THE CAMPUS MIRROR PROFESSOR BRAZEAL Addresses Spelman Students on “Citizenship” The substance of his speech was as fol- j lows: The Negro should vote for he is a par ticipant in democracy; revolutions occur not by blood but by ballot. We would do well to form blocs and hold the balance of power. Locally it is well to vote according to the way the party stands on certain issues. Na tionally we should vote always with the Re publican party, not so much for what it has done, but for the opportunities it offers and for what it might do. Let us drop our beg ging psychology and come together with solidarity. We can gain influence by con certed action. Jim Crowism is accomplishing its purpose in producing a mental state conducive to contentment. Our individuality is becoming | smirched, smeared and warped. Be prepared j and vote so that non-voting will not be a cause for further disfranchisement. Professor Brazeal » second address gave j considerable information concerning the planks in the platforms of all of the differ ent political parties. SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATION OF A GROUP OF NEGRO SPIRITUALS (Continued from Page 1) ferings. The prayers of the blind man who cried for his sight were answered and he be came a follower of Jesus. No doubt the peo ple who first sang this song had been cry ing for a long time, but their prayers had not been answered. “Everybody must find that God is the answer.” “The blind man stood on the way and cried, ‘Lord have mer cy on my soul.’ ” "Deep River” was the last spiritual dis cussed by Mr. Thurman. He said: “This is the most philosophical of all the spirituals Medlock’s Pharmacy 1ncorporated PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS 'Where Lee and Gordon Meet” DRUGS TOILET ARTICLES MAGAZINES ICE CREAM CANDIES Phones: WEst 0296-0297 that have come to us. It has to do with life and is a perfect analogy." There are three ways in which he considered the an alog}' perfect. The first is that a river is always moving—always changing. “I can never say that this is life because the pres ent is always becoming the past, and the fu ture is becoming the present. I can afford to be quiet, whatever my present situation is, because it is not permanent.” In the second place, it seems to be per fect, because life is so exacting and reveal ing. He said that the judgment he would place on the river would be simply the history of the river; so the judgment he would pass on life would be the history of that life. In the third place life does have a goal; God is this goal. The river also has a goal to which it moves regardless of what hap pens. In other words, “Life is like a deep, deep, deep, river.” THE TRANSFORMATION OF PETER STREET (Continued from Page 4) moved as well as a frame building? A fore man of the house moving company reported that he had worked thirty years for the company who did this work. There stands a brick building with marks of age upon it, on a new foundation, in line with the other business houses. Can’t you imagine when these old buildings were moved what fun the sunshine and fresh air had chasing away the germs from the dark and dingy places? Picture the ground expanding its chest in order to do its bit in beautifying the street. Some of the store fronts are very plain; some have relief columns suggesting Cor inthian decoration. One would be surprised to know the various businesses we find on this street. There are grocery stores, drug stores, furniture stores, hardware stores, “wiener" stands, markets and variety shops.

Sothern at the Erlanger Theater on October 23, 1928. He gave the murder scene in Macbeth and the famous trial scene from The Merchant of Venice. Mr. Sothern comes from a line of actors. After his Shakespearean readings, he gave a few amusing anecdotes about his father which gave the audience a deeper insight into the lives of the father and son. Inter esting to say, Mr. Sothern gave some fasci nating sketches of the once fashionable Eng lish fop. The last number in his list of read ings was Villon’s masterful version, “If I Were King." It was a raie treat for this group of stu dents and teachers to hear Mr. E. H. Sothern. LETTER OR NO LETTER? By RUBY SEYMOUR, ’32 The Freshmen have breathed a sigh of re lief, now that their first tests are over. They are not quite as verdant as they were heretofore, because most of their verdancy has been de posited on their test papers. There was a general rush for the post-office Saturday morning, even before the postman ar rived, and a search began for mysterious little missives which some genus had placed in in dividual boxes. It was one of the very rare times that the non-appearance of mail gave happiness. fame had chanced to be on Peter street. So far as we know no such claims of senti ment have stood in the way of progress. All houses were moved back alike. Not only will the people living on Peter street be proud of these changes, but the surrounding neighborhood will feel the in fluence of this civic improvement. Former visitors returning to Atlanta will look in vain for the Peter street they once knew. CASH and CARRY HOWARD’S Odorless Dry Cleaners Incorporated All Dresses Cleaned.
