Qne upon a time, on one of the inner Wilets of the star Antares, there was a smutiful city called Phos. In this city, among other institutions, was a' great university, to which youths and maidens by- the thousands came to quench their thirst 'for truth. There were a number of very strange things .cc4mected with this university Perhaps the strangest was the fact that the students actually held to the purpose iof giving themselves the most complete development, mental, spiritual and phy sial, which was possible. Almost as strange as this was the faculty. For this body was composed of men who not only held all the keys to their own spe cialties but had such a board world view of life and such brilliant imagina tions that they were able to and did transmute leaden knowledge into the gol den food for a great passion. The dul lest and driest flakes of fact were made to blaze like fire sparks dropped into oxygen. The conception of spirit which the stu dents knew is rather uncouth to us. To them the organized rah I rah I sis boom bah I would have seemed a waste of energy and meamingless into the bargain. Not that they had no athletics. On the contrary, they had scores of different kinds of out-door sports demanding strength and sldill. Altho physical prowess was much admired, the congre gating of crowds to see a game was un heard of. Why? Because everyone who had the time was playing something himself. The real moving spirit was the active desire to make their University excel all others in the number of gradua tes of a higher order of humanity. Not only were contests conducted in athle tics, debating and oratory, but aqual stress was laid on the fine arts of music, literature, painting, sculpture, archi tecture, dancing and, strangest of all, conversational grace and vigor. There is one final touch that I must not forget, that is the institution of cha pel in the University of Phos. In the first place were never any long lists of announcements nor any speechifying of any kind whatever. However, the bul letin boards were always handy for no tices and public lectures on a great variety of subjects were held in an au ditorium every week. It need hardly be mentioned that there was no excuse for holding anything like a "pepo" meeting in the chapel. Each morning after sunrise and each evening after sunset services were held in the chapel. These services were simple, but beautiful and they were purely religious. I might note that on the altar were three symbols standing for the three mystical elements of life, Love, Light and Worship. Attendance of course, was not compulsory but, never thdess people went to chapel at least once a day. Wasn't that querr? But all this happened at Phos. - U.S.C. AINT IT GRAND When I met her at the dance, and she said she hadn't caught my name, and I said, "Its Stone," she didn't say, "Oh, what a hard name!I" And when I asked if she knew Sam Smith at Carolina, she didn't say, Sure, I sleep in the same 'Lit' class wvith him." And when I remarked that it was hard to tell the Rollins twins apart, she didn't say, "That's easy, Harry al ways blushes wvhen lie sees me." And when I happened to say I liked Kipling, she didd't say ,"Oh, is that what you call it?" So we went, out in the moonlight and I tried the supreme test. "What would you do if I kissed you?" I whispered. She didn't say she'd call father or mother, or even, "I don't know; I haven't read the latest Col lege Comics." She just dropped her eyes and tilted up her face a little and I did. And she's going to the next hop. Ain't it grand to know a girl who doesn't take the college magazines to heart. ---u.s.c. At student body meeting held Tutes day morning, Mr. W. A. McSwain, Jr., declined the nomination of the student body sending him up as one of a group of three men from whom the manager of the baseball team will be selected by die Advisory Board. Mr. McSwain stated' in his declination that his other duties compelled his to refuse the honor. Mr. Blake Edmunds was nominated to replace Mr. McSwain. The student body also rciinated Messr s. Jumbo Grambling, Al Goodwin, and Robert Shand were nominated and sent up to the Board which will select one of them as the 1925 manager of the football team. ORPHAN BAND VISITS THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS The Campus was visited Monday afternoon by a band from the Children's Home in Des Moines, Washington. A short concert given out on the green attracted quite a number of stu dents. H. M. Draper, superintendent of the Home, told the story of its organiza tion, and of the trip which they were making over the United States. He said that years ago he and his wife began to take homeless children into their home, and this children's home, which is self-sustaining, is the outgrowth. He said that he believed in education by travel, and that the children were tour ing the United States in several cars. The band was composed almost entire ly of boys and girls under the age of fourteen, and their selections seemed to have been enjoyed by all of the stu dents. --U.s.C. WEARING DERBIES AT FLA. A special appeal is being made to all members of the Senior class by its president, John Henry Logan, to the effect that all fourth year men wear their derby hat on Thanksgiving Day. A petition has been circulated with grat ifying results and it is more than prob able that derbies and canes characteristic of the traditions of Seniors will be in evidence next Thursday. In order to put this plan into effect, however, the co-operation of all fourth year men is necessary and those who have not already done so are especially urgedl to purchase these symbols of dig nity at the earliest possible opportunity.
