*ttle CO"d Wvrries i Self Pink A out Dad's.Letter LIKES TWO DATES A WEEK Prefers to Dingle Bachelotr Pro fessora--Can't Get One in English "I'm worried to death-got a letter from home to-day, and Dad was sure ranting about that report of mine gosh, I'm sure worried pink'" The expression of the little fresh man did not, portray uneasiness huw ever, she chewed her gum and smiled complacently. "What was your father worried - about? Didn't you pass all your work off. all right and didn't you study last term?" asked one of the older girls. "Good heavens, I haven't cracked a book since I came to this place, and furthermore don't intend to." "Why did you come to Carolina if you don't intend to study?" asked the older girl. "Oh, I was crazy to come to the University because one of the girls from home was up here aid she told mie about the good times you had, and all that. She said they let you have at least two dates a week, and let you go to dances. Father didn't want me to come because we have classes with boys, but I finally over came that. When boys are in the class girls just naturally study harder so they will not appear so dumb." "Did you pass all your work?" "Yes, all but that old English, and I couldn't get a dingle in that-all the rest of my subjects were pretty easy because I got good dingles with the teachers. The young unmarried men are the easiest to dingle." "But that is not what college is for -college is to fit us for life-to broad en our minds and make us better men and women. We should make the most of our opportunities at college." "Well, old bookworm, if you think college was made just for college go right ahead. I intend to have a good time as long as possible. Bet I'll have more pleasant memories of my college (lays than you will. Twenty years from now who's gonna know whether you can translate Greek and Latin or not? Believe me, they will know if you can talk cleverly or not and dance. Oh my, there goes that dratted bell-well so long, got to go and sleep through another one of those boring classes. Ain't it awful?" -USC Add . Appropriation To University Item House Bill Increased By Senate -University to Get $13,500 More An addition of $1;,500 was grantedl the University in the appropriation bill, over the recommendations of the House, by the Senate, yesterday. The adlditional Aoney went to the item of personal services. The House. in passing the approria tion, cut the item of personal services by $26,000. When the bill was turned over to the Senate committee they re placed $13,500 of the cut. The bill as amended by the committee was passedl yesterday. Personal services includes the salar ies of all employees of the University. Without the amount allowed by the Senate, Dr. Melton said yesterday, the University would have to borrow from the governor's contingency fund. There are now 1403 students in the Uiniversity. By next January, before which no further appropriations can be made, there will be a tleast an increase of 10 per cent in enrollment. The bill, as enacted, allows for the maintainance of the present plant of the school but makes no allowances for increasing the faculty and staff to care for an expanding student body. -USC Maurice Matteson, director of music left last week to attend his father's fun eral, at his home in Illinois.

At the time of his death he was an im portant official in the Postal's New York office. His death bring sorrow to many both on the campus and among the alumni. -USC March Sure Is a Lion Thinks Girls When Beds Crawl MAKES SHOPPING AWFUL Blows Window Open in "Dorm" and Is too Big to Close Back "March comes in like a lion", it lurks around the corner and springs upon the passing co-eds with swirling, swishing, wheeling, whipping gusts. It flares their skirts, it streams their scarves, and lays provoking fingers on small hats. Tuesday night it whirled itself into a blustering rage. It whistled in its wrath and threw sand into people', eyes like a spoiled child. Girls going to the library, drug store, or returning from a shopping orgy despaired of managing their rebellious silks and gave up to the wilful winds. Many claim to have progressed for blocks without expending any energy at all. Those who faced the blasts "squinched" their eyes, called down unheard of punishment on March, but through it all laughed joyfully. In the reception room of the dor mitory one of the large tramsoms opened with a bang! The chandeliers swutfg with the energy of circus trap eze. No ladder could be found and a long, stout pale was finally secured to prop it. A Rembert House girl claims that one hardy spurt of wind sent her bed sailing away across the sleeping-porch, and the girls in the attic refused to stay in their rooms. The moaning and rattling proved too much for the stout est of spirits. All in all, March is a bothersome month for a girl who takes pride in her "slick" appearance. But for a walk in sturdy knickers or a "back to childhood" race nothing is quite so exhilirating as a smart young, fresh young, cheeky young March wind. -USC "Your speedometer shows you have driven 25,000 miles. Been taking some long tours ?" "No, the 5,000 is the distance I have covered going back and forth to the office, and the other 20,000 is the di tance I have covered looking for park ing places."-Ex. third cabin EUROPE With college parties on famous"O" steamers of The Royal Mall Line Writ, for Illu.sated Booklet.

Win dows rattled, and the pictures of the dear ones were scattered ruthlessly about before the dazed students could rush to the window and close it. "The Chanticleer Special," regular means of transportation for the Game cock orchestra, while being steered for home by Skipper Stone, was caught by a severe draught at the intersect ion of College street and the Wood row boulevard, and before the sails could be trimmed and the faithful boat collected its bearings, was minus a top. Skipper Stone's heart is broken as he sadly views the wreckag< of the once-graceful machine, Dr. Burney's beautiful lawn also suffered a misfortune. ''he grand old china berry tree which for so long sheltered that side of the campus was rudely disturbed, and fell to the ground with a rending sound likened to the "Fall of the House of Usher." The fence was carried with it. Wednesday morning the wreckage was cleared away and sent to the place where all good trees go. Which reminds the writer, it's a good thing no one was under it when it fell.
