Lucille Mixes Quaint Cocktail
Of Journalism, Matrimony
By W. H. Hipps, Jr.
If wedding bells ring anytime soon
for Lucille Cathey, she can blame, or
thank Professor J. Roy Parker s
class in country newspaper produc
tion. - i
Lucille says she is not planning to
marry anyone before June 25 at the
earliest, because she wants to get her
A.B. degree in journalism at the Uni
versity. We discussed her part in what is
becoming known all over the Univer
sity campus as "Lucille's Matrimonial
Bureau" over the supper table.
The first question to ask was, nat
urally, "How did a' pretty, brown
haired, blue-eyed girl get mixed up
with journalism and marriage at the
same time?" .
Hillsboro Paper Cause
"Well, the country newspaper class
here at the University uses a weekly
paper published at Hillsboro as a
sort of laboratory. One day last se
mester, we saw an advertisement m
the 'Personals' column of the paper
which created quite a stir of interest
in the class."
When asked if she had a copy of
the advertisement with her, she re
plied by showing me a clipping which
read: "If you want to get married,
write Box 853, J , Idaho. Send
stamp."
"I wrote to the address listed in
the ad," Lucille continued, "and re
ceived from them a printed form let
ter telling me the purpose of the
Union Club which had sponsored the
ad." After rummaging around in her
pocketbook for a few seconds, she
handed me the sheet.
If You Want To Marry
Her name was written in pencil at
the top and the president of the club
had signed in pencil at the bottom.
Here are some of the more interest
ing statements taken from that form
sheet: "Yes, we can help you find a
husband or wife as this club is strict

From Dr. Frank
Men and Women of Carolina:
Much of the beauty and charm of Chapel Hill is in the trees and grass
and flowers. The flowers come and go; the grass is with us always. To
cut up the beautiful green campus with irresponsible and ugly paths is
to mar the beauty and hurt the spirit of the University itself.
It is a source of gratification to us all that the students themselves
have taken the initiative to save the beauty of the campus. The Uni
versity Faculty Committee on Buildings and Grounds and the Adminis
tration are cooperating with the students by putting up money for the
restoration of the top-soil and grass for the sake of the beauty and
spirit of the campus. The test of the real freedom of the student body
is the acceptance of responsibility for daily citizenship in little things,
which become great things in expressing the real spirit of both freedom
and democratic responsibility.
The students themselves have developed a campus life, a freedom and
responsibility of their own whose rootage is deep in the soil of this
place and in the subsoil of one hundred and fifty years of history and
tradition. It is our faith that there is no freer, more responsible, more
developmental student self-government anywhere than the campus de
mocracy grown here in the one hundred and fifty years since Hinton
James became the beginning of student life at the University of North
Carolina. The message of this century and a half to us in this complex
world of strain and struggle is that liberty requires responsibility and
that rights require duties, and that the risks of freedom require the
protection of a simple respect for sobriety and human decency, rigorous
thoroughness and honesty in scholarship, a daily regard for the charm
and beauty of our grass, trees, and flowers, and a vigorous sense of
honor in all relations. Something happens here when hills, skies, for
ests, and youth get together. Sunset behind the hills, skyline above the
forest, unbroken greenness, majestic trees, song and story, picture and
play, prayer and aspiration are stuff out of which the human spirit
builds the nobler mansions of the soul and releases the spirit of youth
to have a creative participation in his own education. Here in the woods
of Orange teachers and trees, campus and traditions, library and labora
tories, within walls of ancient stone, in response to great human needs
in North Carolina and beyond have, with the voices of one hundred and
fifty years, called to youth to be intelligent, adventurous and courageous
in their struggles and hopes of the American dream to make the world a
freer and fairer place for all people as brothers of men and sons of
God. Our little campus is a vital part of this world. Let us all join as
teachers and students to make it more beautiful and free in its response
to the noblest aspirations of youth.
