By Joan Davis Fea:ure Writer The opening of Albright and Benton ries tnis fall brought many new situations and rice, but it also brought the warm, motherly ..lities of new derm hos- :u Douglas and Jther Disbrow. Though different in many Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. ttitude concerning their relationship to i. Says Mrs. Douglas, "I'd lik acquainted with all the gn would like them all to feel they can come in and talk with me at any time." Mrs. Disbrow, In agreement with Mrs. Don s that "this dorm is the girls' home for act nine months and they should feel that it is such." The new hostesses come from different backgrounds. Mrs. Douglas, a native of Goldsboro, North Carolina, lived in both Maryland and Pennsylvania while working with the Civil Service for a period of eight years. She later held the position of food supervisor in various hospitals before accepting a position in Kinston at the State Institution for Retarded Children prior to coming here. Mrs. Disbrow, however, hails from north of the Mason-Dixon line, having spent most of her life in Hartsdale, New York. Born in Missouri, she attended Southwestern Normal School, afterward teaching first grade for a period of five years prior marriage. to her cepted a position as personnel director of Sonotone Corporation before coming to Sylva six years ago. Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Disbrow also differ in their past experiences with young people. Having two grown children of her own, Mrs. Douglas states that she has always had a house full of young people and feels lost without them around. Her daughter Lynette, 22, is married and presently lives in Franklin. Her son, Bobby, is 20 : junior majoring in physics at N. C. State College, whi was selected by the Scienci ors Program for accelerated classes. Mrs. Disbrow says that having no children of her own, she adopted the children of her friends and that she and her late husband sponsored the young peoples' groups of their church for years, working extensively with the junior and senior high school groups. Officially, she had never worked with college age groups before, but feels that her personnel work has adequately prepared her for the task. Both hostesses' first impressions of the campus and of the students were most favorable. "How beautiful it is!" exclaimed Mrs. Douglas. "I have found it to be much more beau tiful than East Carolina, which is near my home." Mrs. Disbrow, commenting on the setting of the campus, says that although the campus is not She later ac- new to her, she does find the mountains lovely and wonderful for afternoon walks. "The girls as a group are very attractive young ladies,'' both agree. "We've never seen nicer, friendlier, more polite girls than these. They are so very conscientious about their appearance. The boys, however, are not as careful about the way they look and are inclined to be much more casual than the girls." Having many adjustm. ■ make, both hostesses were swamped at first, but are now ing to make headway in learning the girls and their names. Mrs. Douglas says that ■ concern at ; is understanding the extent of her duties and successfully fulfilling them. Robbyn's Eye View: Parking's A Problem By Robbyn Morrow News & Feature Editor Homecoming was the biggest and best in the history of WCC. There were many original and decorative displays, thousands of cars, arid a good many people. Alumni were welcomed with signs, speeches, and outstretched parking tickets. The Alumni didn't know that all paved parking area is reserved. When one stops to think, the high percentage of paving and no parking signs placed together on this campus is amazing. Most alumni did, however, see that the area where parking for peons (people who aren't faculty or administration) is permitted, is dangerous. A few perfectly good cars have been rendered permanently useless by the mud. Traffic was unusually heavy — just like in Sylva on Saturday. Despite the special policemen hired for the occasion, things were very confused. Several girls were late Friday and Saturday nights, because they and their dates were trying to make it (walking from Moss's. There was no parking space left after 11:30. There were others late because they couldn't cross the street fast enough to beat the nightly 12:00 lock-up. (The ones who made it risked life and limb in a daring dash to the dorm . . . arroving only to lose their dates in the crowd at the door). From the appearance of the parking lot Saturday night, it seemed that sleeping in the car would have been easier than trying to get out. The parking situation at Albright-Benton, alone, is skyrocketing individual car-maintenance costs. First, there is the cost of paying tickets (For touching a white line; for applying brakes on the road, thus indicating a stop in front of the dorm; for stopping, even mom entarily, at the Albright en trance; for driving on the "grass"). Second, there is the high increased cost of shoes . . . one girl has lost three pairs of shoes walking around the building (past the sign reading "Keep off the Grass"), because they got stuck in the mud. Another has ruined several skirts, wading knee-deep "grass." Maybe we need more grass, or something, and fewer signs? Having few moments of leisure, both ladies nevertheless find time for spare-time activities. Mrs. Douglas enjoys reading and cooking, having spent much time cooking for her children. Mrs. Disbrow has done painting in the past and presently enjoys gardening, outdoor life, and liiking. She has spent much time in Civic work as Chairman of the Gray Ladies of the Red Cross, Secretary of the Community Chest Fund, and treasurer of two school districts. Being mothers of two large families of girls is no easy mat- tnd both new hostesses find themselves quite busy, but also find that they are contended are enjoying being the mothers of so many young ladies. YRC Hears Robert Brown, 11th District GOP Candidate The Young Republicans Club of Western Carolina College was