Senator West, speaking in support
of his bill, told the assembled student
leaders, "Perhaps this will bring

and methods in holding exams
West further told the senators, "I
think that the least that will come
from this investigation will be a
program of education, to reorient
students and faculty as to what in-
tegrity means, and what standards
people must uphold
"My purpose in presenting this
bill commented West, "was due to
the fact that I had received so many
equests from my fellow students to
the effect that something must be
done about this matter, and they
didn't know what to do themselves.
It is a student problem, and the
S. 0. A. is the logical place to take
such a problem
Student Government President
Dallas Wells was high in his praise
of the bill, saying, "This bill has a
great deal of merit, and it may lead
to a rebirth of integrity here at
East Carolina
Dean James H. Tucker, the faculty
advisor to the Student Government
Association, said of the action, "A
lot of good may come of this, how-
ever, just passing it won't cause
something to come out of it. The
fact that the faculty and administra-
tion are vitally interested in this
problem will be a great help in mak-
ing something develop
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, President of
Fast Carolina, in expressing his views
on the subject, said that the adminis-
tration's Policies Committee has pass-
ed a similar bill, and that he (Dr.
Jenkins) had already appointed the
faculty members to compose the
study committee, and had asked the
SGA president to appoint the stu-
dent committee members. Dr. Jen-
kins further said, in relation to the
I.ossible outcome of the actions to be
taken by the committee. "We hope
that it will cause cheating to dis-
appear from our campus

October.
Dr. Jenkins, former Dean and Vice
Presides of the college, replaces

Dr. Holt stated about his new ap-
pointment, "I am pleased with my
new position, and appreciate the con-
fidence Dr. Jenkins and the Board of
Trustees have placed me Dr. Jen-
kins has done such an excellent job

The S. G. A. Student Emergency
Loan Fund, which was introduced by
President Dallas Wells before the
Christmas holidays, became effec-
tive on January 8. The loan fund
operates in this manner:
If a student has a need, he may
go to Dean White or Dean Mallory,
depending upon sex. Jle fills out an
application -blank and signs a note.
He may get up to twenty-five dol-
lars. At the end of thirty days, he
must have made some effort to pay
the money back.
On January 8, five hundred dollars
was set aside for the Fund. It will
be supplemented if the need arisos.
As a preventive measure to insure
against loss, ten thousand dollars
was withdrawn from the S. G. A.
reserve and placed in the First Fed-
eral Savings and Loan and the Home
Savings and Loan.

In a syndicated article on Con-
s-ressman Mever, Marquis Childs

"We have screened twenty-seven

sible posts in other states. The qual-

Following the report by the com-
mittee, board member Fred Willets
made the motion to accept the com-
mittee's report and nominated Dr.
Jenkins for president. Carl Goerch,
who seconded the motion, said, "I
think we would be neglecting our
duty to the college if we don't accept
this man
After the second another board
member, James Whitfield, state edi-
tor for the News and Observer, sug-
gested that Dr. Jenkins leave the
room during the discussion. The dis-
cussion, which lasted only a few
minutes was interrupted briefly
when Belk objected to making public
the list of names considered for the
job. The list was shown to the board
members who wished to see it in-
dividually.
Following the discussion, chair-
man of the Board J. H. Waldrop
called for a vote and Dr. Jenkins
was unanimously elected. Upon re-
entering the room, the new president
?sked those present to join him in

IYuesdale, Avery, Turner Star
ECC Playhouse To Present Broadway Drama
A young teenager's diary of her
war experiences proved to be of more
importance than her own amusement
when it became the basis for the
play, The Diary of Anne Frank. Now
the East Carolina Playhouse tries
its skill with the Broadway drama
which opens on January 28.
The play's action occurs in the
attic of a Dutch home, where eight
people spend over two years away
from the outside world. Their mere
existence depends on never being dis-
covered by the enemy, the Nazis.
Anne Frank, the youngest of the
inhabitants and the author of the
celebrated diary, is portrayed by
Playhouse amateur, Juanita Trues-
dale. Anne seems to be the only mem-
with life itself.
Anne's family is composed of an
understanding mother and loving fa-
ther, Ben Avery, another newcomer,
and Leigh Dobson, last seen in My
Three Angels, and her older and
quieter sister, Margot enacted by
Joanne Eagles, who appeared in the
freshman play, The Night Club.
The other family includes (Anne's
first and last love, Peter Van Daan
portrayed by Albert Turner, with
Doming Jenkins and Jim Roper cast
as his parents. The remaining recluse
is Dr. Dussel, David Thrift. Doris
Robbins and Gerald Harrell fill the
roles of Miep Gies and Mr. Kraler,
helpers to the refugees.
Dr. J. A. Withev is. directing his

