Eaorb 1sReirrknfielb'0 Eeiitter to INii &ou My dear soi: Have you been seriously attending to those matters of personal conduct that become a gentleman? While I always have tried to do my best by you, I fear that I have forgotten several items of the gravest importance. For example, when you are in conver sation with acquaintances, especially with new ones, always disagree with every thing said. Be sure to show your sup eriorty in all things pertaining to world ly knowledge and belittle that of every one else. In case your senior makes an error, be sure to call attention to the fact and critisize him roundly for it. If anyone iispronounces or misuses a word invariably correct him, especially if there are several people around to hear you. Never talk in a low restrain ed tone of voice, but speak lou.d enough for everyone in the room to hear. Drown out other people's voices if you can't drown their ideas. Acquire a goodly store of resk'e a4ec dotes to tell on special occasions, and by no means let slip any opportunity to shock people. At every chance that presents itself talk to younger boys about sex and drinking. Thus you will become very widely known and your way to success will be paved with ease. When a gentleman is explaining some thing of impoitance to you, be complete ly relaxed. Let your eyes wander aroun(l the room and your thot-ghts anywhere you please. Vhen he has finished, tell him you don't quite under stand and please to repeat. Some good topics for elegant conver sation are: your distinguished ancestry, your pet troubles and worries. your opera tion for appendicitis, the number of feminine hearts you have smashed, your winnings in football and poker, the amotnt if hoot-leg you can hold, et cetera.. Yu will fin( all these matters worth c nsiidering. A ffectionately, Father. FRESHMAN COUNCIL ELECTS OFFICERS Harold Hope of Lockhart Chosen President of Body at Univer sity of South Carolina.

CO-ED BIRTHDAY CLUB GIVES HALLOWEEN PARTY FUN AND FROLIC GALORE Girls Dressed in Halloween Re galia Present Guests With Caps and Souvenirs. Spooks, fvm and frolic were the out standing features of the Hallow'cen par ty given by the Co-ed Birthday Club Thursday night, at Melton Hall. The guests were met at the door by a ghost whose hand-shake was uncanny. Misses Lillie Baker and Ellen Hough, dressed in Hallow'cen regalia, presented the guests with attractive orange and black caps and souvenirs, containing a mtmber and a fortune. There were num bers for both boys and girls, and those numbers corresponding were partners for a written contest. Prizes were given. There were other games and contests. Perhaps a few stolen kisses resulted from the biting of the same apple by partners. The chewing of a string to a marshmallow-by two caused much mer riment. The colors orange and black prevail ed in the three rooms, while the fortune teller's room was of a gaudy gypsy scheme. Miss Maude Ellis predicted grand and great futures for all. There were about seventy students to enjoy the frolic. -U.s.c.

Wednesday night while the essence of soup przzled the occupants of "Angel Roost" about eight of the "Angel Roos ters" indulged in a "soup feast" at "Wel-Come Inn." It was a (quiet af fair, and only the noise of the soup dIrinkers disturhed the peace. -U.s.c. I)own in Georgia they say that a negro is naturally Republican. but two dollars is a lot of money, and B. V. D. means, "Better Vote D)emocrat."--Davidsonian. "The reason I didn't graduate last Junie, father" exp)lained the prodigal son "Was because I thought the price of sheepskin would go down." Why has it never occurred to the Freshman associate editor that he shall some day know as little about editing a paper as the senior editor-in-chief ? I startedl to buy a four-bit handker chief for use during these hot days, but (ecided that it was too much to blow I have alwvays wvanted to publish the story about the crude oil, but it isn't refmted. Trhis wveek's short story: "He Let Go Thue Steering Wheel." Also I'd like to pull that one about the mouse trap, but it's too snappy to tell. "I dlon't see anything fully in that," saidl the lady as she looked into the coffmn. Sometimes it is not wise for we edit ors to tell everything that we know, but occasionally we can't help it if, we print anything at all. Editorial. Don't argue with a wasp. It always carries its point. Smile if it kills you, and you will die with a grin on your face. "Smoke Stack" -- Athes I.rUgh eSh. Our Giddy Contemporaries.
