C. - "EXACTLY AT MIDNIGHT" - MARCH 31-APRIL 1 NO. 22 COLUMBIA I PERMISSI CAROLI Students Loathe to Have Capital School But Mayor's Wisl Prevails-Universii "We realize that the University is an asset to Columbia; that the students advertise the city;.that as grows Caro lina so grows Columbia. Therefore we have paved your streets," said Mayor Coleman today. "Nothing that Colum bia can do is too good for the Univer sity of the state." It is with the greatest of pleasure that we now look upon our streets which the city of Columbia.have so gra ciously paved. The best of material and contractors were secured for this work. The funds of the city were put at the disposal of the authorities to carry on this project: Now we have the best paved streets and side walks of any campus in the South. The idea was entirely original with the city councilmen of their own free will they decided upon this beneficient scheme. When the plan was submitted to Dr. Melton he objected, declaring that it was a needless expenditure, the streets were not very muddy or dusty, and the students would gladly tolerate the slight inconvenience to 'save the city the money. However, the Mayor insisted, and Dr. Melton, much against his will, withdrew his objections. Upon the receipt of the news a stu dent body meeting was hastily called by President Mills. A resolution was passed thanking the city of Columbia for its unselfish offer, but declaring that there was no need of such work. The city authorities acknowledged the wisdom of the University objections, but decided to carry out their original plan as scheduled. Work was begun immediately. Now we see the result of the un selffish spirit of Columbia. We, the students of the University of South Carolina, duly appreciate the action of the city fathers and will sing praise abroad over the state. -USC-' It was told the other day that -Prof. Jackson had tried to illustrate the "The orem of Limits" by using "Lula" Price's mouth and chin.

The reason, was that during his "Freshman" year Willis got them sun burned looking at the top of the Palmetto building. AL NANTS ON. FROM NA TO PAVE City Spend So Much Money on to Show Liberal Policy .y Resents Attitude DEAN PRESENTS MEDALS DURING CHAPEL PERIOD ANNANIAS MEDAL GIVEN To A. T. Daniels After a Close Race-Hines Is Best Announcer Dean Baker in a recent meeting held in chapel presented the following medals and prizes: The most constant lover's medal was awarded to Mr. J. E. Dudley. The problem of choosing the most deserv ing competitor was one of grave diffi culties, according to the Dean. How ever, after consireding the many ar dent competitors it seems that the choice made is the most logical one. Mr. Dudley someone aptly remarked, "has the advantage over us because he has the most hearty cooperation. Honorable mention was given to the following: Mr. S. W. Burns, Jr. Red Smith, and J. A. Calligan. The annanias medal was presented to Mr. A. T. Daniels better known as "Wandering Willy from Nebraska." Mr. Daniels received the medal be cause of his vivid creative imagination, his wide experience in the state of "omghaw" and elsewhere, and because of his huge store of knowledge of science, theology, and other subjects of inestimable import. Joe Hines was unamimously acclaim ed the best announcer. The Shiek's Medal was awarded to Mr. Marvin Mitchum. This medal is four feet long and two feet wide. It was thus made as that the list of the names of the winners many flapper friends can be engraved up it. Com petition was so keen that honorable 'mentions were found impossoble. The prize for laziness after little debate was given to "Slim" Carson. Although the competitors were many "Slim" was given prize unanimous ly. Honorabe mention was given to Mr. B. S. Stewart and Robert Porter. The McNutt Medal for best all round athlete, "Skinny" Smith received with out a murmur of dissension from the judges. Cotter, McLaurin and Mar cus Collins were given honorable men tion. The Bluffer's Medal went to Mr. Marcus Collins. Upon this very valu (Continued to page eight). L .F0O4 S.O.S. Mr. R..G. Bell, gracious patron of the Y.M.C.A., wishes to insert an ad in the paper, but being a member of such a worthy thing as the knyhts of the Ping Pong table, The Yellow Sheet inserts the advertise ment free of charge. The trouble is that someone bor rowed Mr. Bell's dress coat and has never returned it, not that he ever has occasion to wear it, but it causes him much embarrassment when people come around and want to borrow it. If you have the coat, don't be so selfish. Return the coat and give the other fellows a chance. Damage Suit Filed Against Pretty Co-Ed BURBAGE VS. BRADHAM For Alienation of Affection of "Sheik" Dudley-Married Last Year Charming young lady student of the University finds herself involved in a large damage suit recently when sum mons and complaint were served on her, demanding damages in the sum f $1,000,016.75. Miss Henrietta Bur bage, a student of the University, claims this amount as actual and puni tive damages from Miss Virginia Bradham giving as the cause of action the alienation