DANCE LAST FRIDAY
WAS A SUCCESS
Was Participated in by Many
Young Ladies of City
ORCHESTRA SHOWED
WILLINGNESS
Leap Year Dance to be Given the
22nd by Ladies of City-Mid
Winter German Immediately
After Exams.
No less interesting than the great
game of basket ball in the gymna
sium Friday night was the short
dance which followed and which
was participated in by many young
ladies of the city and more young
men of the University. The music
was furnished by the University
Orchestra, which (istinguished itself
here no less than in its other appear
ances this season. Particularly
pleasing was the readivess of the
musicians to encore wlen requested
and to play longer than the limit
set for closing. This feature of the
dancing after the gaimes is an inno
v,ation witi basket ball that along
with the intrinsic merit of that sport
will serve to.,iake it popular.

BASKET BALL GAME
WAS EXCITING
Carolina and Newberry Played a
Hard-Fought Game Last Friday
Resulting in a Victory for
the Visitors
When Noah Webster made his
dictionary and 'defined the word
"exciting" as "stirring," "lively,"
"rousing," etc., but if he could have
lived a few years longer and wit
nessed the basket ball ganie at the
gymnasium last Friday night he
would undoubtedly have had to
change his meaning to something
like this, "nerve-wrecking," "heart
upsetting," or something of that
character. Hard-fighting, cool head
work, swiftncss on the part of the
Carolina squad were the features of
the game, but that old hard luck

"Music hath its charms." It
makes a strong appeal to one's im
pulses of loyalty, patriotisn, love.
and the warlike spirit of man. No
where else does it make a stronger
appeal than to college men. A lively
college somig vilrates every fibre of
a student ; causes him to realize mo10re
his love and devotion for his college.
Next to the college song is a college
orchestra. The music of a college
orchestra stirs up within the Stu
dents, more than any other could.
