Hope none of the "clowns" have a serious fall. * * * * * The "Rain" has passed on without any serious "washouts" to the character of Carolina men. * * * * * We are momentarily expecting a ban from the authorities on Carolina men taking. in the "Pass ing Show" as detrimental to their state of mind. * * * * * If "Rain" was scaidalous in the minds of the eminent Columbians-well what name will they give the "Yaller sheet ?" -- U.s.c. A ction Please! Two weeks ago the Student ljody of the Uni versity at a regular meeting appointed a commit tee to look into the possibility of securing a post office sub-station for Carolina. Up to (late we have not heard of any\, progress this committee has made other than drawing up a resolution that we should have such a sub-station. Of course we should! We are all agreed on that. But what we want NOW is some action. there are only a few more months of this scholas tic year on the calendar now and this program M UST be carriedl throngh before the end of this season or there is danger that it will fall through duiring v'acation. If this comilttee takes action at once t he wheels muaay he put into motion and by the time the University opens next fall all the dletails w ill have been attendled to and we will have a regular p)ostal service from the first day. What is the Student Body going to (do about this Are they going' to let their committee fall down on them or are they going to have im miediat e ac tion ? TrH E G AM ECOCK is in favor of seeing this p)roposal l)ut through at once andl if drastic action must be taken-take it. Even to the point of reprimlandling the committee that naw standls. Your Brother's Keeper Something has recently occurredl that is a (di grace to the student body and to the University. Some research work was assigned in one class. that necessitated the use t>f the encyclopaedia itn the library. One of the students, insteadl of read ing the artzle in the library and taking notes on it, ruthlessly tore the sheet fronm the boo0k, so that the rest of the class were deprived of this reference and could not prepare their wvork. Be sides being grossly selfish, this act was in vio lation of the honor principle and the one who comn mitted it is no better than the person who cheats on examination. It was also the willful destruc tion of state property and shon!d be punished as such. We think that the person who would do such a thing is not fit to remain a student at,.the Uniiversity of South Carolina. However, we feel stare that the student b)ody, as a whole, considers an act of this kind with dis taste, we might almost say, with abhorrence, and the person who commits it in a like manner. Just the same, as hlways, the innocent must suffer with the guilty unless a public sentiment is created so strong as to make such occurrences impossible. The problem resolves itself into the age-old ques tion, "An I my. brother's keeper?" Yes, loyal Carolinians, you are your brother's keeper, when that brother is committing acts that will bring dis grace and shame on your Alma Mater! None f us live to ourselves, and as long as this is true, we cannot evade the responsibility that a social existence imposes upon us. *Remember that when you see a fellow student cheating, taking books from the library without permission, or defacing or destroying some one else's property. And re member also, that it is your duty-to yourself, to that person, and to your fellow-students-to cor rect, warn, lecture, report, or use anything or other methods that will bring that person to a true perspective and realization of the dishonora ble nature of the act and the consequences involv ed. Up in the Air At practically every college ,. university in the country there are some boys who are not born "with a silver spoon in their mouths." These boys realize and know the value of a college education probably better than any one else. They have to work and work hard for their "dip. " Some of them work -n the school dining rooms, some as student professors, some out in town and various other places. In every wa(k of life there has to be something or someone that is the "lost word" in each par ticular line of business. Probably the latest in this line is Charles T. Wrightson who flew to the Oregon Agricultural College, where he is candidate for a degree, from Fresno, California. Wright soui, who is registered as a freshman, is a commer cial flier and has conceived the novel idea of bring ing his plane to school with him and taking up student passengers during his spare time to pay his college expenses, -U.S.C.

I watched the couples as they passed like phantoms in the darkness. Then I saw her, dancing with some wretched novice who could scarcely keep on his feet. How lovely and how wretched she looked. "Kathleen !" I exclaimed, half aloud, and ad vanced. "May I break?" I asked, and took her into my arms. Her dancing-gee, how can I describe it? She moved like some spirit-sure-footed languorous, as a light summer cloud. ,Drawing her to me, I suited my steps to the slow, yearning melody of the waltz. As we glided in the semi-darkness, oblivious of the passing cou ples she pressed her glowing cheek to mine and breathed quickly. "Sweetheart, why cannot I hold you like this forever? I feel that you arc a part of my very soul I" "Hold me-oh, hold me tight I" "I have lived always for this moment. Dear est, you are the only girl in the whole world you ARE the whole world" And there our eyes closed in ecstacy, I kiss ed her. "I love you! The universe w made for the rapture of this moment. The stars have shone in vain for ages that they might light your eyes now! All time has been but a prelude to this sound I Say you love me ! Just say it. "Oh Billy, you know I dol" "Why, Kathleen, this isn't Ballyl' I cried. "And this isn't Kathleen," replied the stran ger. A Fool There Was Jack was really very fosd of girls, being young and unmarried; but he was unalterably, like the most of us, opposed to the use of makeup, and was apt to be rather busque about it-which was a pity. He met her at a dinner party. She was alarmingly pretty; dainty, enticing with tender eyes, and golden hair which reflected a fautasy of shining lights. He was more than pleased that it was his good fortune to draw her as his dinner partner; she caused a certain warmth about his heart. Suddenly lie happened to think that her lips were v,ery red, perhaps a little too red. Could it be ............? He leaned close and whispered, assuming a half-boutering tone: "Do you paint ?" She looked surprised and blushed. Finally she replied: "Yes; how did you guess?" Jack turned away disappointed and dissillu sioned, all his hopes bursting as bubbles. When lie read of her marriage to another man two years later, lie learned for the first time that she was quite noted for he water-color candesapes. -- U.s.c. -- INTIMATE GLIMPSES -of CAROLINA HISTORY Bad Times Pass Following the wvar the negroes came into p)os session of the University of South Carolinia in October, 1873, and held on until they were turned out by' the return of the whites to powver tunder Hamiptoni. Their final exercises took place in June, 18'7. The studlents of these four years had all been negroes wvithi the exception of;ji few wvhiites of extraneous origin. The p)rofessors were wvhite mien who had come to the South; only one, Rich ard TI. Greemier was a negro. Froni 1877 to 1880 the institution was closed; Professor R. W. Barnwell was in charge of the butildlings. In the fall of the latter year the "South Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanics" was opened in the old buildings with a faculty of four, one being Dr. W. B. Burney. William Por cher Miles was presidenit. A three year course wvas offered, the first year of which was purely acad(emiic. lBut the alumni of the old college press ed for the re-establishment of South Carolina and in 1882 the old1 name was restored; the faculty was enlarged; new life was imported to the strug gling college. One of the professors of the new college, John M. McBryde, who held the chair of Agriculture andl Horticultumre, was as alumnus of the ante Ibellum institution. By a happy choice he was se.. lected for the presidency to succeed Mr. Miles who displayedl a remarkable executive ability that nade his administration, extending to 1891, one >f the niost interesting epochs in the history of he institution. To this period belong many of the alumni who have made themselves felt in the state and1 the nation. The law school was started; turd, and miineralogy' were added, preparationis were made to establish an ~~..r.m.t sat..
