News and Notes of the Campus I Fletcher Fairev now has his wash iig done for 75 cents per week in stead of one dollar by reason of the fact that lie has lost fifteen pouinds, a fact which only the washvoian has discovered. Henry Fair has organized a class in female psychology, anld while it is not expected that the class will he well attenlded, it is hoped that those who attend will derive much blenefit from Mr. Fair's experience with the sublject matter. Aimbs, 'lcLCan, Dickert and Black have been cut from the swim ming squad because of their lack of ability. The team, which is iOw comiposed of Gaston, Vairey, Hu1m 3 phries, Funiderburk amid Stcinburg, is perhaps the fastest material in the state, and the meet soon to be held under the auspices of Dr. Watichope in Prof. Davis' bath tul) is expected j to produce new records in all events. i It is said that Gaston's swan (live S from the cold water faucet is posi Z tively inimitable, and that Ilumph rie's high (live from the lavatory is also executed with truly remarkable grace aid form. Funlderburke's specialty is the hundred yard dash, which is 67 times the length of the tub. His best time was 11.2. Prof. Snowden has lately written a peem on Greenville, p)raising that city in particular, and the Piedmont section in general. The poem is very metrical, and although charac terized by his usual lack of thought, is sincere and musical. It is full of unique orchestration, and borders on the contrapuntal. le is to be con gratulated on this remarkable con tribution to literature. 'he Chanticleer Club held an in teresting meeting in Flynn Hall last night, the topic for discussion he ing "Certain Tendencies of So-call ed Flappers." The club handled the proposition with characteristic frankness, and all present seemed to find the subject very much in order, although Messrs. Wells, Beasley and Wittkowsky were seen to blush at several periods of the discussion. Refreshments were served, through the generosity of Mr. Bell, consisting of cold sliced watermelon and pre-war gin. None of the members attended their classes the following day, but it is hoped that they will recover. Bob Jones has been in the infirm ary for several (lays as the result of D)udley Saunders having offered to buy him an apl)Ie. George Osborne andl Dick Speni cer hit the trail recently at one of "Billy" Sunday's meetings. Spenm cer has been conmsidering this step for some time, as lhe felt that lhe could best show his approval of Mr. Sunday b)y so) (doinig. Thie reporter was unable to find out why Mlr. (Os borne went upi, and he will appre ciate enlhightenument on thle subject. P ro f. R'ucker told his freshumanm class Tumesdlay that he once lost a case, The anlnouneemnent came as a shock to thme members, as they have never had any reas;on to suspect suich a thing before. Prof. Snowden has again conm tradlictedl the rumior about his stay in Venice wvithm Prof. Greeni. Yountg Womanm in Mutsic Store: "I lave you 'Kissed Me in the Moonlight'?"'

BEAUTY CONTEST Conducted By Garnet and Black Somec weeks ago the editor of the ariet & Black held a beauty coi est. Ile wanited this as in fo:mation For the aninal that Ie thinks lie is roing to put out before Columibs fiscovers that he discovered Amer ca. You lads know wlhat this beauty oltest is anld will not have to go into any further details about it. I don't know howi many of you rot a chance to vote, but when the votes were being counted it was found that a pretty race was going in between our Mormon friend, Mr. Purley Tompknis, and "Ladykiller" \Varmath. Everybody in the edi torial room got so interested in the :oitest that they had to stop work nid watch the counting of the votes. The force was pretty well divided. Four for Tompkins and four for \Varmath. At first Warmath had a large lead but when the Co-ed votes were counted this lead was quickly :tt down atid fitially Tompkins rati ahead, never to be passed again. A fter a complete tabulation had been Made it was found that \Variath hiad 255 votes aid Tomiipkins 266 votes. It appears that \Varmiatli was More popular with the boys of the campus, but when it came to the wotuen our friend IPtirley got prac tically every vote-tio, lie failed to get one vote. It tuirlied out that a eo-edl votedh for Warmath. At litrst we all wvondered why Purley was so )popular with the girls. Now we have it. A (lay or two before the contest camne off the tmembers of the Law A ssociationn held a trial. '!opk)lins was t he deC fendant. .I Ie nas chargedl with being a Mormon and( having mlore t han one wife. WVould you b)elieve it but that juiry told hiimi to go to it ando the only thcing that they coul find him guilty mi was not having more wives.

(Continued from Iage (ne) stldents were overjoyed to hear tlie tine news. About a veck later the appropria tion bill came up for first readilg on the floor (of the Itlouse. The Uni versity section was of niost interest to1 all. There was not an item in the (riginal bill that was nlot cialged. MIen were holding each other down inl their seats ill order to get a chance to be able to increase this or increase that. Not a o ne in tile wdiile Ilise asked for item twelve to) be stricken olt or item fifteen ihe cut to liv%.e tlmisanld, like it was last Year. A certain representative, who had oppo1(sed( thle wilmlen's building.. Slien it was biroight upl) last year, mliove( tliat tie appr(oriatilIll for this purpofuSe he increased to live huniidlred thousand d(ialars. Vvcry liian l i ll that ])(Ilv seconded tile 1ii) t ionl. It passed without a1 dissent ilg vote. ThI1e next day it was ptt through a seconid reading, and tihe following day the bill passed the third reading so quickly that one man walte<l to call it back becaise he said that if all other busiless was t raiisacte( as quickly they would not be able to stay the elitire forty days as required by law. 'Ihat Senate, why they are so strong for the University that the Finance Committee increased the amount asked for ill the bill to over two million dollars. The senators waxed eloquent in their praise for the institution that has withstood the storms for more than a hundred years. When President Jackson called up the Appropriation il there were wild crys for the Uni versity section. A staunch Cita delite moved that the bill, relative to the University, le passed as approv ed by the committee. A roll call was not necessary. A rising vote signified that the Senate was behind higher education in the State of South Carolina. Wlen the news hit the campus the students ran out of their classes, formed a parade, aiid, uni1der the leadership of the newly elected cheer leader, Bill Collins, marched uip ti the State House, entered the Senate Chamber and gave fifteen Ilusty yells for tile illembers of the tipper house. They next repaired to the IIouse and the yells broke out afresh. Business was dispensed with alnd the members gathered around the boys and said "go to it, we are for Carolina first, last and always." Never was a finer spirit witnessed by the mlembiers of the gallery. It took three (lays for tile studenits to get oiver the celebirations that fol lowedl. Studying was forgotten for the timue becing. D r. Melton was toio happy to find words to express his satisfaction. "Boys, it is mlore than I expIect edl. Surprised is not the word to use. Somnehiow I cannlot find the ln-oper word, lbut youl boys and( girls kinow howi I feel about thle genleros ity' of the L,egislature.
