CO-ED DEPARTMENT
Miss Fromberg, Editor
There is no doubt that the co
eds can Sea-Wright, but can the
men Sey-More?
Remarkable facts to note in
the co-eds:
1. They are all fond of fresh
Ayer.
2. In spite of the war they
do not worry about the Price.
3. They don't find it neces
sary to lose sleep over Marks.
4. Love is ever present.
5. They are always sure to
Sea-Wright.
The Varsity girls played the
first basketball game Tuesday,
and a most exhilarating game it
was. The score was 2 to 0. It
it to be noted that Peg Price
showed remarkable pluck in not
having succumbed when the
force of the ball thrown in her
face by our husky German, near
ly knocked her senseless. The
first score in the history of the
co-eds was made by Kit Marks.
A True Story.
Freshman observe the rules of
math,
And slander not your brother,
For things that are equal to the
same
Are equal to each other.
The president of society jumped
an open switch,
He called a freshman Silber*
whose -iame was Rich.
Silber, with a smile, said Rich
was not his name,
But I'm sure that if he's Silber
he's Rich just the same.
"Silber is German for silver.

Adv. Manager Elected.
At a recent meeting of the staff
A. M. Jones was elected advertis
ing manager of the Gar
net and Black. Mr. Jones is
a member of the junior class and,
hag had considerable business ex.
perience. This position is ren
dered doubly difficult by the
financial stringency, but Mr.
Jones' friends believe he will
make a success.

CLASS IN JOURNALISM
DOES RESEARCH WORK
Interesting Facts Obtained From
Democratic Primary Lists.
The class in journalism led by
Prof. H. C. Davis, has been
making news from the office of
the clerk of court of Richland
county. They have discovered
some very remarkable facts by
counting the number of names
witnessed on the Democratic
club rolls made last August.
Some of the facts of interest are
as follows:
There are 849 voters in Rich
land county who could not, or
would not, sign their names. Of
these 386 are in the county and
463 are in the city of Columbia.
This gives -a percentage of illiter
acy for the whole county of 10.9.
The percentage for the country
precincts is 18.2, while the urban
percentage is 8.98. On the oth
er hand the census figures for
1910 show that 66 per cent of the
voters are illiterate. This shows
that either the census figures
are incorrect or that the illiterates
are more interested in elections,
and consequently a greater per
cent of them register.
By averaging the ages of 216
illiterate voters chosen at ran
dom from all of the club rolls it
was found that the average age
of the illiterate voter is about
43 years. This is considerably
above the average age of all the
the voters, hence the number of
illiterates must be decreasing
with the improvement of our
school system.
