"Sausages for Philosophy" is Fair Trade
According to Tobias and German Friend
Among the odors of Mem. Hall
last Friday afternoon was the
smell of sausages. Being a "nose
for news" reporter, I followed my
nose to Mr. Tobias' office and
there, to my surprise, lie had 15
pounds of German sausages
spread out on his desk, lie hales
me in a jovial manner and next
thing I know 1 have smelled the
2t different Varieties and my
salivary glands are functioning
(I'sv. 1). All the time Mr. Tobias
is repeating one phrase: "From
Philosophy to Sausages." (A re
porter begins and ends conversa
tion with questions). In answer
lo my eager questioning he tells
the story of his college days.
(No, he isn't a magazine salemau.)
It seems that he and Hans
Loch, a German classmate, are
supposed to be studying philoso
phy, but instead they both have
a yen for sausages. They trek |
across Germany toasting sau
sages and since every town and
county has its definite tradition

story, "The Courage of the Common
place." Joseph Peele is a former teach
er of elocution and pastor at Guilford.
and way to make sausages, a
great many flavors are produced
in each district. (By the sau.
sages ye shall know the town.)
Mr. Tobias and his friend became
professional tasters of the sau
sages.
But this story goes 011: Ilis
friend is an attache at the Ger
man Embassy in Arkara, Turkey.
Mr. Loch is still studying phi
losophy but is unable to obtain the
books lie wants. Mr. Tobias makes
a bargain (these shrewd Ameri
cans). "If I send you philosophy
books, will you send me sau-
Ilans Loch immediately writes
to his mother, who lives in Stutt
argart, Germany : "She makes se
lections and sends the sausages to
her son's American friend."
So, it is sausages for philoso
phy. A good bargain, eh, what?
This remains to be seen, as I am
| told that certain members of the
j faculty are to be invited to Mr.
; Tobias' home for a sausage tast
ing party in German style.