James Brewer acts as technical dir-
ector with 'Rose Marie Gornto work-

Three times a graduate of the
University of North Carolina, Home
holds the A. B the M. A. and the
Ed.D. degrees from the institution.
His major areas of study there were
administration and supervision in the
secondary schools and guidance.
Since 1936, Dr. Home has been
connected with schools and colleges
in this state. He began his career aa
an educator at the Grainger High
School, Kinston, where he taught
chemistry and physics for six years.
After a year as principal of the
Polkton High School, he returned to
Kinston as principal of the Grainger
High School, a position which he held
for the ten years preceding his join-
ing the East Carolina faculty in
1957. He taught at Appalachian
State Teachers College during the
summer sessions of 1955 and 1956.
During World War II he served
with the 90th Infantry Division,
315th Combat Engineer Battalion, in
the European Theater of Operations.
He was awarded six campaign stars,
the Bronze Arrowhead for the Nor-
mandy Invasion, the Purple Heart,
Bronze Star, and Silver Star.

activities both in and out of the

May lay Activity
A motion was passed that May
Day will not be celebrated at East
Carolina College this year. S. G. A.
President Dallas Wells said, "During
the present administration it has
been the policy to try to obtain for
the students the very most for their
money The Student Senate feels
that in past years there has not been
enough interest in this event to merit
the money being spent on this gala
weekend.
"Last year very few people attend-
ed May Day and there was consider-
able expense both to the S. G. A.
and the girls participating in the
court explained Wells. The S. G. A.
realizes that May Day adds much
color to any campus, however, due
to our increasing size and over-
crowded Spring calendar schedule,
attendance in the past few years has
steadily diminished, he says.
Taking all this into consideration,
the S G. A after much debate, un-
animously voted to dispose of May
Day for this year. If, in the future,
the Student Government wishes to
re-establish this event, it can be
easily done.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 14,
Leader Well Qualified
For New Position Here
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, recently elected
President of East Carolina College, ha be-
hind him twelve years of administrative
duties on this campus. No other man could
be more qualified to lead the college through
a new era of growth and achievement than
our own Dr. Jenkins.
A man o scholarship with a true phil-
osophy of education, Dr. Jenkins must lead
E.C.C. through a crucial period in which
many people clamor that "East Carolina
should stop growing and take her rightful
place in North Carolina's educational com-
munity that "East Carolina has quanity
and not quality that "East Carolina s
growth in numbers should be matched by its
advance in academic prestige
President Jenkins is the man to stand
up to these attacks. We believe that though
the curriculum may expand from the under-
graduate school throughout the graduate
school, it will also "tighten up" or grow
tougher. "Crip" courses will be investigated.
Testing measures and procedures will be
improved. Teaching methods of some pro-
fessors may even be questioned.
And our new President is an avowed
foe of the cheating jungle found here on our
campus. With him as our leader, we may
begin to clear up our cheating problem.
Students should also be glad to know
that Dr. Jenkins has promised more self-
government and new freedoms in making
decisions in student disciplinary cases. There
will be more satisfaction throughout the cam-
pus when controversial issues are decided
bv the students themselves.
As do thousands of other people in the
state, we expect great things from Dr. Jen-
kins. We think that we will not be disap-
pointed, not only because of his ability and
past experience in the educational and the
administrative fields, but also because he is
interested in this college as a community of
people, not merely as an institution of learn-
ing. He realizes that the institution is the
leople within it.
