’ Pressing Needs of College .

Listed In Budget Requests

by C. A. UPCHURCH, JR.

ON THE front cover ofthis issue is a recent photograph show-ing the progress of construction on thenew chemistry laboratory building be-tween Ricks Hall and Daniels Hall.

Sturdy steel girders rising Skywardabove layers of concrete are symbolicof the substantial program of expan—sion upon which State College em—barked this year. Four dormitories aretaking shape. Another possibly will beadded. Plans for a modern textilebuilding, the finest in the country, arebeing rushed to completion. Contractsfor construction of a new dairy plantwill be awarded this month.

State College is rapidly clearing theway for start of the final project underthe $1,600,000 expansion programwhich suddenly burst upon the collegelast summer after efficient groundworkhad been laid by President Frank P.Graham and Col. J. W. Harrelson.Visitors coming to the campus afterseveral years of absence are astonishedat the changes taking place.

But friends of State Collegeshould not let the current programblind them to pressing needs whichthe institution still faces. Theseneeds are sharply outlined in thebudget requests submitted by theadministration to the State BudgetCommission.At the top of the list of permanent

improvements vitally needed by StateCollege is an adequate auditorium.State College possibly is the only ma-jor institution in the country withoutan auditorium large enough to seat allits students. Pullen Hall can seat only1,100 people at capacity. Enrollmentat State College is 2,150, largest in itshistory, and Riddick Stadium is theonly place on the campus in whichall of them can gather. Registrationfor Farm and Home Week is limitedbecause the college can accommodateonly about one-half of those who wishto attend the lectures. As Col. Harrel-son said: “We are unable to extendinvitations to large organizations tohold meetings here, because there isnot available a suitable place for meet-ings. The acoustics of the present as-sembly hall are not satisfactory.”

On three different occasions rural-_.-Ill9_n, and womenvat ”the. Farm and» - Home Week meetings passed reso-

lutions requesting appropriationfor an adequate auditorium atState College. Colonel Harrelsonestimates an auditorium seating3,200 to 3,500 people can be con-structed for $350,000, and a. re-quest for this amount has beensubmitted to the State BudgetCommission. This commission rec-ommends apprOpriations on whichthe next General Assembly will act.

Another high—ranking item amongthe requests—all of which are basedon actual need—is $250,000 for agri-cultural buildings to house the. zoology,botany and forestry departments. Oth-er requested permanent improvementsinclude a general engineering labora—tories building to cost $175,000; apoultry science building, $100,000;two floors on the civil engineeringbuilding and an assembly\ hall overthe electrical engineering laboratory,$135,000; and reconditioning of VVin—ston Hall, $51,000. A total of $67,500worth of equipment for the School ofEngineering, agricultural buildings,civil engineering buildings and Win-ston Hall also is requested.Plant Improvements

In addition, the Budget Com-mission has been asked to set aside$69,260 fOr plant improvements, in-cluding a service tunnel to cost$29,500; power distribution system,$6,760; repairs to South Dormitory,$18,000; cafeteria, $5,000, and garage,$10,000. The general service tunnelwould be used for heat, power, water,gas and telephone lines to the westside of the campus. It is regarded asabsolutely essential to the new textilebuilding, new dormitories and newchemistry laboratory building.

South Dormitory has been runningdown since it was built in 1915, andcollege income has been so low, espe—cially during the depression period,that reconditioning was not possible.The cafeteria request involves build—ing connecting halls between the eastand west cafeterias. Entrances are sep—arate and students must now gothrough the kitchen to get from one tothe other, which is necessary duringcrowded hours. The four college trucksnow are housed in a ramshackle, out—of-the—way place, hence the requestfor a modern garage. -

a true picture of the college’s needs inaddition to the current expansion pro—gram. A later story will tell how therapid growth of the college (700 morestudents in the last five years) is work-ing a burden on the present personnel.

Yarbrough EndsPostal Career . . .

