ii BLUES Z-526 Published Weekly By The Students of Queens-Chicora College Vol. No. 10 QUEENS-CHICORA COLLEGE, CHARLOTTE, N. C. December 3, 1938 Former Ambassador Speaks In Charlotte Inglis Goes To Meeting Many Queens Students Hear Willizun Dodd Lecture On Germany William E. D. Dodd, former United States ambassador to Ger- nianj% spoke in a packed Central High School auditorium on “The Situation in Germany Today,” last Monday, November 28, at 8:00 o’clock. He was the first of several lecturers, among whom are Pearl Buck and Dorothy Thompson, to he presented by the Social Science teachers of Charlotte. Miss Oma Lafferty of the High School faculty presented Mr. Charles Tillett, a Charlotte attorney, who then introduced the speaker of the evening. Dr. Dodd. The first part of the former am- liassador’s talk was a preliminary leading up to the main part concern ing the situation in Germany. He stressed the fact that the United States was mainly responsible for Germany’s condition because she did not follow President Wilson’s advice nfter the World War. Dr. Dodd said that if we had joined the League of ^’^atlons and exerted our great demo cratic influence, Germany’s demo cracy would have succeeded and, there probably would have been no Hitler or Mussolini today. Furthermore, the renowned North Carolinian stated that if the present Hitler regime should continue for ten more years it would last for five hundred years. It is up to the dem- ncracies of the world and especially the ITnlted States to stand together nnd try to prevent the seemingly in evitable domination of central Eu- rope by dictators. The most urgent obstacle to he overcome at present. Dr. Dodd said, that of the Jewisli oi)pression and persecution by Hitler. Several dis tressing examples of this German en tanglement were given: in many churches Plitler’s statue replaces that Christ; there is a grotesque statue to the German who killed the ^ost Jews in 1933; every publica tion is censored by a German official ''’ho is arrested if he overlooks any thing. ^ Teacher Attends Convention Of Business Group In Atlanta Miss Mary Inglis, head of the de partment of secretarial administra tion at Queens-Chicora College, has recently returned from a trip to At lanta, Ga., where she attended the annual' convention of the Southern Business ’ Education Association, which was held in that city on No vember 24, 25, and 26.

No, you haven’t— but if you have, I know (to use a slang expression) they musta’ been awful “stiff” and boresome and un interesting ’cause slang is a vital part of our language today—take it from me! Why, shucks, if we couldn’t say “gosh and pe-tunia” — and “great glory” and words like that, our speech would he utterly lifeless! But just lately I’ve heard many new slang e.xpressions—and I’m tell ing you, the slang is about to blot out tlie real meaning of sentences. (Docs this make sense?.) And as I was saying—all these new slang ex pressions just go to show us that we’re getting jilum modern — and might near ahead of ourselves. Not long ago I witnessed one of the funniest sights I’ve ever seen. Three girls were standing on the front steps of Burwell waiting for a taxi. They were chatting about this, that, and nothing in particular when the taxi came. 'I’he driver, who was a man of about fifty' y'ears or so anyway, he was getting a bit gray around the temples—hopjied briskly out and ojiened the door—when one of the girls said: “Well, for knittin’ in the bath tub—I didn’t see the taxi drive in!” Well, the poor fel low got so upset, he groped around for his false teeth, which had, no doubt, jum])ed out of place, and crossed bis eyes, finally ending up (Continued on back pa£[e)
