Spartanburg Columbia, S. C., March 30, 1912. Southern College Press. The Southern College Press As sociation will meet with the Uni versity of South Carolina, April 23, 24, 25. The committee on forma tion has been working on the organ ization since last fall and were able yesterday to announce definitely that the initial convention would be held here the last of next month. The formation has been under the direc tion of the Clariosophic and Euph radian Literary Societies. The University will entertain the delegates to the first meeting, and it is useless to say that every man of Carolina will co-operate in making the meeting a grand success. How ever, let us urge, that every man take it upon himself to be an indi vidual committee to see that every delegate is given a royal welcome and is shown the hospitality for which the University has grown famous. This is no little affair, for while the membership is not large in num bers it is in quality. It must be remenlbere(l that the standard of the Association is such that only i i colleges in five States are eligible for membership and out of these 1i eight will be represented at the first .Convention. It is possible that one or two of the remaining three will decide between now and then to send dielegates. Y. M. C. A. Issue. The issue of TH'IE G;AMECoCK of wveek a fter- next wvill be devoted to the Young Men's Christian Associa tion of the University of South Car olina. That is four of the six p)ages wvill be giv'en over to this organiza tion. The other two pages will b)e reserv~ed for live news wvhich the men of Carolina should know and which can not he held over until the next wveek. It is wvith p)leasure that we let the Y. M. C. A. have the sp)ecial issue and we hope that it will work ior muchi goodI. There will l)e e&.in articles telling of the work and growth of the Association at Caro lina and dealing with Flinn Hall as the social centre of the campus. Carolina Spirit. Carolina spirit was really and truly shown in the games Monday and Tuesday with Lafayette Col lege. The Pennsylvanians went away with a splendid opinion of the University of South Carolina, and the profound spirit of cheering our team to victory had much effect in causing this good impression. Keep it up, boys. Rooting is an essential of winning games and as every Carolina man wants his team to win, it is essential to continue the rooting. Now, Penn State is here next week. Here is another oppor tunity to make a fine impression on a Northern team by using the same tactics as last Monday and Tuesday. Kee) it up, boys. It helps. CQLLEGE BELLS. (With due apologies to E. A. P.) I Hear that cussed chapel bell Brazen bell! What a tale of sorrow, now, those wretched sounds foretell! In the dreamy hours of morn How it drives away with scorn Peaceful sleep for which I seek ! It begins to shriek, shriek, Out of tune, In a clamorous announcing of the service of the hour, In a mad persistent effort that each man preserve this hour From its massive tower proclaimed, From its lofty, ancient tower. What a resolute endeavor Now--now to bring together The boys to hear some learned "lune !' Oh, the bell, bell, bell, What a tale its harsh notes tell Of a speech ! Hear it clang, and clash, and roar, Hear the tidings which outpour Of the learned speaker with his "Good Roads" speech. Yet the ears refuse to tell In the jangling And the wrangling, If the speaker can be quelled By the sinking and the swelling in the fervor of the bell, Of the bell, bell, bell, bell Bell, bell. bell By the clamor- of that cussed chapel bell. II H-ear- the longed-for- dinner- bell, Golden b)ell! What a rush to gain tihe dloor its hollowv notes for-etell! Through the scented air at mess, \Ve gobble food we'll ne'er diges'. List ! The melancholy menace of our tone! For- every sound that floats 'Round the mouthful in our- throats Is a gr-oan. Swimming 'mid tr-ansp)arent soup1 We 'spy two whole beans which excites the wvhole gr-owp. H-owv they chane ! How they prance In the soup. How they tell Of the richness they impel Into the soup. And thus the ringing Of the bell, bell, bell, Of the longed-for dinner bell Now-the moaning and the groan ing of the bell. Hear the clank of the dumbbells, Wooden bells! What a world of grinding toil their constant use compels! Through the tedious hour at gym How we make them clank with vim; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of riggling rhyme. How it tells! How it tells On the future! How it tells In the strength that it impels By the swinging and the slinging Of dumbbells, bells. bells, Of dumbbells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells By the banging and the clanging of dumbbells.