WITH A RECORD of 371;,years’ connection with the UnitedStates postal service, Louis T. Yar—brough of Raleigh retired from activeduty after being signally honored byhis fellow employees. There was noformal recognition of his record, butthose who had worked with him pre—sented a token of their esteem.Mr. Yarbrough served as postal in—

spector for 17 years and became oneof the best known postal men in theState. He had been connected with theRaleigh post office as clerk for thepast five years.Coming to Raleigh at the age of 16

from Caswell County, Mr. Yarbroughentered N. C. State College, then A.and M., the first year it opened andwas a member of the first graduatingclass in 1893. He still treasures a pho-tograph of that class, with PresidentHolladay sitting with the seniors. Mr.Yarbrough’s daughter, Miss MaryYarbrough, was the first woman to begraduated from State College aftertaking a full course. She was a mem-ber of the Class of 1927.

State College Men Leaders

In Public Education

by J. K. COGGIN, ’20

THE progress of Voca-tional Education in Agriculture inNorth Carolina and the tremendousgrowth of public interest in support ofthe program are quite gratifying to allthose concerned about public educa—tion in the State. Beginning in theschool year 1917—18, with 21 schoolsand with less than 1,000 boys enrolled,the program has grown to 331 schools(white) giving definite instruction inorganized classes to approximately25,000 farm boys and farmers.

According to T. E. Browne, StateDirector, “One of the main objectivesof Vocational Education in Agricul—ture is to teach the students of today,

who are the farmers of tomorrow, thatfarming, when done according to thebest methods and when the findings ofscience are applied to the performanceof farm jobs, is capable of producingan income consistent with the demandsof a modern society. Unless the earn—ing power of the farmers can be madesuch as to maintain higher standardsof living for himself and family, it isnot reasonable to expect ambitious, in—telligent men to remain on the farm.”

All teachers of agriculture in thepublic schools of the state are grad—uates of A—l colleges or universities.Of the 331 white teachers, 167 areState College graduates and the ma-jority of the remaining have had spe-cial summer school work at this insti—tution.

According to Leon E. Cook, Profes—sor of Agricultural Education and di-rectly in charge 'of teacher training,more than 125 additional State Collegemen have been specially trained andhave taught vocational agriculturesince the beginning of the program.These men later entered related fieldsof work as county agents, specialists insoil conservation, and other agenciesfor higher salaries.

The state program of VocationalEducation in Agriculture has, sinceits beginning, been under the super-vision of Roy H. Thomas, a graduateof the University of Kentucky andformerly a teacher of agriculture at=Lowe’s Grove in Durham County.Alumni now serving the state in

this field are listed by classes:

Extension Studies Spread

Influence of N._ C.State

BALANCED programof adult education has spread theState College campus to every cornerof North Carolina and into otherstates and foreign countries.

Director Edward W. Ruggles of theCollege Extension Division has ‘re—ported that 1,226 adults registered forextension studies offered by State Col—lege, exclusive of the 78 men who at-tended the institute for gas operatorslast month.

Before the current year ends, hesaid, last year’s total of 2,700 exten-sion students will be exceeded. StateCollege has one of the largest exten—sion divisions in the South and thelargest in North Carolina. Rankingsecond in this state is the Universityof North Carolina Extension Service,which had 1,312 students registeredlast year.

State College’s extension divi-sion was started in 1924 with the

late Frank Capps as director. The firstyear’s enrollment was 461 students.Total enrollment of the extension serv-ice since its organization has reached40,922 students, according to DirectorRuggles, who became head of the di-vision in 1926.

Practically all of the extension stu-dents have been adults desiring toadd to their previous education andothers who have attended short coursesto increase their efficiency in theirchosen careers.

Divided into three divisions, theadult education program at State Col-lege includes short courses, extensionclasses and correspondence courses. Atpresent, 666 adults are registered in46 extension classes, including, 129students in 12 night classes at Raleigh.Leading members of the State Collegefaculty go to the various towns toteach the extension classes. Correspon-dence courses are being studied by 468

students, including a number in Eu-rope and South America. The studiesof a promising Spanish student takingcorrespondence work were cut shortby the rebellion in Spain. Ninety—twoadults have attended the single shortcourse held thus far this year.More Short Courses

In the total of 40,922 extensionstudents, 3,770 attended short courses,20,782 studied in extension classes and16,370 took mail courses. Last year’sshort courses were attended by 720adults, and a larger number is ex—pected this year by Director Ruggles,who has arranged a more extensiveprogram.

