With The Students
Much to their surprise, State Col
lege finds that it has a few more Stu
dents enrolled this year than last.
There has been a rather sharp drop
at the'University of North Carolina.
Wake Forest College, which had an
ticipated an enrollment decrease of
25 to 40 per cent, has 1,760 students,
or an enrollment drop of about 12
per cent Duke seems to he holding

Speaking of students, here is a
story on -one that was moving around
Raleigh last week. It may not be
new, but is being told as something
fresh.
A freshman over at Wake Forest
passed by a colored janitor who was
burning off a weedy plot preparatory
to sowing winter grass. The boy
stood and looked «t the fire a mo
ment while the janitor busily raked
the leaves and the burning weeds.
Finally he saidi-“Unele John, pretty
soon this little section of the campus
will be nearly as black as you are.”.
“you’re right, son,” replied the
; janitor continuing his raking, “but
about three weeks from now it will
be just as green as you are.”
Sounds like an oldie, but it was
new to us and is certainly rather
appropriate at this time of year.

whose unglamorous exploits in the

An' instance of this occurred here
in Raleigh last week.
