There is no criticism offered to the use of these symbiok oft scholastic accomplishment, buit there is much commett to be made on the mainer of their use. Thel old line of the beggars comiig to tow; some in rags; some in tags; and .some in velvet gowns is a good term to dlescribe the app)earance' of the University iaculty on that day. By requiren',nt, all :studensts are uniformly clad in the black caps5 an'd goiws. biut the faculty not onisy appear ons the rostrtum in all manner of costuimes from seersuckers to serges, but actually3 mar the apearanice of the procession from the c'ampuis to the hbuilding w~here the exercises are heldl. It wvould seem that the cap and gown would either be abolished or that some uitiiformity of appearance could he enforced. If we arc going to put on the "(log", let's show ousrselves masters of it.

A thleti Corner Sumter and Hampton Welcome Unive: BURNETT'S DRUGS, DRINKS, CI - Aget Whitman's Candy and El One Block from Campus--Ph Patronize Ous A Postoffice Without Stamps Almost two years ago there was established at the University, in. the Canteen, a sub-postoffice. There was also appointed a postmistress who would, we were promised, attuid to ah the incoming mail, including parcel post packages and special deliveries, would put it into the boxes rented b the students and would keep stanps so that students might purchase them wheti needed without having to go all the way to the postoffice up town. All has been going well, so far as the postoffice is con cer4ied. with the exception of one thing, and a big one it is, that is s:amps. No stamps are sood by the postmistress at present. If a student writes a iettvr lie must go all the way up too tile city postofiice before he call buy a stamp, at cost, with which to mail the letter. Why should anyone on the 'campus have to) do that ? Is it that the postmis iress we have is too busy to handle the "sticky things"? It carnot he for the mails come in only three times a day, that is. including the parcel post packages. .\t present, stamps are beig sold in the Canteen, two twii-cetit or four one-cent stanips for five cents. This is otutratgiois. The proper place to ohtaitt stamps is at the Uliversity posltlice. from the postmistress, and they should he soi at the rate if a nickel's worth for a nickei. It is trte there would he tin profit made from selling live cents' worth oaf stamps for five cots but no postotfice imakes money front the stamps it sells. Why not let the j;4ostiistress handle stamps at cost instead of the Canteen hanldle them for jriofit? Why does tle Canteen have to take money out if everything that goes on the campits .tywaV It is certainly not going for the blenefit of the stilents Ion the caiipus. - U. S. C. - The Early Bird tin this comitry it was once fashionable to arrive at tle hea:r dut-ing the first act ; anl to lie among the late arrivals tot atyt social function. That style has passed and it is Aw considered poor maiers to he late at any gath erimg. If the same criteria iay be applied tat the datices held in tle Uiversity gyntnasitim, then the majority of the couples tay he acctsed of being out of style. But one does not have to resort to NIiss Fmily Post's latest tome onl etiquette to see that late arrivals at the University datices are not represntatives tf ultra-fashionability. It fact the reason that iost of the couples arrive late is because of the 'sheepish" comip,ex of humait natire ;ro otne wants to he first-alnd all cole late. The Couples might realize that there is no sense in arriving at a dance fifteen minutes before eleven when the dance is aniiunced to begin at nine-thirty--no sense at all. It would !e better f,ir all coicerned if the latices were scheduled for a quarter of eleven. No! That wouidn't do --they inight trip. in otn the light fantastic toe sometime Sunday morning. Reprinled fron The Gamewwk of Alarch 12. 1926. A Weighing Measure This is a weighing measure that we are going to discuss. Some action needs to be taken. When a student wants to mail a package lie imist walk all the way up to the post otfice in order to get it in the mails. It may be that lie is sending out his weekly laundry for the folks at home to have cleaned for him. It may be a large one or it may be smad. It makes no difference; he still has to make the regular promenade up, to the city postoffice before he cani get his "dirt" ion the mails. Now comes the question: why does a Carolina student have to walk all the way up town to mail a package when there is a postotlice on the campus? The answer is the weighing "measure," scales. If the campus postoffice were qutiped with a pair of scales with which to weigh parce post packages accurately, all this street-troutting with a suit case uinder the arm wottld be elimintated. The poustoilice at present has a fewv dollars which it will give towardl thte buyinig of these scales if the rest cati he ob:ained elsewhere. Are there not at acast a fewv dollars mi the treasurer's aiflice which might he (devoted to this wvorthy cause?

As long is muitch of the cataloigue is to changed, it seemus to me that it wvoutld be wise tat make a complete revision oif the entire book.
