ETERNAL triangle and
MR. KITCHENS STAR
Xu the last issue we mentioned a
co’tain triangle in wliieh Miss Brisen
(]i;io was the third party. Well, since
then Caroline Geer, during her illness,
s ,vms to have been nosed out with
Eleanor going to second place and do
ii g her best to keep Caroline in third
place. This race is becoming inter
esting. Who’s “goiner” win EARL?
It seems that Henry Kitchens has
lost his heart to Miss Acklin —Miss
Sara Helen Acklin. Why, Henry, and
we thought Marion Askew was going
to be the lucky girl. Anyway, Henry,
in a fit of jealousy, nearly jumped on
“Cotton,” his roommate the other day
because Sara Helen gave Cotton a
picture of herself. And did you know
that Mamie Edwards has a secret lik
ing for Mr. Kitchens? She’s calling
him Hick Powell, and does he like it?
Tie wants everyone to tell—or call him
that.
It lias just leaked out that Davis
Upshaw, during his recent illness-so
journ in the hospital, was in the ma
ternity ward. Mr. Upshaw, we really
had no idea!
These people that write notes to
Harvey Glazier on their slips for phy.
edu. had better be careful, especially
when they write something about his
going with Doris Wiggins, because
Miss Wiggins helps him lots of the
time, reading the slips while Harvey
writes them up in the note-roll book.
Mr. Bishop wrote a note the other day
that embarrassed them both greatly.
Blanche Ward lias such an open face
that any one can read her mind) with
*4ha..g7**tcft of ease. After juft glanc
ing at her the other day the old dert
dauber saw at once that she has a se
cret sorrow from Montgomery, Ala.
Floyd Holder is the lad’s name.
Elbert Floyd bought a used car and
motored up Calhoun way. He stopped
and got Bill Brown at a drug store and
then drove on for about fifty yards
for at that point the darned old thing
blew up and cauglt on fire. Mi.
Brown rang the -fire bell and eventu
ally the fire was put out; but, alas,
the old Nash’s running days were over.
Mr. Floyd silently wept while his
chariot was towed to the junk yard.
Mildred Lovvorn has taken a sud
den interest in wrestling, won t
go, though, except to the W. G. C.
wrestling matches. What is that,
school spirit? And speaking of Mil
dred, that reminds me —us. A certain
boy in the dorm was using his loose
leaf calander for a diary until it vas
discovered and read. All the diary
contained was an account of what he
and Mildred had done. What did you
want to do that for, Billy?
Miss Portwood goes to biology 2C)
every r day because she says she hasn t
anything else to do. Would someone
like to join me in getting her a good
book to read or in making a lecture
on “Home, Sweet Home?”
Edna Fuller (introducing speaker in
Mu Zeta Alpha): “The last part on
the program is by Miss Wiggins. She
has “quintuplets, quadruplets.' trip
lets and twins.”
Virginia Webb and “Chubby’ Tin
ner have the art of hitch-hiking pretty
well figured out. They spend most of
their time—spare time —-between scoop!
and town. They average about six
trips daily. It’s a pity one can t get
credit for “ride-catching” in physical
edu. These day students have all the
■uck, while the poor little dorm. gLL
have to walk —or run—if they' warn
too.

SPIRING HOLIDAYS MARCH 19 24
TRIP PLANNED TO
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE
Just after the spring recess there
is planned to have a three-day trip
to Tuskegee Institute. There will be
a party' of about twenty-five students,
townspeople, and faculty' members.
Every year hundreds of people from
all parts of the world visit this insti
tution, for it is unique in its history
and the work it is doing in the south.
Tuskegee affords a combination vo
cational-cultural education which fits
its graduates to become of useful and
active members of society immediate
ly after tliey leave its walls. Up to
the present depression Tuskegee grad
uates were in constant demand.
Tus.kegee is the result of the ideas
of that great American negro, Booker
T. Washington, who wanted his race
to “let down their buckets where they
were ” and build solidly in character,
industry and understanding, so that
Lis people could gain self respect by
being respectable. His groat work
lias been carried on by Dr. Roberts R.
Moton, who at the height of his bril
liant career, is retiring this year.
The trip will include visits to all
the important divisions of the insti
tute, a visit to the Veterans’ Hospital,
one of the finest hospitals for disabled
war veterans in the south, and a trip
through the trade schools.
The trip will be a real opportunity
for our students to get a better under
standing as to what the negro thinks,
and how the white race and the negro
race can live in the same geographical
area and work as co-operative human
beings with understanding and sym
pathy- for the common probems of each.

each entrance two- lighted brick col
umns and which is to-be lined on
either side by a stone erub and general
changes mark the work on the other
parts of the campus. We are known
to have the most beautiful campus of
any- similar institution in this state,
and these improvements indicate that
we intend to uphold this reputation,
even through present financial condi
tions.
“Despite the failure of the P. w.
A. loan,” said President Ingram in a
statement concerning these and some
other improvements that are less ob
vious, “West Georgia has gone ahead,
the heating plant was overhauled, the
campus has been greatly changed, and
anticipated improvements are going
forward every day under the FERA '
