Dabs O’Dirt By ONTHAW LOWDOWN 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. VOLUME TWO 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.
