Dead week is over but new ro-
mances are budding. A certain
brunette sophomore from the
west side is seen quite a bit with
our precious baby freshman girl.
Oh, maybe this will influence his
staying for the second term.

Last Saturday night “Blonde”
and Phil where trying to find the
most perfect girl for a Hollywood
beauty contest. Tish! Tish! Ev-
ery few minutes another girl was
called into the reception room to
be examined. They needed assist-
ance after a while. Charming
Vic was summoned to hold the
Angel’s hands. Some of the girls
were planning to quit school and
become movie stars. I don’t blame
them for being angry after fincl-
Negro Scientist
Creates Marvels
.......-.....: . . • j
Tuskegee, Ala. (CAP)—From
wood shavings he has made syn-
thetic marble. From peanut shells
he has made insulating walls for
houses. From the muck of
swamps and the leaves of the
forest floor he has made valuable
fertilizers. From the common
peanut he has made 285 useful
products, including milk, cheese,
instant coffee, pickles, oils, dyes,
lard, shaving lotions shampoo,
printer’s ink, and even axle
grease!
Scientific marvels from nothing,
or almost nothing. Such has been
the incredible achievement of Dr.
George Washington Carver, dis-
tinguished. Negro scientist, who
for 35 years has been director of
agricultural research at Tuskegee
Institute, noted Negro school here.
From the lowly sweet potato he
has made 118 products, among
ing out the whole thing was a j them flour, starch, library paste,
joke. Well, anyway the girls got | vinegar, shoe polish, ginger, ink,
a thrill! rubber compound, chocolate com-
pound, molasses and caramels.
From the clays of the earth he
has made non-fading paints and
pigments. From wornout sandy
soil he has produced paying crops.
Born in a rude slave cabin in
Missouri about 70 years ago (Dr.
Carver does not know the exact
date) he began his education with
a Webster blue-book speller. To-
day his honors include a Bachelor
of Science, Master of Science,
honorary Doctor' of Science, win-
ner of the Spingarn medal for
Negro achievement, member of
the Royal Society for the En-
couragement' of Arts, Manufac-
tures and Commerce of Great
Britain.
The aging Negro’s versatility is
remarkably demonstrated in fields
other than science. Dr. Carver is
an accomplished artist, and is
especially skilled in painting flow-
ers. His works have been exhibit-
ed at world, fairs, and some are to
be hung in the Luxembourg gal-
lery in Paris after his death. He
makes all his own paints, using
Alabama clays. He makes his
paper from peanut shells, and the
frames for his pictures are made
from corn husks.
Dr. Carver is a skilled musician
and once toured the country as a
concert pianist. To top these ac-
complishments, he is an expert
cook, and recipes originated by
him are used today in leading
hotels throughout the country.
By his work in agriculture and
chemistry, Dr. Carver has been
able to serve his own people and
lighten their burdens.. Experts
say that he has done more to re-
habilitate agriculture in the
South than any other man living.
“When you do the common
things of life in an uncommon
way,” Dr. Carver once said to his
students, “you will command the
attention of the world.” In that
sentence lies the secret of his own
achievement.
Were we surprised to see three
little modest Eastsiders calling at
the girls’ dorm recently? Probably
the leap year party is the result
of this recent call, and we do be-
lieve we will see more of them in
the near future. One boy had
nerve enough to say, “Now ain’t
she good-looking?,” Watch out
boys for we heard you have your
gals at home — Yeah, Doss and
Pflugerville!
❖ * *
My, Oh My! Is the Galveston
gal and a member of the Lone
Star staff making up or is it
merely a last good-bye? Yep,
its really better to make up be-
fore departure than to be enemies
for life.

See! The romance of the king
and queen is lasting a long time.
It seems as if the king is living
at-the Angel’s'-Abode, fear's.e skt-s
him there morning, noon, and
night.
One of the star basketball boys
is coming to the campus every
evening to walk with a certain
freshman girl who is also a bas-
ketball player. From what we
see and hear she’d better beware
of competition.
* * *
Well, we must sign off and we'll
be seeing ya with lots of new gos-
sip for next time. The spring
weather will have lots in store
for us!

G. A. A. ADOPTS
CONSTITUTION
A special meeting of the Girls’
Athletic Association was held Sat-
urday afternoon for the purpose
of adopting the constitution
which the committee was ready
to present to the association.
After it was read, the members
unanimously adopted it.
Regular meetings of the G. A.
A. will now be held every first and
third Thursday evening at 7:30.
This change was necessary be-
cause of conflicts with other so-
cieties on the campus. A com-
mittee was appointed by the
president to see about getting
basketball suits for the girls’ bas-
ketball team. Each member of
the organization is to pledge fifty
cents toward these suits.
Saturday afternoon the asso-
ciation will go on another five
mile hike, taking their supper
with them.
The G. A. A. hopes to accom-
plish much this year. The main
project before it now is making
money to pay for the basketball
suits.

