CO-ED DEPARTMENT Miss Fronberg, Editor If James Wood-row to the Mills would the Morse Black burn? If a Minna would swallow a Pearl would Henri-et-to? The gym suits are most be coming, indeed, and Prof. Black burn is to be envied, perhaps. The co-eds didn't meet Wed nesday, having postponed it to go to chapel and hear Dr. Bald win. The co-eds have good muscles; they can wheel the piano sans screeches from Mr. Blackburn's office into the practice hall. We are glad to say that Miss Hudgins is on the road to recov ery, and we hope to see her re sume her studies soon. The varsity girls went to gym nastics twice this week. They are delighted with the thrilling exercises, and realize how much the co-eds of former years have missed in not having had this advantage. 'The girls enjoy the Folk danc ing but are especially enthu sed over the basket-ball. If Prof. Blackburn turns his back for a moment, or recollects that he has forgotten something after which he goes, they all scramble for the ball, and he has to call them to order again. Noted Journalist Speaks. ''Prof." J. II. Elkins last week addressed the students of Claf lin Umversity on, "Black hoises in newspaper work.." "Prof." Elkins is a recognized authority on journalism, having lately resigned the deanship of the school of journalism of Co luinbia University. The students who heard "Prof." lfkins were so much impressed with the need of "dark" re iorters that many of them now have it as their highest anbi>tion to work on The Rlecord.

C. When Lafayette Visited Columbia, 1825. When Lafayette visited Co lumbia in March, 1825, a com pany of cadets was formed from the students of the South Caro lina College. An old newspaper report says: "In line were the South Carolina cadets. There were 40 or 50 of these young men, commanded by Cadet Capt. Savon. They had a striking uni form, a dark grey, swallow tail coat and white trousers. The head dress was the peculiarly shaped cap or chapeau of that day. The white duck trousers were gathered at the knee by a band of black ribbon an inch wide, with streamers hanging down the outer seam and falling to the, ankle. Long trousers, known as 'Lafayette pants,' had then sup planted the knickerbockers which Lafayette wore when .n American soldier. The cadets wore powdered queues of the colonial style." This was the beginning of the company of College Cadets which existed except for a short time of thirty pears. It was disband ed in 1857, but reorganiz.d in the fall of 1860 for the coming conflict. Her 3 and There. The South Carolina association of schools and colleges is meet. ing at Flinn Hall t-day. The new water mains in fron of each of the colleges have been conpleted. The marshall has had his men busy fixing grates and iiirelac)l s; the past few days. Howard Danner, captain of the basketball team. is just out of the infirmary. He sprained his ankle during practice, but is now able to get around on crutches. J. F. Brooks, class '14, who is now teaching at Cartersville, S. C. spent the week-end on the campus. His friends note that his supply )f wit is not yet ex hausted. The Carolinian. Thbe November issue of the Carolinian is expected to make its atppear'ance this afternoon. And they called him corns be cause he was always at the foot of the class. ''Are you going to take a b)ridl al tour, Mr. Newlywed? ''No, I'll not take anything to her is lon<r na she bhas hn,-self." THANKSGIVING DANCE FOR SPONSORS Student Body Dance After The Thanksgiving Game. In honor of the Carolina and Citadel sponsors, ,the university student body will give a dance Thanksgiving evening in the uni versity gymnasium. A large crowd is expected. The admission will be reasonable for those who dance and free for those who merely wish to look on. The entire Citadel corps will accompany the team to Columbia and the cadets have been invited as Carolina's guests for the even ing. The brass buttons and gray uniforms will add color to the setting. Much interest has been mani fested in the dance. Because of the many visitors whom it would inconvenience, dress suits have been discarded, and the affair will be distinctly informal. Dainty cards have been arrang ed forand dancing will begin at 9 o'clock in the gymnasium. We have no idea ofrgoing down to Chattanooga, Tennessee since Miss Pankhurst has visited that place.
