No, Geraldine, it isn't the
Poker Pot Club.
Glad to report that no knives
were thrust into our vitals on the
Ides of March.

Dr. Chamberlayne is working
out as the real suffragent of
South Carolina.
Members of the debating team
now have a better idea of the
"the Great Trinity."
Keep your eyes on that man
Chamberlayne. He has an axe
for those ladies to grind.
Long about 19,5 we expect to
take parut in laying the corner
stone for our new chapel.

Federals and Comers ought to

Some brains in the civic club.
Our best known chicken thief is

What has become of the old

This Polka Dot play with its
fluffy ruffle male chorus ought
to be a fine thing for our tired
business women.
That tumble Bubber Langston
took in right field leads to the
belief that Rube Owen's ghost is
still infesting the place.
All dimpled, star eyed, creamy

it unanimous so far as the co
educational department is con
cerned.
TENNIS.
Football, baseball, track, and
basketball are provided for by
the athletic association, yet a
sport in which every man on the
campus can take part receives
little consideration. The sport
which we have in mind is tennis.
Just now when baseball is mo
nopolizing interest in athletics,
we are apt to over look the im
portance of tennis.
Tennis at Carolina is practical
ly left to take care of itself. It
is true that about five courts are
on the campus; but these are
poorly kept. We are not all ten
nis enthusiasts, .hut there are
many who would play if given
the opportunity. As a proof
that interest is not lacking in
this sport, every court on the cam
pus is occupied (luring most of
the day, even the one behind
Elliot college. The fact that
there are so few courts avaiL
able, keeps many from taking
part in tennis or even becoming
interested in it, for to appreciate
tennis one must play it.
We have tennis meets with
various colleges and universities
every year, yet we have no sys
tematic developing or training of
a team to meet them. We have
been fortunate in the past ii
having a few stars that have
won many honors for Carolina in
this lepartment of athletics. but
we have no guarantee that we
will be so fortunate in the future.
The more men we can get to take
part in tennis on the campus, the
better team we can put out.
At the present not more than
one-twentieth of the students at
Carolina can be accomodated on
all the tennis courts, keeping
them in use almost continuously.
Every spring, series of contests
are p)layedl between various teams
on the campus. These contests
wouldl be much more helpful in
developing a varsity team if
more men took part in them. It
seems that tennis ought to have
some supervision. The varsity
meni would be of much, aid in this
work. Above all more courts
are needed. We believe that
tiisimportant and should ro.
the n(lvisnrv bamrd.
THE POLKA DOT 'CLUB.
The Polka Dot Club recently
organized is to be a permanent
organization at the University.
There are some on the campus
who do not know or have a mis
taken idea as to its formation or
purpose. The club is composed'
of the men on the campus who
can sing or act in a play. In
every case, it is left with the
club to decide who is best fitted
for taking partin such activities.
The play this year entitled
"The Tale of the Sea Serpent,"
will be presented on Menday and
Tuesday evening of Easter Week.
Mr. A. J. Caring, a member of
Sousa's Band, composed the piece
and is in charge of its production.
The club is offering five dol
lars to the student who sells the
most tickets to the entertain
ment. When you buy a ticket
to this play presented by the
Polka Dotters, you are in no
sense making a contribution but
will get value received for nickel
so invested.
This musical comedy club is a
student body organization and as
such should receive our hearty
support. if we make it a suc
cess this year, its success in the
future will be assured. We are
trying to make Easter Week at
Carolina one of the most pleas
ant weeks of the year. The pro
duction by this club is one of the
principal features on the pro
gram for that week.
hl:e proceeds realizel from the
two performances will be equal
ly divided between the club and
Caring. That part received by
the club will be at the d sposal
of the organization. The individ
ual members do not receive any
thing for their servicts. As
much as will be necessary to ke p
the club going and for furt her de
velopment next ye'ir, will be re
served, and remain(ler, if any
will brobably be given to the ath
letic association.
We can help in promoting
the success of this student
musical comedy club; by dver
tising it, and talking it to ou -
siders. Especially it is (< sired
that on our visits to the various
stores and places of busin ss in
the city, we mention the adver
tising feature of the pr ograms
that will be issued at the per
formances. The expense of dec
orations. etc., will be large,
arnounting to several hundred
(ollars; all should be on hand
when the curtain rises to aid in
meeting those expenses wvith the
pri1ce of the ticket.
TVhe following was p)osted on
the bulletin in Prof. Reed
Smith's class room. The writer
wisely left it unsigned:
''To spin, to weave, to sew
Was once a girl's employment.
But now to dIress and catch a
beau
Is all she calls eninoyment.''
