Co-ed Lola Reid Gets Financial
Backing, Wins Reward
From "Mr. Spear"
A man blew into Chapel Hill
yesterday and began giving dol
lar bills to University students.
Apparently he was a graduate
of Dix Hill.
But, as usual, there was more
method than madness in his
philanthropic activity and, also
as usual, there was a catch con
nected to the student recipients.
Mr. Spear
Introducing himself as, "Mr.
Spear," the gentleman with a
fistful of dollars asked Co-ed
Lola Reid, "Miss, do you happen
to have an open package of
Wrigley's gum?" Almost too
quickly, Co-ed Reid answered,
"Why yes, I have."
In response to her statement
that "Wrigley's is very benefi
cial for examinations," Mr.
Spear peeled off one of , those
green curios and handed it to
her with an expressed hope that
she enjoys the reward.
Hurrying off Lola changed the
bill and presented her unnamed

Beatrice Cobb, State Newspaper

Commendable
The movement to displace

Cobb,- editor and owner of the

encouraging to note that his
friends have no fear of the out

"Dr. Graham has carved for
himself a place with the out
standing presidents of the insti

tion has come to him and to the
University. North Carolina
needs him and will keep him un
til there is shown much more
cause than this current move
ment has to offer."
