Was it my fault because I steppedl into a D)oorway to light a Cigarette, and because In that same doorway A. very pretty miss * Vas standing in a Quite becoming pose Removing a piece of Chewing gum which had Become engaged on one Of her r-ubber heels, and B3ecause she looked up .With a frown when she Saw me and then said, "Rubber I" (just like that) I assumed a haughty air And answered "So are mine." Was it my fault? - U.S.C. About 5000 matches are lighted every second in the United States, of which ENTER THE NEW SIJIE. . This time it's the "Alcove Shiek,"! discovered at the University of Southi Carolina. His favorite habitat is in the Library alcoves, and his advent at the University was sponsored by the openingi of the Co-ed dormitory. A wanderer happened in the Library recently to get up some history parallel. On entering fie was amazed at the num ber of boys present. Never before had ho seen so many at an early evening hour and all of them seemed intensely interested in books or magazines. The wanderer took it as a good sign, thereby by decived himself, for pretty soon he heard a cavalcade approaching, heralded by a bunch who were yelling, laughing, jollying- - The delegation from the woman's building had areived! The "students" scattered for the sheltering .nooks; the "delegation" broke ranks and followed suit; hum-drum ensued; the wanderer changed his mind about the boy's conscientious work and after a futile hours effort at concentration he left-minus his panallel, but satisfied because of his -new discovery. -U.S.c. CAROLINA IN PAGEANTRY We believe there are special reasons for depicting life at Carolina in pageant o- dramatic form at a reasonably early date. At best, the achievement could only be made after a period of months, but the enterprise would have its re wards. An exhibition of this character, preferably, should include only the vo gues and customs existent now. Natur ally, a representation of some period of our earlier history would be favorably received but not with the same under standing and relish that the present day campus doings, fairly portrayed, would elicit. The entertainment flowing from the proposed display could not fail to com pensate for the labor and time expended, bht a greater benefit would accrue. We need, as all institutions do, to hold the mirror of introduction before our eyes. h'lie virtue of seeing ourselves as "others see us" is worth the candle, not that the student body is deserving of penance but that the effect would be to build us a lit tle stronger in points that count. Such at, exhibition may sharpen our appre ciation for many virtues, and it may lead to the correction of this or that weakness in our scheme of college life. If. there be sufficient demand for the proposed display it will come. If this end is to be won, it simply means that each sttilent is to bring his or her in telligence to hear on the subject, with the result that a workable outline wvill co,mmence to develop, wvhich a little later may be vitalized andl embodied into a coherent whole, and for the further ad vancement of the wvomanhood and man hood on this campus. -U.S.c. Seniors-For You By way of suggestion, wvhy doesn't some class start something new by leav ing a gift to the Alma Mater on their graduation? If ever the precedent was established the succeed inzg classes would h'ave to follow suit and in a very short time there would be accumulated a large collection of really worth-while gifts. This is one matter in which Carolina i., very behind the other colleges in the country and it is a matter that cannot be attended to by our competent of fi cials. The students, and the students alone, can bring Carolina up to standard in this respect. What are YOU going to do about it? A loafer usually wishes he was doing something else. A bee wvrecked an auto in New Jersey the moral being: Little things count. John Pate-They elect a new circulation manager for the second term, don't they? Williams--No. lEtterarg larttes HYPATIAN We, the members of the Hypatian Literary Society, realizing the need of a sister society, do hereby resolve: 1.-That the steps taken in forming the Euphrosynean Literary Society meet with our hearty .approval. 2.-That we cordially wish for the Euphrosynean success in all their ef forts, and, 3.-That, as far as it is in our power, only the spirit of friendly revalry and competition shall exist between the two societies. Be it further resolved: That copies of these resolutions be sent to the Euphroynean Society, to "The Gamecock," and to 'The Carolinian" and .that a copy be entered in the Re corder's book of the Hypatian Society.
