Let's put Car olina on the map. Who said that we were not going to have a winning base ball team? Go out and look the situation over. They say that changeable weather makes for greater ef ficiency. We have the weath er, but what about the efli ciency. It has been said that in spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. Per haps that is true, but it is not so apparent as his mind turns from work. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." If ALL fools do such, then college students are no fools. They like to tread the paths strewn with roses and recline on flowery beds of ease. According to the testimony of railroad officials, the heboes or tramps are going to work. Prohibition is given as the cause, because there are no longer the free lunch, the liquor and the saloon stove. The 5500 seniors of Ohio State University have petition ed the faculty to be excused from final examinations. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising ev ery time we fall. A solemn agreement on their honor as gentlemen and as stu dents to purchase no more hats, shoes or outer clothing before September 1, 1920. unless these articles decline in price at least 25 per cent. is being circulated and signed at the University.. of Georgia. The agreement is nct binding un less signed by at least 500 stu dents. Patching materials for clothing and shoes are not in cluded in the agreement. An increase in undergrad uate tuition from $150 to $200 has been decided upon by Johns Hopkins University. No more "stiffs" for medical colleges because prohibition has so decreased pauperism is an assertion credited by the press dispatches to Dr. William Kirler, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Texas. "When a young man is in love, it is hard to interest him in things pertaining to the next world." "It certainly does-try a girl's nerve when she braves herself to receive the shock of a pro posal, and the shock fails to materialize." Some men haven't sense enough to do the best they can. CAROLINA AND COLUMBIA. Many are the things worthy of mention with regard to the Auto Show and Trade Exhibit that just came to a brilliant and successful close, but we have not the space here to take them up, nor is this the suita ble place to discuss a trade ex hibit. One thing, however, must be mentioned here, and that is the part played by Car olina in this great event and the results. Just off hand it seems a rath er small part that we played in the show. The use of our field is not such a great thing. An other field could have probably served the purpose equally as well, but there is more than that behind it. In the first place, we got a great deal of beneficial advertisement at a very low cost, if at any cost at~ all. Men, women and children from many p)arts of the State and from sister States were brought to our campus and got a glimpse of Carolina. Many were impressed wvith the spirit of co-operation displayed by us and gave our due share of praise for it. Aside from that, it also shows us first that the men of Carolina who made a success in business, and the sons of Car olina who are today among the leaders of progress in the State, still have Carolina at heart and still think of Carolina even as they did in the days that they were here as students, and in all their work in the world of business they are trying to ben efit the old school. It is thru the efforts of I i . Hendrix and Mr. Ehrlich, loyal sons of Caro lina, that the local board of trade got in touch with us, and it is thru their efforts that our field was given to the Board of Trade for their use during the recent show, and as a result of that getting in touch with each other, we now have the sup port of the local Chamber of Commerce, financially and morally. We do not have to wait many years nor even days to see the interest the mer chants of Columbia are show ing in us as a result of the closer relations that exist be tween us. Already our bene fits are great, and the future holds in store even greater things for us. Wonderful are the results of co-operation! 'TWIXT THE CUP $AND THE LIP.
