-Mrs. Hush Van Landingham-
New Faculty Member Teaches French,
Has Hobbies of Traveling, Homemaking
By ALICE INGRAM
"I'm here just to help out," says
modest Mrs. Hugh van Landingham,
who is taking over the late Dr. George
A. Underwood's classes in the depart-ment
of French. Mrs. van Landing-ham
spoke in a distinct voice with
a pleasing French accent,
"The first week, when I go back to
France," she says, "I have to search
to find the phrases. People say, 'Oh,
you speak just like an American!' After
that, it flows very easily. Then I find
myself having to translate again for
a week when I come back and start
speaking English."
Her youthful ambition was to see
some of the world, and she seems to
have realized it remarkably well.
Mrs. van Landingham, formerly
Mme. Renee Prieur, was born in Bi-zerte.
North Africa. (No, she hadn't
heard the G.I. song "Gertie from Bi-zerte.")
As the oldest of four children,
she sympathizes with all those who
think the oldest gets the blame. She
went to school in France, and after
finishing high school, studied one year
in London and one year in Scotland.
By that time it was 1918. Mrs. van
Landingham served with the A.E.F. as
an English-French stenographer. That's
where she met her husband. From
Dijon, where she was living at that
time, she went to Paris where she
worked three years as an English-
French stenographer. ,
When she came to America In 1022
Mrs. van Landingham started in at
the University of South Carolina to
complete her bachelor's degree and at
the same time taught there for two
years. She has been living in Greens-boro
for the last ten years.
Mrs. van Landingham names home-making
her chief hobby now since she
is the mother of three boys. The oldest
is a paratrooper stationed at Camp
Mackall, and the other two are at home.
Mrs. van Landingham's mother and
two brothers are still in Paris, and
she hopes to see them after the war.
She has heard from them indirectly
and believes they are safe. Since she
first came to the United States she
has made two trips back to France,
in 1920 and 1933, and she took her
sons with her. "The minute you leave
your own front door," she said, speak-ing
of traveling, "your pocket book is
open all the time."

Fishel. head of the war stamp sales
on campus, in speaking of the war
bond thermometer that Kitty and Gin-ny
Haynes made and set up outside
Administration Building. The mercury
now reads $667.15.
Sixth War Loan Drive
Response Is Slight,
Says WSL Chairman
Floor Leaders Sell Chances
For Bank Night in Aycock,
Lucky Number Will Win $5
Campus response to the Sixth War
Loan Drive so far has been fair, it is
announced by Dot Arnett, WSL chair-man.
Although Tag sales were a suc-cess,
netting approximately $100, other
Three committees were appointed at

points out.
Particularly is this true of extra
war stamp purchases. During the
drive every girl has been asked to buy
$1 in stamps, plus her regular pledge.
Sales have been slow, as the thermom-eter
behind Administration Building
indicates. Only one week remains to
meet the campus goal, so every girl
is urged to do her part in making the
war loan drive on campus a success.
Chances for Bank Xiglit are now on
sale in the dormitories. By buying a
25 cent war stamp or three 10 cent
ones, girls are given a chance to win
$5 in war stamps. Saturday night,
December 1C, at 8 p.m. in Aycock Audi-torium,
numbers will be drawn from
a hat, and girls holding lucky chances
will be given $5 in stamps. There
will l>e two or four prizes, depending on
how many chances are sold. Chances
may be bought from floor leaders, and
there is no limit to the number one
person may buy.
There was a meeting of hall and floor
leaders Thursday night. December 7,
in the Alumnae Building to discuss
plans for accelerating the War I.nan
Drive and other activities. A new leaf-raking
schedule was announced, and
will be posted in residence halls.
Waste paper sales so far have netted
enough to purchase one war bond for
the chapel fund nnd almost another,
according to Dot Spruill, campus con-servation
head.
Scrap collections take place every Fri-day,
alternating between sides of the
campus covered. Volunteers from resi-dence
halls help in loading the truck.
Work at the ORD Red Cross hospital
continues with girls from residence
halls going out to the camp Wednes-day
nights and Sunday afternoons.
Heretofore, girls have gone only three
Sundays in the month; but their work
has been so successful that they have
been asked to come every Sunday. Pre-holiday
plans in this connection in-clude
a Christmas carol party, and
possibly a dance. During the holidays,
town students will carry on the weekly
visits.
