DINKY WILLIAMS
CLOUDREAMS....Midnight, only
a few staff members left, heads to
write and this column to fill, and all I
can remember that I was going to put
in this space is an eight-line dialogue
conceived from a blend of night noon
worries and empty spaces on four
pages. I give you a glimpse into the
future:
"What have you
done," Saint Peter
asked
That I should
admit you here?"
"I ran a paper,"
ye editor said
"At my college
for one long year."
Saint Peter pity
ingly shook his
head
And gravely
touched the bell,
"DINKY" WILLIAMS .Come in, poor
thing, select a harp,
You've had your share of Hell!"
AFTERGLOW... .An item in this
column recently on the writer's opin
ion of why students cheat on exami
nations has caused quite a furor. In
our exchange papers, it has been re
printed and called to our attention in
six publications and I have had three
letters from students. May I take the
liberty of reprinting it:
"Cheating is due to an unlikeable
professor, or a poor and uninteresting
ecturer, or an instructor who gives ex
xtremely difficult examinations on
oints unstressed in class."
And that still goes with or without
the honor code and that still goes even
if you give me "It can't happen here."
A THOUGHT (i think)
If I have as much intelligence
As you say I possess,
If I always look to you
The snappiest in dress,
If I am half as handsome
As you always say I am,
Then why do I date you,
You funny little gal.
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE?
"I ccm to have n m nut of gas." he
said, "here's where I have to do some
fast work." The girl's face, small and
white, was turned up to his, her eyes
glowed dizzily from beneath her heavy
eyelids, her head swam, her lips parted
and she breathed a loud sigh-slowly
he bent over her.... why not-he was
her dentist.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW
Why the lady sometimes seen in the
reading room of the library and re
ported drawing a salary from the Uni
versity, scrambles in the waste boxes
behind the dormitories. That has the
ear marks for a good short story-if
you had the energy and nerve to work
on it.
Why the honor committee doesn't
make up it's mind as to whether it is
going to have an honor system or just
a name. I dunno, but my definition of
an honor system doesn't comply with
hawk-eyed professors sitting at the
front of the class, watching suspicious
ly or the long lecture before eaoh quiz
which is diverting from the subject on
how the students should act.
What holds professors and members
of the University's administrative force
here when they receive far more at
tractive offers to positions in other
regions.
A THOUGHT
Girls with crooked seams
Are seldom seen in dreams
SIGN IN PAWN SHOP
"Wear a fraternity pin, a sign of in
telligence." I pass!
IN DEDICATION
Maxine has a little car,
It's painted all in yellow
And everywhere that Maxine goes,
There's sure to be a fellow.
WEEK'S PHILOSOPHY
In any new relationship, we feel an
unconscious necd to create, as it were,
a new picture, a new edition of our
selves to present to the fresh person
who claims our interest; for them, we
in a strange sense wish to, and do, start
life anew.

Smith 's Article
Is Published
An article on ballads and folk songs
b)y Dr. Reed Smith, dean of the gradu
ate school at the University, appears
in the June issue of "Southern Folk
lore Quarterly."
The "Quarterly" is a publication "de
voted to the historical and descriptive
study of folklore." Dr. Smith was ap
pointed by this magazine as chairman
of a committee on American ballads.
His article is a report of the findings.
Dr. Smith gives several accounts of
old Scottish and English ballads being
found in "out of the way" places in
America. He traces their oral migra
tion from their "native heath" to those
places where they were found in
America.
"Surely," says Dr. Smith, "we might
take the things that the Psalmist held
to be past finding out and- without ir
reverance add thereto the way of folk
songr in oral traditio,"a

Blue Books
Are Issued
Honor Council Allots
Quiz Notebooks To
Carolina Professors
More than 20,000 blue books to be
used on tests and examinations have
been issued to professors at the Uni
versity, W. C. Overton, chairman of
the honor council announced this week.
These books will be furnished to
students free of charge and will be dis- 1
tributed by each professor at the time
of the quiz. The board of trustees of
the university agreed to give books free
if the Honor council would present
some feasible plan for their distribu- t
tion.t
"We are trying the plan of giving
each professor the number of hooks I
he requires for one semester as an ex
periment," Overton said. "If this is
satisfactory, we will continue to use the
same method."
Bilue books are not to be used on
quizzes that count merely as daily
grades, and in order to prevent con
fusion with others, each consignment
is marked with a departmental stamp.
A record of the books used is kept to I
prevent waste.
"Distribution of blue books is one
of the services the honor council is c
rendecring students through the co
operation of the university authorities.
This is the first time we have tried
this, but the old method proved so un- I
satisfactory that we were forced to
resort to something new," Overton 1
said.

Phsiognomiats Tell
Traits From Hair;
Read Facial Lines
Did you know that there is a certain
roup who believe that your character
nay be read from the courseness of
your hair, the shape of your nose, or
:he set of your chin?
Information found in the Universi
:y library reveals that physiognomists
)elieve there is an intimate connection
)etween facial features and the mind.
According to the physiognomist's
vay of thinking, fat people are more
)ractical and probably more success
ul in business than studious types. In e
:ontrast is the thin man who is char- d
Lcterized by perseverance and is most v
ikely to succeed in an executive po
ition. r
If your ears are wide at the top and
>ointed at the bottom, the physiog- ti
iomist believes you to be of greater in- w
elligence than the average person. On
he other hand, if your ears are square,
ou should love the out-of-doors and
ead an active life,.s
The mouth is their commonest guide w
o character. Firm lips den-ote re so
uteness; narrow and compressed lips tc
re a sign of coldness, self-control andt
ndustry.
Brunettes are not sociable, are prone
o melancholy and pessimism, while
3londes are enthusiastic, energetic, and
>ractical.
A person with fine hair has quicker
nental processes than a person with
ourse hair.
A b)road nose indicates selfishness
Lnd strength, while a narrow noser
hows lack of energy and weak men
ality.
Facts such as these are based on the
>eef that every action and thought
