LITERARY SOCIETIES HOLD JOINT SESSION (Continued from Page One) club in Sumter wanted to arrange a debate with one or both of the societies. A committee was ap)ointed to arrange matters. The next meeting brought before the attention of tile two societies was the question of clubs and campus activities. A motion was made by some gentle man that the two societies go on record as favoring the Students' Economic Foru1. Ameidilet after aiendniut were tacked on until the societies favored the Big Four Club, the Single Standard of Morals League, the German Club, the Freniclh Club, etc. At last the or iginal motion was expanded to include al campus activities except the faculty (they are not active). Many other things of importance were taken r;ader consideration. Before the jiiiit assembly adjourned Mr. E. NI. Bhack stated that the main object in calling the joint meeting of the two so cieties was to show the freshmen what it was like. ---.

Zi-i-ippeee, click, we are now ready to give our weekly program, which will he quite different from the last one which we broadcasted. For the benefit of those who missed our last program we will give a short resume of it. The whole spirit of the program was one of happioess and cheer, of Christmas tide of fruits and nuts and chickens and ducks and turkeys. and hunting and hikes, of leisure and nothing to d(). Whee-eee-ee-c. click. We let us lis teniers sleep until ten or elevon, or twelve o'clock, and have dates every night and gave them a jolly good time. Such was the substance of our last program. Our program this week is of an en tirely different nattire. Instead of peace and happiness we give youi)i worry and trouble and ineasiness; for the time has come to STUDY. And so) tonight, instead of the date of last week, we serve five problems in math-two hours of study and probably yilu will have worked one-and also some reviewing you must do for exams. Next c'mes three hours of note-book work in Geo logy; amid then that note-book in F,ng lish a-nd some work that has just got to be done on a term paper. Then there is History, and French, and all those other studies to be prepared. A nd er ams only two) keeks anway!

ABNEY LIBRARY NOW OPEN lo January, 1923 the Universiity was the recipient of a splendid benefaction in the gift by Col. John R. Abney of the library of his brother, the late Ben jaillin Lindsay Ahney. With the return from the holidays this library has been thrown open to the stidelents and the goneral public. Mr. Kennedy and his assistants, from the main library have been busily at work oin the arranlgvlment of the books in this gift for the last six months. Just be fore Christmas they completed their task. Their work has not been poorly sieit. The hooks are ini cases that line the walls of the old Moot Court Room, with desks inl the central portion of the 1lmir. In all the library contains twelve thousands vo(Ilumel(.s oi law. hist'ry. me' icine and literary subjects. At first it was planned to have a puh lie opening, but this plan has been given Mr. L. E. Purdy ad Mr. W. C. Johnson, two law sti(lents. are the li brarians. 'lhe library is opened from 9:30 to 12:00 on Mondav. Wednesday ad Friday mornings, and from 10:00 to 1:00 on the other three mornings of the week. All afternoons it is ope,ned from 3:00 to 5:30, and from 8:00 to 10:00 every night in the week except Saturday wlien it is not open. At this date no irrangement has been made for keep IEIM SHOE: :1 of a pair of i hoes goes on, j a mellowing in They grow old| a man so has are of himself. eim Chester xaugh & Co. urnn anI ing the library opened on Sundays. The rules that apply to the main Law Library are to apply to the Almey Li brary. No books are to go at any times, except to faculty members. All professors may secure books by signing with the librarian. The students and public have access during the hours that the library is op ened. They may make use of any vol ume in the collection, but are prohib ited from taking the volume out of the room. The law books are to be found on the west side .of the room, totaling nearly six thousand. The castern half is given over to the remaining six thousand, which cover medical, historical and liter ary subjects. The librarians have announced that order and quiet must be observed by all making use of the library. - U.S.C. Fables by Folk It is with a great amount of interest that we read the first volume of Mr. Edwin Folk's works, a collection of two fables. These fables are exceedingly well done and very pointed; the sub jects are timely and the deep philoso phical manner in which they are treated brings forth universal admiration. It is a pity that the author, at present. does not see fit to present the volume to the public. He has written it for his own pleasure but the students of the University should not be cheated out of such rare gems as these. It is hoped that the author can be persuaded ,o publish this volume. Mr. Edwin Folk is the senior mem ber of the Folk trio and is working(?) for his Master's degree at the Univer sity this year. He was graduated from the University of South Carolina in the year 1922. The following year he taught in Brunswick. Ga.. and it is re ported that he was very successful. He is known oil the campus as the pal of Mr. George Collier. of Plum Branch. and as being given very nuich to talk ing. Many other students at the Ulni versity are afflicted with this same mal adv. Recently Mr. Folk has made himself famous by his ilethod of handling comn mittees. As chairman of a committee of the Clariosophic Literary Society he has made quite a "hit." Tie introduces the other members of his committee aind lets each c-ne have the opportunity to talk. It is a very interesting proceed ure as the chairman always has tile last word. Also his name is oil every lip on ac count of a speech which he delivered to tile students oil Wednesday morning. Extracts from his speech may be found elsewhere in this paper. Mr. Folk is a native of Edgefield. --U.S.C. "Fashion Row" "Fashion Row." described as the most sumptious and entertaining of I ae Murray's pictures, will come to the Im perial theatre iext week.

