The Library isn't a good place to flirt with the young ladies. We protest against the indis criminate awarding of block "C"s by the faculty in Physics, Math and French. "It (a liberal education) soft ens the customs and does n)ot allow them to be rude," is a free translation of the University seal. Seeing Ourselves. "Oh wo'd some power the gift ha gi us To see ourselves as ithers see uIs., The power wvas furnished when the proofs of the pictures for the Annual were received. It is not known what was expected b)ut many were dlisappointedl and (dis illusioned. The concensus of opinion was, "your picture looks just like you, mine doesn't look a thing like me." The trouble was purely psy chological. We have an ideal conception of ourselves and it goes hard with us to find out otherwvise. We have not come to that stage wvhere we can dlemandI( as Cromrwell did ; to be paintedI "wart and all."

The lens of the caiera and your eyes see differ ently. Tihe co-eds were worse than the boys-in condemning the pic tures. Some of them became pos itively angry. To a disinterested party, however, the pictures were triue to the originals. Pass the vord around that al though "a photographer is friend ship's perfect gift" it is'nt suit able for a Christmas present. That is if you desire the good will of the young lady. Console yourself, 0! disconso late one, that proofs can be so re touched that even you will be Illade glad. Welcome "Spizzerinktum." The latest to make it's appear ance in South Carolina college jouirnalIismi is the izzernktum, published b)i-weekly by the stu dlents of Chicora College for WVo ment. It's editor, or edhitoress, is Miss Evelyn Lea who is assisted b)y Miss Mary Caldwell. Miss Pauline Overcash is Business Manager and Miss Kathleen Wil lingham is Circulation Manager. We hope she will not neglect to circulate a few aroulnd Carolina every issue. The first issue was very attractive andl wvell arrangedi and1(, j udging fromn it's contents, it is well namnedl. We are fram ing the article on "Gamecocks. C1hicora 's I acking You" but we read with only mil interest the ad(1vertisement of a certain firm in the city advertising it's candly. We welcome Sp?zzerinlktw.m in to our ranks andl wish for it a suc cussful andl useunin lien Co-eds Write. "Genius unwrought can form nothing useful !" To some very highly educated people "can.' is the biggest word in the English vocabulary. In all reverence, the Lord pity the man or the woman, the boy or the girl, who "can't." To other peo ple, some highly educated and some not, "can't" is about the smallest word on the English tongue, and "can't" is just about the poorest excuse a fellow can give to get out of doing things. The person who always says "I can't" usually is the one who never has tried and doesn't know -he too is the one who, if he tries, suddenly discovers that he can and then4 "goes to it" with all his might. At the last meeting of the Hy patian Literary Society a motion was introduced to amend the con stitution to the effect that each member of the Society must con tribute at least one article to one of the student publications before receiving a Society diploma. The motion has not been voted on yet, but the theme of discussion on the motion was "I can't." It is a well known fact that the feminine sex are very fond of put ting into practice their power of speech. Much has been, is being, and will be said in the past, pre sent and future by famous women -things that are worthy of being recorded and are worth reading. It is only within the past few cen turies that woman has become a real part of literature, and look what she has accomplished. As she advances more and more in the present day into political and industrial realms, there is a great er demand for this literary ad vancement. The girls of Carolina have an unusual opportunity to vie with the other sex for superiority in "literature"-why not make it a lively contest? Read the seven names on the roll of the Carolina "Scribblers' Club"-the names of seven men! Is this because the girls are not capable of coming up to the standard? No. Is it in difference? Let it not be! Who knows but what there may be on our campus a George Eliot, a Mrs. Browning, or a Lady Greg ory-it is even possible that there may be a Hypatia among us! Discover yourself. Let's see if we can't have some rep)resentative Scribbler ! It dloesn't cost any thing to try-just try and see if you can! If you have a bit of news Send it in. Or a joke that will amuse, Send it in. A story that is true, An incident that is new, We wvant to hear from you, Send it in. WVill your story make us laugh? Send it in. Never mindl about the style, If your~ story is worth while, And may help or ('ause a sil e, Send it in. -Selected. I FORUM. THE STUDENTS a Carolina man, as some would have us suppose. I do not mean to insinuate that they were Fur man men. No, to the contrary, I say that more ex-students and alumni were drunk and