POOR OJLIVIA
Shme got off the car backward,
4nd she was no Lilliputian ;
She missed the step and fell,
Anmd injured her constitution.
-I. F. S., in Two Bell,
She slipped and fell on the Pavement:;
The sight was very shocking-.. .
A gust of wind toyed with her there
And sho'wed her new silk stockings
A peach came walking down the street,
She was more than passing fair;
A smile, a nod, a half-closed eye,
And the peach became a pair

There was a young fellow named Straus
WIho got on a terrible sauss,
Hle had the right key
In the keyhole, you see,
Rut the key hole was in the wrong house.

THE "ROOST"
It might be supposed from the title
above that this article might deal with
the seating arrangement of the foot
ball games. However, the " section"
refers to that portion of the Columbia
theater which is so graciously attended
by the sons and daughters of Carolina.
Even in the palmy days of the theater
when one might enjoy an evening of
first class vaudeville, those university
siiudents who could not shake up the nec
essary shekels to purchase a seat with
the aristocratics in the orchestra or the
bourgeous in the first balcony, managed
to borrow, or, otherwise obtain posses
sion of the coin. And evening after
evening the roost wotild welcome to its
midst a few, at least of the men who
sought wisdom not only in the classroom
but again at the shine of "pot and paint."
When the theatrical season in Colum
bia begins in earnest the thin ranks of
the gallery gods is swelled to such pro
portions that at times it threatens to
overflow its quarters. A "leg show"
(if I may be pardoned for the use of
the term) of even mediocre talent will
aattract quite a gathering, while one of
some name will pack the "section." At
such times the fair element of the uni
versity is no less represented among the
galleryites.
In those few minutes before the doors
are opened the usual line begins to spring
lip; and the rush is made as fast as
the mighty officers of the law will per
mit. Once in, and choice seats reserv
ed, the more fortunate ones absent them
selves for a few moments in order to
purchase edibles. According to the
choice of the "roost" the seats may not
he taken when the owner goes down
to the corner fruit stand. Such is the
code--and it is kept.
But strange as it may seem these youths
aind maidens seek after more than sights
that satisfy the eye alone. At times
the board is graced by a legitimate bit
of drana or musical operetta. Do the
gallery seats renaii vacant when the
prices for the second balcony are raised
and no chorus on the bill?
They do--not! Five minutes after
lie portals have swung open. practically
every seat on the third floor is gob
hied up. The elite rub elbows as they
trip up the two flights of stairs, and,
(though this cannot be given out as of
ficial) right among the rushers were
several dignified profs. But in order to
get a seat these "amateurs" have to come
early for the "regulars" from the cam
pus park with the dr-sk, and in no un
certain numbers. Quite often the in
telligence is relatively better represent
ed in the 'sect,ion next to heaven" than
in the choicer seats below. For those
who sit good seat Imay come to be Seen
while above everyone conies to hear and
see. A fter all, though the conclusion
seems far pitched, the aggregation in
th(e gallery whether there to see a pocket
edition of the "follies" or to hear
Madame Shuman Heink (and they
were preseeit) are a sign that matters
are not so worse with university stu
(dints.
