Chimes of Yuletide gently
'mind us,
We can leave our tiresome

Fears of profs and classroom
gases.
Angus Macaulay has a very
unique way of "scattering
thoughts."
The only unusual thing about
the meeting last week was the
failure of SifTord to make a mo
tion for ad.ournment.
When "Loots" Walker
called for a toast to "devils" he
left out the ad.jective that is
generally applied to such char
acters. He has his own reason
for doing so, and we might as
well let it drop at that.
Did youI ask about WOMEN?
We refer you to our authority
on the subject, Mr. Buchanan.
He knows nothing about them,
of course, but he can quote you
some mighty gnnod scripture
that sounds delightful to wo
men haters.
It is useless to say that we en
joyed the pleasure of having
the College Press Association
with us last week, and trust
that our actions proved the
truth of this statement. It was
so enjoyable an affair that the
entire student body joins in to
ask that it meet here again as
soon as possible.
Next Week's Event.
The coming of Gypsy Smith,
Jr., to the University is some
thing very unusual. Few col
leges in the United States have
been so fortunate. And since
we are to have this rare treat,
we should show 'our apprecia
tion by attending every meet
ing. If you are not interested,
give him a chance and attend
the first of the series. We feel
safe in saying that you will
have all doubts removed, and
will most likely be present ev
ery service.
Much credit is due the Y. M.
C A. for the efforts they have
made in securing Mr. Smith for
us. Of course, some argue that
it is the job of the secretary to
furnish speakers for our meet
ings. However true that may
be, he has far 'overdone the job
this time and deserves credit
and commendation from the
student body. Show it by
standing by the Y.
ValUe of U. D. C. Medals.
One of the most prized hon
ors given at the University of
South Carolina is the Confeder
ate medal. This valuable gold
medal is offered annually by
the Wade Hampton and M. C.
Butler chapters of the U. D. C.
to the student of the University
who writes the best essay on a
subject selected by the donors.
The subject is always connect
ed with the War Between the
Sections. In the past 12 years
several series have been given,
some historical, or biographi
cal, others social or economic.
One of the most popular series
dealt with the lives and serv
ices of famous Confederate
generals. Some of the most
valuable papers have been re
searches based upon war news
papers and family records and
other original information in
regard to social and diomestic
conditions in the South during
the struggle for secession.
Large numbers of students an
nually write in competition and
thus is accomplished the desire
of the generous and patriotic
donors to stimulate the first
hand study of the Confederacy
by the young people of this gen
oration wvho are to be the lead-.1
ers of thought and the histo
rians of the future. The sub
ject for 1920 is "The Unfailing
Faith of the Confederacy." The
essays should not exceed 5,000
words in length and should be
signed by a pen name and
handed to Dr. G. A. Wauchope
by January 11. The medal is
conferred at the public meet
ing of the chapters on Jnuary
19, at which time the,'winning
essay is read.
Euphradian Society Meets.
The regular weekly meeting
of the Euphradian Society was
held last Friday night in the
Euphradian Hall. In the ab
sence of the president, the
chair was filled by Mr. F. A.
Thompson, Literary Critic.
Messrs. Galletly and Ed
wards were the readers of the
evening. Mr. Polikoff as ex
temporaneous speaker made a
fine appearance and pleased
the audience with his treat
ment of the subject. Mr. C. T.
McDonald, weekly orator, de
livered a thoroly prepared ad
dress on woman suffrage. The
only objecti'on was the fact that
his speech was entirely in fa
vor of one side of the qdestion.
The debate was an interest
ing one on the subject: "Re-_
solved, That the closed shop is
justifiable." Altho this query
has been discussed several
times during the last few years,
yet there were many new points
brought out and developed
during the course of the argu
ment.
Messrs. W. 0. Gallettly and
L. E. Laughlin upheld the af
firmative, while Messrs. J. 0.
Van Meter and H. R. McLeod
debated the negative. Several
members discussed the subject
from the house. The negative
side was chosen as the winner.
Rather Honest, What?
Prof. M.-"Mr. Vaughn,
what is the definition of bone?"
Whereupon "Josh," without
saying a word, began rubbing
his head.
Promptly at 2:30 Monday
afternoon all the co-eds in His
tory II arose and left the room
en masse. Prof. L. turned to
Jenkins and asked: "Is there
a meeting of the King's Daugh
[ers today?"
