Enterd at Columbia, S. C. postoffice
November 20, 1908 as second class
mail matter.
Columbia, S. C., May 16, 1916.
Headline: "Flies Over State."
Signs of spring.
No, Geraldine, don't look for
the aviation write up on the fly
)aper.
11eckon the graduates of Col
gate use toothbrushes as class
pins?
Wonder how those who simply
"devour" books like the Liter
ary Digest.
Some folks we know were born
in the state of ignorance and
have lived there ever since.
The reason some folks don't'
see much in these shadow skirts
is that they don't look at them
in the right light.
Some freshman with a cocoa
nut bean has said that he doesn't
want to go to heaven because,
there wvon't be ad -soul there.
THE TRACK TEAM
It is ->regrettable fact that
Carolina has so far been unable,
to sign any intercollegiate track,
meets. Track work is unques
tionably one of the greatest ath
letic activities which is practiced,
and Carolina has the goods. We
sincerely trust that another sea
son will not pass without sev
eral track meets being held here.
Never before in Carolina's his-,
tory have the prospects been
more propitious for a successful
year in track work than this,
and it looks like a shame to let
such talent go by untested.
CLEAN ATHLETICS
As several members of the
faculty said at the chapel hour
Monday morning, athletics is
losing sway in colleges, the rea
son being the fact that it has
not been run on a strictly proper
basis. There is an economic law
that, tersely stated, means "bad
money runs out good money."
So it is with athletics. It is but
perfectly natural that when
"'ringers" are used on a team
that the team will be less re
spected and less prized than one
which is born and reared on the
campus.
Carolina has had a lesson in
"ringer" football, and has just
succeeded in wiping the blemish
from her fair name. "Experi
ence is a dear school, but even
colleges will learn in no other."
It is up to every man on the cam
pus to put forth every effort I
to overcome the dreadful stain
of last year. Let every team
next year be a "Carolina" team.
We've got something to overcome
but it can be done.
SENIOR EXAMS
The faculty have officially an
nounced that this is positively
the last year in which irregular
examinations will be given to
seniors. This has been a much
discussed question on the cam
pus and the action of the faculty
has brought out several good ar
guments for and against senior
exams. After studying the sit
uation thoroughly several popu
lar members of the faculty de
cided to introduce a measure be
fore the faculty to cut them out
this year, but upon the protest
of the senior class they post
poned the enactment of the
measure till next year.
We agree with the faculty that
there are benefits in the new
system but it seems to us that
they are few and far between.
From the standpoint of the de
linquent senior the plan is iniqui
tous, but it's an incentive to study
during the term.
