According to observations Al Smith
is undeniably the favorite of the col
lege folk of the south. An unofficial
compilation of results of straw votes
held in several representative southern
institutions gives Smith 1496 votes to
Hoover's 1003. The margin is uncom
fortably close, but wide enough to be
decisive. It is interesting to note that
in no instance was the Hoover vote
greater than that for Smith.
We wonder if any of our fair fe
male contemporaries are as informed
as a co-ed at Louisana State Univer
sity who inquired upon being presented
with a Smith-Hoover ballot for an in
dication of her choice, "What's this
for?"
"To vote on," was the enswer.
"To vote for whom?" she asked.
"Oh I the president-it is just for an
experiment to get the student vote."
"Well, which one is the most prom
inent on the campus? You know I
don't know anything about either one
of them." ,
"College men and women are made
the objects of a great many jokes,
but there is one phase of their life
which cannot be treated lightly. That
is the college friendships.
One seldom realizes the value of a
friendship until the ties are broken.
After three months of absence from
the campus and fellow students it is
easy to see the importance with
which everyone regards friendships.
There is something fine about any
friendship. The spirit of self-sacrifice
which exists makes one feel its su
preme importance. But considering all
walks of life we would say that col
lege friendships are the most steadfast
of all.-The Heel.
The following item taken from the
Maroon and Gold of Elon College
may be taken by some of the profes
sors of this institution as a very good
suggestion. It seems that this is not
the only University in the world
where instructors save their most im
portant statements until about two
minutes after the gong has sounded.
"It is an understanding between stu
dents and faculty that class attitude is a
big factor in scholastic averages. When
the gong sounds for change of classes
and the students are kept overtime
causing them to arrive late for the
next class; it irritates the professor of
that class and causes him to have a
bad impression of the student coming
in tardy. The student who is punctual
for class at all times is also irritated;
and if it should be the first class of the
day it seems as if everything has
started off wrong. A professor in
turn is more respected when he dis
misses his classes promptly. It would
he very rude for a student to walk
out of class when the gong sounds
without being excused by the profesnor.
But-what is to be done ?"
Carolina Graduate
Jailed In California
Because he threw tup his hands, pulled
out his shirt, yelled at the top of his
lungs, had a shirt-tail parade of one and
generally became a disturber of the peace
as a result of Carolina's victory over
Chicago, a graduate of last year's class
Phi Beta Kappa and Chanticleer was
jailed in Los Angeles a week ago.
It seems that this gentlemen became
over enthusiastic and when a cop came to
get him, he told the minion of the Cali
fornia law just what he thought of him
and also that Carolina was "the thing."
It also seems that the "cop" didn't ap
prove of the Carolinians conduct and

The Very Idea!
By Bill Gaines
Do you remember when :
Pants were something that only 'men
wore?
A schooner was not only a ship, but
a container?
A man could smoke a cigarette and
not be considered effeminate?
Congress gaiters did not necessarily
indicate a Congressman?
A leg was a spectacle?
Brains were an asset and the "gift of
gab" a handicap?
Corn meant a vegetable product?
Do you remember when.----? No?
Well, neither do I but it does fill space
to talk about it.
It's not the school but it's the principle
of the hot-dern thing.
It is admitted that flowers are lovely
in the Springtime; that birds are honey
tongted individuals; that brooks are
things of joy forever; that the sweet
breezes oozing through the atmosphere
possess the power to sooth the soul of
man; that only God can make a tree;
that Chicago owns a stockyard; that the
Good Old Man Upstairs is omnipotent;
that raven tresses and haunting eycs
form a powerful combination; that th4
wild sea waves are indeed wild; that
savage blacks get muddy in the Cono;
and, finally, that the shades of n;ght do
eventually fall. The myst 'riou. part,
however, is why so muc'i g,o.. cl a',

When the freshmen of the Rembert
House returined to their rooms after the
annual freshman bangret they found a
chaotic and devastated scene. The beds
were wreck:. Sheets and blankets draped
listlessly from the chandeliers. Trunks
wcre broken open and their contents scat
tered from attic to cellar. On the floo,
lay a heterogeneous mass of shoes, hate,
coats, and (shall it be said?) negligeei.
One poor freshman's bed had been de
molished and the debris stacked in the
middle of the room in the form of a
gigantic cross. Upon this had been erect

What did the returning freshman say ?
AND HOW? After an agonizing op

scene laid bare. Then things commenced
to happen. Eerie screams rent the air.
Gasps of amazement were metamorpho

of anger. To quote "They screamed,
they cussed and they : lualled." They
even blamed it on the upperclassmen.

their souvenirs. Two poor wronged lit

building and prayed for an hour.
The upperclassmen considered it a
good joke and a proper initiation into
college l:fe. The freshmen didn't think
so, as was mentioned before. The ma
