More Hum 200 Meab Served
Each Day Under New Plan
Howard College Cafeteria is making
rapid progress under the new plan of
feeding students. More than two hun¬
dred meals are served from the new
cafeteria every day according to re-
ports from the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was Installed during
January by the Howard College Aux¬
iliary fuid was opened to. the students
the first week in February. It Is lo¬
cated in the dining room of Renfroe
Hall.
Mrs. Latch, dietlan, tuts charge of
the cafeteria and excellent meals are
served three times a day. Mrs. Latch
is taking the place formally occupied
by “Mother” Harris, who was for
many years matron of the boys dormi¬
tory.
Leonard Etheridge. Grady Gilbert,
Hoke Dew, and Roy Flannagan are In
charge of the serving table. These
bo ye are earning part of their ex¬
penses while working in the cafeteria.
They report that the work Is much
more enjoyable than the “hash sling¬
ing” of the former days, however, they
have to work longer. Lincoln Knight
and A. M. Daugherty are the men who
check up and take the "dough" at the
end of the line.
Many visitors come In each day,
and have their meals at the cafeteria,
especially on Sunday. The Sunday

the week, many extras are on the Son-
day bill of fare.
The Constitution Will Be Sub¬

Analysis
Harry Btrtram Cohen

the college elimination date of the In¬

torium.
Severe' Howard students have an¬
nounced their intentions of entering
the 1930
о
’orlcal contest, and the en¬
thusiasm and interest manifested by
the orators Indicate that there will
be sharp rivalry and close competition
for capturing the forensic honors or
Howard.
Th# speeches are not limited to a
certain number of mtnntes but must
not exceed 1,600 words.
The winner of the local trials will
represent Howard at the state contest
to take place sometime between April
24 and May 3. If he Is successful in
that stage of the. contest, he will rep¬
resent Alabama In
а гопе
contest to be
held the latter part of May. If his
eloquence excels that of the other
speakers in the semi-finals, he will be
given the opportunity of participating
in the national final contest at Los
Angeles, to take place June 18. when
grand prises totaling $6,000 will be
distributed proportionately among the
seven orators.
P. Caspar Harvey, director of
the contest, announced that he had

that the youth of America today Is

this fundamental fact.
“If you can tumble out of the bed

that you can force it to do so by sheer
force of character and personality,

who sells bricks and mortar amount¬
ing to the largest sum will have a
branae plaque placed beside the
main entrance of the new building
bearing hie name and stating the
honor he has won. A similar plaque
will be placed’ on the opposite side
of the main entrance in honor of
the girl who sells brick and mortar
amounting to the largest sum. In
the entrance hall to the right of the
main entrance will be placed a
plaque bearing the name and stating
the honor of the girl who sells brick
and mortar bringing the second larg¬
est amount. On the opposite side-
in the main entrance hall will be
placed a plaque bearing the name
and the honor won by the boy sell¬
ing brick and mortar to the second
largest amount for a boy.
In addition to this the contest will
be run on a' weekly eales report
basis. The student who sells the
most each week shall be considered
the winner for that week and his or
her name shall be placed upon a
permanent roster which le to be
built to the wall of the trophy room
which will be the first rodm to the
right upon entering from the main
entrance. For each week of the
campaign the winner shall he an¬
nounced from the chapel platform, to
the Crimson and In the -Birmingham
papers. This list of weekly .winners
shall he placed ae above indicated
in the permanent roster. Also on
this permanent roster shall be plac¬
ed the name of the recognized stu¬
dent organisation selling the larg¬
est amount as an organization and
also selling the second largest
amount. The permanent roater re¬
ferred to above will contain also the
name of each and every Individual
who makes a contribution to the
building fund. The amount donated,
however, will not be stated to the

“I have a great pride to the living
spirit on Howard’s Campus." said

for it. There Is one poem of Edgar

Did It” Let’s do It, too!"
“Seventeen years ago I got one of
those thrills that made the roots of
my hair tingle when they Htarted talk¬
ing for new buildings on Howard’s
campos. and now If this $16,000.00
campaign goes through, I will not have
LOST my HAIR in vain," said Prof.
