CLARIOSOPHIC SOCIETY The Clariosophic Society en tertained the Freshmen with a re ception on Monday night, Sept. 26. Addresses were iiiade by Mr. "Greece" Grayden, an aluninus of the society and a lawyer in the city., E. M. Smith, 0. C. Black mon, and Professor E. Marion Rucker. Mr. Grayden, with his old time vigorous style sparkling with wit and humor, gave a rous ing address enumerating the bene fits of contact with the students p and life itself while in college. Professor Rucker spoke of the hon or system and its incalculable ben efit to every man who comes un der its influen:e. lie emphasized the fact that the honor system was the practical appiication of the principles of human conduct in life.

C The first regular meeting of the ?society was held Saturday Night, v Oct. 1. Forty three new mem c bers were initiated into the society and these were given an oppor J tunity to express themselves on , the floor. From the remarks of 4 some of the speakers we judge that a The Clariosophic has some pro :z mising material for future ac tivities. The regular program was dispensed with anu the floor extended to Mr. J. J. Stevenson, an alumnus of the society and now a student at Emory University. After a brief talk by him the so ciety adjourned. EUPHRADIAN SOCIETY The Euphradian socrety began its year's work with excellent prospects. A social for the bene fit of new men was held the first Saturday night of the school year and was attended by about one hundred and fifty Freshmen. Speeches were made by A. II. Macaulay, a graduate of the so ciety last year, Douglas McKay, another alumnus, W. F. Parker and several others. iefreshments were served later in the evening. Due to the Freshman reception Friday night, the regular meeting night of the society, the first re gular meeting was held on the Saturday night following. Thle regular program was dispensed with and the time given over to the initiation of new men. A bout twenty five were received into the society. At her home on the caynpus, Mrs. George A.' Wauchope de lightfully entertained all the Co edls as guests of the Hlypatian Literary Society lAst Wed nesdlay afternoon. . Quite a number of girls calledl (luring the afternoon and enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. 'Wauchope who is an honor ary member of the society. Prospects for a most successful year for the society are excellent. SWe are gladl to welcome many old as well as new Co-eds on the campus into our membership Y.IM. C. A BEGINS YEAR'S WORK At a Council meeting held the first Monday night before school was opened the University Y. M. C. A. made extensive plans for making this year the greatest year that Carolina has ever had in the way of "Y'' work. As to the realization of those plans the activities of the "Y" already this year point to a great year for them. College night, The Fresh man Hanquet, and the Freshman Reception were all great succes ses and far surpassed like occa sions for former years. The members of the Freshman class were given a Banquet at the City Y. M. C. A. on Tuesday night. Some 90 odd members of the Freshman class were present for the feed and they regaled themselves on eats and with in tellectual food in the shape of speeches by sonic of the noted men around Carolina. Dr. Shayer made the speech of the evenmg ur ging the young men for strong clean living. Ile was followed with able speeches by McBride Dabe, a former President of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Carpenter, the new chaplain, Alex Waite of foot ball renown who is the chairman of the Freshman conmnittee of the Y., and by 11. G. Bell, secre tary of the University Y. M. C. A. Norman Hiuckabee was present and with contortions, bello'ings, and other antics keep the crowd in a state of pertubation. The co eds served the meals and some of the Freshmen were so enamored that they forgot to eat. One was observed eating the rind of the grapefruit while another tried to partake of the cut flowers set in front of himi, having possibly heard of celery some where in that remote district from which he journeyed to Carolina. No, they are not green. But, eats notwithstanding, tak ing all possible attractions and detractions in consideration, after all is said and done-the climax of the work done to make the Freshmen realize they had come to the best college in the state, was the soiree given by the Fresh 1:Ien class Friday night. '1hie de lectable part of which was of course the young femmes from Columbia and Chicora, not to mention the beauteous part of our own campus. Time alone can tell what hearts were set afname with the cupidhs (hart at this reception and( what pain and joy will nec es.sarily followv. In time to come some men will thank the UJniver sity Y. M. C. A. from the bottom of their hearts for having made their lives complete, while others ! Tho sad to tell some fel lows just couIld not talk and had to pass the time away by suggest ig frequent and r'epeated trips to time plunch bowl. In times past we have heardl of punch that would loosen the tongue-but this was Y. M. C. A. punch at the re. ception. Thlings have settled dlown to the regular routinie now and1( thme reg ulhar activities of the Y. M. C. A. -the Wednesday nuight meetings and the Friday night Bible Clnae will begin this week.
