w Page Seven February, 1929 THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT COLLEGE GLEANINGS By A. J. Clement, Jr. With this edition of our school paper we present to our friends a new Editorial Staff. We feel that this group of stu dents who will now direct the publication of our paper will carry on in a manner well woiithy of emulation. Here’s wishing them the favor-ed success. Messrs. Charles White and Caesar Walker were recently called home on ac count of the death of their father and sis ter respectively. These gentlemen have our sincere sympathy in their sorrow. Prof. Geo. Brown is ever in demand as a speaker. Prof. Thornton and Mrs. H. C. Dugas are ever liberal in giving of their musical talents. These activities on the part of our faculty family inspire us. Inspiration from the family circle is rare but most vital and far-reaching. The formidable Leon Steele for the first time is in a quandary. Gastonia charms him. Salisbury entices him. Lovableness has its disadvantages; attri butes must be balanced. “Pomp” Horne and one Ted Brown seem to have the horse-fear of railroad tracks. They generally turn to the right one , block this side of the Southern tracks. Infatuation is another illusion closely akin to love. Prof. G. F. Woodson, Hopson Biggs and Clement journeyed to Greensboro and Dur ham last week-end. Biggs proved to be the best strategist of the three. (He re turned with his pin. Cannady is in Belmont now. Vick has ursurped “Nap’s” throne in Gastonia. Lee has landed the K. 0. to his aspirations of the artistic Fletcher. Cannady, Vick and Lee are the most widely heralded trio of “Two-Week” Lovers on our campus. 0! Fickle hearted men _ __ —.and women. Prof. A. A. Adair, Revs. J. W. Mano- ney and C. M. Martin, and Dr. and Mrs. Martin were recent visitors to our cam pus. Henry sighs as he thinks of the High School. Mebane woiiders about the Ra mona of South Carolina State. Pressly admires the Bro\/n colors. Whiteman disseminates first-hand knowledge to novices. Clement and Cannady read “Companionate Marriage.” Everybody lolls about their House. Twenty per centflj of the students struggle with their stu dies. Eighty per - cbrit cry with a loud voice when they miss a “sop,” “I faw” down and go boom.” Professors Manard, Wallace, White, Neighbors, Robinson and Mr. Wm. J. Trent, Jr., all of Salisbury have been dowm to look us over. We appreciate the com ing of these gentlemen. Chavis, Troy and Coleman just will “mess up” their love affairs. The basket ball team leaves on its Northern trip. Debat ing will soon have all of our attention here on the campus. And the good school life wnll roll on forevei'. I wonder who attempted a suicide. I wonder W'ho is called “Bandana Ba by.” I wonder why Cannady goes to Belmont so often. I wonder who is filling the shoes of “Truck-Horse.” I wonder why so many “Frosh” punched the mid-year. I wonder if Barney has sevei'al rela tions in Shelby. I wonder what college Prof, uses H. S. Methods. I wonder who was envious of LaSaine’s basket ball technique. I wonder why Mr. ‘Squ'ats” visits are so few to Smith Hall. I wonder when the L. C. P. Prom is slated. I wonder if the Teachers’ Association will convene on the campus. I wonder why “Eiggun” never makes a party. I wonder if the banquet importation will be larger this year. I wonder when our paper will be pub lished promptly. I wonder when “little-Goat” will shine his shoes. I wonder what Senior is the “dancing apache.” DER ERLKONIG-THE By H. L. Barksdale By Try N. Findout I wonder where Sparky got his girl in the Kewpie Prom. I wonder if Mr. Johnson still makes his Gastonia runs. I wonder who is called “Dr. Ham.” I wonder who thinks Shubert is still alive. I wonder who is the biggest “bum” on thei campus. I wonder how long “Fats” will hang in on First Street. I wonder who sold votes for the title Miss Va. State. (A Translation from the German) I Who gallops through the night so wild ? It is a father with his only child. Whom he embraces with an arm. And with a love secure and warm. II “My child, what tenor pales thy face?” “The Erlking joins us in a race; My father clad in silver shroud.” “My son, ’tis but an evening cloud.” III “You lovely child, come, go with me! ; Many pretty games I’ll play with thee! Many flowers grow in the lea. And golden garments I’ll give to thee.” IV “My father, my father, do you not hear, What Erlking promises so soft and clear?” “I hear not, my child, be at ease; T’is, the breeze aslir among the willow trees.” V “Will you, my son, come stay with me? My daughter awaits your company; My daughter now will gladly lead. And dance with thee through dale and mead.” Vi “The Elfin from tl;e far North land. My father by the loadside stands.” “My son, my son, I see it there: ’Tis the moonlight in the willows bare.” VII “I love thee, child, thy beauty snares; Are you not willing my joys to share?” “Father, the Erlking holds me to atone! I go with him, I leave thee alone!” VIII The Father groan.s, he iddes as w'ild, He holds in his ami his only child, His only son was cold, was dead; And speechless hung the curly head. SMITH GETS NEW INSTRUCTORS (Continued from page 1) Teacher of Mathematics at Burwell Normal School, Alabama. That the University is growing, is un doubtedly true, for what other than addi tions can possibly .indicate the very ne cessary expansion in the College or Arts and Sciences. DAY BY DAY AT JOHN SON C. SMITH UNIVER- sin DERBY I ! By “Van” Are you acquainted with the Senior Hall of Fame? Well, don’t rush girls! Scottie McKnight w'as chosen, in preference to “Barney” Whiteman, as the most