“Campus Comments” was the campus newspaper published monthly at Mitchell College, in Statesville, North Carolina. An article in The Statesville Daily on Aug. 20, 1941, p. 3, gave a description of the local junior college newspaper. “The Comments used to be amimeographed, and last year it was a small, four-page paper that looked more like a grammar grade gazette than anything else.”
The Daily went on to say that, “They’re putting out a “Welcome to Mitchell” edition September 10th that will be big and good in comparison with other junior college newspapers and with pass editions of Campus Comments.” The September and October 1941 issues of Campus Comments are part of the Local History collection at the Iredell County Public Library and have been digitized made available for viewing on our Flickr site.
The September 1941 issue describes itself as the, “Liveliest Junior College Newspaper In North Carolina” and states, “We believe that this issue is unique in the fact that it is the first of its kind to be published in North Carolina.”
This ambitious campus newspaper publication is made possible by the talents of the paper’s student staff. The editor of the paper in 1941 is Louis Estell Laffoon (1923-2013) from Elkin, N.C. where her father Harvey Franklin Laffoon (1897-1978) is editor of the Elkin Tribune, and president of the Midwestern Press Association.
Other notable members of the papers staff include Statesville native Bill Powell (who graduated from Mitchell, served in WWII, and then returned to N.C. where he became known as William Stevens Powell (1919-2015), author and Professor of History at UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C.’s most distinguished historian. By May 1941, Powell’s younger sister, Frances Elizabeth Powell Gainor (1922-1996) was the papers editor.
Handling features and ads for the paper was Statesville native, Max Bailey Tharpe (1920-2010), who also after returning from WWII, would become one of N.C.’s most prominent newspaper and commercial photographers. The Max Tharpe Photograph Collection is a part of the Local History collection at the Iredell County Public Library and digitized photographs of his work can be found here on the library’s Flickr page under the “Max Tharpe Photograph Collection.”
Mitchell Community College was started by the Concord Presbytery in 1852 and opened at Concord Presbyterian Female College in the fall of 1856. Following the Civil War, the Presbytery suffered economically and in 1872 they sold the college to a local Statesville businessman Robert Falls Simonton (1827-1876). Simonton changed the name of the college to Simonton Female College.
In 1904 the Concord Presbytery once again took control of Mitchell College. In 1917 the college was renamed Mitchell College in honor of Eliza Mitchell Grant and Margaret Eliot Mitchell who were longtime teachers and administrators at the college. The two sisters began at the college in 1875 and were the daughters of Professor Elisha Mitchell for whom Mount Mitchell is named.
In 1924 the college changed from a four-year to a two-year college. In 1932 the college opened admittance to men and in 1959 the Mitchell College Foundation took control of the college over from the Presbytery and operated it as an independent junior college. In 1973, Mitchell College became a part of the North Carolina Community College system and the name was changed to Mitchell Community College.

I went to see the one man show Buffy Revamped with my dear friend Simon. It was brilliant!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer remains one my my all-time favourite shows, and this was a hilarious take one it. I highly recommend going to see it if it's touring near you and you loved the TV show.

Found this comment on one of my photos today. Seems like the whole orkut crap ends then comes right back up. I emailed her and asked her to please not use my photos, but who knows if that'll be enough to stop them. They obviously think what they are doing isn't wrong, she even left me a comment!!!!
The comment says "Hi, I can use the photos ? to make a orkut. Kisses"

No, not me, if I had penned this in the sand you would not have been able to read it, in my past days of employment, as an authorised signatory, the monthly cheque run to pay suppliers, two or three hundred cheques for signature each month, utterly destroyed my handwriting.

Comment j'ai inventé Édith Scob, suite...Hélène Delprat en collaboration avec Benoît Pfauwadel.
À la Maison d’Art Bernard Anthonioz, Hélène Delprat poursuit le travail qu’elle a amorcé à l’occasion de l’atelier de création radiophonique que lui avait confié France Culture en octobre dernier. Jeux de masques et de vérité, jeu de rôle autour du personnage d’Edith Scob, récit d’une rencontre mis en exposition, représentation d’un échange, journal à deux qui ouvre une nouvelle scène avec cette fois des images qui se plaquent sur les sons, les mots, les récits. Au croisement du cinéma et de ses monstres, du théâtre, de ses décors et de ses oripeaux, Hélène Delprat déballe son « vrac » fantastique et burlesque : automates, peintures, masques, silhouettes, vidéos, découpages...Et maintenant : Fermez les yeux, ouvrez les yeux, fermez...
Tous les jours, sauf les mardis et les jours fériés, de 12h à 18h, en entrée libre.

Our annual September visit to Newcastle.
Saturday night we started out at The Yard where we met the lovely Chloe. Then we went to see the Ladyboys of Bangkok, and they were amazing as they always are!
We got our picture with them on stage at the half time interval too.
Very funny - they guy on our table got chosen and brought up on stage for one section, and he abviously absolutely loved it!
We finished the night with Ellie in Rusty's bar.
This illustrated comment in the Visitors' Book in St Mary's church, Rotherhithe, caught my eye and was, I felt, worth reproducing, especially in the light of the current conflicts, particularly in the Middle East. If only the world could return to the harmonies of medieval Cordoba, when Muslims, Jews and Christians worked together in peace for the common good. They proved that it can be done.

blu_bird_s: The yarn crawl in Portland is coming up soon I think. I have never gone but want to try this year, sounds like a good time!
katinkaknits: :) @blu_bird_s, this wasn't an official yarn crawl. :). Just a visit from someone I met @ SquamItalia last fall. There are 4 LYSs in my town, it's fun to visit a few in one day. I've also never been on an official one. It would be great to do in Portland!
My last comment about our tuckshop not being profitable seemed to offend many of our volunteers. Apparently we do make money (or at least we would if I stopped stealing sweets)
Anyway, we are training new staff. Although I don't understand what girls are doing here since we've just been accused of being a sexist organisation that doesn't work with girls. As we all know, anything you read on the internet must be true.
