WuIGHT (Student Body) Edgelield Columbia, S. C., April 11, 1914. The Polka Dot chorus, like a Ford car, was made for comfort, not speed. Our idea of the eternal unfit ness of things is a sophomore sit ting on the front row in chapel. Some fellows just to act queer and he unusual refused to huy a pair of Livingston's $2.49 spec ial. Reports have it that I). McTeer worked well while in the box. Course you know what that )'' stands for. )uring the winter the law classes used heated air instead of a coal fire. G. Waring is in the dIepartmlent. The senior who has the longest string of college honors generally has put 'em by the sorriest look ing photograph. General -orger is marshalling his forces and with (rawn auto harps, they wi n shortly over whelm Minnesota. Strange that the law should be allowed to take its course in the case of a freshman wvho quoted: ''Beard the lion on his chin.'" We noticed a cud of Brown's Mule on the ground the other dlay, andi looking around, found Tommy McMillan not more' n a hunrerdr ynr off. TELEPHONING. There are at present only two telephones on the campus. When one considers the many times during the day that both are idle he is forced to the conclusion that they are quite sufficient to render service to the entire student body. But there are many times especi ally at night, when to call up a friend or perhaps answer a long distance call one must get in line and await his turn. There are times when almost an hour pass es in such waiting before one can obtain use of either 'phone. A remedy was suggested, that we make a rule that the time that anyone be allowed to use the telephone at one sitting be limited to four minutes. This would not help matters very much if a large number were waiting to use the telephone. We believe that the students of the various dormitories would bear the expense of installing and maintaining one in their re spective dormitories. There are times when it is absolutely neces sary to break a date or answer a long distance call from home or elsewhere. in either case a telephone is essential. T.he expense of maintaining a telephone is very small, about $2 a month. For forty boys that would.be five cents each. We be lieve that a telephone in each dormitory would add very much to the convenience and in some cases the needs of the students. A telephone with the accompany ing monthly fee of five cents of course would not be forced on the students of the various dormi tories, but they could decide for themselves whether or not they are in need of a telephone. This lack of telephone facilities has been pointed out to the writ er as one of the greatest of the inconveniences on the campus that could be remedied at small cost. Permission to install a telephone must be given by some one in authority and the students can then act according to their own desires. EASTER WEEK. Easter Week festivities this year begin with the tennis meet this afternoon. This Easter cele bration had its beginning last year. For a long time the need of a break in the regular college duties of the spring term was felt at Carolina before anything was (lone about it. Last year several students and members of the faculty got together, and this Easter Week celebration was the outcome of their concerted efforts. The first stage in the forma tion of this custom was safely weathered last year, and it is the success of the coming events that will crystallize this week of social activity in to a pe-manent. custom. The significance of this break in the second term will become more apparent as the years go by. Our effort must be put forth to insure the success ful working out of everything planned if we wish to make this an established custom here at Carolina. The enthusiastic cooperation of every student on the campus must be had if we wish to make the coming week even approach a success. Last year b^mn, the first time't!,at !a.ctcr Week wa:; recognized at C:-olina and cele brated with a regruh)r program of social events, the whole thing was somewhat of an experiment. The most striking feature of last year's celebration was the lack of interest and cooperation on the part of the student body. In spite of this lack of interest the week was, to our mind, a decid ed success. This year Easter Week is no longer an experiment and if the students do not re spond much better than last year the celebration will be a failure. We are not here speaking in behalf of the baseball games that are a part of next week's pro gram, for we know that they will take care of themselves; but it is of the other events that also require the support of the stu dents. It is not necessary or even possible for all of us to take an active part in the preparation of the various events, but what is just as important we can all be present. The campus should be covered with students and others at the may pole dance. The gym nasium ought to be filled to its capacity on the night of thnt student body reception and the (lance. Perhaps the largest track meet ever held in this State will be pulled off on Davis Field Tues day. It behooves every one of us to be on hand. We have a good team, and with our support that team will win for us. L. discussing these vari'us Easter Week events we must not over look an important addition, "The Tale of the Sea Serpent," to be presented Monday and Tuesday by the Polkadot club of the Uni versity. Everyone of us should attend as many of these Easter Week happenings as possible and make them a howling success. Ge't them lfom WALT ERS I420) MAIN P'ITONE 573 MEN AND) BOYS RSel TIhe (Anocn home.