Now that exams are over and

Who could that be shoveling
snow in front of the girls’ dorm?
I can’t tell just now because half
of his face is wrapped up in a
scarf. When he says “hello,” I
couldn’t mistake him then, be-
cause I recognize that southern
accent of “Poehlman’s.” Pirob-

played by the end of February.
The number of teams has not
been determined, but the likely
number will be four.
All who would like to play, en-
ter the tournament—we want as
many teams as possible.
In a few weeks, twelve young
men—wifi-be eligible" for member-
ship as Bolivars. These twelve
boys will participate in the or-
ganization as possible new mem-
bers until the final election, when
four will be chosen and initiated
as Bolivars, but not accept offi-
cially by the club until the fol-
lowing September.
Some social gathering is being
contemplated as a means of in-
troducing the pledge nominees to
the old members.
Student Bolivars on the cam-
pus this year are: Ernest Johnson,
Arved Nelson, Gaylord Hubbard
and Phillip Schraub. These Boli-
vars represent the organization at
Lutheran College, and are re-
sponsible for the advancement of
a policy in keeping with the col-
lege administration.
At present, Bolivars are found
in all professions, and as the club
grows in members and prestige,
plans will be made for active pro-
mulgation of student and college
interests.
Extra!! Another super-collossal
brain-trust in the form of Miss
Mildred Rolf is back at T.
L. C. Mildred went to school
here last year, and proved her-
self an excellent student. That
was “swell’ (’scuse it, Miss Fuehr)
and it’s swell to have you back,
Mildred! Good luck, happiness
and success from the Lone Star!

We were informed that
club would make several more
field trips in the course of the
next semester, and also that we
would have a section of The
Growl for sTpicture. (AhyohF fit-
ter ested in the club, watch the
bulletin board for an announce-
ment of the next meeting and
join now, so that you will derive
the benefit of the field trips and
be on the picture in The Growl.
The business having been com-
pleted the meeting was turned
over to E. W. Kuhn who gave us
a very interesting lecture on “Ap-
plied Physics In Searching For
Oil.”
Franklin Behrendt then read us
a very interesting article .on Miss
America the Tenth, the fastest
boat afloat owned by Gar Wood.
Having no further business the
meeting adjourned.
I I’d have recognized him right
away, but shoveling snow — I
can’t feature that! The way
“Poehlman” handles that shovel,
you’d think he was a genuine
Northerner. He really does quite
well when you consider that this
is his first year up here and all
the other snow-shovelers have
many years of experience to fall
back upon. Aside from falling
down on the ice so hard that he
the was knocked unconscious, Poehl-
man has suffered no ill effects
from the northern winter. O yes,
Poehlman has even acquired a
new nickname here at Wartburg.
He is now “Buckets” to you (de-
rivation of “pailman” you see).
Clifton, our senior class presi-
dent, is kept quite busy taking
care of two boilers. If it weren’t
for this Texan, I’m afraid the
boys in the dorm would freeze to
death. Clifton’s sort of getting-
accustomed to this cold weather,
though, because he spent last
winter up here.
Goodness, I almost forgot those
two Texas Iowans — “Hilly” and
“Rosie.” Hilly now confesses that

The Bulldogs have all endured
the final examinations and are
back out practicing every day.

the old snap back uhat they had
before the Christmas 'heydays.

Coach Kieffer traveled over to
San Antonio Wednesday night to
see the highly touted Schriener
Institute basketball team play the
Westmoorland Broncs. As much
as we could see about the boys
from Kerrville was that they had
a nice ball club but it is our pre-
diction that our Bulldogs could
give them a pretty good game.
I certainly do hope that a pair
of games can be arranged be-
tween the powerful Schriened
team and our Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs take to the road
Saturday night to go to Pfluger-
ville to play the Richland Eagles.
A number of the boys on the Bull-
dog squad will be playing in the
old home town and they will be
out there gunning all the time to
show the old home town folks just
how much they have improved
since they have been under the
Coaching of Coach Kieffer.
Captain Kasiske has registered
and has been out to practice the
last couple of days and he seems
to be in pretty good shape; it is
almost certain that he is going to
be in there starting the game
Saturday night against Rich-
land.
Coach Kieffer has picked up
another good prospect in Diebel,
who hails from Thrall Texas; he
is a two-year letterman from
Thrall High School.
The intramural basketball got
off to a flying start last week with

Freddie Bracher has the duck-
iest most original ideas! The
other morning before Bible exam,
He and Charpentier and Margaret
Lorfing were slinging German at
each other, and then Freddie
edged this crack in: “In Fred-
ericksburg the dogs even bark in
German.” Oh my!
The T. L. C. band takes pleas-
ure in welcoming back to its midst
Mr. Eibert Kasiske. Mr. Kasiske
was a member of last year’s band,
and its feature tuba soloist.
A Harvard zoologist risked his
life to enter his burning home
the other day. He was after a
set of corrected exam papers.
Mr. Ditty Dittmar was feeling
very, very flush Sunday night,
evidently. He bought cokes for
all T. L. C. students that happen-
ed to be in the College Courts
store. Gee, I believe he had to
buy about 5 or 6 cokes. Such
extravagance, Ditty!