Senate To Investigate
Cheating Practices
Congratulations to Senator Barney West
for his move for a senatorial investigating
committee on cheating.
This seems to be the year for Senate
probes and exposes i.e. . . . quiz show scan-
dals, payola, cranberries, etc. With lead stor-
ies and'blaring banner headlines, the find-
ings of U.S. Senate investigating committees
have lead not only to a more informed and
less naive public, but also to a crackdown
in unfair and unethical practices.
If the E.C.C. Senate committee is not
just a committee in name only and if the
members are sincere in their efforts to com-
plete a thorough investigation, this could be
the most effective tool in helping to clear
up the cheating problem on this campus.
When the work of the committee is done,
they will perhaps be the most informed group
of persons on the subject of cheating here.
Therefore, we mandate them to give a re-
port of their findings to the student public
via the newspaper and to make recommenda-
tion for the solution of the problem.
We pledge our support to the committee
to expedite their work in any way that we
may be of service.
Already in an interview with an East
Carolinian reporter, President Leo W. Jen-
kins has claimed that he will work to end
cheating. We know that he, too, will give
his firm support to the committee.
And to be sure, the rest of the admin-
istration, and the faculty members are as
anxious as students to get our problem
cleared up.
So with such a large backing, success
is almost inevitable!
ANOTHER SPACE RACE
Anti-Education Proves To Be
False Concept Of Success
By JASPER JONES
People interested in . cause, of geography, or English) go.ng to do
Mystery Ends
New Prexy May Have
Rough Time Ahead
cheating in American colleges should
read "American Disgrace: College
Cheating" in January 9 Saturday
Evening Post. Although Dr. Jerome
Ellison, the author of the article, oc-
casionally gets carried away descri-
bing cheating techniques ("Data has
been written on human skinpalm,
or in the case of women students,
inside the leg above the knee"), he
makes it clear that "anti-education"
is responsible for much cheating.
Anti-education is a faith that per-
vades institutions of higher educa-
tion all over the country. It is a
philosophy resulting from a tradi-
tional American contempt of "book
learning" and a general love of me-
diocrity. The creed of collegiate anti-
educationists is, "Be a good guy (or
a well-rounded person it is now),
dress well, know the latest caimpus
slang, but don't let anybody think
you crack the books too much, and
it's O. K. to cheat a little here and
there to pull through The anti-
educationists are always ready with
a quick smile and a snide remark
about the fools who study and work.
Why slave away four years when
you'll get through anyway?
Though these people don't usually
discuss their cheating habits, it's
generally agreed that its fine to
cheat if it means passing or making
a good grade on a course "because
after all, what good is history (or
me when I graduate and start work-
ing for a living? The emphasis is
on getting that diploma anyway; and
when you've got it, nobody's going
to peek around and see how you got
it
Anti-education is a faith of lazi-
ness and opportunism and a false
conception of personal success. It's
members are not only the campus
hums but the hand-shaking, grinning
people who waste time in "activities"
and running for this position or that,
depending upon the contacts it pro-
vides, on the theory that college is
where you learn to "get ahead
Anti-educationists are slugs who
drag class standards down and pre-
vent interested students from prog-
lessing as quickly as they should.
Also many would-be honest students
change their attitudes toward cheat-
ing when they find that other stu-
dents who are popular treat educa-
tion lightly and jump at an oppor-
tunity to cheat. It's really very easy
to become an anti-educationist.
Fortunately, there is now s. move-
ment in America, especially on samll-
er campuses, to de-glamorize the
easy-going "College Joe" and re-
emphasize the importance of scholar-
ship. Though the movement is prog-