boo-ti-ful man in the class. He has “It” also. “Bob” Crater was unanimously declared, even af ter his declination, a.s the homeliest. Can you believe it? Forty Seniors can’t be wrong. None other but the ostentatious “Dusty” Byrd is the posthumous Rudolph Valentino, the Big.gest Shiek. You all have surmised that as the Biggest Bull-shooter “Dick” Cannady had no competition. For ethical and personal reasons I .shan’t di vulge the name of the “Biggest Bum.” But is an honor an honor, or an honor not an hnoor ? Any way as soon as I can bori'ow another sheet of x^aper and some Prince Albert, I will emit the name of the mendi cant hobo. Courtesy is a precious gem but rarely possesed. The class in Industrial “Chem,” after securing the permit from the head of a rubber plant, was held up at the en trance, in spite of the cold rain and snow, by an impertinent, uncouth, gate-keeper, a proletariat indeed. Even after being told that a class in Industrial Chemistry (which he evidently thought was a Black Labor Union as he indicated the sign, No (A passing nod to 0. 0. Mclntyi’e) Awake betimes and to my window to do my daily dozen. A big sui-prise and a beautiful spectacle! Our annual blanket of snow had arrived. Its presence is always a delight, but like a mother-in-law’s vis it, its disappearance is always equally ap preciated. To the Science Hall, but in my haste around the corner of the Library “I faw down and go boom. 0*’*"^ 0*. Mondays are also blue in the class room. Recitations are invariably dull although students have the week-end to “dig” they are incredibly insipid. But there is q rea son, “cherchez la femme.” Mondays are also popular days for the monthly quiz. Evidently proxies find something else more luring than tests. At breakfast I chat with Count “Al” Manley, as popular at Smith as Al Smith on the East Side. He is Editor-in-Chief of the 1929 Bull and The University Stu dent, also of Spanish Honduras nobility, yet not ego. Ideal comrade. In the afternoon to the photographer that he might get niy face punt for pre sentation in the “Bull.” Then down Second Street which is no longer the mecca of the bourgeoise or Nigger Heaven of Char lotte. From a noisy, blase street, it has become quiet, staid and forsaken. No longer is a host of inebriates seen loitering around. But with the completion of a two-story edifice the entire length of the “Block” now under construction there, will be a rejuvenation of that old gla mour. After dinner at ihe cafe de la Patton I journey to the City Auditorium to see Ziegfield’s Rio Rita. The singing and danc ing was extraordinary. The elaborate scenes and abbreviated costumes were pleasant to the optics. The rendition of the popular song, “Rio Rita,” by Jim and Rita, was superb. ^In tot.i the show was remark^ able, yet inferior to the Broadway produc tions. Due to the location where Negroes must sit I missed most of the jokes. Also incidentally or rather unfortunately tore my pantaloons on the dilapidated seats. Again we begin lo view | time and consider the many • ■ on the campus of Johnson i | versify. Among the various | that the Derby Club is still e I haps you had wandered just | become of the little Derby syho I if you will just watch the rem ! sues of The Student you will fin I is still alive. I The Club was re-erganized a fe| ago and now under the present aJ tration it is looking forward to a successful year. The following men were elected to. offices: President, A. W. Waddell; Vice-Pre dent, Jas. A. Jones; Secretary, J. j Blount; Assistant Secretary, D. Pettway Treasurer, 0. J. Taylor. Wo were pleases to have with us at this meeting Mr. C. C. Shute, who is a charter member and also one of the founders of the club. We still have jour same motto: S—H—U—T. The writer now leaves you to guess who wrote this article. Guess how many members there are in the Derby Club. Guess who will be the next President of the Club. Guess when the Club will be represent ed in the “Bull.” Guess why the President does not visit on Plank Road any more. Guess who will attend the Derby Club “Prom.” Guess why the Vice-President has busi ness on Caldwell Street so often. Guess how many derbies will be seen on the campus this spring. We regret that there are so many ap plications for membership that cannot be filled on account of their scholastic stand ing. RICHARD B. HARRISON TO APPEAR (Continued from page 1) are accurate and painstaking in every de tail. He has been pronounced the great est interpreter of Dunbar on the American platform today. Mr. Haimison is more than an artist; he is an unusual person ality who has recently been accorded high honors in his chosen field. He is a men>- ber of the Lecture Staff of the Federated Council of Churches of New York City, and at the present time is about to be taken over by one of the most outstanding Concert Bureaus of the country which will manage his concert tours in the fu-. ture. Let no one miss' this opportunity to hear America’s greatest Dramatic Reader. On Tuesday evening, March 19, 1929, Mr. and Mrs. Saveli Walevitch will appear in a Russian I’olk Song Program of un- usal merit. DAY BY DAY (Continued from page 5 column 3) Employees Wanted,” to us) we had to en dure the downpour until he had telephoned him “five or six darkies is out ’ere. You know anything about ’em?” We gained en trance. An intelligent but not educated gentleman directed us through, explaining every detail but not in the lingo of the chemist. Natural Science Teacher: “Rastu..;, what animal is mo noted for its'fur?” Rastus: “De skunk; de more fur gits away from it de better it is fur ’ —Goblin.
