BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE COMMUNITY BULLETIN
Monday, May 4, 1942

This evening: there will be no meeting of the faculty. There will, however, be a call meeting of the faculty later on this week to begin a discussion of the spring term work of each student.
This evening at 7:00 in Room 10, there will be a meeting of the Board of Fellows.
Tuesday afternoon Bob Babcock will speak at 5:00 over WWNC on the V-1 Navy Plan. This program is part of the plan of the Western North Carolina Colleges to acquaint this selection of the state with the role of education in the war.
Tuesday evening, the Current Affairs Group will meet at 9:00 in the Kocher Room. There will be a review of the war, from September, 1938, to May 5, 1942.
Friday, Dr Thomas Addis, professor of Medicine at the Stanford University, and friend of Paul Radin, will arrive at the College. He has been invited to speak to the community on “Medicine in the Modern World”.

Announcements:
Peter Bergmann was wired the college: “Margot feeling fine after successful operation Wednesday, but uncertain when she may travel. Myself plan return Wednesday or Thursday. Please pass regards to you all.”
An announcement will be posted on the bulletin board tomorrow morning regarding the registration of students for sugar-rationing.
The paradox of putting in a car of block coal (which will arrive in a few days) after the need for coal for this school year is past, and in the face of a shortage of funds, is hereby explained. The government has fixed the price of soft coal, but is allowing an increase in ten cents per ton for the next four months. The government has indicated that all commercial users of coal who can store coal now for next winter must do so. Lastly, the chance of obtaining coal in the fall seems extremely small, due to the predicted shortage of freight cars. House dwellers are requested to move their coal inside as soon as possible after its arrival.

Examiners of candidates for graduation:
For Harold Raymond: Robert R Palmer, assistant professor of history at Princeton.
For Lucian Marquis: Jeffrey Smith, instructor in philosophy at Columbia University.
For Jimmy Jamieson and John Stix: William J Mitchell, instructor in music at Columbia University.