Well, the mystery has finally come
to an end, and East Carolina has a
new president, Dr. Leo W. Jenkins.
It has been rather interesting to
watoh the people around the cam-
pus community during the past
month or so. The little discussion
groups, knotted up in different
places, speaking in low tones, the
anxious pitch of voices. . . the in-
quisitive looks.
Although it seems that from the
beginning, all eyes have been foc-
used on Dr. Jenkins, expecting im-
mediate succession, this has been one
of the most heated elections that
has ever, in any way, been connected
with East Carolina, to our knowl-
edge. So, here again we see that
not everything always meets the eye.
To fill the shoes of Dr. Messick
will be a difficult job. That is a
known fact. Then the question arises
in your mind, can Dr. Jenkins carry
on, effectively, the program of prog-
ress that has so far been brilliantly
executed by Dr. Messick,
Of course, we cannot foretell the
future, we leave such things as that
to the soothsayers and mystics. But
we do, however, have an opinion as
td what the future may ihold, and so
therefore we say, in all earnestness,
that Dr. Jenkins, as President of
this institution may have "a rough
row to hoe
There is always opposition to a
prominent figure. There is always
somebody who stands on the back
row and criticises, saying he would
do thus and so if he were in that
man's position. There will also be
pressure, the same kind of pressure
that has given many a good man
grey hair.
Despite the conflicting elements
that have arisen during his ascen-
Prince Writes Article
A special feature of the January
issue , of North Carolina Education
is a full-length airticle "So you
want a language laboratory?" writ-
ten by Dr. J. Roy Prince of the fac-
ulty of the Foreign Language De-
partment. The article describes the
various types of language laborato-
ries, how small or how large they
can be, how they work, what they
will or will not do and gives advice
for schools intending to establish one.
North Carolina Education is the
official magazine of the North Caro-
lina Education Association, the or-
ganization of North Carolina high
school and college teachers.
Dr. Prince will be director of the
language laboratory here. "We had
hoped to have it in by December 1
past, but it now appears that it will
be June before we can get it ex-
plained Dr. Prince.
sion, it is our belief that the people
who made the selection of Dr. Jen-
kins knew much more about what
they were doing than did the major-
ity of the people who criticized their
actions. The Board of Trustees and
their selection committee made their
choice with the best interests of the
school first and foremost in their
minds.
And so, therefore, in our small
way, we would like to extend to the
rew President of East Carolina Col-
lege, our heartiest congratulations,
and a great big "good luck
Integration Shows
Surprising Results
A majorand credibleargument
against racial integration in the
schools is that it buys an uneasy
equality at the expense of poorer
education for both white and Negro
students. The theory is that learning
is slowed down for white students
without being speeded up for
Negroes.
A current report of the Southern
Regional Council quotes some spe-
cific facts on this subject made pub-
lic earlier this fall by Omer Car-
michael, superintendent of Louisville
public schools.
Mr. Carmichael wisely skirts the
endless anthropological arguments
about racial capacity. He states that
he is only qualified to report on
"achievement not "ability
But in the field of "achievement
he declares, there is no doubt as to
what happened in Louisville:
1. It was found in 1966 that seg-
regated Negro children were from
1 to 2 years behind their white op-
posite numbers.
2. After two years of integration
there was a "slight improvement for
the whites; a substantial improve-
ment for the Negroes In other
words the gap created by unequal
"separate but equal" facilities began
to be closedibut not at the expense
of the previously better educated
white pupils. They too improved
their learningcause unknown.
3. Dr. Carmichael reports also
that students remaining in all-Negro
schools showed marked improve-
ment.
It cannot 'be proven that what hap-
pened in Louisville would happen
everywhere. But the fact that it hap-
pened so decisively there should be
cause for hope among the great ma-
jority of good-hearted citizens who
have been sincerely troubled about
the quality of education after inte-
gration begins in any community.

