Credit Is Due
Several weeks ago some discussion arose pertaining
to the conditions which prevailed in the college cafeteria
at that time. During this controversy, promises and com
promises were made by both the students and the admin
istration.
This week our cafeteria received a Grade “A” health
rating for cleanliness, and there has also been a marked
improvement in the quality and taste of the food recently.
Following the old adage of “giving credit where credit
is due,” we think credit is due the two dietitians and all
others who have aided in making these improvemnts.
But there is still one change that can be made—^this one
by a small number of students who seem to disregard en
tirely and show no respect for the rights and feelings of
their fellow students. It has been an established rule since
the opening of the present cafeteria that smoking is al
lowed only during the snack bar and not during regular
meals. The mere fact that smoking is permitted during
the time when only a few students are in the cafeteria
shows that the rule is not in the least discriminatory as
some may think.
If a man can’t wait until he’s outside to lite up, then
he just isn’t a man—^he’s still a plain kid!
OOO-r —
Give ’Em A Chance
Now that the spring rains have commenced falling
quite frequently, the gay young blades of grass are begin
ning to break the hard winter crust from the earth and to
show forth their greenness. Only with our cooperation
can the grass grow and beautify the campus. When the
lawn is damp, especially, it is harmful to trample down
the new shoots. How many of us have actually saved a
minute by taking a short-cut across the corner of the lawn?
The warm weather naturally makes us want more
and more to sit on the lawn and enjoy the lovely spring
afternoons. This raises another thought. As good citi
zens, we must try to remember not to throw papers and
chewing gum wrappers on the lawn. All of us will agree
that a yard spotted with trash detracts from the general
appearance of any campus.
Students, put on your thinking caps! We have two
things to remember. (1) Let’s try not to walk across the
grass, and (2) let’s not mar the beauty of the lawn by
thoughtlessly throwing bits of paper around.
’Nuff said?

IT'S A FACT??
By LINWOOD ADAMS
COUPLE OF THE MONTH
Now it can be told! A romance has budded out right under our
noses and few people have been aware of it. The-happy two consist
of Morgan Murphy and Dulcie Hayes. Murphy comes to us from the
peach orchards of Georgia, and is in his second year here at Brevard.
Ducie hails from the cornfields of Illinois and has been here about 14
years.
The love affair started somewhat as an accident. Dulcie was
holding a French coaching class one night and Murphy happened to
be the only student present. Since that time, there have been many
more coaching classes and a few bridge parties in West Hall.
Murphy plans to leave here in the Spring and go to a senior col
lege to get his degree. Dulcie plans to remain here at Brevard for
another decade or so. We all have faith in this couple and wish them
the best of luck.

NEXT WEEK ...
The nierchants of the city are going to do their utmost to gratify
the desires of our couple. John’s Other Chevrolet Company is going
to present them with a virgin 1949 Chevrolet. Our Chris-Craft friends
are giving them a two-passenger cabin cruiser; and may there be no
smoke on the water. The manager of the U-Wear It store is giving
the male a spring gabardine suit and an umbrella. The girl will re
ceive from Sam’s Drug store a year’s supply of fingernail polish that
can be used for anything from painting toenails to hard-wood floors.
So that the couple will miss no time in howling at the moon, Mitchum’s
drug company is going to present them with a year’s supply of no-doze
tablets. The local Commercial Chamber has in store for the couple an
all expense-paid trip to Hawaii. This will have to take place during
the summer vacation, and no chaperones will be allowed. Angel’s Fly
ing Service is going to honor the two with a Stensori Voyager, and a
map of faraway places will be given by Beng Croosby.
Our hats are off to an outstanding couple!

DEADLINE HEADLINES : ; :
We are glad to have the dean back with us after having spent a few
days in the Asheville jail on a charge of drunken driving.
Congratulations to Miss Smiths’ sophomore English class! Few
people believed that a whole class could make an “A” in one of her
classes.
We are all wondering when Peahead Andrews and his all-faculty
polo team will return from Havana. A report from Cuba stated that
the team was off-set when stable-boy Loomis got his ears caught in a
hay-lift and was hospitalized for six weeks.
Dr. Coltrane announced* to the press early this week that mixed
drinks could be sold at the remaining dances to be held this year.
We hear that the Brevard police department was not too pleased
over having to go to Ross Hall at 4 a. m. Sunday morning to quieten a
disturbance. Miss Wheless and Mr. Connally, the only two hauled in,
were released on $500 bond early Monday morning.
For the key to this nonsense, take a look at the dateline above.
And by the way—if any of you students are ever in Mexico City, you
have a cordial invitation to drop in and see the writer of this column
and the editor of the Daoer.
What’s Your
Opinion?
By FRANCES SLOOP
(What do you think can be
done to build up school spirit?)
Frank Thompson: “Practice
broader-minded friendships witk
less personal attention.”
Bob Davis: “I think there ought
to ie more student participation
in chapel programs and I don’t
think students should be allowed
to pay their way out of chapel.
We should get a school song and
should sing it often.”
Charlie Freeman: “More cooper
ation between the students and the
faculty.”
John Hyre: “The faculty and the
students should cooperate with
each other by supporting the dif
ferent activities around school.
Why doesn’t the faculty allow the
girls to participate in more activi
ties?”
Gardner; tympani, Jewell Sentelle;

$ion, Eiehard Kelley, fob Su&t
and Sarah fmman,
“Tudie” Crawford: “If the fac
ulty and the students would have
a little bit of ‘stick-to-it-tive-ness’
and keep the promises they make,
I think everybody would have a
little more spirit about the things
they are asked to do. Why doesn’t,
the faculty try some new method
of getting to know the students
better and maybe there would be
better understanding among the
two.”
Jack Bennett: “It would help if
all the students would speak to
each other.”
Frank Overman: “If the stu
dents showed more interest in ac
tivities, it would create better
spirit.”
Max McCracken: “The school
spirit would be better if people
would take more interest in the
school.”
Kat Adams: “I think the student
body should act as a unit to sup
port the school rather than be so
critical. They should be willing
to put more, effort behind it rather
than waiting for the other man to
start it.” p '
John McIntyre: “The students
should support the various clubs
and organizations on campus. In
this way, they would get to know
each other better and create a
