Vocational Meeting
Held On Campus
Representatives from thirty
eight colleges and universities
from all sections of the United
States crowded the campus of
the University of North Caro-
lina for the ISS-CPU Confer-
ence held in Chapel Hill this
past week-end.
Political, social, and economic
phases of the war were selected
as topics for discussion with
each delegate choosing the field
in which he was most interest-
ed. The meeting got under way
with well-informed specialists
in each field acting as leaders
and instigators of a group dis-
russion for a contribution of
ideas and objections as set
forth by the representatives.
Dominating the discussion on
"campus defense" were the re-
ports made by individual dele-
gates from every college con-
cerning the results of the work
which they had undertaken in
� connection with national de-
� fense.

On January 19-23. Miss Ka-
therine Holtzclaw and Miss M-
bel Lacy of the Home Econom-
ics Department represented
E. C. T. C. and eastern North
Carolina at a convention for
Home Economics workers of the
South. The purpose of the meet-
was to assist Home Economics
teachers, who in turn will assist
members of their community, to
participate successfully in the
war efforts of civilian defense.
Several speakers of national
fame conducted the lectures
and discussion groups. These
speakers stressed the import-
ance of nutrition, consumer edu-
cation and home nursing as fac-
tors which Home Economics
high school teachers could aid
students and adults in develop-
ing an intelligent outlook and
adaptation to the conditions of
the present emergency. Both
Miss Holtclaw and Miss Lacy
came back inspired to carry out
some of the suggestions which
were made at the convention.
However, several of the pro-
grams which were advocated
at the meeting have alreadv
been started at E. C. T. C. and
in the communities of eastern
North Carolina. Gardening was
particularly stressed and it is
interesting to note that out of
the twelve states represented,
E. C. T. C. was the only one
who could claim a gardening
course in their curriculum.
On Tuesday, February 3, at
a meeting of all senior Home
Economics students, Miss Holtz-
claw and Miss Lacy reported
briefly the outstanding parts
of the meeting. Miss Holtzclaw
said that she became very in-
pired at the meeting, almost
as much as an illustration which
a negro preacher used when
praying, "0 Lord, annoint him
with the kerosene of Thy sal-
vation and set him on fire
