What a field for the prospective archaeologist of the human mind! The favorite CI food, accord ing to Walton Connelly, is hamburgers, and according to Joyce Benfield “anything.” In between these radical views we see the good conservative chocolate pie with ice cream, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, fried chicken, or candied sweet potatoes. Miss Fisher’s “blues” and Red McLeod’s playing re ceived a large number of favorite campus entertain ment” votes. Plaudits also go to Margaret Hoyle for the singing and to the Saturday afternoon matinee. What are the favorite places for dating? The amphitheatre gets the most votes, and then comes the Big Circle (without chaperone), the Cascades, New Dorm Hill, and Edna Moore parlor, or “just walking.” The favorite popular songs of the Cl’s are first “Love, Love, Love” and “Mairzy Doates,” then “My Heart Tells Me,” Stormy Weather” (poor soul!), and “For the First Time.” Along the classic lines, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony gets the largest number of votes. Others aie Ava Maria and T s c h a i k o wsky’s Nut cracker Suite. The boys definitely prefer blondes to brunettes. Why we do not know. The girls vote six to one for the Navy as against the Army and Marines. Hobbies—hobbies—now let me see who has a hobby around here. But first, let us see what a hobby really is. Mr. Webster, whom we consult on such matters as these, ex presses it in the following terms: “A hobby is an engross ing topic, plan, etc., to which one constantly reverts; also, an occupation or interest to which one gives his spare time.” Since we are strictly on the term of hobbies. I’ll devote a little time, and what have you, to turning over a few fossils and digging up a little dust that might bring some inter esting hobbies into view. For instance, Mr. Canup, one of our noted professors, has as his hobby collecting pencils. He has quite a collection of them and beams with pride in telling the history behind each one of them. Mr. Trentham has several hobbies such as collecting bottles, rocks, and colored glass. These are very interesting, but let us get an idea of what some of the stu dents are doing in their spare time. In my browsing and snoop ing around I find that the hobby most popular with the girls on the campus is—you guessed it—collecting men! Well, if not men themselves, their photos and snapshots. In fact, there is quite a collection of these photos on our campus. I Naturally this is a difficult I hobby to keep up with as-any girl will tell you, but every girl is working dilligently for the goal of having the most photos lined up on her book shelves. A close runner-up to the photos is the hobby of photo graphy. Since the war has caused a scarcity of films and materials used, however, it has had a drop in enthusiasm. Yet, Pop Stringfield always manages to have a few films, as photography is his hobby also, and I’m sure you very industrious people might man age to get a few pictures taken of yourself — providing Pop gets to take them. Poetry comes in about third. What is it about “in the spring a young man’s fancy . . .?” Maybe that has brought on the sudden inspiration of col lecting poems and sweet nothings that appear in your current magazines. Some peo ple, however, are original as well as industrious and write their own poems. Beulah Hise has a collection of 301 four-leaf clovers. Maybe she would sacrifice one to you to make a wish on—providing you don’t go away with it. Madelyn Goodman has a hobby of raising gold fish, while IJnda Edwards has a more dignified hobby of col lecting tea cups. Among other hobbies are collecting shoes, unrationed of course, miniature dogs and horses, souvenirs, newspaper (See HOBBIES—Page 4) Gonnelly Chosen President student elections, held the week of March 13, showed the students’ choice for the presi dency of the B. S. U., 1944-45, to be Walton Connelly, of Clif ton Forge, Virginia. Connelly, already well-known at Mars Hill for his capabilities as a leader, holds office as presi dent of the CI class. The duties of B. S. U. president, highest campus honor, are to super vise and lead all religious ac tivities of the college, and act as chairman of the B. S. U. Executive Council. During the week the other twelve qualified members of the Council were elected. These officers were chosen from the student body at large for their recognizable quali ties of leadership. They are first vice-president, Louise Harris, of Morganton; second vice-president, Connice Peter son. of St. Petersburg, Fla.; recording secretary, Howie Bingham, of Knoxville, Mary land; corresponding secretary, Mary Sue Middleton, of Ra leigh; treasurer, D. T. Caro wan, of Pantego, N. C.; Sun day School superintendent, James Taylor, of Jonesville; B. T. U. director, Ronald Hill, of Spindale; Y. T. C. president, Carl Westmoreland, of Ruth- erfordt''n; Volunteer Band representative, Beth Jones, of North Wilkesboro; Y. W. A. president, Betty Crouch, of Valdese; and town representa tive, Clyde McLeod. These new officers will be installed officially May 1 and will begin work and training for their duties of the follow ing year. Definite constructive activity in all phases of cam pus religious life will then be in the hands of this group. Just Notes From * Sarah And Dick* “Do you promise to love, honor, and show obsequious ness (ahem!) to this woman?” “Yas suh,—er, pa’don suh, but did yuh say ‘obey’?” “That’s what I said.” “Well suh, ah’ll go back to me other ef ah hafta obey dis one too.” Since they have begun omitting the part of the vow that mentions obedience, this wouldn’t be the case today, but a big dose of flickleness is shown in the illustration. For some of the fickle people who thrive on our campus, the idea above expresses the indecision which is coupled with fickleness. But we were talking about “Love, Courtship, Marriage, and the Home.” Is it all right for a girl to make a date? Well, according (See HOWERTON—Page 4)
