Page 4 THE DIALETTE March, 1950 SPRING FERVOR C. Burgess Well, it’s spring once more. Of course, we’ll probably have a couple of inches of snow and a few more freezes yet, but that is beside the point. For, as I said, it’s spring—I have proof of it. The birds are singing, tut that is not reliable proof, for there are as many simple-minded sparrows in the world as there are people. For all they know, it might be January. No, I have real proof, furnished by real people. Dust that hasn’t been moved in years, at least in months, is be ing ushered out of its hiding places and taken out into the world. Books are being fished from under the bed and lined up neatly on the desk.

It must be spring; what else could cause such a revolution ? Don’t be worried, though, if this industrious urge hasn’t hit you yet: maybe you will be affected in quite a different way. Maybe you are among those who are finding it ncessary to sit down and rest between one class room and the next—not consump tion, but spring fever! Forlorn creatures are sitting around all over the campus looking like the “before” picture in an advertise ment for liver pills. Their gener osity is appalling. They are will ing to give you every text book they own—books which previously they have guarded with their lives. Letters are pouring out to big sisters, and moms and dads. I haven’t been reading your mail, but I know what they say: “you are so sweet—big event coming up—no clothes—no money— quit school—buy clothes??” And lor no apparent reason a new dress arrives. You can afford to give away your psychology book, yo know plenty! Charming little slogans and mottoes are stuck under the edges of mirrors advising: “Why take life so seriously— you’ll never get out of it alive,” and “Don’t study when you are tired, or have anything else to do; Don’t study when you are happy. North Carolina Home Is Under Construction That Montreat is growing is evidenced by the fact that another new building is under construc tion. Built by the Synod of North Carolina, it is to be called North Carolina Home and will serve as a guest house for all religious workers. The Synod of North Carolina is planning to subsidize its operation so that all church workers within its bounds may find entertainment at minimum rates. This new structure will occupy the site of the old North Carolina Home burned a few years ago. The estimated cost of this construc tion, to be built of native stone, is $76,000. It will contain sixty guest rooms and will provide all the conveniences usual in a small hotel. For that will make you blue. Don’t study in the daytime. Don’t study at night; but study at all other times with all your main and might.” Every night girls practice the art of fluttering their eyelashes in front of their mirrors, each one dreaming of the conquest she will surely make THIS spring! If you aren’t willing to accept these signs, then you will have to take the simple-minded spar row who is yelling his head off— probably the best sign after all.
