Greensboro News
Surely there was no weather such as that of the past few days when the artery-hardened legislators passed that bill declaring it high treason for the gay blades of the state to toss a smile in the direction of the Glorious Girls of the colleges. Surely the hard hand of winter had robbed the solons of their pristine pep. For on such a day as yesterday, with the lazy sun a-shining with anew zeal, the grass greening, the twigs getting bold, not even the most sanctified of the gentlemen who have been sojourning in Raleigh would have tried to legislate against the international impulse that comes with spring.
Livelier blood courses through the veins and arteries of the Glorious Girls themselves. In Raleigh they have already told the general assembly what they think of that body to prevent the way of all nature. They have intimated broadly that the legislators are a set of doddering fools. Which the state is now realizing that they are.
Here now comes The Twig, student publication at Meredith College, and utters one final plea, and a municipality that does not listen and heed and obey is no sort of municipality at all. Chant the editors of The Twig:
Oh, if the Sunday check must go,
And if our friends from N.C. State
Can’t park upon our neighbor’s curb
Nor down our street perambulate,
If folks forsake us utterly
And all the Sunday checking stops,
If we need guarding by the law,
Pray, let us have good looking cops!
