What Fools We Mortals Be!
ART BISHOP
In Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer NiKht’a
Dream through thev oice of the comedical character Puck,
Shakespeare uses the.se words: “What fools these morals
be!” Your reader in an effort to prove or disprove theae
words has played the part of the fool in asking certain
people around our campus some foolish questions. I ■wiU
let you decide whether or not the answers are foolish. Fool
ish que.stions asked by a fool should equal foolish answers!
If we had a nudist colony on our campus, would you
join it?
Brinkley Lewis — “Yes, if it was all girls.”
How many angels can sit in the eye of a needle?
PcKgy Rouse — “It depends upon how big the eye is!”
Does Mrs. Eagles smoke question marks between
Dr. Hartaock — “Yes, she rools big black cigars in
the kitchen.”
Do you think Miss Mildred Ross will qualify for the
Indianapolis Speedway race in May?
Mr. Milton Adams — “It is veiy po.ssible. For more
recent time trial information you might consult Mr. Mc-
Farlane since he accompanied Miss Ross to the basket
ball tournament in Lexington.” .
Does Dr. Long talk to herself in French or Spanwh.
Bill Boswell — “Both in all clas.ses.”
If fraternities were co-ed, would you join.
Joe Hardegree — “Yes, if they were on a national
basis.” . *u t
Does Kenneth Rouse have a sore ankle or is that a
ball and chain that he is dragging around? . . ■
June Young — “He is dragging a big ball and chain.
What will happen to the Lone Ranger if Tonto gets
drafted? „
Ellis Dennis — “Maybe he’d marry me.

Several Faculty Members Resign
m _ ^
Several ACC faculty members have tendfred their
resignations effective June 6, 1957. When the news hit the
campus the shock was so great that the Ki'a.'W withered
under Mr. Ramsjiy’s nose.
Dr. J. P. Tyndall announced that he wa>- leaving to
accept the presidency of the National Skin-Divers Insti
tute. Dr. Tyndall feels that he can make a great contribu
tion to this organization due to his ability to swim and his
great amount of skin. He feels that he can be a shining
light to all would-be, present, and has-been, akin-divers.
As a matter of fact, when he is standing in the sun he is
a shining light to everybody.
Dr. E.Hther Ivong is leaving ACC in order that she might
devote time to some poat-doctoral research. She i.n prepar
ing a paper on the subject: “How To Make French Stu
dents Shriek With Pain In the Kev of C-sharp.” "1 feel that
I can make a contribution to all language teachers on a
subject they are all vitiilly intere.sted in,” said Dr. Long.
Miss Sarah Hain Ward is also retiring from academic
life in order to devote time to writing. AIis.H War<l is at
tempting to write in the Mickey Spillane manner concern
ing her experience as Dean of Women at ACC. With her
tape recorder hidden in a flower pot in the rooms in Har
per Hall Parlor Mi.ss Ward has obtained a wealth of infor
mation about her subject. Billy Widgeon, Ronald Baker,
Chuck Hester, Jim Matthews, Jimmv Harris, and st-veral
others will probably taxe an extended trip to the south
pole upon hearing this information.
Mrs. Doris Capps will be leaving soon to take a posi
tion at Caswell Training School. The leaders at the school
felt that she had such a wide experience with dealing with
morons, etc., and was spending most of her time at Caswell
anyway, that they may as well put her on the staff. Mr.
Capps in to stay on at ACC in order that he might be a con
necting link between these two aimilar institutions.
The local S.P.C.A. has hired Dr. Mildred Hartsock as
a lobbyist at the state legislature. Dr. Hartsock is to wush
a bill extending “Be Kind To Dumb Animals Week” from
one week t« two. “I feel that it would be hypocritical to
stay at ACC to teach and be working for the S.P.C.A. at
the same time,” said Dr. Hartsock.
