I.. -lendry Many people at preseit want a free country, free from taxes. Hun for the Legislature next sunnmer, the exercise will do you good. Now liat exais have colie and gone we can get back to "Nornialcy" once more. The Carolina "1Pullets" are a hard fighiting buinch, the other teams are just too large for themi. In the springtime a ouig man's mind cbanges slightly from thoughts of studying. I)o it now! Again the infernal tlrianrle makes its appearance. This time it is Conum1bia, ChIlicora and Carolina. It does lis good to note the way in which our basket-ball team has improve(l. Keep ulp the good work There is a movement on foot to make chtapel attend(ance comt pulsory for the memb)ers of the faculty on the grouInd that whlat is good1 for young students is also goodl for older stud1enrts. Buy An Annual. Tlhaer'e ar'e mor'e ways of show ig col)ilege spirit thani by yell ing. D)eeds speak louder titan noise. One of the ways of shtowinug that you are beltind the UJniv ersity, that you are interest (El in her welfare and( that you are willing to do your part, is to buy an annual. Unless at least three ihutndlred students sign up and pay for their copy in adlvanIce, thtere wilh be no annual thtis year. For t;he Senior c1a.'t this mm.1,1l he a lisalP)outinmelit ; and upon the entire student body it would be a reflection. For those outside the uni versity, for the Alumni, the an iual is a recapitulatioi of the year's aiclievemient. In its pages the life oin our calipus. tile feelin' of fellowship among students, the invigorating "pep" whic spices mur college activ ities our victories and defeats, ---all these-are clearly por trayel. There is many a high school boy who is trying to de cide which school to go to next year. Ile is constaitlY asking tle students of the diterent colleges, "I1ow do you like it down there?" Place in his hands a copy of the University Annual, glowing and pulsatim: with the atmosphere of old Carolina, and he will soon de (ide where to go. You who are Freshmen, S(q1lohiores anld Juniors, when yo become Seniors vou expect to have an annual. You will Iake it. home and in after years. as you turn its pa'-es, as you see all the old familiar scenes al faces, tle ol college lays will come back and you will be able to live themn over again. Without your help this year the Seniors will be deprived of this pleasllre. p4i/ G S. C. "Pep" ill (Ireer, S. C! WoI woul have thought it! Nevertheless such is the case, for the students of 0'reei Hligh School publish a very creditable milontlly journal called "Pep" which goes to prove that there is no lack of "pep" ald scloi entiusiasm in C11reer, S. C. The January issue of "Pep' is well filled with a variety of splendid contributions, from the studnts, amiong theimi good his torical sketches of ('ieenville an1d Spartanburg counties. We note with interest the dis cu.ssion concerning proposed Stmdent ('Novernment in (Greer 111ighi School, and we earnestly exprs tlie hope that ('xreer "Hi" may set the exaimple to the other high schools of the state h being the first to in aulgilrate the "1IIolr Princi plie" of Stu'ent ('overnmient andm to dem'ionistraUte its pract i cal aplllicnt ion to high schools, in the saiie mianner that the Un1i versi ty of .Sout h Ci(aroli na toolk thle lead miore t han a hiun diredl years ago ini the pr'ovinJg of its v'aluie in (colleges. Thie "I lonor principle or "Sysem"ax it is sometimnes called, a lwayx miakes good in tihe colleges of the South, espe cially whenever it ix p)ropelIy itr'oducedl, and we bel iev'e that it can alU so be successfully in-i stalled in ouri Southern high schools. Other hi gh schools of the state may p)rofitablly follow Greer in thle estahhlishmenit of a hiigh school niewspa per, to serve, li ke "Pep" as a miediumhi for school expression anid a dynamo of S-hool morale Examinations. Examinations, one of the sur viving forim of imedieval tor ture, have come and gone, but the scars that. they made are still upon our souls. Even yet hundreds of students gaze long ingly at the )eain's bulletin board and pray that the Prof essor will be merciful. Those who failed find comfort and sympathy in the company of those who came, saw, but did not shoot their Professors. Every year around this cai pus we hear that the Professors are slOcter in their warking. How is that r .'sible? If this is true the Senior of this year should feel relief when hie con siders that he will have only one more trial by exam (if lie passes. As long as it is possible for students to cram and uncram, examinations