Dr. G. B. Haneoek Speaks to Class On Negro Problems
S. T. C. Alumna Wins Literarv Honors For "Another Day"
Dr. G. B. Hancock gave a brief talk to the Sociology classes and held a discussion in the small auditorium May 18th, 1938 at 4:00 on. He said that there were many things encouraging one to feel that the white man is heading toward a better understanding of the Negro, and also there were some things that make one feel very sad. Dr. Hancock pointed out that the best way for the white man to help the Negro is to give him a good example to live by. He said that until there could be a better understanding between the Negro and the white man. it was rather hard to help the situation. He felt that the attitude of the white man is changing considerably which is very favorable. There cut be no understanding between the races as long as the white man is so antagonistic toward the Negro. He said that the Negro had become fully Americanized and was not accepting Communism today. The Negro has American ideas and attitudes. He is working very hard to help his race. He said that not only has the white man to help, but the Negro has to help himself. Dr. Hancock was brought here through the class on the American Negro

Debate Club Sponsors Talks For Civic Clubs
Summer School Opens Here On June 14
Dr. J. E. Walmsley, coach of debating activities at Farmville State Teachers College, has announced that during the 19381939 school sessions the Debate Club of Farmville will offer its services to any civic club in the state that may desire them. It will send two speakers to appear an any civic club program for the purpose of discussing both sides of any current topic of general interest. These topics may be selected by the club themselves, and they should write to the club and ask for the discussion that they wish. Those in charge feel that such a service will be valuable to women's clubs and other civic groups in Virginia as well as valuable training for the students taking part. Miss l oi .ma Moomaw of Roanoke is president and Miss Marie Allen. White Gate, is secretary of the local organization for the next year. The Debate Club this year has been very successful in all of its activities. The girls who went to Winthrop this year placed second in debating, winning nine out of ten rounds.
The summer session of the Farmville Elementary School will open on Tuesday. June 14, and close on Friday, July 22. Miss Grace E. Mix will be the principal of the school. The First and Second grades will be taught by Miss Bessie Gordon Jones. Mrs. Louise E.

Examinations Remind Is of Several Duties Examination* arc here upon us and there are certain items which must be called to our attention again. First of all, there is the Honor Code which m signed after we matriculated at Earmville. It is truly fine when student.can pledge themselves to IK honorable and still more line when they can carry it out. The simple rules set forth in our Honor Code have a greater character-building effect upon us as students and upon the school as a whole. Another important item is the observance of the House Council rules. We voted upon and pledged ourselves to ohey the rules of the House Council. Put yourself in the place of a student that wishes to study. You would not want to he disturbed every two seconds by someone walking into your room, or would you like to hear someone yell down the hall during study hour. From seven-thirty till ten o'clock is a short time when you really have something to do. The least that we can do is respect the rights of others and ohey the "F.usy signs" that are placed on the doors, for they surely would not have been put there if the student had not wanted to study. These rules are simple, but they mean much to the general welfare of the student and to the school when they are enforced as they should be. It is up to us as students to see that these rules are enforced.

She answered my first queries with: •Please. I don't want to be Interviewed H embarrasses me." In a short while I was listening to Mariha Whelchel while she described her summer job. "I'll be in a New Hampshire camp at Camp Interlaken which is about thirty miles from Dartmouth. Canoeing. (rimming, and horseback riding arc the main sports featured there I'll be a Junior Counselor and will probably assist with swimming instruction.' She explained that the wealthy people from New York and other northern cities send their daughters there, and last year the daughter of the managing editor of "Time" was there. Martha replied almost spontaneously, "I was up there last year and I'm surely excited about going back." Harriet Vaden will assist in field sports and Elizabeth Butler will teach arts and crafts at Camp Interlaken for the summer. The second person was Johnny Lybrook who will be Junior Counselor at Camp Merriwood Harrison, located six miles from Richmond on the Petersburg pike. The camp is sponsored by the Tuberculosis Association and Counselors acept their position voluntarily. Sixty children will be admitted

