Cornelia Huggins .The co-eds are very adept in staging a carnival and we hope that they were able to meet all 'expenses and that enough funds were left with which to purchase soie new equipment for their study hall on,the campus. The last issue of The Game ceck was numbered 10, which was a- mistake due to the fact that two men were setting up -that issue. We wish to state that the last edition was num er 9, and that this week's Game cc will be nuynbered 10. -It is with the greatest pleasure that we turn over the columns of The Gamecock next week to the University co-eds. We are sure that they will turn out, a sheet that will -refect credit upon themselvpi and upon the 1Jiversity. Their issue will possibly be a better one than the male staff has been able ' "edit. In Miss Cecile Huggins, we think that the co-eds have se 4etted a very competent editor in-chief. She is a willing work er and with -her experienced re portorial staff will edit an ex ..cellent Gainecock for next week. We are. devoting space in our editorial columns in this issue of The 'Gcnecock to : an - article whichest5uck us very forcibly as being an excellent editorial on the subject of a woman's build ing here at the University. In a previous edition, we at tempted to argue for a dorm-itory for Me Women students- of the 1n9ersity and we were desirous of writing another editorial for the same purpose when we found this article on the editorial page of The State. The subject ' Is treated fromu a different view pofit than has -heretofore -been the case and we hope that our readers will take time to ac quaint themselves with its con The editor of the Furman Hocrnet, without a doubt wafted hito the air on raccount of, Fur 9' victor'y over Cleinson, writ,es two editorials. in which he 1mlie~% fte fbtald~ oiw filafliM T In 1 ti es f st u e t-Gi pian aav p p1ye4 th$ a ,num ; ber' of gs iri'n the 8ttt, bo) teanis being undefeated:.

Proof Reading. ~One of our greatest desires in editing The Gamecock, has been to pick up a copy and read thru it without being shocked by run ning into a typographical error. We have put forth our bes % ef forts to attain this end, but as yet We have not succeeded. No matter how carefully we read: the proof, one or two errors af" ways escape our searching gar. It is certainly disappointing t us to pick up a Gamecock will ing to wager that there is not a single error 'in the matter, and then find a mistake. Proof reading is not as easy a task as the average newspaper reader may think. It seems to us that the proof reader should be able to read a proof and cor rect every single error. But some will always escape him. We ask,: therefore, that the readers of The Gamecock bear with us and overlook the errors. that we have failed to detect. No man can be human and fail to err. The Christmas Spirit. Old Scrooge, Dickens' famous character, is probably the most famous hater of Christmas in the world. "Christmas-Bah !" said old Scrooge. But there are thousands of men, women and children in this country who ."Bah" with Scrooge either before or after December 25. Scrooge hated Christmas be cause he neither g4ve nor re ceived the right things in the 'ight spirit. He has imitators 'for the same reason. The object of Christmas giv ing is to mp4e_thos to whom you give happy. That is the only way you can make YOURSELF happy. Yod cannot make those you care for happy by ill con sidered gifts. If your gift means nothing except a package tied with red ribbon with holly wreaths on 'it, it is valueless eith er to the giver or the receiver, no matter whether its wrappings' cover a diamond necklace or a fifty-cent iecktie. To give real Christmas gifts you must put thought as well as money into them--you must give with the spirit that is called the Christmas 'Spirit. BEAUTY AND BRAINS. Should or should not the girl in the University who is not beautiful consider that she is at a disadvantaget Do good looks constitute an asset or a liabili ty? The answer to these questions, a qras the individual is con Tilf de ntpin-e up volu~' and nn the nature of miost journeys to :h,e$,DM d ' fountain ' is it is oAontraij to ier cree ' of popularity to be among ttose not predn.At. the dante of 'any social. group; if the Is constitutionallyr opposed to' spending an evening occas to ially alone or simply in the company of other girls; if =these are the things. whilch appear large on her horizon," then un doubtedly her greatest asset .is a pretty face. 'Bu't if she 'be. more. serious minded and have some purpose other than spendingthe time. pleasantly, thh question of skiY deep beauty may not be e source of very great perturbation 'f mind. She may not. even worry over-much as to whether her lips' are "on. straight or whether the color in her cheeks is of the proper tint.'. She has not the temptation, caused by continu ou invitations to dance and to dine, to neglect the .thing in hand or the w6rk which is tak ing =her wneare' he goah- Her mind does not dwell primarily uppn tho' thingswhicu4have to do wi*th.complexion and dress.

In the matter of the erection of a building for women at the University is involved much more than the immediate inter est of the institution and the women students. What is to be the disposition of the men, while they are in compl6te control ..of the legisla ture, before the womep have be gun~ to vote in large nunibers? A sufficient number of orgagi izations of women have request. Bd the erection of. the building to indicate 'the wishes of the women of the state. Ref,usal, to provide the build Lng would be equivalent to a de .ilal of equal p,riyllegek s ovomen in state Inistitutions, -teIr pres mece in this institution having long been conceded by law.
