I SPY (Continued from page 3) to a certain radio program on the way to a certain circus.... Bobbie Welch is safely enroll ed in Spilman Dormitory and not Melrose, where she was assigned a room before she arrived. ... For the benefit of the Edna Moore damsels, that Wayne Morris-y blonde in the Plymouth Sunday was Emily Thorne's brother. His friends? Ask Emily. . . . Poor Tommy and Carol!

Does he toot them out of the door with his so-called trombone music, or is he so good to them that he makes them homesick? . . . We've heard that Elaine Delbridge has the peculiar habit of sud denly taking a bath and that, consequently, Mr. Tilson has been asked to cover the foun tain with a heavy wire net ting. . . . Add to the list of those who left their hearts be hind them: Dorcas Cline, June McColman (fraternity pin 'n' everything), Gladys Turner— well, a goodly portion thereof, and that good-looking blonde waiter. . . . Did anyne hear Glad Reinhardt say that Brown sugar isn't what it's cooked up to be? Wonder what's the Reeceson? . . . Frank Parker of Wharton Cottage was one of the many new students vis ited by his parents Sunday. It's the parents that get homesick nowadays. . . . Well, fan my brow! Could it be wave lotion in that bottle going into 112— Students Attend B.S.U. Reception "What does your name be gin with?" "Bill! When did you get here?" "Whose name starts with a 'U'?" "How lovely you look to night." In this manner the annual B. S. U. reception got under way. Lowly freshmen learned that the formidable-looking C- II's were really grand people. The buildings reverberated with jovial merriment as once again another school year be gan. The professors and their wives showed that they could spread on ear to ear grin as well as anyone. The air was full of excitement and good will. The receiving line which ex tended half around the well- known little circle consisted of faculty members, members of the B. S. U. council and so ciety presidents. After much hand-shaking and serving of refreshments, the students gathered in the auditorium and song songs un der the leadership of Mr. Her bert Sebren. There Are BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS THAT WILL PLEASE YOU At ROBINSON’S FLOWER SHOP 5 Page Ave., Asheville, N. C. you guess what dormitory? No girls stay there. . . . James Hall thinks it's too bad that Con fucius is dead because it sure ly would help to consult him about an alibiography. Tried consulting the "three stooges" in Melrose No. 1, Jim? ... In cidentally, who's the red-hair ed guy Starkweather's been seen with lately? . . . Coinci dence: Lowell Shive at first thought he had a peculiar old lady in Gene Hart because he always mumbled "Willie" in his sleep. Ditto Willie Ruth Ed ward's old lady, who thought she heard "Jean." . . . Agee's slogan is "My old sylph by Anniversary!" Little girl, here's a hand! . . . Patsy McCleny would like to have it known that the M in her name stands for May and not "Margie," as many of the young gentlemen seem to think. . . . Bartling is our candidate to take over Pinnell's place. And Julia Hoover's hair most nearly matches Terry's. . . . And now, with a permanent crink in my neck and writer's cramp, I shall retire to brood. Campus Personalities (Continued from page 2) on, the campus this year is Mary Nell Hardin. As Presi dent of Nonpareil Literary So ciety, First Vice-President of the B. S. U., and a member of numerous other clubs she has attained a high rank in leader ship on the campus. Her scho lastic ability can be traced back through the days when she attended Lincolnton High School, where she was graduat ed as Valedictorian of her class Mary Nell acknowledges her passion for "Heath" bars, anc she adores rain. Among her pet hates are jazz, hill-billy music, and above all else— discourteous boys. She proud ly proclaims her favorite col ors to be black and gold, but for her own personal apparel she prefers blue which goes extremely well with her blue eyes and "peaches and cream' complexion. An ardent love for music naturally goes along with her soprano voice. Her modesty and. personal attrac tiveness ■ compel the respect and love of all. Gladys Reinhardt If you happen upon an at tractive blonde, always hust ling with oodles of work to do yet always laughing, you will know it is Gladys. She is pres ident of the Clio Literary So ciety, secretary of the B. S. U., and popular member of the Glee Club. She attributes her success as a debater to the training she received at her high school in Forest City where she was acclaimed best debater. Gladys is dubious about the possibility of finding a suitor who has a clever sense of humor and can still retain his dignity; All eligible males —one at a time—may call on Miss Reinhardt for half an hour after supper. She loves crum bly graham crackers and "zip." Her glowing disposition daz zles all who come around her.

Note: "Alibiography" was recently assigned as a theme subject in English I. Be low are some of the results.) "Alibiography might be term ed as one's revelation of ex cuses that he has made to save himself embarrassment at par ticular times. It might be de fined as the progressive growth in the art of advancing alibis over the span of one's life." "This wonderful device is not new in the least, and neither is there an exclusive owner. 'Tis a fact that Eve developed one so quickly that only a short while after creation she was able to utter the statement 'The serpent beguiled me'; and her husband, Adam, put into use his alibiography at about the same time with the solemn but fearful statement, 'I hid be cause I was naked.' " "I am the baby in our fam ily and a long way from home. Therefore, I do not think I should be made to write a theme on alibiography. I never did learn how to write themes any way, and I do not think that the English instructor should try to teach an old dog new tricks." "Because I am human and selfish, I won't take all the blame for my alibis; but I shall use ignorance as an excuse— the ignorance of not knowing exactly what I want my life to be." "While working in an office, I learned to use alibis so well that I convinced myself I was perfect and could not err. I be came so firmly confident of my perfection that, now, I find it very difficult to understand why I am not still employed by the Snazzy Suspender Com pany, instead of being forced to flounder in the slush of a W.P.A. ditch." 'Treating alibiography as a real personality, I have had many opportunities to see her. She has helped me out of in numerable difficulties and sav ed me from embarrassing sit uations. I must admit that I have taken advantage of her on more than one occasion. However, because of her great vitality, I am certain she will survive indefinitely." Band Elects Officers After rehearsal Monday night, bond officers were elected for the ensuing year. Matt Sumerlin was elected president. Other officers chosen were Nell Cochrane, secretary; Dean Willis, treas urer; and Erma Morris, li brarian. A HEARTY WELCOME STUDENTS!
