Take me back to Florida! * * Gym, Johnnie and the Co-eds! 0 0 * Jim is delightful, says the Co-eds. * ** A freshman has recently spelt it "Mess Haul." The Co-eds have a Lovely home. What burg is Miss Fromberg from? Mess Hall motto: none but the brave can stand the fare. * ** Does the Gamecock staff em brace the Co-ed editor???!!! x** Nothing from DeWet lately; he must have frozen. * * * . What dl'you know about this "Dutch" courage? Why not give Turkey to Bel gium for Thanksgiving? Those African troops have made the war cloud pretty black. *5* Why don't the co-eds organize a football team? They would have fine kickers with very little practice. At last, give the freshmen credit of realizing that they need hazing. If the Blue Laws were only. executed, they at least would be appropriately named. * * * The boy Prince of Wales has gone to the front. Perhaps he will soon be the Prince of wails. * ** An advertisement says, "I am stripping my store this week." He's a fool to be doing it this cold weather. Ankle watches for women are out of sight. ----Thomasville (Ga.) Times Enterprize. But not ankle watchers. "Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone ought to have been." "A man's value in the world is estimated and paid for according to the ability he uses, NOT what he may possess." Enduring Success. "He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little child ren; who has left the world bet ter than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has always looked for the best in others, and given the best he had; whose life was an inspira tion, whose memory a benedic tion." The Same Here. Other colleges seem to have athletic (?) co-eds, judging by the following clipping: "The young ladies of the Uni versity of Vermont do not like the idea of being excluded from the world of athletics. During the latter part of October they held a track meet. The program inc!uded the dashes, hurdles, broad-jump and shot-putting. A baseball game was also played. The men were excluded from the grounds, but it is reported that roofs of the nearby houses were crowded." President Will Be Away. Our new president seems to be very much in demand as a speaker. Sunday he will ad dress a mass meeting for men in the Columbia theatre. Thanks giving he will talk before the congregation of the Tree of Life' Synagogue in this city. His next appointment will be ati Rock Hill where he will meet the chamber of commerce.

Editor of The Gamecock: The University should be in in close touch with the people of South Carolina, and should make every effort to supply any need along educational lines. All over the State there is a growing demand for men that can teach practical agriculture. The success of every farmer is directly dependent upon his knowledge of several sciences, namely, botany, entomology and that branch of chemisty known as as agricultural chemistry. We have the courses in botany, entomology and general agri culture. We should have a course in agricultural chemistry. Then any one by taking these courses would fit himself to go out and teach this subject. We should recognize that every man in the University is directly or indirectly interested in the agricultural welfare of the State. A few men should leave this University each year that will be- able to give to the far mers of this State the knowledge that they require on this subject. "Interested Student." Absent Minded Faculty. The members of the faculty are so busy that they do not take time to read notices sent from the president's office. So, last Tuesday several of them had the pleasure of coming to faculty meeting, when they had previously signed a paper an nouncing that the regular meet ing of the student's mentors would be postponed. For our own good we refrain from call ing names. N. B. We said men tors by mistake, we intended to say tormentors. John Blackburn, our gym in structor, says he is in a peculiar situation, he is neither a mem ber of the faculty nor of the stu dent body. It has been sug gested that he belongs to the janitor class, since his chief duty is to remove surplus avoir.dnnoi. , good or ao'. o > fool TOI estowed by Time on only the adiwork-the fine wine, the VELVET, The Smoothest ky's Burley de Luxe, with all nellowed to an aged-in-the an two years' careful curing.