Fourteen short courses have beenscheduled for this year and othersprobably will be added.Enrollment of students in extension

classes outside of Raleigh follows:Louisburg, 39; Rocky Mount, 30; Tar— .boro, 24; Clinton, 24; Clement, 24;Kinston, 46; Farmville, 37; Selma,33; Elm City, 25; Hertford, 28; Co-lumbia, 32; Plymouth, 20; New Bern,30; Bayboro, 36; Kenansville, 35;Erwin, 30, and Beulaville, 44. Thesetowns have a total of 34 extensionclasses with a total enrollment of 537students.

A BROAD outline of researchand extension services supplied to in—dustry by schools of engineering inland grant colleges, operating withouta cent Of federal aid and with compar-atively little state support, was pre—sented in Chicago to the AmericanAssociation of Land Grant Collegesand Universities by Dean Blake R.Van Leer of the N. C. State CollegeSchool of Engineering.Appearing before the Engineering

Section, Dean Van Leer declared“When the industries of the countrysupport the schools of engineering asthe farmers have supported the schoolsof agriculture, the engineering servicesto industry will be ‘bigger and better’in every respect.”In the nation—wide survey conduct—

ed by members Of the EngineeringSection, Dean Van Leer was assignedto the states of Alabama, Delaware,Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missis-sippi, North Carolina, South Carolinaand Virginia, and the District of Co-lumbia. Leading contributors to in—dustrial research in the South, he re-ported, “appear to be Virginia Poly—technic Institute, North CarolinaState College and Georgia School ofTechnology.”Of the nine institutions included in

his portion of the survey, Dean VanLeer reported that six are doing indus—trial research and seven have engineer—ing experiment stations. They spend atotal of about $100,900 annually,while seven institutions in the NewEngland and Middle Atlantic statesspend about $463,437 each year on en—gineering research and extension. Thislatter group has published 41 reportsfor industry, Dean Van Leer reported,while the Southern group has pro-duced 86, more than twice as many,despite modest financial aid.

Six of the Southern institutions giveshort courses for industry, but onlytwo, North Carolina State College andMaryland, offer extension and corre—spondence courses for industry.“The schools Of engineering in the

land grant colleges are making con—scientious efforts to serve the indus-tries in their areas,” stated Dean VanLeer. “Where little or no service isavailable, it is almost invariably dueto lack of financial support. Theschools of engineering of our landgrant colleges have demonstrated thatthey are worthy of the support of in-dustry,” Dean Van Leer concluded.

Hines and Acai Shine }

As Stalwarts In Lineby WADE ISON

IHEY say that honest en-deavor is bound to reap a reward.Today two members of the N. C.

State College Wolfpack football teamare enjoying theirs.Bunnie Hines, the smallest of all

the Wolfpack linemen who not oncestarted a varsity game this year, washonored by his teammates by beingnamed captain of the 1938 Pack.

Steve Acai, really the unsung heroof the entire grid squad, also was hon-ored by his mates, being named themost valuable player on the squad.Both boys play guard and Hines is

Acai’s understudy. They are what thecoaches call five-year men, for theywere held out of competition their

' sophomore year because they weren’tseasoned enough for varsity competi—tion.

Acai, majoring in high school teach—ing, completed his course last Juneand returned to school to do post-graduate work and play his third andlast year on the varsity.Hines completes his work the com-

ing June. A first-line replecement forthe past two years, he was unable tobreak into the starting lineup, but waselected captain by lettermen on thesquad because “he is the best-fittedman for the job,” they said.Bane of OpponentsAcai and Hines played beside State’s

great Ed (Ty) Coon, who was boomedfor All-America left tackle honors andwho already has been named on theNEA all—Dixie team and the UnitedPress all-Southern Conference team.And both upheld, in grand fashion,their part of the left side of State’sstaunch line, from which opponentssteered shy.

Captain Hines came to State fromthe Winston-Salem high school eleven.Wilmington and several other towns,including Winston, claim him as thelocal boy who made good. Honors arenot new to him. He is president ofthe college’s Monogram Club andthereby a member of the AthleticCouncil. Summers he spends atWrightsville Beach doing life guardduty. A handsome chap and light onhis feet, he goes over well with thefairer sex, who know him as “Twin—kletoes, the boy who knows all the new—est dance steps.”DECEMBER, 1938

BUNNY HINES

Acai to CoachAcai is a native of Donora, Pa. He

played enough guard to win mono—grams, as did Hines, prior to this year.But it wasn’t until the present seasonthat he broke into the starting lineup.State’s numerous big time foes felthis hard charge and his dependabletackles, that played big parts in thefine defensive record the Wolfpack hasrecorded this year.Always a hard worker, he was de—

termined to step into a teaching jobwhen he finished his college career andhe again was rewarded with beingelected director of athletics and headcoach on the Littleton, N. C., highschool faculty, into which position hesteps January 1.

