You are going home for Eas
ter; talk to that prospective
college student. 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!
