CONJUGATION IN THE FUTURE TENSE All of us have been in school long enough to be able to look back on our past experiences, both good and bad. All of us are en joying the school now as we advance year by year. We have a never-ceasing interest as we hear news from the schools we used to attend. But how many of you have much in the future? That’s where the freshmen have it over you. Ihe seniors are almost through with college life; the juniors haven’t far to go; the sopho mores are well-rooted in the work, and the freshmen have just begun. We are therefore looking forward with greatest interest to learning the conjugation of the future tense. PERHAPS YOU LIKE TO READ Spring, with its crisp freshness, is conducive to searching for new things in books. So let's look around the bright corners of the new publications for something to read! “Union Square," l)y Albert Halper, 378 pp, The Viking Press. A novel of New York life. “Ann Vickers,” by Sinclair Lewis, 562 pp. Doubleday Doran and Company. Another major Sinclair Lewis story. “Eyes of Love,” by Warwick Deeping, 386 pp, Robert M. Mc Bride and Company. A charming love story. “One More Spring,” by Robert Nathan, 212 pp, Alfred A. Knopf, Publishers. A fender, mocking story of the depression. “Boat of Longing,” by O. E. Rolvaag, Hfarper and Brothers. Powerful stor}' of a lonely immi grant. Two Outstanding Biographies: “Life of Richard Wagner,” by Ernest Newman, 512 pp, Alfred A. Knopf, Pulilisher. “Marie Antoinette,” by Kather ine Antony, 302 pp, Alfred A. Knopf, Publisher. Our campus offers so many in viting nooks in which to sneak away with a book. So, come on, grab something to read, and I’ll meet you out yonder under the pine tree for an hour or two of real fun. WORLD TOPICS Konrad Bercovici, in his recent ly published book on the Balkans, gives an interesting account of the personal habits of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish dicta tor who has put Turkey on the map, so to speak, during the past thirteen years. This is what he says: “He eats only once a day, but that meal is a banquet. He drinks great gobs of good wine and smokes incessantly. Pressed hard by work, he does not change clothes for weeks at a time, even sleeps in them. But, as Ashmet iMuhtar, Turkish amliassador to the United States, aid: “Kemal Pasha is no ordinary QUIT YOUR KICKING This admonition may 1)e entirely needless and impertinent. That’s all right. Only the l)ig dog howls. I repeat, quit your kicking. This remark is addressed to those students who constantly find fault with the school, its laws, and administration ; to those students who complain of the food: to those who complain liecause they have to work once in a while, and to those who say; “I hate this doggone place.” Not one of us is compelled to stay here. We came here voluntarily. We are free to leave just as voluntarily. Just keej^ in mind that no one is begging you to stay, dear Knocker, and il you can’t find something constructive to say, just keep cjuiet. OUR CAMPUS PETRIFIED TREES W’e had a famous naturalist visit our campus last fall. Can you believe it? He found petrified trees on our canqius. I don’t know wId- the news has been held under pressure ever since, but just this last week Dr. Frazer received a letter from him. It is so thrilling that he wants to publish it here. Dear Dr. Frazer: Since visiting your college in the fall, I have been investigating further into the astounding growth of petrified trees. It made your campus seem old when I found such trees there, but I want to advise you on one point. Petrified trees are detrimental to- the growth of other plants on the campus; hence, they should be removed as soon as possible. There is just one more thought in explanation. Those dead trees are represented by a few members on your campus that pull things down. When entertainments are given, they won t attend unless it is compulsory. Only a few go to literary society pro grams. And this spring when you had a well-known visiting flutist, there was almost no audience. Those people who are as lifeless as a petrified tree ought not to be there. They hinder the growth of the college. Sincerely yours. North Carolina Forestry Commission. The Puerto Rican House of Representatives now has its first woman member, klavia Luisa Arcelay. d'he Moscow police seem to be well-trained in their schools for “militia-men,” as Russians call their policemen. One young police student went to the house of an old peasant who, from all appearances, had been burned to death in his sleep. However, this prospective policeman saw metal glasses on the old man’s skull. He knew that the peasant wore glasses only when reading. Why would he go to bed with them on ? Upon investigation, he learned two suspicious-looking men had lieen seen in the vicinit}-. When he later found the two men, they confessed their crime and many others. The United States is not alone in its acclaim of President Frank lin D. Roosevelt. J. L. Garvin of the London Observer sees in him, not only the great leader of America but the leader of the whole world for the next eight ■s'ears.