of the affection of her last year mate, Mr. James Edward Dudley, who is also a student of the University. Friends of Mr. Dudley and Miss Bur bage will remember of the wedding of this happy pair published in the last year's copy of the Yellow Sheet. The union seemed a happy one for a time but as most good beginnings have sad endings this one was not out of the ordinary. A few months after the wedding it seemed that the weaker half Df the pair had been influenced by some outside force and was about to lesert his mate for another. Things went from bad to worse un til suspicion on the part of the female of the pair caused her to demand the cause of the lack of interest and in a frenzy of anger Mr. Dudley told her of the influence that this other maid had exerted upon him and his desire to be free again. With shedding of tears, heart aches, sleepless nights and days of anxiety a divorce was obtained, thereby setting this young man free again until he should be ensnared by the whim of some charming young lady andl again be fettered. This is what happened and at the knee of another co-ed within a month's (Continued to page eight) )L S' I ENTIRE FACU -- DRUNK CANNED I Tappa Tappa Keg Has Meeting at [V Changes in Student Life-Te Vacations Each Year CHEESE FAMINE IS NOW SOLVED V BY DETECTIVES i at MYSTERIOUS THIEF TAKEN wl in, Tales of Sleuths Read Like ca Romance-Undergo Many te Hardships lu The great cheese mystery has at last m been solved. Carlton J. Poulnot, proini- d nent club member and social lion, of w< Charleston, has been arrested in connec tion with the case and has admitted his th guilt. p The shortage of cheese in Columbia has baffled the police for the last four months, but has at last been cleared up. y It has been practically impossible for grocers or delicatessen stores to keep a a supply of this commodity due to the i activities of this man. r It is still a mystery how this one man at alone could have planned and executed M so many daring robberies as he has con- ac fessed to. Among the heavier losers St are: The Meal a Minute, DaCosta Whol sale Company, Hendrix', and Mrs Wil- th son's Boarding House. be It was through the latter place that the culprit was finally caught. List a year, about the middle of November, vo he was seen to steal two plates of cheese an from the table at supper, Sunday night. Fi This was unnoticed until repeated dis- m, appearances of cheese occurred through- ha out the town and the situation became 's desprate. th The matter was reported to the police th< and detectives Zerbst and Massie were put upon the case. The tale of the ad- all ventures of these two brave officers dil reads like a romance. Ngihts spent in dark Limberger-fiiled ca cellars on Assembly street, days of walk- to ing and stalking through the blind alleys of Columbia's underworld, long hours th spent in kneeling over cheese boxes and be crates at last gave the detectives their an long sought for clue to the identity of thi the thief,.n A peculiar feature of the behavior of fo Charlton J. Poulanot, held in connection to with the 'tcheese robberies" is his fear spi of mice. A mouse entered his cell today, and he tried to burst his bars to escape. W Dr. Charles C. Fishburne, noted psy- SIj chologist, upon being called in, said that fr this was due to an inferiority complex d~ the victim seeing in the mouse a rival re in the comsumption of cheese.

The faculty forms the lo I chapter of the nationally known fra rnity. As a result of this wild and stormy ncheon the University faculty this orning numbers three less, for former an of women, Irene Dillard, and for er professors Kennedy and Stoddard ere discharged due to happenings of e evening. Earlier in the day the two ofessors had had some rather heated ards over which would escort Miss illard to the banquet, but the blushirg '4ng dean soothed the difficulties by rmitting both tk come down. She stated that she felt herself fully pable of handling two men at once, d later events proved that she was ht. Well, anyway the two men met a given place before going down for iss Dillard. Arriving at the dormitory cording to the story given out by Mr. oddard after he had sobered up, she vited them into her private parlor, and ere she gave them a sample of her st cigarettes. They proceeded to ride through the mpus on the way up, singing in high ices, (Miss Dillard's was the highest) d singing "We hail Thee, dear old irman." This last offense was too ch for the students, who immediately d a meeting, and though Duke Harris, un" Pace, and Jimmy Lyons plead for professors, they were forced to leave e University. The faculty arrived at the Marmac in kinds of rigs and all kinds of con :ions but they were there. Dr. Melton, as usual filled the chair to pacity, and called the conglomeration order. During the banquet the faculty drank eir own healths frequently with the st quality of the spirits of Bacchus, d ate heartily of onion salad, giving place a pronounced flavor. Cost was t spared in preparation for the affair, r each member had gladly contributed the fund in hope of reviving fallen rits.