drinking than were students of the col leges combined. If those who have never taken a drink are the ones to criticise the students who have overstepped the traces, they are justified in doing so. But those who, hiding under the guise of law-abiding citizens, have their cellars stocked with booze, still persist in knocking Carolina, are even below the moral stand ards of Judas, if they know of his case. Let the righteous re move the cause, temptations and examples of drinking, then the fallen will remove the results. "Horace Ibzan." Dear Editor: It has come to my notice that the weakly paper, called the "Public Offender" has taken onto its already burdened shoulders the task of editing and managing the annual of our university. The Editor and Business Mana ger were honored (?) to have their names in the columns of that iminent paper. The cause of the tirade was the awarding of the photographic work on this year's annual to The White Stu dio, Inc. of New York City. Now, of course, this concern is not suite(d, alleges the above paper, to the handling of the work. Well enough. They seeimi to satisfy the United States gov ernment, the annuals of Annap olis and West Point, and other larger colleges use their work, so it stands to reason that if their prices are in ratio to those of the "seven reputable" photographers of Columbia, why should not the management of the annual in tihe execution of their office to which they were elected by the student body, award the contract to them. Let it be said in passing, that the writer is in a position to know that the proposition as sub mitted by The White Co., Inc., was better than couldl be gotten from any local photographer. The quality of the work is open to the inspection of all, in fact it is invited. The Editor and Bus iness Manager did what they knew was the best, and their action met with the approval of the student body. It was not thought expedient at the time to take a referendum of all the in habitants of the city and state as to whom the contract should be given. "Too many cooks spoil the broth" or wordis to that effect. If the editor of the paper in question will bend his efforts to filnd the panacea of all political and mom-al corruptions which he seeks, insteadl of diverging off onto the management of our an nual, wve know he wvill more read ily findl the object of his search. "Wagstaffe. THE OPEl OF, BY AND FOE The management of the Game cock wishes to call attention to the addition of a new feature to the publication. This is the col umn headed "The Open Forum." In this column it is the wish of the management that articles be written pertaining to the stu dent life and activities on and around the campus. There is no limit to the possibilities of this column if the readers of this weekly will help to maintain it. The only requisite is that every article must be signed, with two names if desired. One may be a "pen-name" or some fictitious one to reveal the true name of the writer. But the article must also be signed with the real name. This will not be published, but is for the safe-guard of the man agement and of the students in general. A colunn like this is run in many other college publications and is not the creation of the creation of the Gamecock staff. It has proven to be of much use in correcting faults and making improvements in coflege life. It is the hope of the management that this column will be freely used by the students. The right is reserved by the management to reject any artice that is in clined to be directed against any one person, but articles concern ing other matters will be printed as sumbitted. Editor "The Open Forum:" The reputation of this Uni versity has been sadly blemished lately by the fact that "a noun tain has been made from a mole hill." I am referring to the gos sipers who have taken great pleasure in telling the world about the "indiscriminate drink ing that took place at the Fur man-Carolina football game. There was drinking at the game and afterwards, this is admitted. Is there any school or university in this state or anywhere else that does not have its troubles over the bottle tossing that is done by a few of its students? If so, that institution is to be sincerely complimented. But from the rumors that have gone like a plague over the state, every stu (lent at this university is a "lick er-drinking fool." And from these stories, it is erroneously de ducted that just because they have come to Carolina, is the ieason that they acquire the com panionship of Bacchus. But the fact is evident on a moments seri ous contemplation. If a fellow is the kind of a man that wants to drink, he came to Carolina with that desire; Carolina (lid not em hue him with the craving for in toxicating liquor. The cause of the dlesire lies nearer home. It must have been placed there be for the man ever enteredl these walls. In any case, every man that was drinking or drunk at the Furman-Carolina gnme wra not
