Eavesdropping and Interviews
"I know it's going to get me
something in: the end," admitted
the Sophomore who comes all the
way back from Durham sometimes
to attend his lectures, "hut going
on class every day is the most lire
some thing in the world."
It hardly seemed credible that
he had been present often enough
to have appreciated this classroom
monotony, but it doesn't take a So
phomore long to get wise to some
things.
-v Studying is all right. Plenty
of people enjoy that, read twice the
amount required by their English
and History courses or find them
selves fascinated by their experi
ments in the Lab. And there are
professors whose lectures stimulate
real interest, even enthusiasm, so
that the students may go full ten
minutes without looking at their
walehes. Usually the class drifts
into the room, drops into the seats
and arranges its feet. If it be a
Freshman or a Sophomore class it
will stand at the door and hold .its
watch for five minutes unless the
Professor arrives in the meantime.
Having arrived the Professor calls
the roll, sums up the situation in
a few characteristic phrases and
then goes on to dissect the subject
to be considered. Now and then
he intersperses his remarks with
questions, selecting, it would seem,
the people least qualified to
edify the class with their answers.
The class is not disappointed, it
doesn't expect to be edified. It is
usually looking at its watch and
calculating the number of minutes
that must elapse until the next bell
rings.
With a few glorious exceptions
classes are just like that. This is
no reflection on the learned pro
fessors -they are as bored as any
body, or more so, and with reason.
"What is the difference between
an idealist and a realist?"
, The Junior President flung the
question at an unoffending co-ed
who was making her way from the
Library to Peabody during Chapel
time. As .a veteran of the Spring
Term of "Logic" who had chased
reality through the twelve stages
so abstrusely ; described by Mr.
Bradley, through five inches thick
ness of book.. The co-ed felt con
strained to answer and to answer
logically. We need not linger over
the processes of her feminine
mind. Sufficient, to say that she
managed to answer and at some
length, hoping thus to make a good
impression of much learning.
The J unior President smiled
condescendingly. "Yesterday," he
said, ."I too could theorize; today
I know. A man who walks out of
Durham towards Chapel Hill at
eleven o'clock at night is an ideal
ist. When he gets here at two
A. M. he's a realist."

A famous scientist was present
at a dinner at which one of the
guests began to deride philosophy,
lie went on rudely to express the
opinion that the word "philoso
pher" was but another way of spell
ing "fool."
"What is your opinion, profes
sor ?" he asked, smiling. "Is there
much distance between them?"
The professor surveyed his vis-a-vis
keenly for a moment, then,
with a polite bow, responded:

table." N. C. A. & M.

Athletic Notes
How any one team could roll
up 222 points against another is a
mystery. We reserve the right to
believe that Cumberland was play
ing blindfolded. '
There is no doubt that Tech has
a heavy and fast team, but David
son held them to nine points. Tech
also made I y first downs against
Davidson's 5, but that again proves
nothing.. What we do know is that
Tech played ragged football and
fumbled frequently. The claim
of some that Tech has Southern
Championship stuff is largely true,
and good deal of doubt : on that
subject will be settled this after
noon." . '- - .
The following men will proba
bly start against Carolina : Dun
woody, Bell, Fincher, Phillips,
Lang, Carpenter, Senter, Morri
son, Str upper, Johnston, and
S pence. Strupper is a good broken
field man, and J ohnston - is fast.
Senter was chosen last year as an
All-Southern end.
The fact that Alan Thurman has
returned seems to cheer Va. up
considerably. The Charlottesville
team showed improvement against
Richmond College. The game with
Georgia today with Thurman at
his old place in tackle will be view
ed with more or less interest by
South Atlantic prophets.
Their inability to down Char
lotte last Saturday seems to have
wakened the Freshmen and they
are improving in form and ag
gressiveness. Sparr is again in
the line-up and Conrad is back at
tackle. .Herty is still on the in
jured list, which Tayloe also join
ed last Tuesday, bruising a muscle
in his back in scrimmage.
The class football teams may of
may not be. They are trying to
come into existence and a trying
time they are having. The powers
in class football circles extend a
hearty invitation to all promising
material. The Greater Council is
taking an interest in class athletics
this year, which should be a help.
The team left yesterday for
Atlanta. The Tar Heel invasion
of the east is a thing of the past,
but the good calibre met at Har
vard and Princeton awoke a new
feeling among members of the
squad -the realization that all men
are human. The Northern exper
iences will greatly aid our men in
the game today. :
A week of bad weather has har
assed the team, but in spite of that
they seem in excellent shape. A
few have acquired injuries, Ten
nent chiefly, but all should be well
in trim at the starting whistle.
