.April, 1928 THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT Page Seven '7, I WONDER By Try N. Findout. TOUGH BREAKS SOPHOMORES THEG. A. A. The balmy atmosphere of Spring has awakened not only the once dormant buds, But even the G. A. Ice Box which has been termed “Extinct,” is now in full bloom. Our last meeting was one of much sig nificance. It was during this time that Bro. Foster, Tantalizing Potentate, was reinstalled because of insufficient evidence against him. Bro. Foster was carefully warned to refrain from calling Hemlock 14 — — J. V. H. Chavis was admitted into the mystic realm after proving con clusively that door knobs and footprints were all that First Ward held in store for him. For distributing illicit information and broadcasting in Greenville and Nash ville unauthentic repoits of the social dis asters of the Exalted Mogul and Keeper of Cash, Credit and Order, T. E. Gilliard, w'as indefinitely suspended. Other charges presented against Bro. Gililard by Bro. Belton were; Frequent visits to Greenville before and after sundown and eating sup pers off the campus. G. G. Lyerly received a similar suspension for the “Companionate Drill” ipp 'e with “Buster” Young during the wee hours of the A. M. We pause here to announce the establish ment of chapters of the Sisterhood of the G. A. A. at Charlotte, Hickory and Greens boro. These ladies desiring chapters in other cities, kindly send communication to the Ice Box. As the zero hour made its approach, Bro. Dawson, chairman of the Award Com • mittee, presented plans for the Annual G. A. S20.00 Prize Contest.” The said sum is now deposited in one of our local banks and will be given to the lady who guessing the meaning of the famous “G. A. A.” Write all guesses in plain English and ad dress same to the Worsiful Scribe before April 28th. In conclusion and in behalf of the G. A. A., we shall broadcast the names of the two Lone Wolves who live in the North western section of the second floor. Smith By Horse Feathers. Who is this fellow called T. N. Findout?

TANTALIZING POTENTATE. Broadcasting. Speaking of disappointments in love, the social outcast, better known as C. W. Ozier, has taken a new role.. He has become a crooning troubadour. At a recent visit to the sweetie of one of his brothers, he became rather sentimental and crooned the lastest hit, “So Tired.” Crump Watkins, victim of the backbiting, hearing of it, re turned and sang, “I Aint Coin’ to Play No Second Fdidle, “If I Can’t Play the Lead.” Join the Glee Club, fellows. Tough Breaks! Attention! Behold the renowned Mr. Leon Steele, whose blatant voice predominates quite a few “Bull Sessions” with his un tiring attack upon Yellow Money, Yellow Cab, etc., stepped out a few evenings ago with a real “Pink” and in the presence of the “Used-to-be.. Lee, apparently your famous aversion to that of lighter hue is lackadaisical. Yes, camouflage, for your actions speak so loud we can’t hear what you say. Tough Breaks! Hello, folks! Information, please. Whom ■will the Latin-American, Marchesa A. E. Manly, escort to the Omega formal? The two highest pointers are an “Alte Frau” and a “Junge Fraulein.” The opinion in general is that the “vet” will be among the “also rans.” Never no “Vet” always the “chippy.” Bad Breaks, Red! We do not know which is more difficult to solve, “Identity’s” Trig or how “Idewise” Vick burned S. P. U. light, endured warmth of Pocahontas coal and ingested Sunday din ners in Brooklyn all the winter and as soon as the Red, Red Robin returned he stopped suddenly. Now it may be 0. K. wid me, Vick, but the gang is resentful, in short, kicking.” Tough Breaks! The Potentate and most Worshipful Scribe of Charlotte and Knoxville Society, alias Ralph Ricks, surprised the Juniors a few weeks past by coming on the “Hill” early every night for a week. They thought that he was in abeyance from the “Pale Face” on his own volition but wait— a little bird buzzed to Obie that the Cres cent Limited (Nance) had arrived from New York City and the local had to side track. Rather exflremantious. Barney’s philosophy is that it’s the oil that lubri cates society and without it there would be no society. Adverse Breaks! This column has been asked to announce that the pictures for the “Bull” may prob ably go in late to the engravers due to the fact that the photography editor, known to the students as Klem, Junior, must spend his week-ends at Salisbury. Klem, why don’t you and Geo. Dockery go in and buy a new Ford and save the difference you give the Southern Railway? Tough Breaks! I hope you didn’t feel hurt, Don Juan, when the lady friends came out to the Smith-Albion game in a Studebaker from South Carolina. Ahem, my lad. Tough Breaks. The most popular co-ed among the Bulls that we know of just now is the vivacious Miss L. C. E. Both students and Profs’ fall for her like; dead