These two unsung heroes havecarved a niche in State College’s Hallof Fame. Their friendliness, fine deedsand leadership will linger long in thememory of their playmates and the

institution for which they gave somuch.

CAMPUS ”COMMENT

Another football season draws to aclose, and as we look back over ourrecord, we find that we didn’t do sobad. Neither did we do so good. Butdo you think that the State Collegestudents are gloomy? Not on your life.There has existed a feeling of sports-manship and fellowship on the campusthis year that has more closely unitedthe campus and has more closely tiedthe bonds of friendship.

Death claimed Paul Spainhour, ‘16—year—old freshman from Sherwood, N.C., as he and his companion werestruck by a light pick—up truck Sat-urday night, November 12, as theywere pedaling their way toward townon a tandem bicycle on crowded Hills-boro Street. The driver of the truckclaimed that he could not see the boyson the bicycle because it was not prop—erly lighted. W. A. Culpepper of Wil—liamston, N. C., Spainhour’s compan-ion on the bicycle, was not seriouslyinjured.

ISince some of you old grads have

left here, State College has powderedher nose and dressed herself up a bit.You would never have thought whenyou were an undergraduate that someday we would have a course in mar-riage. You kinda figured that youwould get plenty of information onthat subject once you were marriedand that you would probably find outtoo much when you did get married.But the marriagecourse given hereis very popular. Recently whenMrs. Mildred Inskeep Morgan, fa-mous authority of marital relations,came to this campus to lecture on“Love, Courtship, Marriage and theHome,” more than 400 students gath—ered to hear her. She gave a series offive lectures and had a good turn-outfor each lecture. These modern StateCollege boys want to know what theyare in fOr before they start tying anywedding knots.

IState College may or may not be

going “Big Time,” but when we startgetting such notables as Secretary ofAgriculture Henry A. Wallace to cometo this campus to speak, then we areheaded places. We just made an error.We said he was coming to this campus.He isn’t because we have no place onthis campus that can house the peoplehe will attract. We have a shabby au-10

ditorium with acoustics about on apar with an old well. A very old well.STATE COLLEGE HAS NOPLACE BUT RIDDICK STADIUMWHERE ALL THE STUDENTSCAN‘ MEET TOGETHER. Do youknow of any other college in the worldthat doesn’t have a meeting place forall the students? I don’t. I want youAlumni to take note of one thing. Ihave been on this campus for fouryears, and during that time I havemade a careful study of our schoolspirit. I have found, and I believethat anyone else having made sucha study will agree with me, that thebiggest reason we have had a laggingspirit is because we have no placewhere all students can group togetherand thrash out problems and difficul-ties that constantly arise and do harmto our school spirit.

Is any Alumnus displeased over theshowing the Wolfpack, made againstthe Duke Blue Devils? If you are youshouldn’t be, because those boys foughta wonderful battle. Many a sportswriter pulled his hair out after thatgame because he had predicted a muchwider margin in the score.

You would never guess how muchattention the Memorial Tower receives.Tourists from all over the countrypark their cars on Hillsboro Street toget an eye full. Hardly an hour ofthe day passes when someone is nottaking pictures of the white marbleobelisk. The tower is beautiful in thedaytime, but its beauty would be en-hanced a thousand times over if itwere floodlighted. Picture it in yourmind. The seniors realize the beautythat is going to waste, so they havementioned this as a possible senior giftto the college. I personally could thinkof nothing more appropriate.

Your Alumni president, Mr. JohnSexton, was beaming like a proudfather of a new—born prospective half—back when the Seaboard’s crackOrange Blossom Special pulled intotown for a demonstration. I love fasttrains about as much as he does. Bythe way, Mr. Sexton, Wade Ison andI are from the same railroad town ofHamlet, and you know the old saying:Once you get a cinder in your eye,you’re a railroad man.

