"One-third of the college stu gents go to the devil, one-third are just average. and one-third rule the world." "Some people think the way to 1-i-v-e is e v i 1." The students at Dartmouth recently refused to adopt the Honor System, by a vote of 578 to 436. Students at Co lumbia University have been debating the same question. If a young man kisses a girl she does not want him to tell it, but she is disappointed if he doesn't repeat it. The girls at Milwaukee Nor mal school are taking an active interest in the science of "Leap Year Proposals." They have leaped to the Leap Year oppor tunity en masse, and their study of "how to pop" may change the course of many young men. Boys, beware! CONCERNING EXAMINATIONS. We are indeed impressed at the rate in which our present session at Carolina is drawing to a close. A few more weeks andi the mid-night oil will be gin to be consumed on a larger scale in preparation for those inevitable examinations--nec essary evils. A question of par ticular moment that presents itself to our minds, even at this early date, is, What will the re sults of these examinations be? This question can only be an swered by each individual stu dent applying it to his own status and intentions. Whether examinations are to be highly' successful, or whether they will be a disappointment, will de pend altogether on the amount of consistent effort put forth from now on in preparation for them. Many of us have, no doubt, been negligent toward our work to some extent during the term, others, we fear, to a great extent, as is shown by the numerous "C's" appearing on the bulletin board. If such is the case, it is now that we need to put on the drive within ourselves that will carry us safely over the goal line of ex aminations. Begin now to re view your work in a systematic and thoro manner. By do ing thus, examinations will not hold in store the usual terrors and nightmares, but will allow us to leave in June with a clearj conscience that we have done our full duty, and that the year's work has been a success. It will also enable us to return next year with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. This advice can indeed be taken to advant age by members of the lower classes, who still have their most important college work ahead. One of our most exacting professors tells us, that a little eflicient study done each day will yield better results than several nights "cramming" just before exams. He says further, that such a method will enable us to keep our will enable us to keep our minds fresh and active on ex amination day, having received the necessary amount of sleep the night before. Is not such a method worthy of a trial? We feel that it is. Had this system of study been followed we feel sure that the "Fare well Club," organized early in February, would have been considerably smaller in mem bership, Are you looking forward now to successful examina tions? Let us bear in mind ~that the result of a year's study in college will depend on these examinations being passed in an efficient manner, and let us make it our constant aim and purpose to get up our work from now on in a way that will bring about the desired re su lts WISE OR OTHERWISE. The worst thing out-out of cash. "Parlor Matches"-courting in the front room. Polic tnen assist each other by clubbing together. "All married folks are not unhappy." No, only the men. They say "money talks," but the only thing it says to most of us is "good-bye." There was a fight at the mess hall this morning when a stale loaf of bread got fresh. You've heard of people cracking jokes, but have you never heard of them breaking one? Give a girl your heart and the time will come when you won't be able to call your soul your own. Many a woman would marry a man with "wheels" if they were the kind that could roll her in wealth. Why does a man borrow money from one man to pay another-why not let them set tle it between them? Patient: "Do you believe raw oysters are healthy?" Doctor: "I never heard of one of them complaining of be ing sick." Prof. Cook: "I dreamed I was married last night." Prof. Coleman: "Were you happy?" Prof. Cook: "Yes, when I woke up." She (as Lindler giggles over telephone) : "I get hungry every time I hear you laugh." Lindler (still giggling) "Why?" She: "You're all the time laughing like a turkey." STUDENTS Eaton's Highland You Can Get It In Any a BURNETT'S LnWE EXCHANGES. Marion Rowe: What's the distance between your two ears?
