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.
