literary Societies Meet In Joint Session MANY MATTERS DISCUSSED Favor the Adoption of a Written Constitution for the Student Body-President Prom ises Action. At a joint meeting of the Euphra dian and Clariosophic Societies Tues day night many matters of import ance were discussed. Jack Douglas, prEsident of the Euphradian Society, was asked to preside by President Cob. The first thing to come before the joint meeting was relative to the Carolinian medal for the student essay. This was won last year by Isadore Polier, but never has becn awarded. A committee was appointed to investigate further and report back at a later neting. Furnian Gressette called to the at tention of the assembly the move on the campus for another society. R. M. Smith spoke against such a move. Thomas moved that the joint assem bly go on record as being opposed to another literary society and that, a resolution to this affect be pre sented to the faculty. Collier and Black pleaded to let the matter stand as at present. On a motion by Earl Black the motion was tabled, to be discussed at a future me,'ting. Gn the suggestion of Ralph Ramsey a committee was appointed to look into the matter of medals for the icmbrLIs of the annual staff. Bass asked fcr sonic action relative to the inter-society declamation freshmen contest. It sceied that the design for this medal had been lost. A motion was passed to have a new design made and have it presented to the jeweler. At this point of the meeting some thing was said conctrning the elec tion of the Garnet& Black staff. Giessette criticised the present sys tci and said thetinie was here for reform. It was decided that this was a matter ior the student body to iandle. 'I'hoimlas Imloved that the joint a-i1 i 1bly g7o oi r- cord as favoring tlh adoption of a written constitution by the student body. Harris and lilack made pleas for action on this matter. Fraim amended the motion to appoint a coniiiittet to investigate the campus political scandal. After a flow of more oratory the iotion was passed. President Smith, of the student body, promised to have a called inceting toiorrow morning to look into this matter. After di isposing of seve-al i matters of minori iportaice the joint imeEting was adjourned. . t .S. C.

MI6 COSTANZO CONDEMNS CAMPUS CHATTER. Definitely Denies Refamatory Rumors Costanzo Not a Member of Italian Navy-He Wears Regula tion Trousers. In a statement made public this morning, Mr. Joseph Costanzo, ele gant son of romantic Italy, flatly de nied that he belongs to the Italian navy. He said that insidious rumors have reached his attention that.the costuies in which he attends classes are the uniform of the Italian navy. "I am unable to see why such charges can be made against me," he oaid. "for altho I would be proud to serve under Italy's colors, that feeling of patriotism is in no wise responsible for the thirty inches of pants I wear al)out my ankles, which custom is actuated solely by my desire to keep a little ahead of the styles, and so I will do all in my power to run to earth these annoying defamations." -U.S.C. NUTS, FOUND BY THE CAMPUS SQUIRREL The other day as I was scurrying arotind Dr. Burney's yard trying to find sone nuts or goodies which sone of the boys had thrown away, two strange looki-ig men camte along. I had never ween anything like them before but I reckon they ntist have been "profes sirs," or some such animals, for that was what the boys called them.

I wa ssurprised aren't you? News certainly travels fast on the campis. Monday morning C. B. Wil liams asked a co-ed whom he hadn't seen since Friday, "How did you like the pageant at Shandon Baptist Church last night?" Now C. 1B. wasn't there, and I'd like to k.now just who told him. The other morning I was sitting in the library, presumably studying, and as it was rather (lark the lights were on. Presently Kershaw Walsh came in and the lights went out. Do you wonder? Regularly cmi Monday mornings Rey mond Gaston, Baskins, John Mont gonery and Freshman Gaston stroll Idown the campus about 8:00. Usually I Raymond strides along with head up shoulders back, as if he owned the world, then follow Baskins and Mont gomery, lastly Freshman Gaston with a huge bag of "Laundry" over his shoul der. Pretty soft for Raymond, etc., eh what ? Wednesday two of the co-eds having nothing else to do, decided to try their hands at "barn-yard golf". Presently each of them had a partner, and it was n't long before our amiable Purley Tompkins ambled over to referee. Sounds exciting, but it wasn't. - U.S.C.
