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.

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

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).

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

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.
