Personalities!
By Nellie Dodson

cerneQ Minnesota aCnleCe VINO
came to the University from a
small town. When he came up
here, he left a girl behind him in
his home town, a girl he had gone
with for four years. It wasn't long
before he was making a name for
himself in football and in certain
other sports. Football men have
an easy time breaking into colleg-
late social life because there are
always so many girls who want to
invite them places just for the SEN
sation of being seen in such virile,
masculine company. This particu-
lar athlete roomed with another
varsity gridder whom the girls
adored and sighed after because of
quality of Indifference which
made him all the more attractive.
The two of them began to be
picked up after classes by the more
wealthy goods who drove swanky
roadsters or cars. 1t was these
wealthy girls who started the proc
ess of spelling them pretty thor
oughly. But the small town boy
couldn't exactly forget the home
town girl, and so he invited her up
here to attend a fraternity party
which was given at an exclusive
golf club just outside of Minneap-
oils. The home town girl was out
of place and i'll at ease in the COM
pany of smartly and extensively
gowned sorority girls. They all
knew she was an outsider, and, as
University people are the most
snobbish in the world when they
want to be, they treated her polite
ly but very cody. The boy never
invited her to another party, and
as before long he stopped spending
all of his holidays at home, she
saw very little of him. BUT, the
latest addition to the story is that
the girl is going to enroll in the
"U" this fall. I'll bet that she is
determined to become one of the
snooty sorority women who so
politely snubbed her at that party
which is easier said than done,
but 1 certainly wish her luck!
I didn't know Frank (Robbins-
dale) Wright had a brother, Bob.
My goodness, was I ever surprised
to find that out! And he follows
the family standard of good looks,
too. There are a lot of folks
around the Cities who have broth
ers and sisters that appear on the
scene suddenly, and when you ask
'em where they came from, they
just say: give been around all of
the time" I didn't know Emma
Lou Coleman had a brother until
late this spring. And it took me
a long time to find out that Bella
Lee had a sister.
Thelma Sayles tells me that she
is intending to start at the Univer-
sity in the fall. I believe that she
intends to take up Dress Designing
and Textiles. That means she will
carry quite a bit of her work over
on the Farm Campus. Also means
a daily jaunt between the main
campus and the farm campus on
the inter-campus trolley. Also
means she will be taking more than
bit of chemistry and so on. Every
year couple of more eligible gels
appear on the campus, which tends
to balance up the unequal balance
between the men and the fems,
thank heavens.
Marionne PEBBLES will leave in
September for Tennessee State Col
lege in Nashville, which is a stones
throw from the Fisk campus. How
ard Barksdale will return to Fisk
for work on his M. A. degree. He
will add a bit of football coaching
to his curriculum to fill up his time
nicely. Louis Cason returns to
Fisk also. I hear that AL North
is contemplating working on his M.
A. degree at Minnesota. Also Bee
Edwards will work on her M. A.