League Awards Scholarships
Three scholarships of $1,000 each,
one in Pine Arts, one in Music Com-
position, and one in Creative Liter-
ature, for one year of advanced
training have been announced by the
National League of American Pen
Women.
The candidates are to be selected
on the basis of conspicuous creative
talent. These scholarships are com-
petitive and will be awarded by a
competent jury chosen by the "Lea-
gue's Committee on Scholarships" in
each of the three creative fields re-
presented by the scholarships.
The following rules will govern the
application for and administration
of the scholarships. The accredited
college will make the recommenda-
tion of a candidate and apply to the
National League of American Pen
Women for its consideration on or
before March 10, 1960. The college
may apply for one or more of the
scholarships but may not nominate
more than one candidate for con-
sideration in a given field. Each
student candidate recommended must
be a member of the graduating class
of the college for the academic year,
1959-60.
The amount of the scholarship
($1,000) will be paid to the institu-
tion selected by the successful candi-
date, upon her appointment and ac-
ceptance by that institution. After
tuition and fees for each of the two
semesters of the academic year have
been deducted by the institution
selected the scholar will receive
through the institution the remainder
of the fund in eight equal install-
ments beginning October 1 and run-
ning through May 1.
With each recommendation for the
scholarship the college or conserva-
tory making it shall submit:
(a) a signed application (b) a
sample of the student's work (c) a
brief biography of the student, (d)
the student's signed application of
intent to pursue advanced work at a
selected institution.
Well, it's over for a while at least
The Board of Trustees finally met and made
a decision. Thing's will settle down again
for a while . . . maybe.
But we hope not. We hope the new P:
ident will keep things ii an uproar. This
man has a challenge to meet. A big challenge.
In a sense, the future of eastern North
Carolina rests in his hands. He alone must
make the final decision on most of the major
issues which affect us directly now and will
influence us extensively in the future.
He will influence entrance examinations.
Will they be more selective or not? He will
shed light on the scholastic standards. Will
they go up, down, or remain the same? He
will be held responsible for the cheating
practices and ethical standards of over 4000
students. How will he answer?
It is to him the people of North Caro-
lina will look when another "Old Yellow"
(boy, that expression has been worn out.
hasn't it?) occurs. He is the one who will ap-
peal for money to those who seem to have
made themselves the guardians and nurse-
maids for the greater university.
He is the one responsible for turning
the high school hot rodders into a reasonable
facsimile of a scholar.
He must satisfy department heads (who,
we understand, can be quite indignant at
times), and listen to the grips of alumni.
In short, he is no longer Dr. Jenkins . . .
he is now "president of East Carolina Col-
lege" and will be judged as such whether
he is behind his desk, down town buying
groceries, at home or away.
In other worda, he has been pfiaced
in the position of a hungrry tomcat trying
to eat a piece of raw fish in a room full of
rocking chairs. He's going to have to be
pretty alert.
Now if that cat fools around with all
those rocking chairs long enough, he'll get
himself in a clumsy situation sooner or later.
But if he'll just quietly pad over to one cor-
ner and work on that piece of fish (in a man-
ner fitting to a hungry tomcat) he'll make
much more progress. Those rocking chairs
will take care of themselves anyway.
And so this week we tip our hat to a
man with his hands full.

