CAMPUS MIRROR
Spelman’s Sports Scoop . . .
At the request of the Athletic Council
and the lovers of nature, we beseech you,
each and every one, to stop “cutting'’ the
canii)iis. Don't you want the grass to be
beautiful in April? Surely you do.
Well, it's nearing basketball season
again, and within a few weeks you’ll be
seeing those fine looking gym suits hit
the floor once more. The Athletic Coun
cil wants to urge each class to be getting
ready for the annual Intra-mural classics
held in Morehouse gym. The present
Junior Class copped the title with ease
last year. Are they to be allowed to win
again? Each class has its share of “but
ter-fingers.’ and yours truly doesn’t mean
candy, either. But it also contains good
material for upholding the honor of the
class.
There are rumors of a ping-pong tour
nament. If you like the idea, drop jour
sports editor a note. There must be
plenty of ping-pong enthusiasts around
the campus. The game room is to be
renovated soon. but. because of the short
age of physical education instructors,
M iss Simon has been unable to look af
ter all details. She deserves orchids, how
ever. while we”re talking about her. Her
work isn't at all easy.
Watch the bulletin board in the gym
for the schedule of the annual Intra
mural classics. It is rumored that the
faculty has a team that can’t be beat. You
know how Miss Jenson rings the hoop
every time, don’t you?
So, remember: the A. I. Classics, to
stop “cutting” the campus, to stop throw
ing refuse about, and to keep aware of
sports activities.

Smile Awhile . . .
A little girl was taken to an old-fash
ioned church for the first time. She
stared in awe at the old Highland min
ister. shut np in a box pulpit, thumping
the Bible and waving his arms wildly.
Then, unable to stand it any longer, she
whispered to her father in a frightened
voice, “What'll we do il he gets out?”

“My poor fellow,” said the kind old
lady, “it must be dreadful to be lame,
but just think how much worse it would
be if you were blind.”
“You’re right, lady.” agreed the beg
gar. “When I was blind, I was always
getting countefeit money.”
“Chief, there’s a recruit here who said
he used to make his living by sticking
his right arm into a lion s mouth.”
“Interesting. What’s his name?’
“Lefty.”
Wife to collector: "‘If you re looking
for my husband, he’s gone fishing. Just
walk down to the bridge until you find
a pole with a worm on each end.”
“Oh. doctor. I’m scared to death. This
is my first operation.”
“I know exactly how you feel. You’re
my first patient.”
1st Police: “So your prisoner got
away? Didn’t you guard the exits?”
2nd Police: “Yes, but he must have
gone out one of the entrances.”