addressed by Mr. Robert Brown, 11th congressional district candidate of the Republican Party, who was guest of honor at the club's regular Monday night meeting. In his speech Brown stated that he was alarmed by the growth of the national government, both in size and power. The size of the total national debt was cited as one of the factors weakening American prestige abroad, as was the lack of decisive leadership in world affairs. "The countries of Latin A- merica are hungry for our leadership," said Brown, "and we are not giving it to them." He also said that the events of recent decades have borne out that America will not accept socialism as such, but will accept it bit by bit under the name of liberalism. Brown also charged that the evidence of election fraud in North Carolina is such as to leave little doubt that the situation calls for action. He stated that Governor Sanford could achieve national prominence by exposing corrupt practices in North Carolina elections. On Campus with MstxQhuIman {Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf," "The Many Loves of Dobie GiUis," etc.) ASSISTANT PROFESSOR WILLIAM PAULK OF THE English Department has been appointed to the Board of Editors of the student issue of THE NORTH CAROLINA ENGLISH TEACHER for a three-year term. In this capacity he will act as judge in the annual creative writing contest sponsored by the professional journal and open to all high school students in the state. The best poetry and essays submitted each year are printed in a special issue of the magazine. Application blanks will bear the names of the editors and their colleges or schools. Paulk will speak Sunday night to the Canterbury Club at St. David's Student Center on "The Oxford Movement in the Episcopal Church." HAPPINESS CAN'T BUY MONEY Can education bring happiness? This is a question that in recent years has caused much lively debate and several hundred stabbings among American college professors. Some contend that if a student's intellect is sufficiently aroused, happiness will automatically follow. Others say that to concentrate on the intellect and ignore the rest of the personality can only lead to misery. I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence the well-known case of Agathe Fusco. Agathe, a forestry major, never got anything less than a straight "A", was awarded her B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) in only two years, her M.S.B. (Master of Sap and Bark) in only three, and her D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms) in only four. Academic glory was hers. Her intellect was the envy of every intellect fan on campus. But was she happy? The answer, alas, was no. Agathe—she knew not why—was miserable, so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking across campus, she was suddenly so overcome with melancholy that she flang herself, weeping, upon the statue of the Founder. By and by a liberal arts major named R. Twinkle Plenty came by with his yoyo. He noted Agathe's condition. "How come you're so unhappy, hey?" said R. Twinkle. "Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arte major,'? replied Agathe peevishly. National Scene... —Contrnued from page 2 would like to eliminate or at least render ineffective. This the President must do, not only to assure acceptance of his program after a delay of almost two years, but to strengthen his own prestige which has suffered in defeat. For this election will establish as fact what political observers have long pondered. That is, what is the real public reaction to the policies of the "New Frontier?" The coming election will be the first time silnce the inauguration of the "New Frontier" that the American public has been able to effectively register its approval or disapproval of the administration. The decision of the voters on November 8th will have a large part in determining the course of the "New Frontier" for the next six years. It will also be a subtle prediction of voter reaction in 1964 and even 1968. Fri. 2i DISCOUNT PER - GALLON - Sat.

"You are unhappy for two reasons. First, because you have been so busy stuffing your intellect that you have gone and starved your psyche. I've got nothing against learning, mind you, but a person oughtn't to neglect the pleasant, gentle amenities of life—the fun things. Have you, for instance, ever been to a dance?" Agathe shook her head. "Have you ever watched a sunset? Written a poem? Smoked a Marlboro Cigarette?" Agathe shook her head. "Well,we'll fix that right now!"said R.Twinkle and gave her a Marlboro and struck a match. She puffed, and then for the first time in twelve or fifteen years, she smiled. "Wow!" she cried. "Marlboros are a fun thing t What flavor! What filter! What pack or box! What a lot to like! From now on I will smoke Marlboros, and never have another unhappy day!" "Hold!" said R Twinkle. "Marlboros alone will not solve your problem—only half of it. Remember I said there were two things making you unhappy?" "Oh, yeah," said Agathe. "What's the other one?*? "How long have you had that bear trap on your foot?*! said R. Twinkle. "I stepped on it during a field trip in my freshman year," said Agathe. "I keep meaning to have it taken off.'! "Allow me," said R. Twinkle and removed it. "Land sakes, what a relief I" said Agathe, now totally happy, and took R Twinkle's hand and led him to a Marlboro vendor's and then to a justice of the peace. Today Agathe is a perfectly fulfilled woman, both intellect- wise and personalitywise. She lives in a darling split-level house with R Twinkle and their 17 children, and she still keeps busy in the forestry game. Only last month, in fact, she became Consultant on Sawdust to the American Butchers Guild, she was named an Honorary Sequoia by the park commissioner of Las Vegas, and she published a best-selling book called I was a Slippery Elm for the FBI. eimiuis The makers of Marlboro arc pleated that Agathe is Anattg out of the woods—and so will you be if your goal is smoking pleasure.
