What about that Perritt? All the

When, after all the storms it has
encountered, that ship of Easter
Week gets to port it ought to be wel
coned at the pier with loud rejoic
ings.
Brother M. A. WrTIighit speaks at

People, he liberal. It is a chance of
a lifetime.
The Alaska Legislature, consist
ing of eight senators and sixteen
representatives, all of whom are un
married, have passed a woman
suffrage law. Undoubtedly this is a
unique law-making body, b)ut great
changes can b)e exp)ected before the
next session.
In the chapel this week we have
heard from a Newv Yorker and nros
pective Londoner, a consul to Bres
lau, Germany, and--a missionary to
the heart of Africa. This is boxing
the compass. That shabby chapel is
a magnet to draw' any sort of
speaker from any spot on the face
of the earth. They can't keep out
of it.
Looks Like a Big Week.
Next week the students and facul
ty will realize that a new phase in
the social life of the campus has
come. No more will we forget that
Easter is to be observed and allow
it to pass without celebration in a
moral and social form. In the past
we hardly paid any attention to
Easter; the college moved on with
its work and the students followed
the same old trend of life, not real
izing that they were denying them
selves of privileges and pleasures
that were enjoyed by the students of
other universities. But that time
has passed and this year we will be
called upon, one and all, to take
part in an extensive program begin
ning Monday morning and continu
ing through the week. \Ve do not
care to offer any suggestions to the
students as to how they shall con
luct themselves, for we believe that
we sound the note of the- student
body when we take the liberty to
say that everyone wvill feel himself
obligated to reflect a great credit on
this Easter-week occasion, and make
it a permanent event in the Univer
sity.
So far, things are looking bright
for a big week on the campus. Offi
cial information says the college
girls will attend the various func
tions. This, in itself, is enough to
arouse the right kinds of feeling and
support of every man in college.
There are just a few things that
should be decided immediately.
First, make up your mind that this
week must be a success, and if you
have sworn that you won't take any
part because you were not allowed
to make out the program to suit
your own individual fancy, why be
democratic, social and man enough
to retract that oath so selfishly made
and do your moral duty by joining
in with the other fellows. Second,
if you have not made any contribu
tion toward defraying the cxpenses
of the Easter-week, the lest thing to
(10 is to sec the tr-easur-er and tell
him, with 25 cents at least, that you
wvant yout- name on the list that will
b)e p)ostedl. There is not a student
on the campus who is not able to
make this small and p)iti ful conti
bution, but evidently there atre many
who have tnot paid a cent. -W'e don't
catre to deal with persons in a critical
way, because that is not our busi
ness5; b)ut we do say that if any
studetnt in the university is too cheap
and stingy to pa~y twecnty-five cents
to this cause he ought to be liberal
and congenial enough to see Dr.
Mitchell and get an excuse to leave
the campus until after the exercises
of Easter week are p)ast.
The time is almost hee and we
should be prepared to enjoy it. The
co-operation of faculty and students
is expected on every occasion, so
don't forget that Easter week is go
ing to be a big thing.
Some Easter Week Dont's.
Don't forget to carry your books
to classes, for you might be called
upon to read ; don't forget to attend
chapel, for you will miss- hearing
some speeches ; don't forget to root
at the ball games. for your noise
will be needed ; don't wear a dress
suit to the student-body dance, for
you will look too classy; don't eat
too much at the picnic, for it might
give you pain; and above all don't
vote a block ticket for Easter Queen,
because that would be Fresh and
you might be called upon to ,revoke
your action.
Editor T HE GAMECoCK, University
of S. C.
My Dear Sir: Feeling that the
recent action of the student-body
was an outrage and extremely detri
mental to some of the prospective
candidates fol Easter Queen, I take
this opportunity as campaign man
ager for a young lady of campus
fame to say that the politicians who
secretly secured votes for their can
didates were unscrupulous and un
wise, to say the least. and, there
fore, beg leave to announce in your
columns that I am soliciting votes
for Madame Crowther, and your
support will be greatly appreciated
by the prospective Queen and her
campaign nanager.
Yours politically,
A Reader.
