NUMBER TEN
Four Speakers
On Third Student
Chapel Program
Varied Topics
Are Discussed
The student expression program
for the month of February was
held Tuesday, February 8. Arlene
Phillips, editor-in-chief of the year
book, presided over the program
consisting of four speakers. These
were Emmie Baker, president of
Alpha Psi; Warren Jones, DicK
Grace, president of the Student
Body, and Alan A. Richstone.
The first talk was made by Miss
Baker on “Why We Come To Col
lege.” She made a survey of the
reasons for a student’s presence at
at a higher school, and finally sum
med up by saying that no matter
what the reason, college will help
all who attend.
| Warren Jones then spoke on
"Cheer Leaders.” He suggested
that cheer leaders would add pep
to the basketball game, thus urg
ing the team to victory. How
ever, he stated that anew gymn
asium would be needed to provide
space for these cheer leaders.
Alan Richstone discussed the
merits of the Ellis Health Law
that Mu Zeta Alpha is trying to
encourage Carroll county to put
into effect. He outlined the law
and then read a letter that he
had composed for the sqhool to
indqi’se to fcetyl to Mr. yhappell,
"Commissioner of Roads, in whose
hands the fa*te of the measure now
rests. The proposal was passed
unanimously.
In conclusion, Dick Grace spoke
of the unfinished tasks that the
sophomore class is leaving behind
for the Freshmen to finish. “What
We Leave Behind Us,” he sug
gested, can easily be put into ei
fect by an increase in the student
activity fee, He moved that they
be raised from one dollar to two.
The singing was led by Aaron
Buckalew accompanied on the
piano by Mary Clyde Langford.
