INQUIRING REPORTER
Into the mail bags again to play
another nasty trick on the unsus
pecting Belle whose correspondence
your reporter quoted so admiringly
in our last issue. Quite by accident
I drew a letter to the boy friend out
of that familiar brown bag. Again
I feel that the omission of a single
word from the following document
would be a corresponding loss to the
reader and have included the epistle
in its entirety:
Sunday Afternoon
Egbert, dearest.
Well, here it is Sunday afternoon,
the afternoon when most all the girls
have dates on the campus. You re
member that boy you said would
phone me when I got back to school ?
I think he was a frat brother of
yours. Well, he finally did phone
and asked me for a date this after
noon, and I said yes. Then the other
afternoon downtown I met him with
another boy who is a friend of my
roommate’s. And today the funniest
thing happened — his roommate
phoned to say that your frat brother
couldn’t come because he had fallen
down the steps and had broken his
Medulla Oblagatto (or something
that sounds like that). I feel so
sorry for him—I don’t know what
it was that he broke, but I’m going
to ask my biology teacher tomorrow.
I guess I’m glad he didn’t come be
cause he didn’t seem to be my type—
he was silly.
Yes, I did hate to come back to
school. But why did you ask me,
“How did you find school?” You
see, I always come back on the train
and never do seem to have much
trouble locating it.
I guess you know the main reason
that I hated to come back. Gee,
Egbert, outside of my little guinea
pig, I miss you most of all. It must
be true that absence makes the heart
out of its mind.
I hope that you weren’t mad when
you saw me with Paul out at the
country club. You see, he had the
top down on his car, and, well I was
just a wreck when I got there,
finally. Paul said that he knew
you’d understand something like
that, and that you ought to. You
see, even he appreciates how nice
you are.
I’d better go back to my studies
now; education is awfully impor
tant, you know. Write to me soon.
All Ways,
Just Me.
Sociology Class
Hears Dr. Hepbriin
Noted Criminologist States Rea
son for Large Amount of Crime
Due to Irresponsible Authorities
Sociology class attended the second
in a series of lectures which are be
ing held at the United Church, Jan
uary 21. The speaker. Dr. Hepbrun
of Baltimore, has studied the subject
of crime throughout twenty-seven
nations and has been honored by
many institutions.
The noted criminologist feels that
the reason so many crimes .m the
United States are_ unsolved is tuat
too many authorities believe the so
lution lies solely in their own hands
rather than in the hands of all the
authorities co-operating in the solu-
Dr. Hepbrun made the amazing
announcement that the city of Balti
more, in the course of a year, had
ten times as many crimes as the city
of London. . x
The reason for this lamentable
situation, according to authorities
from all over the world, is the lax,
corrupt, inefiicient ?dmmistration of
justice in these United
solution Mr. Hepbrun said, lies m
effohs of all
to eradicate this condition. It .is up
to the individual to so discipline
himself that he may, m the future,
be capable of electing only the most
intelligent and the wisest of magis
trates.
Dear Brutus Declared
Success By Audience
Cast and Miss Davis Receive
High Praise. Over Fifty-three
Dollars Turned Into Defense
Bonds for Endowment
■ Saturday night in Saint Mary’s
School Auditorium the curtain rose
on the Dramatic Club presentation
of J. M. Barrie’s Dear Brutus. After
the first exclamations at seeing room
mates and friends in costume on the
stage, the audience settled down to
enjoy a well-staged and beautifully
acted performance.
Despite the distinct^ handicap _ of
having girls acting in masculine
roles, the cast gave a splendid per
formance. However, The Belles dis
likes hearing the cast pronounce
“stupor” as “stooper,” and “dew” as
“doo”; it is too much like Brooklyn.
Ann Castleman as Lob, Kathryn
Norman as Mr. Dearth, and Brook-
sie Popkins as Mrs. Dearth deserve
special mention for their characteri
zations.
The story of Dear Brutus takes
place at the country home of Lob,
an odd creature whose guests know
little of him. On Midsummer’e Eve
the guests venture into a mysterious
wood and return, having learned a
lesson stated by Cassius in Shake
speare’s Julius Caesar: “The fault,
dear Brutus, is not in our stars but
in ourselves that we are underlings.”

Hardre Speaks On
Conditions In France
U. N. C. French Instructor TeUs
of His Fighting in French Army
Before Vichy
Jacques Hardre, a former soldier
in the French army before the fall
of Paris, spoke to members of the
student body and faculty on Wed
nesday, January 21, in the audito
rium. Hardre, now a member of
the Romance languages faculty at
Carolina, related some of his war
experiences and gave several expla
nations for the fall of France. Jean
Lyon, president of the French Club,
introduced him.
According to M. Hardre, while the
friends of France have read many
accounts of the reasons for her fall,
few know the facts. “iVmericans are
resentful,” he said. “They feel that
France has let them down.” Why?
Some belieA’e treachery is the expla
nation for France’s defeat or lack of
stamina, or England’s desertion of
France. “I have no answer,” he de
clared. “All I can do is tell you
what I saw.”
The speaker arrived in France in
December, 1939, just in time for the
“Phony War.” Little was going on.
Life as usual was the motto, al
though streets were filled with Eng
lish, Canadian, and French soldiers.
“But, after all,” Monsieur Hardre
continued, “we were used to uni
forms ; we were brought up to know
what war was like.”
