What ever thoughts have 'had would have been too chilly for utterance. I could almost he a Pole cat, bzit I could not decide whether North or South. {’There is really no sense to that state ment.) Sut, this cold reave nearly made a “permanent^l out of me. EXCHANGE ■I In other words I was nearly frozen stiff and I haven’t thawed out very much as yet. Whatever may be the weather,- I caii always let iriy curiosity keep me 'warm. But this ihne there has not even been a mystery to solve. Very dolefully and mournfully I must sign myself this thne. With warm wishes for warmer weather. The Kampus Kat. Class Loyalty Forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty! Good! Just enough “casli” to go to town, go to a sliow, and go to the “Cally.” And then, on the ono-fovty-five bus every afternoon, especially Saturday, tlicre are girls and more girls, all desperately clutch ing tlieir “free” tickets (plus twenty-five cents) to take them in cither the State or Palace Theatre. What would Iiappen if there were no movies to attend once or twice a week? For one thing, if wc were to spend part of that'time in reading, perhaps the grades on tlie cojiipreliensive ■ English tests would range from 50 to 90, at least, in.stead of from to (to get these statistics, consult Dr. Harris or Dr. Johnson!) Most of these books with which we .should be familiar arc in tlie library and can readily be obtained as they are ahvays on tlic shelves. But, even at that, onr knowledge of books in general cannot be broad ened as much this way as if wc owned some of tlie most widely known books ourselves. Did you know that for less than the price of two movies (inchiding cai’ fare) wc could buy one good book—by a good book meaning one tliat we may read and re read, and with each reading de rive more pleasure tlian from tlie last. What a contrast with some of the pictures wo waste our fifty- five cents to see and which we rc- 'S.jiiomber about two days—or until we see another! If the purchase of a truly good book could be substituted “once in a blue moon” for one of tiiese bi weekly visits to the theatre we would surely be enlightened on literature a little moi*e than we have proved to be at present. Let’s try it! • M. C. I wonder hoM’ many of us feel that we supported our- hockey teams as we really should have. It’s always easy to sit back and let tlie “other fellow” go oiit and do the boosting, but if the “other fellow” feels the same way, who will support the teams Its nice to stay inside on cold days, but it was just as cold to the play ers, and they needed us to help them fight. They fought to win honor for their class—for your class and my class—and the least any of us could do would have been to give them some en couragement. If wo think wc “fell down” on our job during the hockey season let’s “make up” for it by supporting our basketball teams. The season opened Monday and there will soon be some thrilling clashes between classes. Let’s give them our support! E. M. Wouldn’t It jar You? We must have the worst hand writing on the staff. Last week the printer used “smile” for “simile.” Yes, we admit it made us smile—and the Pagan city, M'hcn Ripon is a Christian city “if there ever /Was one.” Did it jar them? We wonder. Speaking of day dreaming (tliis feature is our excuse- for day dreaming), a certain sopho more in answering roll call in Religion about a month ago absent-mindedly said “Come in.” Did it jar Dr. Freeman? No, he didn’t hear it. She: You’re like the sea. He! So restless and powerful? She: Noj you make me sick. JZoiwnda-—iParmville, V^. A Queens College student won a $60 prize in a national es say contest put on by the W. C., T. U. The Queens’ Blues speaks of “our hearts* being warm with enthusiasm for the winner.” Wonder whether she’ll lend her money? People used to search their family trees for their ancestors. Nowadays_ tliey search tliem for their offspring.—Virginiaji-Pilot. From the Creek Pebbles, Campbell College, we learn that Dr. Harris made a talk on “Reading and Writing” at the meeting pf the Epsilon Pi Eta last week. State College’s most famous co-ed breaks into print again in a “pie” atory. The story is liead S. 1416 (Page Mr. Canady). It seems J. V. H. Andrews lost a bet, with Paget, her English prof, on the Section and had tck give him a cherry pie. She’s'in,•; the cartoon and editorials as a result. . Such is fame! Eight sophomore co-eds at Duke receiv.ed pins in the shape of a D for scholastic achieve ment, for athletic attainment, and leadership during their freshman year [ ' - , The Carolinian has an. inier^ esting historical- supplement this week whicli is compiled partly from the old Carolinian files.

Oh, let my books be then ray substitute As they alone hold what I ought to know, For m4io with a week-end and theme to boot Can ever hope to make a decent show? Oh, read the joys that in my mind doth pass, And grade by these when I must come to class. Speak'ing of steam coming from our mouths (since we’re a regular factory, according to Dr. Winston), suppose we let out these long, shrill whistles like a factory one several times a day I WouldnH zt Jar youf We’ve been compiling statis tics of professors lately. One father’s profession is “railroad ing.” WouldnH that Jar Yon? Another' sells fertilizer and then real estate. Wonder if there’s any connection between the two? There ought to be. Our soph class president, as well as many other fblks,' has a fad for “hating with a passion.” From Salem comes this: “Bishop Rondthaler hates moving pictures with - a passion—a Purple passion.” Personally we prefer red or crimson. Did you know St. Mary’s and Peace girls weren’t supposed to go off Fayetteville Street? Mere dith gii’ls weren’t allowed to once —for fear they’d buy wieners and disgrace the college. Wouldn't it jar you? Ye honorable editor came in the office to pay her annual fee and very trustingly gave us $10. She was the only person who would trust us. Are we so criminal in appearance?
