Page 4 THE , : CAROLINLVN Saturday, October 31, 1953 "A Catamount Tale" A student from our alma mater Longed for the sight of roeK and rill. So he walked into the forest Where he came upon a still. The boot-legger was absent. There was no one else around, And he saw a jug of moonshine Standing on the dusty ground. So he took ten rapid swallows Of the hot and firey stuff, And as he downed the tenth one, He was sure he'd had enough. So he started for the campus Feeling higher by the minute, But the way he felt, he wondered Just what moonshine has in it. Then he reached for his tobaeeo, Bit some off and started chewing, But before he reached the campus He forgot what he was doing. Later on he woke up shaking. Said his friend who stood around: "You should not have climbed that flag pole- It was hard to get you down!" —By Charles Koscielny National Science Foundation Fellowships The National Science Foundation has recently announced that it plans to award approximately 750 graduate and post-doctoral fellowships for study in the sciences for the 19J4-195o academic year. These fellowships which are open only to citizens of the United States will be awarded solely on the basis of ability. They are offered in the mathematical, physical, medical, biological and engineering sciences, including physical anthropology, psychology (excluding clinical psychology), physical geography and interdisciplinary fields. Students studying for either their masters' or doctoral degrees are eligible for graduate fellowships at the first year, intermediate or terminal year levels of graduate study. College seniors majoring in the sciences and who expect to receive a baccalaureate degree during the 1953-1954 academic year are encouraged to apply for the awards. Individuals who have received a doctoral degree or who can produce evidence of training in a field of science equivalent to the training represented by a doctoral degree or who can produce evidence of training in a field of science equivalent to the training represented by a doctoral degree in science are eligible to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship. The selection of predoctoral -Fellows will be based on test scores of scientific aptitude and achievement, academic records, and recommendations regarding each candidate's abilities. Postdoctoral applicants will not be required to take the examinations. The evaluation of each candidate's qualifications will be made by panels of scientists chosen by the National Academy of Sciences. The final selection of Fellows will be made by the National Science Foundation. The annual stipends for predoctoral Fellows range from $1400 to $1800; the stipend for post doctoral Fellows is $3400. In addition to providing limited allowances for dependents and travel, tuition and certain required fees will be paid by the Foundation. The tenure of a fellowship is for one year and can be arranged to begin at any time after June 1, 1954, but normally must not be later; than the beginning of the 19(54-1955 academic year at the institution of the Fellow's choice. In order to be considered for the 1954-1955 academic year, postdoctoral applications must be received in the Fellowship Office of the National Research Council by January 4, 1954. Detailed information and app'li- SNOOPY It's your good friend Snoopy back on the ball again and have I got news for you! Just get a load of this—FLASH Miss Pat Stanley who is lugging around a huge diamond that belongs to a guy from 'Tech" was seen at the movie last night with one of our local males. Tell us, Miss Stanley, does Ted know about all of this? If you like, we could send him a copy of the paper and let him kn -w the scoop. Pat Eways and Paul Burton have been seeing a lot of one another. Cardul Pat, I hear that Paul is is rather hard to please. Piekney Su.we and Pat seem to have finally called the whole thing off and it looks as if Dot Owen is taking over. Paupus and Randy apparently "made up" during Homecoming. From what I understand, Fred Henry brought up another gal for Homecoming but evidentally she wasn't around when the lights went off on the football field after the game. Stick in there Caroline! Who is thej young lady tha! Terry Swanger is sporting around these days? What a change has come over Mr. Swanger since last year. Keeter and Jim McJunckin just don't seem to have it anymore. From what I hear, Laura ain't interested! Hester Martin and Bumgarner seem to be getting around these days in "Bums" truck. Where do you go, kids? Shirley Aldred has been seen eyeing a certain nice-looking guy. He must be something cause Shirley seldom looks either way as far as the male population goes. Ted and "Ace" seem to be having quite a time deciding who is to squire a certain Miss Ferguson around these nights. Barbara Matthrews apparently has done a nice neat snow job on Luther Shaw. From what I hear, she is really a cute kid. Charlie Padget/ and Wanda Gibson are soon to wed. Glad to hear it kids, glad to hear it! Pat Hopper no longer speaks to the guy with the crew cut. From what I hear there was quite a mix-up on Homecoming as far as Roy Church and his gals are concerned. It seems that Barbara and Peggy landed in Mr. Church's room, during open house at the same time. Roy was speechless and left his Mother to do all the talking and shall we say, entertaining. How unusual for the "captain" of the football team! It is rumored that Love Gudger has the screaming A-Bomb hotf for a certain miss in Winston- Salem . Could this be true, Love? Dot Martin doesn't seem to have smoothed out her home town situation as of yet. I heard that she was mighty glad to see Jim Wood back up in this section oi the country. Eleanor Dykes seems to be getting the old rush from "Tuba' Conover. Why "Tuba", this is so sudden! Friends, if you wish to subscribe the Farm (corn-fed) Journal, please contact Mr. Dwaine Simpson. My damage is done so I'll take my departure for now. Now don't anyone be good! See you next issue. SNOOPY.
