Jackson, of Presbyterian college, to the presidency of the South Carolina Press Association. At a meeting of the staffs of the "Blue Stocking" and "The Collegian," recently held at P.

Presbyterian college will act as host to the Association when it meets n Clinton, next fall. COLLEGE PROFESSORS If c,oitege professors aren't screams we'd like to hear some. They make every bit as funny impressions on us as we seem to make oi them. Judging by the volley of sarcasm that we bring down upon our inno cent, unsuspecting heads, we feel our selves to be pitiable objects in the in tellectual world. However, we have noticed Sonic queer things about these intellectualists aid are ready to divuige a few of them--mind, I say a few: First, there is the unsuspecting, trust ing, dlear old men, who believes every thing the students tell him and takes it for granted that they can not help but )e interested in his subject. The oie who gives the students credit for a little human intelligence is the lppular, and its around him that stu dents cluster after c.ass hours, asking questions, and chatting in a friendly manner. The biting sarcastic prof. is the one who succeeds in making frail-souled creatures tremble. The strong minded could probably bite him back with some of his own medicine. The suspicious prof. never thinks you have lone your lesson, is sure you hate the course, and wonders how your par ents ever persuaded you to come to c()liege. Ar<other goes over and over his gems (f wisdoi on the supposition that a student must be told a fact 18 times before lie cana or will remember it. Trhe stoiid, plodding phlegmatic prof. is the one wvho pr,obably gets the least reaction. One finds oneself wondering what it is all about. The man who gets hold of a siagle phrase arxd works it to death, acdds much to our general amusement. 'There is the grof. who thinks lhe is witty, and bores class after class, fear after year wit lhthe same line of jokes. And these are just a few of the reac tions we register.--Diamondback. HAIL..

Croft Williams Tuesday 't his address to the Colum bia branch of the American Association of University Women, "but it must be a functional education, and the greatest contribution that college women can make to education is to ra'se the quali ty of it."

University Co-eds May Be Life Savers Red Cross Life Saving Contest To Be Held in February at Pacific Mills Pool In order to prepare more candidates for the Red Cross Life Saving contest, to be held the week beginning Febru ary 21, at the Pacific Mills pool by the captain from Red Cross headquarters in New York, Red Cross workers in the city are planning to give instruc tions to aspirants if arrangements can be made. The Knights of Columbus pool has been secured for two weeks and if as many as 63 girls care to enter and pay a fee of one dollar for two weeks, a chore of capable instructors will be on the job to teach beginners swimming, advanced swimming, diving, and life saving. The pool will probably be open all day but a systematic class schedule will also be arranged. University girls are especially urged to make an ef fort to take advantage of this oppor tunity to get some good swimming, in structions. Those who care to do so should see Miss Claudia Cantey about final arrangements. which tie he wears. The man with the heavy appetite is wasting away to a shadow!

Only thirteen students were dropped because of poor acadlemic standing from the rolls of the college at the begin ning of the second term. This is an unusually small number of students to be dropped for this cause. Thle present enrollment of the col lege is about 1130, compared with 1180 in September. Thirty-eight students re signed during the fall term, and twenty five did not return after (Christmas.
