Turkey and Thanksgiving, orie
and inseparable, now and'forever!
A stop ought to be put to this
nuisance of the co-eds' carving
their initials on the backs of class
room seats.
Dean Baker is kept busy these
days sending out notices to facul
ty members who persist in cut

We mopped up good money by
betting freshmen three to one
that Ben-Hur would be first un

It is hoped that the Bulldog
and the Alligator will manage to
peg along together somehow
down in the cra* of the Game

Think of the hundreds of hap

where the folks while away these
dull evenings by listening to the
strains of the autoharp.
Way out in the backwoods of
Ohio the lowly dwellers pass
away the time in slanting through
their stereoscopes at scenes from
the four corners of the earth.
Just to be sure about that din -

THE CQ=EDS:
The fact that: the co-eds are
beginning to - claim their rights
and o claor for recognitio
: t to1ariy one ,eent e e wth
The Universaty. fer tofoe th>
feminine portion of our collegi
ate society. has 'contented itself
with being seen arid not heard,
dbubtless thin dng thtiatthey were
not a decisive eleientin the
miake p of the Universit
'their conduct at the Clemson
game was most laudable and the
announcement that they have
formed a tennis 'cli b for the
avowed purbose of playing and
whipping some of the wornen's
colleges within reach, is certain
ly praiseworthy.
DoUbtless there are many
men in the University who have
never considered for an instant
to what extent our. daily, life is
and shall be colored bSr the pres
ence of the co-eds. With the
present upheaval for. the eman
cipation of women so prominent
ly before the public eye, it is
ample time' however for ts to
"heed the ramble of the distant
drum" and to make -some provi
sions, investigate 'some. condi
tions, pertaining to the co-eds.
These young ladies haveI be
fore this time been an utterly
negligible quantity in our daily
life, They have participated in
-no social affairs;-they have had
no' athletic exercises and bave
had no literary societies or clhbs
of any sort.
It is inevitable that this condi
tion must change. If the Uni
versity merges with the College
for Women, it will of necessity
do so, in' the irrmediate -future,
because of the enormously in
creased number of cE-eds. - If it
does not, it will take longer for
this much to be desired result to
come to fruition, and its final
success will depend upoh the
splendid conduct of our present
co-ed crusaders.
THE NEED OF DEBATES,
The formation of,the debating
league with Virginia and Geor
gia is but another' indication . of
the strong impression -that, we
have made in' Southern oratori
cal circles. For three years Car
olina has never fallen below see
ond place in either the South
Carolina or Southern Oratorical
Contests and. of the four debates
which we have held with 'teams
from other colleges, we have
won two. This record is indeed
enviable.
*Th'ere is one.circumstance how
ever upon which our ultlnate
success in debating must depend,
and'thrat is, to get enough good
men to try for the teams. Coach
Edgetton and others gave a good
many' talks in student body'meets
ings this .year concerniig the
ne.cessity of getting enonth' mer
ahd t e same thing1 truejo e

Nine-t .Aths of the mer4 Wqi
leave this University depakt with
out having the slightest idea of
the tnagnifi ent dppo tiitie
which they hayehad to gain the,
broadest and most corprehensive
education possible, not alone thrt
the Instruction which they may
receive,, but also thrQugh the ex.
ternal opportunities which are
open to them in our University.
We have here the finest library
in the State, not even excepting.
the one at Charleston. .. Very few
of the men take advantage of
the splendid possibilities which
obtatn there,. :but m rely go.to
the library to get : etiiired books.
'for parallel reading, to look -over.
the: daily newspapers, and .read
the current magazines.. -Hardly
any- of them ever- browse around
thrn the halls and alcoves of the
building... Hardly any search out
in - dust' covered, moth-eateri
tomes the accumulated. wisdom:
of the centu'rie$,, and1.not one in
fifty .knows'. that.'we have the
most splendid, comprehensive
and extended. edition 'of Latin
elassies in 'existence, - i. e., the
Delphin series, --prepared- under
the .express command ,of' Louis
Le Grand Monarch. How many
have ever attempted to find the
ofiginal magazines in which the
most famous- of inglish.. and
American. literary contributions
appeared? . How many have even
heard of Hogarth's drawings,and
Pianesce's far famed engravitigs?
To whom has the privilege been
entended to gaze u46n one of the
most, valuable set of books in
America, Audubon's "Birds?"
Innumerable examples could be
cited 'of other instances In which
the men have no conception -of
the possibilities by which they
are surrounled.. The library
;building itself is well'lighted and
ventilated, and is a splendid piece
of architecture. ' The ceiling,
which has been lately put in, is
a direct facsimile of the original
ceiling,' said by many'competent
authorities' to'be one of the finest
ceilings in any, library building
~in the United States.
Not 'a single' minute spent in
the library' Will be a wasted
minute. Whether it be consumed
in' the Interisting:perusal of
Margar'et of Navarr'e's 'MIeptip