On the way up this instrument afforded amusement for the passengers on the train and there were many looks of disappointment on their faces when the Carolina boys stepped off the train at Lockhart Junc tioln. In Lockhart Mr. Hankins was equally successful with his concerts. Whenever he "let loose" all the boys, and girls, would stop whatever they were doing and gather around him. At the weenie roast he quictcd the mob when it was discovered that all the hot dogs were gone. If lie had not beei present with his soothing music there is no account ing what may have happened. It is thought that when Mr. Claude Chewning passed thru the gates of the University last spring he cast his man tle on Mr. Hankins, and Mr. ianki.ns is carrying on under the guidance of the spirit of Mr. Chewning. - U.S.C. Our Idea By Dick and Jake If you must kiss her, kiss her on the nape of the ieck. That's the idea cer tain doctors and scientists have set forth. But we don't agree with them. If they practice what they preach, we have no idea of following suit. For after tryiog the fifty seven varieties of kisses, we think that to go way round to the back of her ieck is merely a waste of time. And we don't waste time when we're with "the skin you love to touch" kind! No, Alphonse, we are not the sort to be stopped by a little war paint. In fact, now that lipsticks come in flavors, life has taken on a new i.nterest. You never can tell beforehand what flavor yoti are going to get. Even the peaches use the lemon flavor occas-1 ioially. Personally, we prefer apricot. The girls who use razzberry flavor will measure lip to Prof. Abram's definition of a pal-they're good sports, unshock able and the stopping place is infinity. But when you meet up with a black berry blonde-well, we'll leave it to your imagination, but believe you us. she wont. Anyhow, we'll let the scien tists (10 the worrying. We'll do the kissing and use the place God made for it, too. - U.S.C. Dormitories Without Water On Sunday and lionday one could see students walking to and fro on the campus dressed not in their usual at tire, but inl bath robes and armed with towels, shaving apparatus, soap and (the similar instrtments. At other times the students rooming in the steam heated dormitories would be disturbed by students asking to be permitted to use their wash stands. Other unusual happoings were the results of the cold wave which struck the couitry' Satur day and Suniiday.

A water pipe in Flinn Hall burst and that building has been without water for the whole week. -U.S.C. To the astonishment of several fellows registered in the campus course Steve Prevost was seen to pass Prof. Abrams the other day without speaking. Prof. Abrams looked at Steve implori.ngly with tears in his eyes but to no avail. Steve was through with his old friend. The actions of these foi mer cronies was a cause of such conjecture and many ex pressed sorrow to th lik that all was over between them "Whe.- rriondship ceases". After much diligent work on the part of ye reporter the reason for the breach was brought to light. It appears that Mr. Prevost is justified because Prof. Abrams flunked Miss Elizabeth Bostick on her Chemistry Notebook. -U.S.C. It leaked out that at a society meet ing lately that the query for the extem poraneous debate was Resolved, "That it is more dangerous for a fly to light on Mr. R. G. Bell's head than on fly paper." The af firnative side was winning their argument c(vnclusively when a voice from the back of the hall said. "If a fly can walk on a piece of glass held perpendi cularly, I don't see why it can't walk on polished ivory." Needless to say, the negative won. ----U.S.C. ECONOMIC FORUM RECEP TION On Monday evening, January 21, the Student Fconomic Forum of the Uni versity will give a social in honor of the incoming officers, the affair will be held in the Economics class room over the Chapel. after a short program fol lowing the installation of oflicers, the meeting will be turned into an informal reception. All upperclassmen who are students in one or more economics class, as well as all upperclassmen meni hers of the School of Commerce are in vited to attend. T.S .C . Speaking of co-eds having the chapel markers vaniped but this one certainly cast the deciding oplinicn, and leaves no doubt about the matter. Tuesday a certain co-ed came rushing in while Mr. Van Meter was in the nidst of his reading of the scriptures. The checker of seats was slowly mak ing his way to the last row when the lady whispered the number of her seat that he must pass over and as quickly as she had come disappeared out of the chapel. The writer is willing to as sert that many of the boys wish that they could get away in such easy style. -U.S.C. Two more weeks before the exams. begi,n.
