Our Latest Want-Senior Privileges While Carolina rejoices every day an(l every year over her numi erous victories andl gains that make for a Greater and Better Carolina, there is always somie thing yet to b)e gained-or shall we say merely 'co vetedl.' No! this something that we are sp)eak ing of has been covetedl by many previous graduating classes and now it should be gained. It is miuch to be regrettedl that privileges to Seniors, grantedl by nearly all the larger colleges and universities, have never been given to the University studIents.

Exchange Local ................Contributing Editor known to relate here; only in the last few years has the University been ranked as one of the three colleges of the State of an accred ited standard. Therefore we see that she is rapidly growfng in standard and in influence thru out the country, and the time has come when Carolina should give recognition to her Seniors in thel form of certain privileges. It would not be wise to enum Prate all the desired privileges, but just to mention a few that are granted to the gra(uating classes of somp of the foremost in stitutions. In reference to camp us re.4rictions, the whole student body of S. C. could not ask for more freedom-but this is a priv iloge indulged in and enjoyed by the student-body tt large. The Senior class each year would ask for a lower percentage in class attendance requireiments, chipel attendance, and last blt not least an earlier final exam sWlchedule. As condIitions no0w ex ist every membler of the student b)ody is given one chapel "'cut" a, week and1( two ulnexculsed class ab) san1ces a semester with only a small penalty. This is well and1( goodl; no one woul dleprive tIhe "Rat," the Soph, the Junior of these indulgenees but every one would like to see the Senior fav ored1 with a dloublle portionl of these 'college luixuries.' Tie dle ser'ves itr-hel hats spent three years obeying all the 'rules andl regulations' atnd now when he comes to the lat-t it is only just that he shiouild want andl should have more finredom, more recog nitioni, mnore time to solve the 'p)erp)lex ing prIoblems' of his last college days. As for the last imntioned pri v ilege whiebh ira most ,1i ie,i a th University much could be said. No one would be so "ultra-radi cal" at the present as o ask for exemption on a 90-daily-grade basis; let us merely envy the Car olina sons and daughters to come who shall enjoy such a privilege. At the present the Senior class could content themselves with only a two-weeks earlier sched ule. A Senior has a right to en joy only one real Commencement in his life-tine-this right is often denied him by having exams up to the last minute and then the odds and ends of his col lege career to gather up during those last few days when lie should be absolutely free to enjoy visit ing friends and relatives. A two weeks holiday immediately pre ceding Commencement days would add much ease and joy to those happy and final school days. The graduating classes of the University of South Carolino deeply appreciate a privilege that is given to them that few colleges, if any, grant-that is a third trial on finals. Under the present sys tem how can a fellow take his first chance the last day before Commencement begins and IF he fails-as some sometimes do take two more trials? . It is the earnest desire of the student-body of Carolina to have Senior privileges; the time has COie, so here's to the class of '22. The Honor System at Carolina. It is useless to talk to the old men at Carolina about the Honor System, for it is ingrained into th-eir characters and written upon their minids. But a few words to the new llen in regard to this Most important subject may not cOllie amiss. There is not a phase of Campus life at Carolina which is more valuible than the Ilonor System. Ours was the first system of this kind to be installed in any educa tional institution in the country. A nmtber of Honor Systems at other institutions have been modeled after ours. Hence we have good reason to be proud of the Carolina Honor System. 'This system applies most par ticularly to examinations and (Iuizzes. The custom is for the Professor to put his questions on the board and leave the room to the studlents. It is the dluty of tiny stud(ent to report to the Chairman of the Honor Commit tee any violation of the rules of honesty which (omne under his ob servation. This (does niot meani that every student mtust become a spy or a (letective. It is not ex perted1 that any studenCft will go otut of his way to discover breachtes of honor. Bitt it somtetimnes oc curs that such breaches come to our attention utnsoiught. Theni it is our duity to report the guilty p)arty; for it is only by such eo op)eration that the Honor system can b)e preservedI andl enforced. Again wve woutldl emphasize the imuportance of the -Honor system anmd (ttll upon all loyal somns aind (dtaughters of Catrolina to (do their pamrt in making this splendid sys temtn anneoCCSS CLUBS. At the present time a great many clubs are being organized for the sole purpose of having a picture in the annual. There is no harm in this exactly but it would be a much better thing if these clubs and organizations would really function in some 1"wastrue tive way. They are goor things if they have some object in view. They promote college spirit. It will be found that those colleges which are known to be bubbling over with college spirit are filled with a great many organizations of various natures which operaie the year round. And these organ izations do not lower scholarship but rather tend to promote it. At the University county clubs could be organized representing every county in the state. These could contribute articles to the county newspapers about work at the University and therefore serve to better advertise it. Also there is iore room for clubs of a social nature. We need more college or ganizations. Let's have 'em. EFFICIENCY OF Y. W C. A. ON VNIVERSITY CAMPUS Mr. Editor: It has not been my cuistom to bother you for any oz your Valui abie space, but I think now that I am entitled to just enough to let the student body know of some of the charitable deeds that these charming young ladies have been indulging in. I had the misfortune of being confined to the infirmary for three days during the past week and shortly after I had been put to bed the nurse came in with a deliiouis box of chocolate fudge. She presented it to me and said it was a compliment of the Y. W. C. A. But I wont begin to thank them until I have finished telling what I got. Then a little later on the nurse entered again with a lovely bunch of rosebuds an(d a fern with a card of the Y. W. C. A. attached. Then I began to sing the old army song, "I don't want to get well" until Mrs. Madden came an(d asked me to please let her husband sleep a little. I kept it ip. Now my vocabulary is indeed limited to expreCss my exact sen timents and deep alppreciation to these young ladies. They cer tainly seem to have grasped the real purpol)se for which they or ganized. It is creating a sp)irit among the stud(ent b)ody of love and1 unity, andl in return'm for the kindnesses they have shown me I Drawing Material, Picture Frame Auto Wind Head] Webb's / 1627 Main Stret pronise to speak a good word for them each time that oppor tinity presents itself.
