The cncouragiiig news about
education in Nortli Carolina.
Tlie Senate has just passed a
uniform eight niontlis school bill
with an appropriation of $1(5,-
000,000. Tliis is even more tlian
tiie govcrnH’ asked for—$500,-
000 more in fact. And regard
less of what the merchants tliink
about it, it looks as if n sales tax
of sonic kind will have to folloM'.

WELCOME VISITORS
Each year the faculty and
students look forward to tiie Hos
pitality Week-end, when the stu
dents from the high schools are
their guests. Although the time
this year falls on April 1st, we
hope to give them a really good
time—and that’s “no fooling.”
The Communists down in Mex
ico have been causing quite a bit
of agitation recently on account
of the a})pointment of Mr. Dan-
niels as ambassador to that re
public. Tiieir objection is based
on his landing American marines
at Vei’a Cruz during the tiriie he
M'as Secretary of the Navy. The
Communists accuse Mr. Daniels
of being an imperialist.
I.ITTLE THEATRE I»LAY
The second production of the
Little Theatre, “Milestones,” will
be given in tlie niiditorinm to-
night.
The club ])roduced a good play
in the fall. Tiie cast has been
working for some time under tlic
direction of Miss Ethel English,
so the spring jirodiiction i)roin-
ises to be equally as .successful.
The complete success of the
play, however, will dc}>GMd with
the attendance of the entire fac
ulty and student body.
SENIOR CLASS I’LAY
The senior class }>lay, which is
to be given next Saturday night,
could hardly have i)een hotter
chosen. Any play of Bari’ie’s is
always popular and well received
This is pai'ticularly true of the
present play, “What Every
Woman KnoMs.” liy having the
play early this year instead o
during cxanj. week, the class
hopes to have a large audience.

and a member of the Gloe Club

TWIGLETS
Did you hear about Sophie’s
saying s!ie thought she ought not
to have to pay but half fare on
the new bus because she wasn’t
sitting down (except where there
were no bumps, which is half the
time) ?
Did you hear about the fresh
man who told an inquirer she
supposed this must be “a finish
ing school” because it was nearly
finishing her? Maybe that’s why
the epidemic of nervous break
downs.
And tlien there’s the biology
student who thinks a blizzard is
something you find in a chicken.
And perhaps Miss Johnson
and Miss Brewer would be inter
ested in learning that some peo
ple think a cateract is a trained
cat.
Chancellor Hitler of Germany
has ordered a boycott against the
Jews efi'ecti\T Saturday, April
the first. This boycott has pro
duced a protest by the general
public everywhere. Recently
meeting in New York Cit}' M'as
attended by sixty tliousand Jews
and their sympathizers, Alfred
Smith was one of the principal
peakers who voiced his displeas
ure at the treatment the Jews
were receiving. The Jews fur
nished fiftv-fivc thousand soldiers
in the German ai’mies during the
World War and ha\’e ever been
loyal to tlie country in which they
live. Albert Einstein has decid
ed to renounce liis citizenship in
Germany duo to the fight of tlie
Nazis against his ])eople.
So the newspapers say. And,
iucidcntallv, one learns a good
deal about world—and home af
fairs from the newspaper. If
you’ve been reading the paj>ers,
you’ll know most of the im
portant news of tiie day; and if
you haven’t, this column wouldn’t
lielj) you, anyway.
UNUSUAL VARIETIES
OFFERED IN MILESTONES
w'on an orator’s medal for her
eloquence in public speeches?
And of course you heard that
Grace Lawrence suggested Sun
day was no lioliday for a certain
one of Browning’s characters be
cause she would have to go to
cluirch,
Did you hear that a certain
faculty member went to sleep in
church once and woke up to a
dead quiet and started to ap
plaud?
Did you hear about the chem
istry teacher who had a faculty
meeting postponed because she
M-anted to see Greta Garbo’s new
est picture?
Did you know Pat {“Patrick
Henry”) Abernethy recently
And speaking of medals, some
one is going to give Poodle Bar
ker one for organizing a society
of fellow sufferers to console
each for saying untactful things
they had better left unsaid. And
some one else is planning to or
ganize a club of Baroness Mun-
chausens to think up clever bed
time stories to entertain our
poor, over worked S. G. Council
every Monday night. But M’e
can’t tell you who that is, be
cause it’s a “deep, dark secret,
but maybe Eliza Briggs could
tell you—after the way she
scared a certain freshman by
saying she was on the council.
Emily Miller is thinking of
opening a “style shop” she’s ac
quired so many new clothes re
cently. Just get her started on
the subject and see.
And while we’re Jianding out
prizes let’s give the platinum
brick to Dcmenet for the cham
pion bone.

In fact, we’ve heard this i.s to
bo more than a one ring circus—
we ])romisc thoi-e’ll he at least
three. Peg LeGrand shows great
promise in becoming the future
“America’s Sweetheart” as she is
the lover, husband, and—tiie
inevitable grandfather. Of
course, Ctn’nelia Atkins uses her
wiles and well known “it” in !>o!d-
itig her lover’s attentions.
All in all, we think the show
is sure to bo full of fun, and cer
tainly the all star cast is worth
oursu])port. Remember! Satur
