THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT
January, 1929
MUSIC
IJv iioiiri Louis iVIarshall, 29.
We)-e you evei- ulime and heard the
white-throat lark .‘-'.nging unto his mate
across a daisy field on a long summer’s
day? And did you notice the inviting wat-
ters as they poured into a nearby lake
Yes, he sang unto his mate and the cooling
water.s came down. And did you notice the
rhythm and swaying of the wa:er as it ac
companied the singing of the bird? Sure
ly there must be mu.sic in the waters.
On my way to town a few weeks ago, I
chanced upon a .miall ragged Negro lad.
He was dancing his feet and soul away
upon the sidewalks. A large crorvd was
ai'ound, mostly white, w'hlch sent forth
shouts of convulsive merriment—and pitch_
ing him a few pennies. A cop was seen;
the lad ran, and thus the scene ended.
Instead of the lad being the laugh'ng-
stock, he should have received laudable ex
pressions. There are many other lads who
possess qualities of humor, wit, rhythmical
niovement of the ieet, and the like, .and
are discouraged by such gahterings when
tl ey grow older.
Encourage, humor, wit and pathos in
childr-en. Who can tell if not a “Faiana,”
or Ernest Morriso.r, “Sunshine Sammey,”
is beiirg developed.
WHO'S WHO ON RETIRING STAFF
a bygone age. He is modern; and profita
bly so.
.Mr. FI. A. .McDowell
There is one real baby boy on our retir-
iirg staff and he is our Business Manager,
F-dward A. McDowell, of Statesville, N. C.
“Brother,” as he has been called, has also
been spoken of as “cute,” “smooth,”
“sweet child,” and more lately “Cave Boy,”
Ho is one of those I'eal collegiate types that
the sweet woman would drop a kerchief
for to see if he would pick it up and return
it to her as gallan'ly as a Sir Walter Ra
leigh might—but “Cave Boy” would not
pick it up or fall for such tomfoolery—he
is hai-d to that. Mr. McDowell has served
as foot ball trainer, President of the Hi-Y
Club, varsity base ball man, and as clever
Business Manager of our paper. He is also
a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fra'^ernity
and the Glee Club. Entering the Univer
sity in 1924 as a Second Year High School
student, he has now' reached the ranks and
realms of Sophomorcdom May all be well
with the “Cave-Boy.”'
It is here that we bring to a close our
review of the men that have composed our
Editorial Staff for the past year. They
have wrought w'ell and we beseech the
gods of the upper air to guide them and to
keep them; and, if, perchance, they can not
bo good, may they be careful.

ular antipathy toward blondes. We think
we know why.
Mr. C. H. White
Elsewhere in thsi edition you will note
some very important data concerning the
scope of our circulation. And the length
and breadth of it all is the result of the
interest of our Circulation Manager, Mr.
Charles H. White, of Louisburg, N. C. Mr.
White will graduate this year from our
Theological Department. As an honor
graduate from Mary Potter Memorial
School, he entered this University in 1922,
and has served as treasurer of the Y. M.
C. A. and Alpha Phi Alpha Chapter here
on the campus He is a charter member
of the Dumas Reading Circle, member of
the Mattoon Literary Society and Philoso
phy Club, and the student President of the
Theological Department. Mr. White has
not confined his interests to the campus,
but has also entered into the civic life of
Charlotte and we find that he is one of the
charter members of the Charlote Branch
of the N. A. A. C. P. Being so much of
a charter member one might b^.jt|impted
to think that Mr. V'hite was rather aged,
but he is far fiijn' ThatJ tef?s .afdeltghtful
personality with a rather rai;e proclivity
for diction.
■'■T>rdf."T'. S. Jackson
If a teacher’s ability to teach and to have
something interesting and worthwhile to
give his classes’can be determined by the
the number of students that seek his
courses even wdien these students know
that “Prof.”’ is ever ready to flunk you
( after you have flunked yourself) then it
can be said with ini))unity that the Treas
urer of our Staff, Professor T. S. Jackson,
is a master in his line, and he has been
so identified by national organizations.
With an A. B. from Indiana University
and M. A. from Chicago University, Pro
fessor Jackson (“Little Jack,” as he is af
fectionately spoken cf) has entered heartily
into our school activities and has served
.as Director of Extension Work, President
of the Athletic Beard of Con rol, and
President of the Charlotte Bvair h of the N.
A. -A. C. P. He is an active member of
the .Alpha Epsilon Chapter of the Kappa
.4.1pha Psi Fraternity. For six years he
has been at the University but in no way
has he lost his sparkling individuality nor
has he become subjected to the customs of

THE S.MITHSONSAN FRESHMEN
(Continued from page 5)
ing the spirit of the school, one would
naturally look to that of the Freshmen
first. The Morehouse foot ball game on
our campus was the one in which our school
spirit was at its apex. This was the only
occasion on which the members of the
other classes combined compared favorably
with the Freshmen. Johnnie Bogle, the
only All-American man of the University,
states that it is due largely to the loyal
support of his classmates that he fought
and gained nation-wide fame.
Not only have the F’reshmen cf Smith
increased the spirit, but they have raised
the standards, both scholastic and athletic.
.After conquering the bragadocial Sophs on
the gridiron, the Freshmen competed fa
vorably with them in intellect which was
proved in the debate in which the Fresh
men’s eloquence was superb.
Even though the exams are generally up
setting to the oldest faces on the campus,
in the recent exams the mighty Freshmen
held their ground. This was shown by
the systematized method in which they
governed their bull sessions in such sub
jects as Biology, Greek, Bible and French.
The basket ball season on our campus is
to be the center of attraction for our class
during the rest of the weeks. Our games
so far have been very interesting. The
succes.s of the famous five also is not with-
put the aid of a Fre.shraan in the midst of
its upward journey. This Freshman is
fleet-footed Bill Christian, that famous
forward.
The work of the Freshmen in Smith has
been remarkably c(.nstructive and it is not
a continuation of 'vhat has been started
by any other class, l)ut it is original in the
class of ’32. The spirit and ideals of these
men are worthy of more than casual re
mark. The standard is one that we aim
to carry higher and in so doing we feel
that we will only be doing our part in the
development of the instiution.