at the opening on June 10 and at the end of six weeks a second group will replace them. Children from eges six to twelve are admitted. Directors find it necessary to turn down many applications for admission every year while practically every applicant is in need of camp care. After this information. Johnny added: "I'll be there the first six weeks and I'm very enthusiastic about the Job because I love social service." Jean Stevenson will also work at Camp Merriwood Harrison during the summer. She expects to enter the nursing school at Duke next year, and she is going to camp in order to gain experience in that ileld of work. Eliza Wise lias a job as counselor at Posse Nisen Camp. Hillsboro. New Hampshire. It is eightyfive miles from Boston. Professor Nessen who is president of the Posse Nessen school for physical educaiton majors is head of the camp. His father was the first to introduce physical education to America. This is the first year Dr. Nissan has taken people who aren't graduates of his school. It was through the commendation of Ruth Leonard that Eliza secured this job. Children from the ages of seven to eighteen are admitted in Posse Nissen camp which opens June 26. Eliza explained: "I'll be there for the first nine weeks. I know I'll be so homesick I'll nearly die. I may have to assist in arts and also swimming." Horse back riding and canoeing are also featured sports. Adding a final word about her job Eliza exclaimed: "1 really am excited about it cause I've never been to camp before." Ruth Phelps has been accepted as a counselor in a summer camp in Maine where she will be in charge of some of the sports. Edna Bolick was recently interviewed for a job at High Valley Farm in Canton. N. C. New College is a part of Columbia University and Dr. Thomas Alexander is head of New College in North Carolina. Edna will live in one of the houses on the farm and her job will consist in teaching home economics, planning menus and taking charge of running the home. Edna said in reference to her job which lasts from June 10 to September 1: "Home economics majors only are chosen for these positions, and I'm very glad to have this opportunity for gaining experience in the field of home economics."
By Johnnie Lybrook
In a recent survey on war in American "I am a part of all that I have met." This line from Tennyson's "Ulysses" has a counterpart in Madison Carwein's "Pentralia". Tennysons verse is usually considered to be best applied to experience in the world of people and of man-made things. Carwein's poem expresses the same idea, but it is applied to Nature and man's relation to her. "I am a part of all you see In Nature; part of all you feel. I am the impact of the bee Upon the blossom: in the tree I am the sap—that shall reveal The leaf, the bloom—that flows and flutes Up from the darkness through its roots. I am the vermeil of the rose. The perfume breathing in its veins; The gold within the mist that glows Along the west and overflows With light the heaven: the dew that rains Its freshness down and strings with spheres Of wet the webs and oaten ears. I am the egg that folds the bird; The song that beats and breaks its shell; The laughter and the wandering word The water says, and dimly heard. The music of the blossom's bell When soft winds swing it; and the sound Of grass slow-creeping o'er the ground.

threat destroyers will want to see their inventions in action? All this is true and well said but just what nation is going to be so foolish as to disarm? Just how long would a nation remain free and independent if she did so? Disarmament is out of the question! The solution to the question lies in that wonderful "brotherhood" of nations that we spoke about last week. And that's just one thing we think will never come. We wonder just how many people in the world really and truly want such a thing? It is that competitive spirit between nations that makes the world progressive. Yes, you say, but we do not mean competition in the sense that you have taken it to include war. But do not wars result from economic disturbances and greed and envy'.' Is it not the spirit of being greater—it is not the same spirit that exists between men and business concerns of getting ahead of the other fellow the same spirit that causes nations to fight?

"1%, Better, Best," .Miss .Mary's Motto For Picnic Supper •When bigger and better picQlCS are given, Miss Mary Will ■heni" Those were the exact sentiments of the old and new Student Council and Y. W. Cabinet after the most de-luscious of picnics at Long wood last Thursday evening. May 19. Upon arrival at the golf course each carload of girls was greeted by the rather extraordinary sight Of a young man washing an aeroplane with an elongated hose. The accompaniment of various comments and questions, the plane was finally washed and rubbed down, whereupon the pilot calmly puked up one end of it and pardoned himself while he wheeled hia airplane down the road to the Chagrin and great consernatlon of several cars in the wake of the approaching vehicle. After a graceful take-off, followed by much stunting and cavortlng during which the Council and Cabinet were sure that either they or he would soon meet immediate death the little silver plane wheeled once In farewell and then flew on home to its air port to give some mere people a thrill. By this time, excitement had led to hunger which In turn had led everyone to the tea room, Miss Mary and loveliest of picnic suppers. When everyone had become comfortably established on sofas or convenient little corner of the floor, the picnic began in earnest to the tune of fried chicken, potato chips, devilled eggs—but need we go on? Sufficient to say that everything that goes wih a picnic, was there—and then some! Peeling the need of a little action, some of the children trooped out onto the lawn to play crackthe whip and ring-around-thelo.sy. after which they joined their more sedate sisters around the piano to add their interpretation to the sade tale of "The Old Apple Tree." Finally it was over all but the shouting, which is still going on; and. as to the original theory of Miss Mary and better picnics, well, the adjective's been changed to
"best"!