Do you want a chance to really helpyour Alma Mater? Helping her willcost you nothing but will do the col-lege immeasurable good. Our need foran auditorium is pressing. Will you,therefore, talk to your state legislatorand urge him to help us secure onewhen the General Assembly conveneshere in January? Please go a little outof your way to do this. Your influencealone might mean the securing of theauditorium for your college. I’ll say“thirty” till next month.

College Printing Plant

Mocves Nearer Reality

ESTABLISHMENT of aprinting plant at State College movednearer reality when the PublicationsBoard adopted recommendations of aspecial committee appointed in Octo—ber to study the feasibility of the plan.The committee recommended that a

print shop be established by nextSept. 1 with equipment to handle allof the college’s printing, includingpublications, with the exception ofThe Agromech, student annual, whichrequires fancy bookwork.“The proposed printing plant will

not accept work from outside the col—lege nor is it intended to turn out fin-ished printers,” stated Frank H.Jeter, Agricultural Extension Serviceeditor and chairman of the Publica-tions Board. Courses possibly will beavailable to students in vocationaleducation, but the proposed plant willnot have a full curriculum in printing,Mr. Jeter said.On the committee making the rec—

ommendations were C. L. Lefort, as-sistant dean of students; Blan Chap-man of Raleigh, representative of theAlumni Association, and Stephen S.Sailer, editor of The Technician, stu-dent weekly newspaper.They proposed that an 11-man

board of control be set up to completeplans for the printing plant, and selec-tion of these men is the next step. Theboard will have three alumni electedby the Association, four student mem—bers from the Publications Board andfour faculty members, including Ad-ministrative Dean J. W. Harrelson,who was empowered to appoint theother three.

Reserve funds of the PublicationsBoard are sufficient to start the plantand keep it in operation a year, DeanLefort reported. A site in the westernend of the textile building’s basementhas been selected for the shop.

Present plans contemplate the em—ployment of a foreman and assistant,with self-help students also to be usedif necessary.The proposal includes printing of

all stationery used by the college. DeanLefort estimated total cost of the col—lege and publications printing at moreDECEMBER, 1938

than $22,000 annually, and the com—mittee reported the cost of the print-ing plant would approximate $20,000.

Information from a number of col-leges with their own printing plantswas secured by the committee beforeit formulated its recommendation. Thereport said State College will enjoyan appreciable saving if the print shopis established.

THE PRESIDENT’S LETTER'1?

DEAR ALUMNUS:

At this time it is imperative that the alumni assist in acquainting the several mem-bers of the 1939 General Assembly with the needs of State College. Our maintenanceappropriation is too low per student to function properly in the fields of education allottedto the College under University consolidation. The building up of graduate work intechnology requires a higher appropriation per student than is now received. Alsolaboratories must be improved to meet the demands.

At this time the College has under way about one and one-half million dollars in' an expansion program. How-ever, none of this expansion program will take care of theneeds in the Schools of Agriculture and Engineering. Both of these are in need of addi-tional buildings to cost not less than $500,000. There are yet four curricula in the Schoolof Engineering not recognized by the Engineers Council for Professional Development,and these will not be recognized until the facilities of the unrecognized departments areimproved.

* =x< :1:

The football season has drawn to a close. From a win standpoint, we are on theshort end, which was to be expected with the heavy schedule played. You cannot overlookthe fact that State played big-time football. When any team can hold Alabama, Carolina,Detroit, Duke and Carnegie Tech to such low scores as did State, top-flight football isbeing played. Could you have heard what the coaches of the above teams said aboutState’s 1938 Wolfpack, you would undoubtedly feel very proud. Indeed, you should. Anyteam that can hold Duke to 7 to 0 on Saturday and Carnegie Tech to 14 to 0 the followingThursday has the answers. Brother, is it not a fact that our opponents actually respectthe Wo'lfpack’s ability more than we do? Yes or no, they do. Let’s snap out of it andget busy. State needs material. Lend a hand. A little more good material this seasonand the Win column would have been different.

Incidentally, for the five games played at home, the attendance and receipts werealmost double that of 1937, which is most gratifying.

Hats off to Doc Newton, his staff, and the 1938 Wolfpack!

