bandana around your head. What a
sudden change in your way of liv
ing.
It seems that all the chillun around
campus with the lumps, we mean
mumps, are keeping Miss Juanita
“You need a pill” Perdue unusually
busy these days.
Faye “Why don’t you do right?”
Thomas is walking on the sunny side
of the street since slie and Bacil “Tall
dark, and indifferent” Steed got on
the up and up.
About all the girls around campus
have some form of jewelry from a
serviceman, but it seems that Margar
et Anne, “I’m busy tonight” Clayton
is the only possessor of a Para-Troop
er pin.
Is Husted going to Durham again
this week end? Must be a traveling
salesman.
Leon “How green I am” Gibbs was
un to his old tricks last Friday night.
We hope you renewed that old ac
quaintance. Editor’s Note: That “How
green I am” phrase was used in ref
erence to the paint that Gibbs got into
one night and not his personality.
Jetton Cherry kinda worked him
self into some publicity last week end
when he went home, leaving everyone
here with the idea that he had the
mumps and should be in bed. Naughty
boy.
Margaret Rice seems to be having
herself some huge times here of late.
Nice of you to help entertain the
cadets, Margaret. They all seem to
enjoy your company.
Congrats to Hazel Walker and Earl
Farrell on being elected queen and
king of the May Day Festival. We are
sure that you will give the annual
event the right touch.
Hannah Martin has requested that
we use this space to ask A|S Stevens
why he is so bashful. We hope AjS
Stevens will enlighten her in this
matter.
Did you hear about the two kittens
watching a tennis match and one of
them turned to the other one and said
“My mother is in that racket.”
This is strictly talk from the third
floor of West Dorm. If you hear any
body saying “Well Good,” you'll know
Gladys Rakestraw is somewhere
around.
Wonder what Doris King would do
if she didn’t get a letter from Elmer
every day?
Did you know that here is an art
gallery on campus? Just take a look
in Hilda Malone’s room and see
the boys’ pictures lined up.
The girls around West tell us that
Ann Hester can really give out with a
Yankee brogue. Could it be that she
has been dating too many fellows from
above the Mason and Dixon?
Earl Farrell, Mark Andes, Walstein
Snyder, and yours truly went to Ra
leigh the other night to hear a well
known Criminologist. It was very in
teresting and an enjoyable time was
had by all.
It’s not too common for some per
son to be mistaken for another
but when Flight-Lieut. Fred Gilliam

could no.t be justified. Engla’jd, Bel

The German state is a pyramid,
each man with his foot on the next.
Arrogance and worship of authority
go hand in hand in its peculiar psy
chologic complexity. Uniforms, flags,
boots, the shouts and the trappings of
war, came back with Hitler. And
they were welcome. Constitutional
rights were at once destroyed. Weap-
pons became the industrial goal. Mili
tary schools supplanted liberal educa
tion. It was the German way. No
university, no party, no cult of people
revolted. Only a few martyrs rose in
protest. And the masses of Germany
approved the persecution of the Jews.

she is also outstanding in church

Finley Thompson, in California. His
work is interesting, but of a type so

He’ll be on new assignment soon.
