Crittenden Exposes "Boners" University History Professor Releases Small Number of Total collection Gleaned from Years of Experience in Grading undergraduates7 Quizzes, Exams, and Reports. NUMBER 120 As the days for .examinations draw nigh, this department feels that it is more than appro priate - to present, both . for amusement and as a warning excerpts from a collection of boners compiled by Dr. C. C. Crittenden. Dr. Crittenden has been teaching American history, for several years here at the Uni versity and before that he taught at Yale University where he re ceived his doctor's degree. With the numerous quizzes, class reci tations, book reports and all the other obligations of the history department, he has had a splen did opportunity to make such a collection and apparently the students too have made good their 'opportunities. In the papers on European history such things as these were found: England was the mystery of the sea. Marco Polo was the pope who drew the line of papal damnation. King James I worked very hard on the Bible and finally turned out the edition which bears his name. The pope was forbidden to propogate. Philip' II sent an alma mater against England. The medieval philosophers took certain things for granite. The pope's office was hereditary. Concerning America Concerning American history some of the more confused stu dents made such futile stabs as: Penn and his ancestors made big profits from Pa. When the soil lost its virginity the settlers did not know how to fertilize it. Sit ting Bull started out to fight the whites; the first thing he did was to stand up. The only wild animal domesticated by the In dians was the squaw. John Marshall was an ances tor of George Washington. The 14th amendment made citizens of those born or neutralized in the U. -S. Drake prayed on many Spanish ships. The Re publicans were opposed by the Democrats and No-Nothings. The Negroes were better off as slaves in America than in Africa running around eating them. selves. In the election nf 1844 Polk was a black horse. The leaders of the humanist movement were called humorists.

( UP ) :lhe administration sharply curtailed grants to 21,000,000 needy persons today as relief funds dwindled, and the new $4,880,000,000 works relief bill program remained in a Senate deadlock. Republicans' have accused the administration of crying , "wolf ' before, but this time off icials in sisted that they were within less than $87,000,000 of the absolute bottom of the federal relief chest. Issue to Rest The Chamber of Commerce of the United States meanwhile de manded that the embattled relief funds be cut to $2,000,000,000 or less, and that responsibility for construction and other work relief projects be left entirely to the individual states. Both sides of the Senate bat tle seemed content to let the is sue simmer over the week-end. Washington, March 2. (UP) The government spent nearly twice as much as it took in dur ing the first eight months of the fiscal year, the treasury depart ment showed today. In the eight months ending February 28, the federal gov ernment spent $4,511,935,368 and received $2,262,012,133, leaving the treasury $2,249,- 323,235 in the red." Federal Commerce Bureau Head Will Make Address Here Friday "You're the Top" Maybe it's the spirit of the marble-playing Graduate Club that still lingers on. Maybe it's the spirit of spring. Maybe it's the spirit of the not-yet-forgot ten childhood. Or maybe it's just plain spirits. At any rate the walk between town and Alumni building rang with the cries of two or three small groups of delighted under graduates, with arms swinging, faces flushed, and a guilty down cast look for every passerby. Clutched tightly in their fists were strings; and spinning mer rily on the path before them were two-cent tops. Wow! Split it for the team!

Predicted Five Years Ago In Paris Pavlowa, Great Russian Artiste By POTEAT TO GIVE LECTURE Dr. William McNeil Poteat of Raleigh will speak at the fourth of a series of five community winter forums tonight at 8 o'clock in the Sunday school rooms of the Presbyterian church. Following the general subject of the series which is-"Chris tianity and Contemporary World Movements," Dr. Poteat will ad dress the group on "Gandhi and the Policy of Non-Violence." Oliver Wendell Holmes Failing Washington, March 2. -(UP) Oliver Wendell Holmes' phy sicians after consultation tonight reported that the 93-year-old for mer justice of the supreme court was' losing slightly in his battle against pneumonia. Five years ago the great Pav lowa, not long before her tragic death, saw a 14-year-old girl dancing on the stage of a Paris theatre. She watched intently, obviously moved, and when the dance was finished and the au dience clamorously applauding, she turned to her companions and said : I am the present. This child is the future." In the intervening years the child, Nini Theilade, has become Max Reinhardt's premiere dan- seuse, and has given perfor mances, in every principal city throughout Europe. She has won a storm of adulation wher ever she has gone many pre dicting that her name will be come one of the greatest- the dance world has ever known. Nini Theilade, who is barely 19, is Danish by birth: At the age when most children are go ing to kindergarten, she began taking dancing lessons from Russians in Paris. For five years she studied and practiced arduously, working 10 hours a day, every day. Then she be gan to travel, giving a few re citals. "Discovered" "One day a miracle occurred, the miracle that all we who have anything to do with the stage count on," she says, telling her own story. "I was 'discovered.1 It happened in Stockholm where I had gone with my mother to give a recital. We were having breakfast in the hotel when I no ticed that all of the other guests were looking towards a, gentle man whom I recognized from his pictures in the newspapers as Max Reinhardt. Then I knew that this might be the chance of my life. I felt so cer tain about it that I longed to go to his table. But there were a dozen others who seemed to have the same feeling. I was despon dent. "Suddenly someone, who knew Chinese Minister to the Unit ed States Sae-Ke Alfred Sze will be one of the most outstanding visiting speakers to appear here next month as a part of the Hu. man Relations Institute. Small, black-rimmed s necta ries set off the slick moustached face of his excellency, as he leans back in his swivel chair in the main office of the Chinese Legation in Washington, ready to "talk at all times. Testifying to his reputation of "outspokenness," the little black- haired man, one of China's out standing statesmen, appears anxious to reply to any claims that we might be holding in re gard to the 'China-Japan situa tion. Japan to Blame "The American people know that China has never disturbed the international peace of the Far East, whereas Japan has herself done so upon repeated oc casions," declares the China- talker-backer. "For more than two and a half years . now she has been waging an undeclared war against China . . .," points out Minister Sze. Indicating that he and his . China have always counted on America as a friendly counsel, the representative from China moves on to discuss other mat ters.
