GOSSIP CONDEMNED AT REGULAR Y.W; MEETING Two Members Leave Next Month -Refreshments Served at Close of Program "There are two kinds of gossip", said Thelma Lockman, at the Y. W. C. A. Vesper service Thursday night. "In the commandment, 'Thou shalt not gossip', it means both kinds because helpful talk sometimes does a great amount of harm to the one being talked about. Other members of the organization talked on the different reasons why gos siping was only a waste of time, first, because of the inevitable loss of friend ship, and secondly, because a gossip is never contented at heart. Misses Phil lips, Garner, Johnston, Craddock and Harmon took part in this discussion. Miss Lillian Barrowv, for three years a member of the cabinet and this year president of the association, and Miss Rosa Heyward, also a member of the cabinet, were presented with gifts by the girls. Both Miss Heyward and Miss B3arrdw finish at the end of this semes ter and widl go to Philadelphia the last of February to start studying medicine. Miss Agnes Carson, vice-president of the association, will act as president until the elections next semester. Refreshments, in the form of a salad course, were served after the business meeting. FElizabeth Lindsay, chairman of the social committee, Eleanora Beas Iey, Harriette Baker and Mary Carter Blarnwell, had charge of the refresh. ments. - u.s.c. - LARGE NUMBER ENJOY LAST DANCE OF TERM The Social Cabinet dance last Satur day night in the gym was well-attended by the students. The Gamecock orches tra was out in costume and added much to the gaiety of the scene. Lights have been put in the drums and Hutto's huge bass horn looks like a thing of fire with the red electric light bullb concealed in the bell. This was the last to be given during the present semester, but it is reported1 that a dance wilt be given every other Saturday night dturing te next emester ;T TO STATE YJ FACULTY TEAS MAKE EARLY DINGLING EASY The regular Thursday afternoon tea was served in Flinn Hall Thursday af ternoon by the ladies of the University Auxiliary. The committee was compos ed of Mrs Rucker, Mrs Wardlaw, Mrs Lipscomb, and Miss Dillard. Quite a number of the faculty and students dropped in for a few moments chat. An added attraction, if it may be called by that name, was the very en joyable music that enliveiaed the occasion. There are only a few more of these teas to be given this year and every student is extended a cordial invitation to attend these and get better acquainted with the faculty (more so since the mid year exams are almost upon us). -U.s.c. DR. SIKES DECRIES OVERPRIVILEGED CHILD OF TODA Y SPEAKS TO "Y" SUNDAY Says "Good People Tire Quickly -We Do Too Much and Are Too Little "We talk a great deal about the under privilege child, but the over-privileged child is a greater menace, in my opinion," said Dr. E. W. Sikes, president of Clem son College, in a taik in the University chapel Sunday night. "Take The Leopold and Loeb case. Here were two young men whose fathers had amassed vast fortunes so their sons would not have to work.. Look at the result." Dr. Sikes is about medium height, al most completely bald, and not an im pressive speaker. He makes no speech; he talks. He has a good humored twink le in his eye, as he gesticulates in a Semetic fashion with his hands. He spoke of the necessity of everyone's bearing his own burden, and told a hu morous incident about how he made a speech on "everyone shall bear his own burden", thinking he was quoting the Bible, and after making the speech, found that it read, "Bear ye one another's burdens." "Everyone is like a soldier and must carry his own knapsack-and another's too. Remember this. If you ever get married, don't get separated from your wife's traveling bag. I speak from ex perience. "Statistics show that within three years all money received by insurance is squandered. Did the Lord say 'You must make your bread by the sweat of your brow' as a punishment? It is generally construed thus, but I doubt it. "Governor McLeod said in his speech the other day that he advocated the abolition of free schoiarships because they were not appreciated. At the age that we are, we do not appreciate any thing. When I was a boy I did not ap preciate the cheapness of eggs and the abundance of milk, but now, when I have to pay five cents apiece for eggs,j I appreciate them. "We are judged by the product wve turn out. In the old days, a bootmaker made a whole shoe, and that shoe wvas the index of his character. That is not so now. I remember when I bought my First Ford. I had to take it to the garage every other day. I wvondered wvhether Mr. Ford had any character at all. 'When I got a new one that ran better, Mr. Ford's character weugt up in my estimation. "Some p)eop)le complain about Congress, the Senate, and even our legislature. The trouble with the good people is that they take no interest in inducing the good men to run for legislature. When Tammany Hall is defeated by the 'good' people, she just sits back and waits for four years. She knows the 'good' people will get tired. The 'good' people are not willing to bear their burden. "Trhis is an age of organization. A man may do too much, and be too little. The measure of Christianity is how it gets into a man's nature. "I know a Greek professor who ,s always talking of the beauty of Greek cu,ture, but he possesses none himself. I would have my son taught by a man who not only knows but practices virtue. "The heavy burden a ship carries helps it to ridle the storm waves. Many burdens are lightened by the spirit in which they are borne. Jesus bore burdens, but love lightened them. "When we carry burdens they are not V.C.A. COUNCIL CHAS. CUTTINO TOSTMASTER - DANDY BARBER GRAHAM IS SHORT WINDED "Pill" Brice's Speech Enjoyed Because of Brevity-"Thank You" Applauded More I "Say, wasn't that a swell feed?" "Yes, and didn't those co-eds look good? Boy I enjoyed that part just as nuch as the eats. And Charlie Cuttino is toastmaster, why he ought to be in i barber shop. "But did you see the expression on Hamp Graham's- face when somebody tooked the notes he was speaking from. [ was sitting near to him while he was :rying to talk and his knees sounded like i drum beating double time". "Pshaw, his speech didn't have any hing on the one Pill Brice made. I'd nuch rather heard a fellow get up, say thank you and sit down, than try to re :ite poetry." The above are some of the extracts from a conversation that was overheard )y ye scribe the day after the Y Banquet There were approximately 275 persons present and every one enjoyed the feed if we may judge by the smiles of satis faction that covered their faces as they vent out. The banquet was served by the ladies f the Univresity auxiliary assisted by a )evy of co-eds. The tables were appro piately decorated with candles which dhed a soft glow over the gym. Short speeches were made by several Af the men expressing their apprecia ion for the banquet. The banquet closed with fifteen big rahs for the ladies and "We Hail Thee Carolina". This was the largest and best attend 3d Bible Class Banquet in the history of Carolina. Judging from the comments ieard on the campus next year will he ven larger as those who missed out this year have determined to be there next year as they are sure that the3 nissed a good time. - U.S.C. - WOFFORD, FURMAN AND CITADEL TALK SUNDAY Visiting Y.M.C.A.
