graduate from Wcsterri Carolina —November 23. Although at this time their graduation is not official, the odds have swung strongly to their favor. Seldom does WCC graduate two men of such wide and varied academic background. They have tried the fields of English, Agriculture, Social Science, Journalism and many others, and are presently in the Business Administration field. Both will graduate with a broad range of extra-curricular activities behind them. "Due to a new emphasis put on education recently in the U. S.," says Morgan, "we have been allowed to graduate." Entering WCC together in the summer of 1956, Morgan and Wickham left shortly thereafter for a brief "vacation." After a quarters' absence, they returned in the fall with "a much bet- . on life." In the spring of '57, once again they took a short "vacation." At this time, the odds were approximately five to one against either of them graduating from WCC. Undaunted, they re-entered school in the winter of the same year, their desire to beautify the campus leading them to work 100 nours on the baseball field. In their own words, they wanted to "make a better place to be remembered." Then, in 1958, Morgan transferred to the University of Tennessee. Cleo lasted on alone, but neither could s*and the separation. So, in '59, after taking another short "vacation" from Tennessee, Joe returned in the spring. That quarter, both began looking at travel folders again, and remained abroad until the following winter quarter. By then, the odds against their graduation had reached a.n estimated nine to one. Disregarding these overwhelming odds, Morgan and Wickham had returned with an iron determination to complete their education at all costs. This childhood dream will be realized next week, barring the unexpected. Concerning their personal lives, Morgan remarked, "We are both atheists," but Cleo adamantly objected to being classified as such. Asked if he felt he had developed his capabilities, Cleo replied seriously, "Due to a pronounced lack of competitive spirit in the billiard parlor, my true ability was not taxed to any great degree." Commenting on the instructors, Morgan declared, "I feel that the instructors have passed insurmountable objectives by inducing knowledge to penetrate our minds, clouded with herbs as they are. Of course, this is a biased opinion. Wait a minute, don't print the part . . . etc." When asked who they felt was most responsible for giving the initiative to continue on to graduation, they replied in chorus, nostalgically, "All the students and faculty members on the Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee who felt that work hours were better than dismissal." As for the things that bothered them most on campus, the isolated location and Don Gentry's column rated tops. Morgan remarked, "We are both glad that 'The Way The Wind Blows' is away from us." Cleo stated, "I agree." Then, staring blankly, Cleo made one last final remark concerning his experiences here at WCC, because, as he said, "It will be my last." "I would like to thank everyone," the portly senior said, "for their understanding and guidance here at WCC. I am sure it will help us to reach our goal in our future endeavors." J/ you close your ears and eyes to the world and open only your mouth, your head will soon be emptied. . . . PROF. HOUND.

C. Executive Committee Of YDC To Function The Executive Committee, governing body of the Young Democrats Club, officially began functioning last week. Charlie Smith, organizer of the Western Carolina club, largest college group in the state and ever on record, suggested that the Executive Committee be formed to rule over the YDC and that the committee elect a chairman. Upon the announcement that Smith was leaving school at the end of the fall quarter to fulfill a six months military obligation, the committee voted freshman Pete Schoonderwood of Hendersonville in as chairman. Schoonderwood ran against freshman Pete Isserman of New Jersey. The two candidates were selected on the basis of work done for the club since the quarter began. Both candidates were allowed to review their contributions to the club. Following the election of the chairman, Douglas (Tiny) Turner was nominated to oppose Isserman for the job of vice- chairman. Isserman won this position in a close race. About 20 members of the Executive Committee were present for the elections. It was so placed into the YDC constitution that the Executive Committee may remove any member from said committee for lack of interest or failure to do any appointed job. The group also agreed to confine the committee's membership to 25 including both male and female members. Smith moved that Marvin Cole, faculty sponsor, be made a membeT of this committee with voting power. He further announced the appointment of Jerry Buchanan of Waynes- ville as secretary and asked that he be succeeded as president. A vice-pdesident was Wiest, who was unable to participate fully as an officer due to football. The committee endorsed Skeeter Redden of Hendersonville as president and Art Fields as vice-president. These two were unanimously elected at a club meeting. Others nominated for the presidency included Jerry Bastarache, who declined the nomination in order to run for editor of The Western Carolinian this spring, and Art Fields, who delined in order to assume another campus post. Both will remain on the Executive Committee. The YDC officers now are Redden, president; Field, vice- president; Deacon Plemmons, vice-president; Buchanan, secretary; and Zane Brisson, treasurer. Smith, newly elected college vice-president, rules over N.Y.C. Destroyed April 1-—New York City was destroyed last night in a devastating hail of Russian atomic missiles. The Department of Defense estimates that some six million people lost their lives in the holacaust. Most of the city, including the Bronx, Queens and Brookyn was laid waste. The Brooklyn Navy Yard was completely annihilated. Radiation is spreading rapidly throughout lower New York State, eastern Connecticut and northern New Jersey. Newark and Jersey City have been completely evacuated, and e- mergency evacuation measures are being taken in the entire vicinity. The United Nations met in the early hours of this morning, declaring that the Soviet Union had acted belligerently. President Eisenhower, meeting with Congress, has issued a letter of strong reprimand to the Soviets, demanding an immediate apol- gy. The Russian Embassy in Washington will be contacted as soon as possible concerning the incident. all college YDC's in the state. Present Executive Committee members are: Schoonderwood, Isserman, Smith, Redden, Field] Bastarache, Brisson, Plemmons, Cole, Buchanan, Turner, Sam Haycraft, Don Haynes, Frank Bradley, Leonard Lemmons, Freddy Wood, Hugh Campbell, Pat Hodges, Jane Coggins, Anna Jean Sharpe, Woody Dillingham. This list includes 21 members. Four additional members will be voted to the committee in the near future.