and crusading for a com-

At that time many teachers had

W light was principal of a
. i school in Baltimore where he
i won a reputation as a promising
and progressive educator. A man of
high idea of marked executive abili-
ty, and of unusual foresight and
courage, he guided the progress of
the school from 1909 until his death
in 1934.
The College opened with a faculty
of 13, and 123 students, but during
Dr. Wright's administration it g!ew
in physical facilities, numbers, and
expanded and enlarged to meet tne
growing needs of the section. In 1920
it was authorized to offer a four-
year course leading to a degree, and
Robert II. Wright
the next year the name was changed
to Easl Carolina Teachers College.
During his presidency the college
also Was authorized to offer both
the bachelor's and the master's de-
grees and grew in influence and pres-
tige.
The enrollment for the three terms
m 1934 was 1,013 and throughout
those earl) years the college was con-
stantly restricted by lack of dormi-
tories. More were built and still many
of the men students were forced to
live in town or to commute. The plant
had grown to seventeen buildings
and was spread over 100 acres.
Meadows Succeeds Wright
Dr. Leon R. Meadows, President
from 1934 until 1944, who succeeded
Dr. Wright, was appointed Acting
President following Dr. Wright's
sudden death and was later elected
to the Presidency. Joining the staff
i 1910, Dr. Meadows served as
head of the College Knglish Depart
ment for many years. He was a
graduate of Baylor University and
held the Ph.D. from Yale.
Di. Meadows administration was
during the depression years, and was
marked by continuous salary cuts for
state employees. Very little building
was undertaken, although in 1938-39
Flanagan Building was erected,
through the help of the PWA funds.
A full scale program of campus
planting, landscaping and beauti-
fication was also begun, as well as
campus improvements such as paving
walks and driveways.
During this decade instruction in
industrial arts was offered, and the
artment of business education
housed on the third floor of Austin,
,vas established. Significant in the
d velopment of the college program
w as that the college in 1941 was
authorised to offer the liberal arts,
now the A. B. degree.
It was during Dr. Meadows admin-
istration that the college, as far as
enrollment was concerned, became
leally coeducational. The men stu-
dents enrolled during that period re-
presented a four hundred percent in-
i lease over any previous time.
McGinnis Acting President
Upon Dr. Meadows retirement, Dr.
Howard J. McGinnis, acted as Pres-
ident from June 1944 until Septem-
I er, 1946. At the time of his ap-
? ointment as Acting President, Dr.
McGinnis was Registrar of the Col-
lege. Prior to coming to East Caro-
lina in 1927 he had served as Presi-
ient of West Library State Teachers
College in West Virginia.
During these war years, critical
and trying, the enrollment of men
a , of course, smaller. Some mem-
ber of the faculty and staff as well
as the men students, entered the
set vice. However, following the war,
veterans began to enroll and so great
was the demand for campus housing
for men students that in 1946, Wilson
Hall, being used for women, was
taken over for men students . . .
which was its original purpose. Dur-
ing Dr. McGinnis' administration
the College was for the first time
given a full-time Alumni Secretary
and closer liaison was made possible
between former graduates and their
Alma Mater.
Dr. McGinnis is an M.A. graduate
from the University of Chicago and
has the Ph.D. degree from George
Pealnxly College. After a long and
valuable career at the College, Dr.
McGinnis retired and now lives in
Greenville. As a President Emeritus
he takes a lively interest in all col-
lege affairs.
Cooke President For Year
Dr. Dennis H. Cooke, a member
of the faculty at George Peabody
College for teachers in Nashville,
Tenn then accepted the Presidency.
He has the M.E. degree from Duke
University and the Ph.D. from Pea-
body. Though be was at East Caro-
lina for only a year, be proved
a resourceful and courageous ad-
ministrative leader. During his ad-
ministration, various of the progres-
sive trends of the past dozen years
begun.
Following his resignation, Dr.
Cooke accepted a position as head
of the educational department at
Woman's College. Later he served
as President of High Point College,
which position he resigned last year
to return to teaching.
Messick Begins Eventful Era
In 1947, after Dr. Cooke's resigna-
tion, Dr. John Decatur Messick, like
Dr. Wright a native of the eastern
section of N. C. accepted the office
of president. He set about his duties
at East Carolina with energy, initia-
tive, and ambition. Under his leader-
ship the college has with mounting
success followed its ideal of giving
the state the best type of service to
education.
Dr. Messick's experience as a
"school man" began in 1922, after
his graduation from Elon College,
when he became principal of the
South River Consolidated Schools in
Wade, N. C. He was there four years
before becoming principal at Tren-
ton, N. C. where he stayed until 1929.
While at Wade and Trenton, Dr.
Messick did graduate work at the
University of North Carolina, and
then moved his studies to New York
University where he received his
doctorate in administration and su-
pervision of schools in 1934.
While working on his doctorate,
the Beaufort County native was su-
perintendent of schools in Spencer,
which he left in 1935 after six years
on the job to become dean of instruc-
tion at Elon College, his alma mater
which honored him with an honorary
doctorate in 1948. He was also nam-
ed Elon's outstanding ahimnus the
ear he received the honorary degree.
In 1944 Dr. Messick left Elon Col-
lege to become dean of instruction
and administrative assistant to the
president of Montclair, N. J. State
Teachers College. From there he came
to Greenville in 1947 to become pres-
ident of East Carolina College.
In 1959 Dr. Messick resigned as
president in order to assume the
position of assistant director of the
National Committee on Special Ed-
ucation and Rehabilitation in Wash-
ington, D.C.
Jenkins Assumes Duties