pines, that is, all in pieces. We understand that she is in line for all the Spring Frat Banquets. Even the poor, unfortunate lover, W. L. Byi'd, has his bid in. We often hear the supreme monorach, Dockery, say, “She’s forty wid me, son.” A propos, what became of the in evitable Scott McKnight. Evidently he was no trouble. They tell me he passed out quietly. Tough Breaks! By “Fats” Whitehead. Since our last edition we have lost one of our dear classmates, Arthur K. Ray. He has gone to matriculate in the Pharmaceu tical school of Meharry. We wish him all the success in life. Mr. Joseph D. Taylor was called home last week on account of the illness of his sister. We hope he will return to us in a few days. Amid the misty days, glooms, and wor ries of the school year, last Saturday morn ing when he awoke, the goddess of love had made an attack on our campus, and snatched from us two neophytes, who by their past records and attainments, were considered worthy to go in J;he Greek world.. These men were: A. J. Clement, Jr., and Troy A. Johnson. “Boby” Ed. House, being weary and tired of the old gang, and in odrer to shake them off, went to Asheville to spend a week-end with his parents. Now that we have a new “gymn” we can nobly say that “Bud” Jones, “Cato” De vane, “Kewpie” Jenkins and little Eddie will be “Red” Granges and De Hart Hubbards for Smith. We, the members of the Sophomore class, wish all our patrons and friends a joyous Easter-tide. THE THEOLOGICAL CORNER By C. H. White. “■»D!>1M ’AV T The Freshmen class is well represented this season in base ball and each and every man on the team is doing his part to bring victory to Ole Smith. Tucker, “Baby” Mc Dowell, Ellis, Davis, Biggs, Massey, Walk er and a number of others are all begin ning a good season. We wish for you good luck, boys. “Little George” (to student discussing relative pronouns). Say. Mr. Brewer, if I were your cousin, what would I be to you?” Brewer, U. L.: “Why-er, Prof., you would be my antecedent.” We all heard Roy I.^e’s report of his trip to Winston-Salem during the time he attended the Y. M. C. A. Conference, but he failed to tell us about the young lady who was the prime factor in making his trip an overwhelming success. What about it, Lee? The members of the Freshmen class are really proud of their English instructor. He is one who can entertain, detain and at tain your attention from the beginnii^ of the day until the end. Prof. Brown .lour- neyed to Livingstone the other day to de liver an address and he really got away. The Brown Amusement Company has enabled the people of Charlotte to better understand and appreciate the Easter Sea son. On March 30th and 3Ist, under the direction of the Brown Amusement Com pany, Cecil B. DeMille’s production of “The King of Kings,” by Jeanie Macpher- son, -ivas shown in the city auditorium. This presentation was quite instructive, heart stirring, and especially appropriate for the Easter season. On Thursday, March 22nd, James Weldon Johnson gave a lecture at Johnson C. Smith Univei'sity which was a source of in spiration to all who heard him. His lecture caused us to have a greater appreciation for “God’s 'Trombones,” of which James Weldon Johnson is the author. His seven Negro sermons in verse have added to our Biblical insight of the Scriptures from which they were taken. The Theologs of Johnson C. Smith Uni versity will attend four Presbyteries. Mr. H. 0. Walker, ’28, is a candidate for ordi nation. The candidates for licentiation are: Messrs. E. A. Fortune, S. C. VanLanding- ham and C. H. C. White. Mr. A. E. Fortune wull meet Fairfield Presbytery which will be held at Winns- boro, S. C., March 28th. Mr. S. C. Van Landingham will attend the Presbytery of Catawba, which will con vene in Murkland church, April 4th. Mr. H. 0. Walker will meet Yadkin Pres_ bytery which will be held at Durham, N. C., April nth. C. H. White will attend Cape Fear Pres bytery -which will convene in White Rock Presbyterian church, Kinston, N. C., April Ilth-13th. Revs. E. U. D. Goring and C. M. Thorpe who are special students here, have met their theological obligations. They can en tertain pleasant reflections of their licen tiation and ordination. Messrs, J. L. Brewer and S. J. Burke are taking week-end trips quite frequently. We wonder why. We regret that illness has befallen Rev. J. C. Corathers. He has our best wishes for a speedy recovery from his undesirable “capturer.” The students there feel that^he should be a part of their faculty. But never no leave Smith, “Little George.” Well, boys, it seems that Fletcher and Wright are having a wonderful time in the “Ole Trig” class this semester. However Fletcher hasn’t yet learned to read the “Log. Table.” Stay in there and fight. Ole boys; that is one opportunity that will surely knock at your door again.” SEA FOODS ACME FISH CO. 331 E.