Yours sincerely,

JOHN W. SEXTON, ’10, President,General Alumni Association.

INTERCOLLEGIATE crop-judging competition is becoming vir-tually a two-college contest for tophonors between North Carolina StateCollege and the University of Ne-braska.

In two recent events in the MiddleWest, State College won the annualMidwest Intercollegiate Contest anda gold cup at Kansas City, with Ne—braska second, and the order was re—versed at the international contest inChicago the following week.However, State College still holds

the record for the most team titlesand the most individual champions inthe 15 years’ history of the Interna—tional, which is the World Series ofcrops judging. The North Carolinateams have triumphed five times—in1923, the first year of the contest, in1925, 1927, 1928 and 1931. They havefinished second four times, third twice,fourth twice and fifth once. Noventrywas made by State College in 1930,and the contest was not held in 1929.Nebraska and Kansas are tied for

second place in team competition, withfour victories each. The caliber of theKansas teams has been 011 the declinefor the past three years, winning sev-enth, sixth and ninth places, respec—tively, in those years. Nebraska haswon the last three Internationalevents.Van S. Watson, Jr., of Rocky

Mount, a member of the 1937 StateCollege team, set an all—time individ—ual record of 1,395 points out of apossible 1,467, which is the best inthe history of the contest. IncludingWatson, State has had six individualchampions, Oklahoma four, Kansasthree and Nebraska two.

J. Fred Webb, Jr., of Macclesfieldin Edgecombe County, was second highscorer in the 1938 International. Sam—uel H. Dobson of Statesville was fifthand Harold F. Robinson of Bandana,in Mitchell County, was seventhamong the 36 individual contestants.

“Competition in the Internationalis getting tougher every year,” saidDr. J. B. Cotner, coach of the Stateteam. “We won the first contest in1923 with an average of 77.9 percent, while this year we scored 93.8per cent and finished second to Ne-braska’s 94 per cent. This year’s teammade the highest score State Collegeever compiled, but we ‘hit a few holes’and finished a scant 10 points behindNebraska, which scored 4,138 pointsto our 4,128.” ,

Letter from Alumnus . . .To Mr. A. F. Bowen from William C.

Monroe, ’37, Cia Brasileira de Fumoem Folha Santa Cruz, Rio Grande doSul, Brazil:“I am very sorry that I have waited

so long to write you after my arrivalhere in Brazil, but for various reasonsI have had to postpone it from time totime. First, I was delayed in Rio deJanerio for two and a half weeks due toirregularities in my papers; in fact, Iwas denied permission to land for nearlya day after the ship arrived in harbor.After I finally got to Santa Cruz, I hadbeen here only about two weeks whenI got an infected toe, and was unableto start work for two months.

This is a very beautiful country hereand is, I imagine, very similar to ourWest at home. I am located back inthe interior, in the State of Rio Grandedo Sul, about half a day’s journey fromPorto Alegro, a town which is verynear the coast, and is an inland port.The country, of course, is not nearlyso well developed as back home, themost people traveling by horse or bywagons drawn by oxen; there are veryfew cars here, and practically none inthe country, first because the people arenot able to buy them, and then becausethey have practically no roads here.Almost all of the men and boys carrylong knives in their belts and quite afew of them carry revolvers. It is al-most like some of the scenes of the oldWest of the states that I have seen inthe movies at home, only I haven’t seenany shooting yet. My work is almostentirely in the country and is quite in-teresting. I was quite pleased to learnupon my arrival here that the head ofmy department is a North Carolinianand a graduate of State College. Hisname is Joseph Mann Harris of Louis-.burg, N. C., and I think graduated in theClass of 1924.“We are quite interested in the col-lege, the new building program that hasbeen started recently, the football teamand other phases of the life on the cam-pus there. I have written my sister

there at home to see about having thecollege papers sent to me so that wecan keep up more closely and intimatelywith what goes on there at the college.“With all good wishes for a successfulyear, a bigger and better State College

and for you. '

ahead with our hurry and worry—strainingour nerves to keep up the pace. We can’t turnback to the natural life of an animal, but we cansoothe and rest our nerves.Camel cigarettes canbe your pleasant reminder to take a helpfulbreathing spell. Smokers find Camel’s costliertobaccos are mild —root}zing to the nerves.