will be an1 unsiue cessful method for judging their knowledge. Ilow is it possible to measure in terms of 100, or less, one's knowledge of any subject? After all grades are only relative things. So, if you passed be thankful, but if you flunked sit on the front seat, look interested, stu dy occasionally and the next tine you will not he weighed in the scales and found want ing. Observations On Modern Dress Legs, oi ! the legs. No, not liilbs but legs like those that are to be seen flash ing around beyond the foot lights anl passing up and down Main street. Why is it that hundreds of college boys spend every afternoon on Main street? Look for the answer in the title of this editorial. Well, sup pose men do loaf on the street to see what is to be seen what is (one? "As a iman thinketh in his heart so is lie." "The eyes are the windows of the soul." What one sees constant ly will fill the imagination. For every one man who "looks 'ei Over," to admire the artistic beauty, nine men look, and imagine thoughts that miay not even be hinted at in these lines. Ever.y honest ian who hangs out on Main street will fell you that the miore lie looks, the harder lhe finds it to remain clean and pure of heart. D o men go up str'eet merely t.o see? Of course not. The ma.jority of college boys to be found up street each afternoon are there because they have nothing to do. Being there they see-and learn to crave to These lines will not appreci ab)ly decrease the number of Main street loafers, but it is hoped that some will recognize the truth of the observation and will profit by it, that a man may he more able to live a life free from impure thoughts and actions who loafs in other places than those where bare knees are to be seen. --(Contributed.) EXCHANGESI IIONOlS COURSE (Siith College.) Smith College will introduce a revolutionary change in its organization next spring with the est.qblishment of an honors course to give special opportu nities to students of high abili ty. Sophomores with an aver age of 1 or over may become candidates for honors in spe cial departments, according to the plan which offers a chance to work intensively and be freed from the interruptions of ex aminations and many prescrib ed courses. Bernard College adopted a similar plan this fall. SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM The effort of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Asso ciation in behalf of the found ing of a school of Journalism at Washington and Lee Uni versity asP a memorial to Gene ral E. Lee bringst to general notice the fact that the first school of journalism in the Uni ted States was begun at this same institution which was then Washington College. That was in 1869, whienl the South's great military leader was Ipresi dent of the college. The fact is recorde(l in the official files of the United States Bureau of education. Strangely eniough, the idea was not welcomed at the time, particularly by news mien themselves, who held to the belief that there was only one, royal roa(l to journalistic learning-that which led thru the journalistic offices of the publication. Two New York editors called the idea of a school "absurd." But times and opinions have changed. There are now eminent schools of joulrnalisin, one establish indeed by a great journalist. The zeal with which thme publishers of theSouth have punmt themselves to work for the Lee school in dicates that they will surely sulcceedl in the undertaki ung. Mobile Register (Dem.)

JAZZ I stepped on her toe at mid night As the pianist slid off the stool, The banjos stopped his bold Clinking And went to the window to cool The violinist rosined his hair bow The druiner soon ceased his hold din, The music just stopped of a sudden Intermission had just b)utted ill. A half hour more the gang cam(e back 'To start the dance again, They took their places round their tools And the dancers ciapped like sin. I heard a discord pierce the airl My partner said, "Let's dlance." I jumped into position then I went into a trance. I got in bed al four o'clock And weNt right off to sleep. I had a dream, I heard the horn1 That called in father's sheep.

H. DATE EXCHANGE (University of Chicago) A news dispatch carries t)he nformation that the co-eds of Dhicago University have open 1d a "(date exchange," so that men students may apply for girls. The idea was started by bwo young women of thme uni versity who passed out an ex thange list of one hundred lames. Several immediate re plies wvere receivedl from the rnore bashful of the males.
