“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.

An officer of the United States Army Corps of Engineers speaks to people holding a sit in in support of the Standing Rock Nation at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers headquarters. The protest was one of many in a global day of action against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) calling on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to cancel the permit for the project.

The museum, built in the 1920’s and established in 1961, is located in a former car dealership. There are approximately 65 vehicles dating from 1898 to 1981, showcasing the development of the automobile. The building contains its original freight elevator.

We decided to do Newcastle for Easter weekend, and what a fantastic weekend we had!
Sunday was quite eventful! The hotel flooded! The feeder pipe on the roof came away from the water tank and flooded 8 floors!
We had to move to another hotel room but luckily we didn't have to move hotels.
We put all that behind us though. Sunday afternoon we wen to The Stand comedy club to see the fantastic Sam Lake and support Lauren Pattinson (who was also his tour manager!).
We met them after the shgow to and they were so lovely, had lot of time for us!
After that we went back to Rusty's Showbar for more fantastic drag and to meet our friend Jane again.
An aswesome weekend!
