The Campus
By Joe Jones
Greensboro College last week prov
ed herself an excellent plance for the
convocation of a collegiate press con
vention. She. demonstrated to all the
Carolina, Dook, State, et cetera male
delegates that she can be a gracious
hostess as well as she can sit bacic ana
be reserved. Shelet the delegates
know she was glad to have them there,
but she didn't act too glad; curtsied
and smiled without kissing their hand,
so to speak. She gave them three
days and two nights of good time,
good business meetings, good food,
beautiful weather, and a good movie
v fnm VnTfvam in -few cnnrl maasure.
It was a delightful convention.
College Boys Pilfer
Fifty Pounds of Frog
State College Students Taxed Costs

Those in attendance were given a
chance to hear Carolina Dean Hibbard
talk on the college critic, a chance to
hear Carolina alumnus Louis Graves
talk on the weekly newspaper, to hear
Carolina alumnus Joe Bobbitt talk on
"How to Interview Lindbergh," hear
Carolina Alumni Secretary Spike
Saunders' excellent afterdinner talk,
Carolina student Garland McPher
son's report on the Buccaneer, Caro
lina student Guy Hill's" report on the
Yackety Yack, Carolina student Bob
Brawley's report on the Carolina
Magazine, Carolina student Glenn
Holder's outstanding discussion in the
'editors' meeting, and Carolina alum
nus Mayor Jeffries banquet speech,
all of which goes to prove that the
North Carolina Collegiate Press As
sociation's seventeenth convention was
hist about a Carolina affair. And
. wait a minute folks Carolina student
ole Walt Spearman was president of
the whole doggone convention, and sat
up alongside the pretty secretary from
Meredith, and presided and grinned
and got red, in the face and introduc
ed speakers as only a good Carolina
man can. And to keep Carolina's fist
in the pie, Garland McPherson went
. arid got elected treasurer of the As
sociation for next year. And don't
think that convention didn't get told
about next year's Carolina daily Tar
Heel! Rah, Rah, Carolina!
Two State College students taken
into the hands .of. the law last Wed
nesday for stealing a stone frog and
a stone turtle from the yard of a
Raleigh residence. The boys were fined
costs and required by the judge to
carry their loot back to where they
got it from while a grinning cop ac
companied them.
Neither the court nor the cops could
understand what the ; boys wanted
with the turtle and the frog, both of
which weighed more than fifty
pounds. Late Wednesday night an of
ficer . found them lugging the stone
menagerie out toward the college.
It was not the first time the frog
and turtle had been pilfered, and a
year or so ago some Cary high school
boys carried off a few cannon balls
from the Capitol Square. It is said
that police are expecting to find the
ten-ton "Confederate Mother" perch
ed on the Riddick Field home plate

Rhodes Scholar To
Be Selected from
This State in Fall
All you fellows should get to be
editor or business manager of some
campus publication so you can go to
a collegiate press convention. It's
worth it; you have a swell time. First
you do your duty; that is to say, you
go to all the business meetings, attend
all the lectures, and let Carolina be
heard from at all the discussion
groups; then you pin on your member
ship ribbon, go out and meet all the
pretty collegiate editors and business
managers from Queens, Meredith, G.
C, N. C: C. W., etc., then, flaunting
your red membership ribbon, you get
in free to "Chinatown Nights" at the
National, " Alibi" at the Carolina, a
big banquet in the ball room of the
King Cotton, another big banquet at
Sedgef ield Inn, another big banquet
in the Florentine room of . the King
Cotton, and another big banquet on
top of Greensboro's highest skyscrap
er, The Jefferson Standard.
Nell Battle Lewis, North Carolina's
woman journalist, made a talk on the
column and columnist mighty good
talk too; said that columnists were the
highest paid writers on the big dailies.
(Daily Tar HeeT ahead.) Nell had the
appearance and speech one would ex
pect a newspaper woman to have; she
was snappny dressed in a gray
business suit, neat low-heeled shoes,
a nose for news, a sparkling eye, and
a handbag to match. Beginning her
talk shortly after three o'clock Fri
day afternoon she spoke so straight
forwardly that she finished in time
to get down town and catch the four
o'clock bus for Raleigh. This pleas
ing to-the-point manner of speaking
was only, equaled at the convention
by, Dean .Hibbard, who finished his
talk Friday morning in time to get, to
the Sedgefield, links for several holes
of golf before Spike Saunders was
ready to bring him back .to Chapel
Hill. '
A delightful feature of the Sedge
field Inn banquet was the dance of
the maidens, danced between the
tables in the center of the ball room by
two little nautch girls from N. C. C.
W. They were good all right! Th$y
danced like the proverbial thistle
down, and they certainly made many
a weary editor forget his troubles for
a little while.
About the only fault to be found
with the convention is the fact that the
membership ribbons weren't much
help to the members in bumming back
to the Hill Saturday afternoon.
County school trustees of Idaho

flying visit" to . the Morrow country

taking up aviation.
Garden Clubs Visit
University Campus
The fact that the people of the
state are interested in gardening and
grounds decoration is shown by the
fact that last week the High Point
Garden Club visited the University
and that some time in the immedi
ate future the Garden Club of Wil
son will pay a visit to the University
campus for the purpose of learning
more about gardening through dis
cussion of its problems and exchange
of ideas with Dr. W. C. Coker of the
Botany Department.
Last week the twenty-five mem
bers of the High Point club who made
the trip to Chapel Hill spent' a day
with Dr. Coker going through the
Arboretum and inspecting the grounds
Of Dr. Coker's home. The group that
will make the trip next week will
probably follow the same procedure,
visiting the grounds and discussing
ground beautification with Dr,
Coker.

building McNeally said, "The best
thing that I can think of to do with
that instrument is to get another one."
, As the character of work that the
music students do requires a correctly
tuned piano, the expense of retuning
the pianos in, the practice building
after they have been used by out
siders is a heavy "expense to the de
partment. .
In concluding his appeal; McNeally
stated that anyone who is interested
in using a piano for a special purpose
should see Mr. Weaver or Mr. Mc
Corkle at Person Hall and arrange
for the use of an instrument in the
practice building.

J. W. Holt spoke of the develop
ment of the electrical railway from
its beginning , as short toy street car
lines, which were novelties and the
toys of scientists, to the present-day
trend of all great railway systems

T?be story is told that a certain man once im
portuned a famous financier for a loan involv
ing a considerable amount of money. "I cannot
give you the cash," the magnate is said to have
replied,"but I'll let you walk arm in arm with
me across the floor of the Stock Exchange."
Pardon our enthusiasm, but it's a good deal like
that with aman andhis cigarette.To be seen smok
ing a Chesterfield, for example, is to be marked as a
gentleman, a scholar, and a judge of good tobacco!
Kentucky Colonel or swashbuckling corporal
in the Royal Mounted Wall Street magnate or
dashing cowman of Cheyenne a Chesterfield
smoker is entitled to respect (and yes, even
credit!) from his fellows.
Go where you will, you'll find Chesterfield
everywhere admitted to the inner circle of
those in the know. Such endorsement was
earned by good tobacco and taste with six
million voting. V
