A student has remarked that Charleston is the only city-state in the world. Marshal Haile is digging up the wild onions on the campus that former students have sown. * * Assistant Editor Boulware is the best editor on the staff in that he makes news if he can't find it. If an extenporaneous address is speaking from the feet, some of the boys have a good founda tion to speak on. * ** . With "Stonewall" Jackson as pitcher and Stoney as catcher, Carolina's battery should be a formidable machine. * * * Rumor has it that Malisha Levy has consented to drive nails on the bottom round of the fence, if "Slim" Heyward nails the top round. Prof. Gunter's S. C. Study class, cotnposed of 18 college girls and 19 boys, write notes all.iright,%but can we swear that they take them? AT THE RECEPTION The mid-winter reception was a glowing success despite the fact that one of the parties es pecially invited did not put in its appearance. Of course, the success of any reception de pends much upon the crowd present, yet less than six people were. present from one of the colleges in the city. While we would not mention the name of the institution, we will venture to say that its small represen tation enjoyed the social affair. The date of this reception was changed twice, so as not to conflict with the dates of the other colleges, yet this institu tion did not cooperate by send ing a full representation. At their reception given during examinations, Carolina sent a fair representation, in spite of the impending 'literacy test." i Why this certain college did not come out, we do not know, but now we see no other excuse than disinterest. It is reported that some ten or twelve students of this particular college preferred the "movies." We are search ing the dictionaries for the anto nym of cooperation. ATTEND CHAPEL A new arrangement has just been completed whereby the studcnts are to sit in chapel by classes. This is an excellent plan and should encourage a larger attendance at chapel. Many of us do not realize that chapel at college was created as a sacred rather than a com jnlsory meeting. Of late it is considered as absolutely unneces sary, according to the poor at tendance. Chapel is one of the greatest things at college. This daily gathering gives the students a chance to see and mingle with one another. This is an end un attainable by larger universities. After all, association with the fellow students is the chief bene fit derived from college life, and for this reason solely we favor attendance at chapel. Here we give in brief a few reasons why we should atte"id i chapel. There one hears all the important announcements made. I There the students gather in what is supposed to be a repre sentative student body; but of late there have been very few at these meetings. Chapel is a place to form associations that you will cherish throughout life. Last, but not least, the attend ance is a sacred dluty. ITrue it is that our chapel is not a marble palace, but since its renovation it is good enough for another year. Law men, special students, and academics should attend chapel regularly. SHOULD JOIN S. I. A. A? Should Carolina join the S. I. IT'S a ill wl nobody goo it's a better that nobody ill. Thu ? notIn' but go VELVET. Those world famous pi me puts into Ketntucky's Burley full, aged-in-the-wood, mellc The Smoothest Smoking Tol lined bags. A. A? Coach Edgerton, Alumni Manager Gunter and Coach Sid Smith think so. Luke Hill, the captain of this year's football team, a man who knows all about Carolina athletics, says it is the only logical th:ng to do. It is certain that Carolina is progress ing very slowly in athletics if4 she is progressing at all. Much of this is due to the fact that Carolina has no definite organi zed rules to follow. The coaches are compelled to spend their time on a few men who are eligible to play in only one or two games. Three or four players are eligible for this game, ineligible in that. This state of affairs does not give the coaches a fair chance to get at a definite number of men who are able to play in all games. Carolina plays mostly S. I. A. A. teams. They rule out our men and dictate to us. Carolina obeys. One of the leading men in the S. I. A. A. said that they did all they could against Carolina because she should be a member of the S. I. A. A. If the University were a member she could dictate to other colleges who are not members of the S. I. A. A., but still better, she could play only S. I. A. A. teams. It is true that we do not play many col leges in baseball that belong to the S. I. A. A., but we could get equally as good games with teams that are members or who will play us under the S. I. A. A. rules. In basketball, practically all the colleges Carolina plays are members of this organization. In football, Clemson, Citadel,: Newberry, Furman, and Wofford are members of the S. I. A. A., just about half the teams that we play. Carolina could take a leading part in the S. I. A. A., since she would be one of the five big col-I leges that belong to it.' At pres ent there are only three big colleges which belong to the' association. Everybody knows the rules of the S. I. A. A. and judge all other rules bhe hm. The fact id that blows d, but blows or ain't n od in 7' >king qualities that Nature d. Luxe v.rv brought out to )w perfection i:1 VELVET, lacco. 10c tins and 5c metal that the S. I. A. A. is the stan lard by which all other associa tions are judged goes to prove that the S. I. A. A. is the best league to join. This association is willing to foster Carolina for one or two years until a regular team can be established. For instance, three four-year men like Stoney, Hill, ind Langston would be allowed to play next year if we join the 3. I. A. A., otherwise they would rot be allowed to do so. It is only a question of which issociation we are going to join. The S. I. A. A. seems to be the best. BIHARI THE COLLEGE CATERER the Finest Little Lunch Room in Columbia.
