FEATURES OF 0 TARHEEL EDITOR EXPOUNDS UPON CO-EDS SMOKING GIVES SOUTHERN ATTITUDE Wondert Why Women Waited for Paris to Set Vogue-Old Mountain Custom College women of the nation have ob tained equal rights in the news columns of the American newspapers. While the stronger sex maintains its place upon the sporting pages the fair ones claim front page spa.ce. The question of allowing women in coilege to smoke has become a good bit of news, even newsy enough to vie with the latest dope on Red Grange, the Wheaton flash. From the editorial column of the Tar Heel, tri-weekly gaper of the Unversity of North Carolina, comes this clipping No doubt the attitude of Bryn Mawr and Hunter women is interesting, but the North Carolinians bring the matter home in this article that applies equally well to the campus of both Carolinas. The editor of the Tar Heel writes under the heading Co-ed Smoking : Bryn Mawr has openly recognized that the students there smoke and set aside a smoking room for 'thei- convenience. The State Superintendent of Education for the State of North Carolina expresses his, opinion that the female colleges of the country will eventually do likewise. The University of North Carolina at present permits its s.tudents to smoke privately. Thq colleges for girls thruout the state declare emphatically that no smoking is1 allowed. Co-Eds Smoke Here Yes, some of the co-eds smoke here. And we doubt if there is a female in stitution in the s :ate where smoking does, not go on to a lmited degree. Smoking in polite circles in North Carolina and in the South generally, has not yet become established as proper for women. Only in such resorts where the barbarians from north of the Mason &nd Dixon line gather, is the custom recognized as being at all becoming as beng at all becoming to ladies. There was a day when old women isolated in the mountains and backwoods of this and neighboring states smoked their clay pipes and relished them. These beings were looked upon as being the most ignorant and unfortunate creatures im aginable. Then the habit took an enor mous jump. From the backwoods it [ went to Paris, and to London and then to New York. And now it is coming South, to the foothills of the very moun tains from whence it came. What is the Rush? Now conies up the provincial-cosmo politan question. There is a mad rush for the cosmopolitan, no matter what it is. or where it is. Paris seems to be he cosmopolit-an city eterna.. How pleasant it would be if the Govecrnor oif North Carolina and the Governor (of South Carolina could hold another one of their famous tea-table talks, in the approved fashion of G.B.S.-A.H. if necessary, and decide that Southern cuistoms and man ners are qluite all right and much to be preferred to those originating in foreign capitals and transported to us by way 3i Newv York. For instance if women must smoke, why didn't our Southern girls take the habit direct from the mountain eerses andl claim first honors for intro thucinmg the custom ? Instead, they have waitedl again until sonme Parisian wench has put another deal over on us. And the South, hal f a decadle late, takes up am l'abit that's almost worn out across the water. If co-edls here wvant to smoke, they will.

The question of compulsory chapel is one of current disc',ssion among American colleges and universities. Dur ing the present school year the perennial question has been put to a vote in many of the higher educational institutions. In some instances the students have voted for compulsory attendance at chapel. At other schools, assemblies once or twice a month with absolute attend ance requirements have been substituted. But in a great majority of cases chape; exercises have been placed upon th bases of voluntary action. One fact stands out : that many of the colleges and universities in the United States have allowed their students to settle a matter formerly arbitrarily laid lown by the administrators. A fter a week of undergraduate dis cussion. Yale College voted overwhelm ingly in favor of abolishing the compui sory feature of chapel. Two (lays of balloting resulted in a vote of 1681 for and 241 against. By a 3 to one majority the faculty also expressed their disap proval of the institution. Vote Representative The vote was a representative one. Nearly 2.000 out of 2,300 eligible under gtraduate voters expressed their opinions. So eager were they to vote that 33 men, the News reporters. nullified their action by voting twice. A petition is now being circulated by the Ia;c .Vcws. It reads as follows: "We the nndersigned undergraduates of Yale College and the Common Fresh ( Year. do hereby petition the faculty of Yale College and the faculty of the Common Freshman Year that the ele ment of compulsory attendance be re moved from Yale's religious services. We have reached this decision after a week devoted to open discussion and a two day referendum which tlave evidecne that the undergraduates are of this opin ion to the extent of 1681 for and 241 against. It is our earnest wish that the Faculty of the Common Freshman Year pursue the policy for whichi a desire is herein so c.early expressed" On the first day of its circulation the Yale undergraduate pe ition requesting the elimination of the compulsory fea ture of chapel exercises gathered 1321 signatures. Folowing the example of the Yale Xaws the 'enn State Collegian is con 'ucting a compulsory chapel campaign. Fer tile next -wo weeks stuldenlt, faculty anId alutmnIi op,inioii will be sounodedi On tile matter. Hothl sidles of the question wvill be p)resented inl Thei Colieqian. The Collegqian states thlat it wishes to settle the chlapel qulestion "on1ce and for all." If the majority of s uldents wish to con tinlue compu)tlsory chapel, a fter due con sideration of the question. The Colie gian promises thlere wilI be no0 more agitation. H-owever, if the students wvant it abolished, a petition to that effect wvill be' sen1t to the authlorities. 3 Company ity-Service " TO WEAR-FOR LND MEN Columbia S.C OWEN & PAUL MERCHANT TAILORS Repairing and Altering 1117 Washington St. - Phone 6963 - Columbia, S.
