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.

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

entire student body it would be
a reflection.
For those outside the uni
versity, for the Alumni, the an

year's aiclievemient. In its
pages the life oin our calipus.

---all these-are clearly por

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

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

able to live themn over again.
Without your help this year
the Seniors will be deprived of
this pleasllre.

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

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.

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.

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.
I also heard the cowbells clank,
A. tin tub hit the floor
T'he thunder roared, a woman
screamed,I
(reat guns, is t1here something
more9
The horses neighed, somie lions
roared
Is Barumi's circus here?
It is, I hear the venders yell,
Phe calliope rends the air,
F awake with a jerk and plione
the doc,
RIe comes,-his case lie has,,
Re looks at me. "Am I dying,
doc?"
'No, son, you're full of jazz."
