C., Nov. 27, 1917 F Editariat Winthrop It is impossible for anyone, with an open mind, to visit Winthrop and fail to see the wonderful work that is being (lone there. It is a place of al most ceaseless activity, and the system is working wonders for the State. Of course, the op portunities are great. The plant is unsurpassed in this part of the country, and there are always more appli cants than can be admitted. Under such conditions, the au thorities ought to carry things forward with a tremendous strike--and they do. The capi tal which the State has invest ed in this institution is paying handsome (beautiful and well trained) dividends. And Winthrop, as an enter tainer, hasn't a superior! Opportunity Tlhe convention was very for tunate in having wvith us Col. S. S. McClure, founder and ed itor of the well known Mc Clure's Magazine. Mr'. Mc (lure's first magazine exper ience was with his college pub licationi, and he now has a wvorld wvide reputation in his chosen field. It's the old story of great1 oaks growing from little acorns! There are several "lit tle acorns" on our own cam pus-but you can't grow in a dark basement! Get yourself in good soil; nature will do the rest! Aggressive Collegians The editor, in company with Messrs. Kearse, Hodges and Buchanan, attended the annual meeting of the South Carolina College Press Association, held at Winthrop college on the 22 and 23 inst. The convention was well attended, and the discussions and papers were in teresting and of a high order. We wish every Carolina man could have been present to catch the progressive spirit that ran through every session of the meeting. It was decid edly refreshing to witness such resourceful activity. Nearly every representative present was what are called aggressive collegians! They not only had an idea of doing things: they did things! And that is the point! All of us have a few stray ideas, but before they become valuable to our selves or others, they must be put to work! We may have perfectly good ideas, and yet let them die within us. These young writers and managers from all parts of the State are busy-not so much in helping themselves, but in bet tering their magazines and publications; raising the stand ard of college literature, and contributing in no small way to the advancement of their respective colleges. Many of the country's best magazine and newspaper peo ple did their first work on some college publication. But they were not the kind who shun and hate work! They are the peo ple who are willing to work overtime and under difficulties. TO NAME LAW BUILDING. The trustees of the university will meet about the middle of December. It has been stated that at that time the name of the new law building, now in course of construction, will be determined. Students are anxious to know what name the board will give the new building. \Vhile in Columbia on a re-; cent business trip, Hon P. P. Claxton, United States Com missioner of education, spent a (lay as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Moore. Dr. Clax ton came here to confer with the Board of city school com - missioners in reference to the proposed survey of the school* CHECKS AND CHANCES BY PHIL E. DUSTER When you can't sleep for a whole night before you have an unimportant engagement with a little girlie next day, it's a sure thing that you have "fallen." If the people of England would send King George to the tall timbers and then make Lloyd-George the first presi dent, we could fight for world democracy with much keener zest. There are many tight-wads worrying over the tremendous expenditures of our govern ment-and you can't convince them that we are really engag ed in a tremendous struggle! Our idea of strict justice is for, the government to call to arms the guy who has hastily married a girl he didn't love in order to have a claim for ex emption. Clothes do help to make a man, but not every well dressed man is a gentleman. Our idea of a material dif ference is that existing be tween a near-man and a super man. We may have to fight a little longer on account of the Italian retreat-but we've had very little love for those fellows ev er since they put spaghetti on the market. Speaking along waist-lines Hoover is advising strongly against that, boys! We have considerable stored energy which we're anxious to expend on the fellow who said men wasted more money on to bacco than women do on paint, powder and perfume. Anyway, we prefer the aroma of a cigar to certain other things we could mention. I know a girl in this old town, whose name is Merry Note, But when she sings you're to to say: There's a frog in her throat! When you hear a man boast ing of his popularity at home, it's a sure thing that he is not increasing his popularity abroad. When a perfectly healthy man thinks so much of his looks that he spends hours of his time before a mirrow, he ought to be deported to the front line trenches--on general principles 1'ASH AT CAPITAL CITY The Big Laundry on Main Street .