"LITTLE STORIES WITH BIG MORALS"
First Little Story
tnee upon h time a derm an exchange student from old Heidel-
berg came to an American university. He lived in the men's
dormitory of the great American university. He was a fine,
decent young man and all the other young men in the dormitory
of the great American university tried very hard to make
ods with him, but, unfortunately, he was so shy that he
ised all their invitations to join their bull sessions. After a
while his dormitory mates got tired of asking him and so the
poor crman exchange student, alas, spent every evening alone
m his room.
One night while sitting all alone in his room, he smelled the
most delicious aroma coming from the room next door. Con-
quering his shyness, he walked to the room next door and there
saw a bunch of his dormitory mates sitting around and dis-
cussing literature, art, culture, and like that. They were ail
making Marlboro cigarettes, which accounts for the delicious
aroma smelled by the 0UlHISII exchange student.
kt rfWfc'
Timidly, he entered the room. "Excuse me he said, "but
wliat is that marvelous smell I smell?"
"It's our good Marlboro cigarettes cried the men, who were
named Fun-loving Ned, Happy Harry, Jolly Jim, and Tol'able
lavid.
So the C.ennan exchange student took a Marlboro and en-
ed those letter makin's, that finer filter, that smooth, hearty
ilavor, and soon he was comfortable and easy and lost his
Front that night forward, whenever he smelled the good smell
of Marlboro cigarettes, he always went next door and joined
the bull session.
MORAL: WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, THERE'S MEYER
Second Little Story
Once upon a time there was an Indian brave named Walter T.
Muskrat who had a squaw named Margaret Giggling Water
Margaret was sort of a mess but she sure could make beaded
moccasins. Everv day she whipped up a brand-new pair of
beaded moccasins for Walter, which were so gorgeous that al
the Indian maids on the reservation grew giddy with admiration.
Well, sir, Margaret got pretty tense about all the girls making
eyes at Walter and one night they had a terrible quarrel.
Walter flew into a rage and slapped her on the wrist, whereupon
she started crying like all get-out and went home to her mother
and never came back. ,
"Good riddance said Walter, but alas, he soon found out
how wrong he was, for the Indian maids were Watty nv
terested in him, only in his moccasins, and when he stopped
showing up with a new pair every day they quickly gave him
the yo-heave-ho. Today he is a broken man, sitting all alone in
his tepee and muttering ancient Ute curses.
MORAL: DON'T FIGHT THE HAND THAT BEADS YOU
Third Little Story
Once there was a lion which was a very quiet tion. In fact, the
only time it ever made a sound was when it had a toothache.

Nancy Alford, Frosty Smith and
Dixie Wilson recently returned from
the 18th Ecumenical Student Confer-
ence on the Christian World Mission.
They attended the quadrennial
conference of the World Student
Christian Federation, formerly Wor-
ld Student Volunteer Movement,
from December 27 to January 2 in
Athens, Ohio on the campus of the
University of Ohio.
More than 3600 students repre-
senting 77 countries other than the
United States were in attendance at
the inter-racial, inter-denominational
conference.
"The Sign of Jonah a drams,
was presented by Union Theological
Seminary of New York City. This
play pictured the guilt of mankind,
his trial and the verdict "guilty
Other real true-life dramas ' were
presented which depicted some of the
frontiers discussed at the conference.
Each day of the conference was
characterized by a Biblical address by
Bishop Lesslie Newbigin, missionary
to India; festival of Nations pro-
gram where each country presented
their native folk songs, dances and
dress; emphasis upon one of the nine
different frontiers by an outstanding
person in each particular frontier
and reports from students who had
experienced these frontiers; fireside
discussions which included education,
singing of Negro spirituals, discus-
sions of customs and conditions in
"ther countries and more than one-
hundred other topics. Music for the
conference was furnished by a 140
voice international choir.
Dr. Kenneth Scott Latourette, pro-
fessor at Yale University, speaking
of technological upheavel told the
tui'ents that the scientists who made
all the modern inventions "seem un-
able to control them .As he com-
pared the U.S. with conditions in
other countries he asked, "Why
should we in this country work only
30 hours a week and enjoy the high-
est standard of living while those
in other countries work 60 hours and
barely survive?" Or. Kermit Elby of
the University of Chicago discussed
the effect of an agricultural and fac-
tory way of life and others in terms
of the technological upheavel in
U.S.
Dr. Martin Luther King speaking
on racial tensions told the conference
"We face a crisis today in race re-
lations He continued by saying that
"racial injustice is not only a prob-
lem in the UJ3. but the world over
King challenged the audience by add-
ing that "the world in which we live
is geographically one and we are
challenged to make it spiritually one.
The aim must never be to defeat the
white man but to win his love and
respect
Speaking of the militant non-
Christian beliefs such as Hinduism
and Buddhism, Rev. Harry Daniel
reminded them that "Christian life
is the response of the 'I love you of
God
Upon asking these three girls sent
to the conference by the YWCA,
they replied that, "talking with stu-
dents from Japan, Korea, Jordan, In-
dia and other countries concerning
their feelings and opinions toward
