Globetrotters See Wonders
Of World in One-Night Tour
By Louvene Jordan
A late report from the manager of our local shoe repair shop
reveals his intentions either to commit suicide or to enlarge his
concern because of a sudden rush of business. We can see what
he means ... This B.S.U. “World Tour,” given last Saturday-
night to welcome new students, has left students tired but so
educated that they are challenging any encyclopedia.
At 7:30 Saturday evening a
bell beckoned the eager souls to
the auditorium, where various
groups were given road maps to
follow. A glance at our card re
vealed that we were to be treated
to the wonders of “Nigeria—
gymnasium.” Bewildered, we en
tered the gym to find it con
verted into an African jungle.
Goose pimples appeared on our
epidermis as sounds of tom-toms
pierced the chatter of the tour
ists.
This scene was interrupted by
the appearance of native women,
who crept up stealthily, their
rings flashing—in their noses.
The bell rang, calling us to Clio-
Phi Hall and we left the weird
atmosphere of the aborigines,. We
then came upon Palestine. There,
surrounded by Arabs and desert.
President Blackwell enlightened
us, from his o-wn experience, on
the wonders of the Holy Land.
Next on the list was Japan. We
entered a colorful Japanese gar
den, populated by maidens who
evoked such comments (from the
male tourists) as, “Japan, here I
come!” Classical music like Hong
Kong Blues created an Oriental
atmosphere and carried us into a
neighboring country, China. Here
were ostentatiously dressed Chi
nese, old, young and middle-aged.
In a dusky street scene were
found beggars, tea shops, idols,
and dilapidated buildings.
Last on our schedule was a res
taurant “south of the border.”
With flashing teeth and black
hair, the southern “glamazons”
stole the show. With a weary
“buenos noches,” we left this
scene to go to the auditorium,
where stimulating drink (hot
chocolate) was served.
The “world tour” has been pro
nounced as successful, exceeding
all expectations. Organized groups
of students, under ,B. S. U. di
rectors, spent the better part of
Saturday afternoon arranging
the campus-wide spectacle.
March of Dimes
Nets $51.65 Here
The last report on the March
of Dimes drive at the college
shows a total collection of 51.65.
Miss Eula Mae Young, of the
Registrar’s office, received con
tributions. A special collection
was made in chapel January 27.
Many of the students contributed
to docal high school collectors who
canvassed the campus.
