HEDDEN'S BARBER SHOP Sylva (Under Velt'i) Halloween Once again, Halloween draws nigh to Cullowhee. Of course, most of us won't go "trick or treating," but something will certainly happen. Halloween has not always been a time for fun. In the days of the Druids it was a night of horror—a night when ghosts, witches and demons came out to harm people—a time when fairies and elves placed on some unsuspecting person. The Druids considered the cat a sacred animal, believing it to be the reincarnated soul of a sinful human being. These people also worshipped t: and feared the night. Around the 700's A.D., the Roman Catholic Church • November l as All Sain* a tiem for I tion in the manner ol Saints. Gradually, the old pagan CUStomi were inti Christian feasts. •Out of these ancient rites grew -the traditional bobbing for apples and telling fortun. tales. Many of the "old" la were retold on this occasion. The "Jack-O'-Lantern" comes from an old legend concerning a man named Jack who was kept out of heaven because of his sins, and turned from hell because he had teased the devil. Doomed to roam the earth for eternity, he always carried a lantern. There have been other nomenclature to substitute for the term "Halloween," such as "Snapapple Night" and "Nut- crack Night." But itradition proved the former name the one which remains. Miss Mary Thomas Is Library Cataloguer Mr. Joe E C-N, Barnhart served as business manager of the college annual. He was also president of the Columbia literary Society. During thesj four years he won the Ready Speakers' Medal and the College Commencement Oration Medal. He met Mrs. Barnhart at Carson-Newman where she was a student. Mrs. Barnhart holds a degree from C-N with a major in Music and a minor in English. She currently teaches piano here in Cullowhee. At graduate school, Barnhart belonged to to 'the Boston University Philosophical Society and was a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis. He is presently working on his Doctor's thesis in the early parts of the morning. When asked to relate has own personal philosophy, Barnhart stated that he was a Personalist, explaining that this meant that he "interpreted Veality from a personal analogy rather than from a machine (mechanism) or a force or an organism. It is something like Naturalism. This Parsonalism tries to strike harmony between theism and humanism." Miss Mary C. Thomas is •&ier for Hunter Library. Aithou^i Miss Thomas works largely behind the scenes and is not known by many of the students, she fulfills a vital » in helping to make books available to the students and faculty. It is her task to process, catalogue and shelve the hundreds of books that are purchased monthly by the library.

"The Many Loves of Dobie GUlis", etc.) THE DATING SEASON I have recently returned from a tour of 950,000 American colleges where I made a survey of undergraduate dating customs and sold mechanical dogs, and I have tabulated my findings and I am now prepared to tell you the simple secret of successful dating. The simple secret is simply this: a date is successful when the man knows how to treat the girl. And how does a girl like to be treated? If you want to know, read and remember these four cardinal rules of dating: /. A girl likes to be treated with respect. When you call for your girl, do not drive up in front of the sorority house and yell, "Hey, fat lady!" Get out of your car. Walk respectfully to the door. Knock respectfully. When your girl comes out, tug your forelock and say respectfully, "Good evening, your honor." Then offer her a Marlboro, for what greater respect can you show your girl than to offer Marlboro with its fine flavor and exclusive selectrate filter? It will indicate immediately that you respect her taste, respect her discernment, respect her intelligence. So, good buddies, before- going out on a date, always remember to buy some Marlboros,, available in soft pack or flip-top box in all 60 of the United States and also Cleveland. Baby Sitting Service A baby sitting service has been established by the Student Union. Parents who wish to utilize this service may do so by contacting the SU office. Due to a temporary shortage of workers, parents are asked to request sitters at least one day in advance. Stovall's 5-10-250 Store Next To Jackson County Bank "Where your Dimes have more Cents" WE BACK THE CATS Raymon Stovall, Owner-Manager fi&lm b) ic fefe? b tfce fyctf S. A girl likes a good listener. Do not monopolize the conversation. Let her talk while you listen attentively. Make sure, however, that she is not herself a good listener. I recollect a date I had once with a coed named Greensleeves Sigafoos, a lovely girl, but unfortunately a listener, not a talker. I too was a listener so we just sat all night long, each with his hand cupped over his ear, straining to catch a word, not talking hour after hour until finally a policeman came by and arrested us both for vagrancy. I did a year and a day. She got by with a suspended sentence because she was the sole support of her aged housemother. 5. A girl likes to be taken to nice places. By "nice" places I do not mean expensive places. A girl does not demand luxury. All she asks is a place that is pleasant and gracious. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, for example. Or Mount Rushmore. Or the Taj Mahal. Or the Bureau of Weights and Measures. Find places like these to take your girl. In no circumstances must you take her to an oil-cracking plant. 4- A girl likes a man to be xoell-informed. Come prepared with a few interesting facte that you can drop casually into the conversation. Like this: "Did you know, Snookiepuss, that when cattle, sheep, camels, goats, antelopes, and other members of the cud-chewing family get up, they always get up hind legs first?" Or this: "Are you aware, Hotlips, that corn grows faster at night?" Or this: "By the way, Lover- head, Oslo did not become the capital of Norway till July 11, 1924." If you can slip enough of these nuggets into the conversation before dinner, your date wi" 'toe torpid to eat. Some men save up to a half million i' ... r this way. C 1M1 Uu 8 To the list of thtngt girls like, add the king-size, unfittered Philip Morris Commander. Girls, men—in fact everybody with a taste bud in his head—likes mild, natural Commander, (.v.,.vi.sors with Marlboro of this column. ■
