JOLTS AND JARS
By JOHN POLLARD
Rooming at Publishing House was
quite a revelation to those of us who
had never before lived in a coal mine.
It was with considerable interest that
wf watched the inspectors from the
Bureau of Mines inspect the Anthra
cite Apartments. Living in the “Apart
ments" is much better than having
a coal mine in our back yard as they
do in parts of West Virginia and the
lilce; here you have one in bed with
you. According to those who ought
to Icnow, this is the main reason the
Anthracite Apartments are still in
operation. After all, why should
there be a kick when the Southern
Railway so graciously deposits all of
the coal gratis. After this all you
have to do is sweep it out of your
bed and run it through the stoker
again. Our first couple of mornings
v.ere somewhat disturbing; we were
not sure, from the physical appear
ances of some of our fellow inmates,
that we had not stumbled into a co-
racial college, but within a short while
wn became accustomed to the Publish
ing House minstrels, burnt coal and
all, singing “ Every Day About This
Time.”
Another of the built-in conven
iences we were lucky (?) enough
to procure was a built-in shower in
our room. This shower is very mo^
bile; it follows us all over the room,
or vice-versa. This miniature water
fall is certainly no “ drip ”; in fact,
it gave George a chance to put some
of his education and teaching knowl
edge, gained from the efforts of Dean
Messick and Miss Moore, in this
field, no doubt, into practice by teach
ing the rodents how to swim so that
they wouldn’t drown in the middle of
the floor or disturb our cherubic sleep
with their frantic cries for help. The
only disadvantage to this shower is
the unexplainable (?) fact that it only
operates when there is a precipitation
of the elements (known also as rain),
when the radiator upstairs is on, or
when someone is lucky enough to find
hot water to take a shower with.
Speaking of hot water Is still wonder
ful, when you c«n get it.
And still another convenience of
this construction nightmare is the
gentle (?) and reeling rocking of the
building (?) when the iron horses
romp down the stretch. When a
train comes by, this “Arthur Murray ”
of the dormitories makes Paige and
Strader look like a couple of Civil
War veterans who forgot to take their
vitamin pills. This is very handy if
you are in the act of preparing a
milkshake, or some other mixed drink.
Its value in lulling babies to sleep
cannot be overemphasized, nor can its
help in the agitation of photographic
films during development. How
ever, if plans come through we will
be set — as far as getting up for class
es go (Deosn’t that make you happy,
Mrs. Phillips?). We are dickering
with the Southern Railway to send a
train through about seven every morn
ing so that there will be some purpose
in getting knocked out of bed.
We really have some beautiful plas
tering; that is, if you like your plaster
just as well on the floor, in your bed,
hair, etc. From the enthusiasm that
the walls put into their unpredictable
“ strip-tease ’’ one need never worry
about insomnia. After all, what’s a
little “ plaster dandruff ’’ or a knot
on the head?
Another good thing about the An
thracite Apartments is that you do
I not have to walk as far to find out
that you do not have any mail.
PI KAPPA BANQUET
The Pi Kappa Tau sorority traveled
to the O. Henry hotel in Greensboro
to have its thirteenth annual banquet
just before the spring holidays. Be
cause of the gas and tire situation, the
girls and their escorts went over on
the morning train and spent the day
in Greensboro, having lunch there and
attending the movies in the afternoon.
The banquet was held in the Victory
room of the hotel, and the meal was
served by candlehght. Hazel Walker,
who was toastmistress for the occa
sion, gave the welcome toast, to which
Tony Festa responded. Among the
other toasts, an especially appropriate
one was made by Mary Deane Browne
to the men in the service.
The sorority sponsor, Mrs. John
Phillips, was the honor guest of the
evening.
NOTES FROM THE
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Ernest M. Skinner, head of the Skin
ner Organ Company of Boston, Mass.,
was on the campus Thursday, March
11, to look at the organ in the audi
torium. He was of the opinion that
the organ would eventually dry out
and be usable in several weeks.
The fifth student recital of the year
will be held in Whitley Auditorium
Friday afternoon, April 2nd, at 5
o’clock. Piano, organ and voice se
lections will be rendered by students
of the Music Department.
TO AN INVISIBLE (?) BLONDE
UPON REQUEST (?)
By Herbert “Redwing” Spivey
I was once asked to write a poem
about you.
But I didn’t know quite what to do.
So down I sat with an absent mind.
To worry over your imaginary kind.
To see you would no doubt give me
inspiration;
To hold your hand would drive me
beyond intoxication—
And closing in for the touch
Would send me away on a crutch.
To caress you and know the enchant
ment of your presence
And your roselike lily breath
Would likely be my death.
I crawl away on my face,
Wish you’d call me “Ace”—
But, shucks, we’ll never meet.
Helen Margaret Messick will give
a graduation piano recital on the eve
ning of April 14th in Whitley Me
morial Auditorium.
A selected program from the De
partment of Music, and Jimmy Dar
den’s play, “ Sweet Genevieve,” with a
cast including Mary Denson, Edna
Truitt, Miller Basnight, James Dar
den, Raymond D’Antonio, and Joe Liv-
erman, will be given the evening of
March 23 at 8:15 in the Little Chapel.
This first-night presentation of the
play will be followed by its entry in
the original one-act play contest at the
University of North Carolina in the
Playmakers Theatre at Chapel Hill on
March 27.

A COCA-COLA?"
TTiat actually happened. And things
like that are happening everyday.
Ever notice in your newspaper how
often Coke is mentioned? Boys write
home about it, too. They like the
taste that sets Coca-Cola apart.
They welcome that feel of refresh
ment. Coca-Cola must remind them
of home a lot. It reminds you to
refresh yourself."
