Entered at Columbia, S. C. postoice November 20, 1908 as second class mail matter. Columbia, S. C., February 20, 1917 Even if you are a bantam be a Gamecock. How many live dead-beats do you know? The cylinder oil of life is friend liness. Don't forget to oil up. The banquet came to an end by singing in unison "We Hail Thee Carolina." An unprecedented combination looks probable. Exam. week and a "bone dry" state. Is it a misnomer when we speak of the " LOVE that LIES in woman's EYES? Sad to say many of the seniors have followed the president's ex ample and severed "Dip)" lomatic relations. The styles of some of the co-eds' clothes only emphasize the truth of the well known p)roverb ''The longer you live, the more you see." Even if you do0 think you are the "picture of perfection" re member that it is the MOVING PICTURE that is getting money from everyody.l THE HONOR SYSTEM The student body is to be com mended for the action taker last Saturday in condemning th( assault on a member of the fac. ulty because he had reported tw< freshmen to the honor commit tee; and commending the instruc. tor for his stand. The honor system, to true son of the University, is one of th( most cherished institutions. Th( success of the system depend upon the freedom of the indi. vidual. If we are to allow thih to be made a personal matter we may as well do away with th< honor system because it wil grow more and more ineffectiv< and finally perish altogether. EXAMINATIONS Once again the dread night mare is over. We can take to oui beds at a respectable hour anc rest with an easy conscience that is so far as studies go, Some of us have passed om Waterloo; some have fallen bN the wayside; while all of us bic the dreaded week a fond au re. voir, only wishing it could be f hearty farewell. Someone has said that exam inations are a relic of feudalism. They have probably been callec worse than that of late because they are certainly not a fair tesi of one's knowledge. Some o the colleges and universities ar< discarding them altogether Others are making them only I very minor part of the grading system. But regardless of the tenacity with which some profes sors hold to them, they aro doomed to be discarded. A WORD TO THE WISE The use of public property foi private purppses should alway, meet with disapproval, and i usually does. It is to be regretted that thE magazines placed in Flinn Hal for the benefit of the entire stu dent body are often monopolize( by those who so thoughtlessl carry them to their rooms in ut ter disregard of the rights o others. Besides, a few of our student seem to have reached the conclu sion that the two public tele phones on the campus were in stalled expressively for their per sonal abuse. Not infrequentli can five or six impatients be seer waiting while the fortunate firs arrival pours out his heart (?) t< a maidlen for whom he indee( must care little since he is so con tent to 'forego the persona touch.'' Prof. Reed Smith and Mr. C D. Brearley, president of the Y M. C. A., left yesterday to attent the laymens' Missionary Conven tion held this week in Lexington Kentucky.
