CAMPUS Co.ed Opinion on .-londes and Brunettes Ame Prefer One Type, Some Other-"Don Juan" De cide& Question By FLORIDE GANTT PEverybody knows that gentlemen pre !er blondes-but what type of gentle nen do University blondes prefer? 4 Upon questioning numerous co-eds in mWegard to their opinion on this subject, preferences were so varied that it was almost impossible to get a censensus of opinion. One popuiar co-ed answered readily, "Oh, I prefer brunettes every time; there is a sophistication, a nonchalance, that the blonde seems to lack-and too, they seem to have developed the art of loving to a finer point. I may be pre judiced," she concluded, "because most of my friends are brunettes." "I prefer blondes," said another co ed. "They seem to embody more of the ideal than the brunette. They seem to be more honest, straightforward and lovable." "I'm not particular," said one. "Oh, personality is everything," an swered another, "and the color of his eyes and hair has nothing to do with it." One girl argued that brunettes were more masculine. "There is a virility about them that one doesn't find in the straw-haired, watery-eyed blondes." At this description of the blue-eyed type one little flapper immediately came to the defense. "All the heroes of fic tion are blondes," she argued, "Sir Galahad, Launcelot, Appollo, David-all were blondes and they were supposed to represent the highest type of manhood." "That's fiction, too," disputed an other, "why, all the great lovers in his tory were brunettes-Antony, Byron, Poe-and Solomon, too, surely must have been a brunette." "Most girls dream about blondes and go with brunettes," ventured someone. As a last resort one of the campus "Don Juans" was asked to verify some of these statements. "They may say they prefer one type to another," he re plied, "but most of the girls I know take whichever they can get." - Usc Fraternities Coming On Campus Fast Ten Social Fraternities and Five Sororities May be Installed By J.

BEST The South Carolina Collegian, a maga rine published by the Clariosophic and Euphradian literary societies several decades ago contained an article in the January, 1883, issue entitled, "An In teresting Relic." 1hie article follows: "The president's chair of the Euphra dian society has quite an interesting history, if the legends concerning it are trite. It is said to be the chair used by Thomas Jefferson when lie signed the Declaration of Independence. After this, it was used for some time for the presiding officer of the United States senate. When Hon. William C. Pres ton was United States senator fronm South Carolina, lie in some way, got possession of it and afterwards present ed it to the Euphradian society, of which he was a member. We would like to give a description of the chair, but want of space forbids our doing so, and we know of nothing to which to compare it in order to give a clear idea of its ap pearance. On examining the fame, the protected parts are found to be well preserved, while those that are exposed are rapidly decaying, thus showing that it undoubtedly has age, if not history. "We have heard nothing concerning its history before the time of Jefferson but it is very probable that it was im ported from Europe as it is very im probable that a piece of work of such nice finish was done in America at that time. "The society has recently decided to purchase a new chair for use and to preserve this one as a relic. "Of course, we are not absolutely certain that ail this is true, as we know Df no records concerning it, but the story does seem improbable." -Usc Kissing Delightful Claims Old Paper Osculation Uitexplainable-Ad vice Given to Young Men -Poetry Reprinted The following item is reprinted from The South Carolinian Collegian of April 1883. The Collegian was the predecessor of The Carolinian: "A kiss! a kiss I what is a kiss? A something light as air or thought; '110o rare for touch; for sound too soft, And yet with more than words is fraught." "No one can tell wuhy we kiss. It is 1 strange custom that has been handed :hown to us through history and tradi tion. Kissing in this advanced age is confined almost exclusively to the fair sex; only those of the adult sterner sex whc have formed matrimonial alliances, or who are seriously contemplating such associations, indulge in the luxury of ''osculatory ref reshmients." Looking b)ack through the dim vista of the past, we find that there was a tinie wh'len issing was more general than at present. Now, wve do not wish to discountenance kissing; far from it. But it is a well known fact that society, in some respects is a cruel, inexorable monster. She has p)laced regulations and restrictions on this custom, and the wvoman who willing ly violates them must pay the inevitable penalty. However, we hope that this de1ight ful fashion may continue, and in spite of the customs and habits of socie ty, increase in all its p)ristine sweetness. [In ordher to promote this excellent work, we give the following piece of advice .o the young men of this age: "Get all the kissing you can;" fairly, of course. As this commodity is confined by society within wvoman's arena, it is not governed b)y the great law of supply and demand. There is a large lot of osculatory re freshments wasted daily on those who are too young to appreciate them. Now, why this waste? Let the surplus be ~iven to the young men. It will refresh 'hem for weeks. If a student could get one sweet kiss from the girl he loved, ih. the year would be one holiday-" Women More Benefit - To Society Than Men The following item is reprinted from The South Carolina Collcgian, of April 1883, The Collegian was the predecessor of The Carolinian. "As the dew lies longest and pro duces most fertility in the shade, so -woman, in the shade of donestic retire ment, sheds around her path richer and more permanent blessings than man, whq is more exposed to the glare and obser vation of public iife. Thus the hunble and retired often yield more valuable benefits to society than the noisy and bustling satellites of earth whose iight and unconcealed enjoyment deteriorate an(I parch up the moral soil over which they flow. Man, the uncouth rock of the quarry, can become poiished only by the gentle friction of woman's so ciety." Times have changed and how? An example of Campus poetry, such as was written on the campus in 1883. The following poem is reprinted from The South Catolina Collegian, predecessor of The Carolinian: I clasped her tiny hand in mine, I clasped her beauteous form, I swore to shield her from the wind, And from the world's cold storm. She set her beauteous eyes on me, Her tears did wildly flow, And with he little lips she said: "You big fool, let me go I" Some cal SOME say that Camel is the i rette ever made. Some that smooth.
