Music While We Dine
It seems that about the biggest ad
dition that could be made for the in
terest and wholesome enjoyment of
the largest part of our student body
is to have music at West Hall at lunch
and dinner.
We believe that there has been de
cided neligence in the absence of
music so far this year. We believe
that the meal itself would become
more enjoyable. Music is furnished
in the best dining places in America.
Leading colleges in the entire nation
have music for the diners, which is
usually furnished by elaborate college
orchestras. Radio programs are fur
nished over leading stations for pri
vate-home diners to enjoy. Good
music gives new luster; it adds several
new smiles; it sidetracks the mind
from the strain of studies; it causes a
sensation that cannot be expected and
that only music can furnish.
We suggest that we have popular
music at lunch and light classics at
dinner. We firmly believe that there
are many who would gladly serve on
a committee to have such a program
afforded.
Bulletin Board An
nouncements Marred
What is more pestering or patience-
eating than to pass the bulletin board
and find nine-tenths of the announce
ments defaced with catty remarks and
oftimes an added misleading state
ment?
Such a practice is general. This
foolishness may be done by a few, or
it may be done by practically every
body who has a catty mind and not
enough pride to withold such remarks.
When one defaces an announcement,
he is making a nuisance of himself to
every other member of the student
body. The bulletin board is read every
day by practically every member of
the student body. It is a medium of
promulgation of public and private
interests. It is for every student.
Announcements appearing should not
be altered except by the poster of such.
Consider how you would feel if some
one would add remarks that should
cause misunderstanding of an an
nouncement of yours. It is only re
spect for others and pride in yourself
to withold the mutilation of bulletin-
board announcements.
“An adventure is an inconvenience
rightly considered. An inconvenience
is an adventure wrongly considered.”
A frown is a smile gone wrong.
Beautification Of
Campus
During the past two weeks much
work has been done in regard to the
beautification of our campus. Many
shrubs have been planted around the
walkways and other strategic points,
flowers have been set out in several
little plots about the lawn, and many
other improvements have been made
on our campus as a whole. These
various improvements will be noticed
a great deal later on in the season
wh?n the new plantings will have
taken root and have begun to grow
and blossom so that every one will be
able to notice them. Along with the
trees, which are beginning to come
out so much at this season of the year,
these new things will make a very
pretty scene, and something that will
make every one of us feel good and
also make us very proud of our cam
pus.
There are many who have played a
large part in this good work, chief a-
mong whom is Miss Binford, dean of
girls at Virginia Lodge. Miss Binford
has worked untiringly, giving her time
At Virginia Lodge

Margaret McKinney, Lizzie Dozier,
Mary Furr, and Mary Lou Latham.
Bessie Mae McFadden was a dinner
guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell,

and efforts to this work. She has su
pervised the boys who have worked
with her very cooperatively, and be
tween them they have accomplished
great things and deserve the highest
commendation. We as students should
greatly apprciate all this that they
have done for us.
There are various ways in which we
can show pur appreciation. We can
best do this by cooperating with them
in this fine work. We can do our
part in keeping the campus clean and,
best of all, by observing the several
“Keep off the grass” signs which have
been put up in certain spots. Most of
these have been placed where we for
merly made paths across the grass.
This ground has been dug up and new
grass planted, and it will not grow un
less we give it a fair chance and stay
off it until it comes up. So, in closing,
may we urge every one to do his or
her part in this beautification project
and by this show our appreciation to
those who have worked so hard on it
and also to those who have given
these plants.
