The legislature keeps a close
eye on the waist lines of visitors
to the hall in an effort to discov
er the much discussed black belt.
One of the features of the pre
sent legislative session has been
the great interest taken in its
proceedings by the entire stu
dent body, especially during the
past two weeks.
Some of the third English
students are said to have pre
pared for their exam in three
Shakspere's of a Lamb's tale.
Is there no danger that the
Suffragettes won't elect Lydia
E. Pinkham president and have
a Cardui instead of a grape juice
administration?
The average freshman can't
get it out of his head that the
University press and pressing
club have a great deal to do with
each other.
WHY NOT?
Many societies and organiza
tions are daily offering prizes for
the best essay written on some
subject of interest to them.
These prizes are not given solely
for the purpose of benefitting
the contestant, but they are giv
en for the purpose of stimulating
interest along certain lines, and
in this way facts and opinions
are collected from various sources
cancerning racial, civic, and oth
er problems that affect society.
When we enter such a contest we
are well paid for our time and
trouble for the experience; and
we extend our efforts to aid in
working out the correct solution
of some of these problems of the
day.
Many Carolina men have suc
ceeded in winning such prizes in
the past. There is, however,
not as much interest here in this
line of work as there should be.
Most of us like to begin a certain
thing and complete it before we
leave it. It takes time to write
an essay. We have to build itup
from day to day as we collect
our material. All of us waste
much time that could be spent
both pleasantly and profitably in
the writing of essays; for there
is nothing more interesting than
collecting material about subjects
that appeal to us and embodying
it in an essay. Many of the
greatest essays have been writ
ten piece-meal in spare moments.
There is no reason why we should
not bring many prizes of this
nature to Carolina.
A SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.
There is a movement on foot
for the establishment of a school
of journalism. The faculty is
practically unanimously in favor
of its establishment. Efforts are
being made to bring the board of
trustees into that way of think
ing.
The idea of the school is to give
a man, while acquiring his liter
ary knowledge, a practical edu
cation. When he leaves the Uni
versity he will have a good idea
of mechanics as well as the man
agement and editing of a newspa
per. The location of the Univer
sity here in Columbia affords
mnny sitdents on inclined oppor
tunities for doing newspaper
work. Not a few have been cqn
nected with newspapers in the
city, while others have acted as
correspondents for various news
papers elsewhere.
. That many men have left Car
olina to become permanently en
gaged in newspaper work is a
st'rong argument in favor of the
establishment of the school.
These men who have made journ
alism their life work would have
begun better equipped if there
had been a school of journalism
at Carolina.
The object of the school will
not be for a man to devote his
whole time to that particular
work, but only a part of it; prob
ably only a third of his time will
be taken from his regular liter
ary course to be devoted to this
course in journalism. Anyone
taking this course will begin by
first mastering the mechanical
side of getting out a newspaper,
type setting, running the press,
etc., and later will take up news
paper reporting, making copy,
advertising, etc.
The school as it is being con
sidered will be practically self
supporting. Of course instruct
ors will have to be provided, and
there are other expenses that can
only be met by appropriation.
A school of journalism will be
a much desired addition to the
University. Several of the fac
ulty are enthusiastic over the
opportunities which it will afford
and are confident that the Uni
versity will have among it's
courses next year a school of
journalism.
