Scandal Unearthed. The Carolina campus is accustomed to sensational discoveries anI revela tions but never has been unfolded an thing that has so deeply stirred the student body as a whole as the sudden and unexpected exposure of a gang of theives composed of three of the most respected men upon the campus. Alas cand alack ! And just to think that t".ter Fant Kelly had been elected resident of the Junior Class of last c year, President of the Y. M. C. A., c"nd to other positions of honor and c4rust too numerous to be nentioned in iis brief article-and that Boo) Hope, Mhe supposedly honest and upright L'reasurer of the Clariod iphic Liter c ary Society and a big "Y" man - and ,,that Mutt Millard, the able and hard utvorking associate Editor of this sheet A nd the most handsome man on the ampus-it is hard to believe the last Sunday night I I I ! truth as we saw it with our own eyes. Yes, much as we hate to do so, we feel that it is our bounden duty to re veal all the hideous crimes and nefar ious schemes of this trio of "gettle men crooks." As is well known the U. S. C. is operated under the oldest hi-. or system in the United States ant these brazen rouges are so hardened that two of them have subscribed their support to an earnest attempt to better our present si'stem. Such hypocrisy! It is too much I But, revenons a nos moutons! We had heard about tent (lays ago that someone was in possession of a desk that belonged rightfully to one George H. Wittkowsiky-and that all efforts to unearth the said desk were unavail ing. We accompanied the victim of this robbery upon some of his ramb lings in search of the treasure and cant testify that lie gave the rooms of Mes srs. Kelly, Hope and Millard a very cursory examination after they had in formed him that his property was not to be found therein. Witt searched the campus high and low, and, tho finding his mattress, chairs, mirror, books and toothbrush scattered around and in use itt various rooms was unable to light upon the desk. (This is told strictly in confi dence and we would not like to have it repeated but the great intrinsic value of the desk was due to a bundle of let ters left in it by the unfortunate \itt last year.) And now for the bald facts from which each may draw his own deduc tions: Late Sunday night Mr. Mil lard was found in his room with HOPe and Kelly, in the act of knocking the back off of George's desk which ie had painted a light green in place of its former sober brown hue, and other wise mutilated beyond identification (if all Mr. Wittkowsky's letters had not been found scattered carelessly about the room where the three vil lains had thrown them after carefully thumbing over one.) Me Hope was surprised itt the act of copying one that commenced "Sweettess"-- antd ended, "Your own infatuated Mary Annite." All three of the gutilty parties have conifessed their part in the crimte, and even told us howv thtey had stolen and sold other furntiture to the amount of $453.27 wvith whtich they hoped to get a place ont the glee club for Mr. Mil lard and his beauti ful bass voice, a space in the Beauty Sectioni of this ye(ar's Garnet anid Black for Mr. H ope andl perhaps have entough to finaitce a (late for Mr. Kelly at C. C. or Chticora. This is the sadl truth.. We wvash ouir hands of the whlole a ffair anid leave to the discretion of the stutdettt hody the punishnment that should be meted out. Changes at the Y. M. C. A. Has antybody noticed R. G. Bell's ntew hat ? WVell, does antybodyv kinow why he has discarded that greent cap lie wore last y'ear, for that b)raiid niew tolp-piece? Shi-h-hi-ht! If you wont't tell R. G. I'll putt you wise to the "why" of the new l id I The simple truithI is that "'R. G.'" has a typical case of ''swell head." Now yout ask why lie htas such an en largementt of the dlotme. WVell, that ques tion may be antswered by simply wvalk ing in Flinn H all and lookiatg arotud. Improvemnents ? Well I should smile! "R. G." is so proiud( of the almost new Flinnt H-all lie has conitractedl thte afore said malady. WVe dont't blame him a bit ;neither wvill you if you give it the onice over. Of course thte itew meat (10 men; you who were here last year can make a mental picture of the Flinn Hall you left in June, and compare it with the one you came back to this fall. To begin with, the interior, including floors and ceilings, has been repainted, thereby coveng up the handiwork of many an amateur artist, and penman. The walls are painted a tasteful brown to the height of about three feet, and fron there to the ceiling are Calcimined in a cream color. The object of the brown wall, according to "R. G.." is to keep the hoof-marks of the "hull-ar tists" from showing when they prop themsleves against the walls for a "ses Sion." Then there is a new set of wicker furniture for the comfort of those who desire to take their ease at Flinn Hall instead of the Wigwam. Incidentally tre new wicker table makes an excel lent support for the omni-present checker board. And now, last but far from least, :here is the brand new phonograph for he fellows to tear up and a bunch of new records that smash beautifully. lut say fellows, since Mr. Bell has ,one to all the trouble of havng Fliin Hall put in uch an A-I condition, let is, as students, try to keep it in such condition. If you must write, take :aper along, and. don't write on the walls at Flinn Hall. If you must have a magazine in your room don't take it from Flinn Hall. Go up town and buy it at a news stand, or get it from the library. Try to handle the phon Jgraph as carefully as you would the ine at home, and don't use the records to practice the discus throw. I be !ieve we owe it to Mr. Bell and the University "Y" to keep Flinn Hall in the same excellent condition into which t is being put at present. J. E. M. 000 The Vanity Box. Amidst a shower of iced tea inter .persed with the most cordial greetings from the "old" girls, our new little sis ters were made welcome at the official opening of the Co-eds' Hall-popularly and properly termed the "Vanity Box." %-ou didn't know about it? Then cer :ainly you missed a treat-for the tea had real lemon in it and. it surely did help to pass the time, if nothing more, that warm Wednesday morning. To be more specific, exact and quite definite, the Co-eds no longer are confined in two (lark crowded rooms under the President's house, but have spread out-blossomed forth, as 'twere 1i.d possess an entire house, all by their little ownsomes. The location. It's on the way to lurnett's-you know the place-that deaf little yellow house, with vines scrambling all over it, and a high Ireen fence on the north side. It is tie house formerly occupied by the laile family, almost opposite Profes otr Rucker's domicile, and diagonally across from the library. Quite a con venient location, think you not? The ladies of the faculty have been accedingly busy the past week buying furniture, hemming curtains and plan ring all things with an eye towards the future. One even hears rumors of a tennis court, to he built in thc back yard, amidst the little fig trees. While the house is not as yet entirely furnished, still one feels quite "at hm"even upon entering the yard for there is a Y. WV. C. A. girl on a poster smiling out from the porch. lnsidhe are two large rooms, to be usedl exclusively for the "Y. W." meetings ; a room for Hypatian Liter.. ary Society; a (dear little dlininig room with tables of grey; a complete kitch :---over which some of the youiig ladies are quite enraptured; besides several other delight ful rooms, nooks and( cozy corners, whose exact use is still to be decided. One is also let into a secret ;several vague plans, floating suggestions, whispers of piarties, stunts to lbe pulled .f f, jolly little celebrations-oh girls! aren't you glad you're a Co-ed ? We'd all like to know one thing, tho. Why (10 sonme of our near-face tious friends call our hall the "Towver ,f able?'" Cathiarine Floyd.
