We note with regret that the editor of "Bell's Bible" omitted from his otherwise flawless production a chap ter on the "Wise Selection of Cour ses." Of all themes this is one which must, of necessity, be of prime impor tance to Freshmen. In the absence of any other source of enlightenment on the subject the duty of elucidation falls upon our weak but willing shoulders. In former days unsophisticated youngsters have made grave mistakes along this lie. The case is on record of one A. Mutte from Beaufort who coming here as an ignorant unadvised Freshman, signed up for a course which, in a few months, completely un dermined his mental and phisical well being. His case was called to the at tention of the medical authorities and so appealed to some psychiatrists that a thorough investigation was insti tuted. Tn the course of this investigation it was revealed that this poor young Mutte person had rushed in where no self-respecting angel would have dared to tread and had signed up for a course which was calculated to wreck the brains of three ordinary mortals. Heading the list was a course in Pub lic Speaking given twice a week, at the hour of two. The learned doctors were horrified to think that at the hour when the minds of most men are in their abdominal regions this poor lad was laboring away at the arduous task of making speeches, that task which the average mortal approaches with so much of reluctance, fear and dread. Among the other courses taken by Mr. Mutte was one in Social Hygiene, a rourse whilli, in our opinion, should not be taken by any but graduate stu dents. It is also a matter of record that the lad had Dr. Vran Meter's course in Physical Education. But what is believed to have been the straw that broke the proverbial cam el's back was a course in Physics 1. The frequent, menacing and unfounded threats of poor marks which are han ded out free of charge with this course were more than Mr. Mutte's erstwhile sturdy constitution could withstand (And Professor Carson did not teach this course.) Mr. Mutte is now languishing in a local insane asylum, a living warning to any young Freshman to "lay off the hard boys." It is to be hoped that among the present Freshman class none will be found so foolish as to emulate the example of this unfortunate from Beaufort. W. Freshmen, Attention! Cease thy laborious tasks, oh ye Freshmen, and listen to the law of cus tom. It has always been a custom at all schools of learning to have sonic method of distinguishing the Freshmen from uipper classmen. At some schools Sall Freshmen must submit to the unpre tentious embryonic Sophomore barber and in others they must wear a skull cap dlesigned by a committee from the Saustere Sophomore class. Here at Car olina both methods have been tried with the latter proving to be the more suc cessful. 'rhe reason the former is not practicedl is that the Sophomores realize that a bare-headed rat wvould not care to be seen by his Columbia or Chicora Col lege girl friend without his flocking locks and permanent wave. Thus, as I have said before, the skull cap method predominates here on our Scampus. Last year a committee desig nated a cap entirely of garnet with a small black "C" in a conspicious frontal Sposition. There were about one hundred and fifty of these caps on the campus last sesion and I know there are a great number of Sophomores wvho would fore Sgo a broken heart before disposing of so dlear a treasure. Now Freshmen, it is not the policy at Carolina to force a rat to (10 what the upper classmen deem best. They are told what is expected of them and as a rule they have enough college spirit to obey. This habit, as it exists here, of wtearing skull-cap is one of the best way s of exhibiting the Carolina spirit. (hur football season opens this afternoon .111d will continue until Thanksgiving. Altho it is too late to get the caps for this game, start nowy and ask the Sopho mnore s to dig up their old caps for you uo use. If there are not enough caps to '0 aroundl, a committee from the upper cse cn ordler them and have them on Shand very soon. C. T. The Y. M. C. A. Council. The Y. M. C.
