. BATES 'WILL 2 ESTABLISH A 9 LIBERTY CLUB S Comes Out Strong For Free Speech, AU Forms of Re ligious Tolerance c. &S VOICE SHOWS PATHOS Says He Is Strong For Freedom But Religious Tolerance Is Strong Fort "I am going to do all in my power to establish a chapter of the American Civil Liberies Union in. this state," said Jack Bates in an'interview grant ed to a reporter of the Yellow Sheet yesterday. "The principles of free speech and free expression of thought must be kept alive if our country is to become greater." - The great exponent of tolerance spoke vehemently and convincingly as is his wont. His splendid black eyes flashed fire and lie seemed to be the re-incarnation of Thomas Paine, H. I,. Mencken, Harry Lauder and other "liberals" and philanthropists." Continuing, Bates said, "It hurts me iore than I can tell you to see the great amount of intolerance which ex ists in this, my own, my native land." His voice contained, all the pathos of "Way Down Fast," "What Price Glory," and Henry Ford's apology. While emotion completely slew the speaker for the time being, I ran over in my mind the accomplishments and activities of this great intellect. In his capacity of circulation mai3ager of The Gamecock, Bates (or Jackie, as he is known to his admirers, who are legion) performed great services for his Alma Mater in preserving the freedom of the press, insisting that The Gamecock be sent out even when it contained matter which might be construed as a reflection on himself. For this tre mendous exercise of the will Jackie (being one of his admirers) received chairs and chairs. Not alone in the field of journalistic freedom has his star ascended high. Religious tolerance is also his strong .uit, forte. big gun and other Nicara guan (pardon, U. S. Marine) expres sions. Having wrung out his handerchief. our Jackie expounded further, "Not only in matters concerning religion and free speech would I like to see a change. I would like to see the time when men will recognize in all matters that the other fellow might be. right, rather than president, and that an open mind must be kept at all times. The trouble with this campus is that it does not want to be led out of its darkness. The darkness just makes it sleepy." At this point his voice rose to a scream, losing the delightful tang engendered in the independent re public of Batesburg-Leesville, and the great man slithered under the bed, his brain overwhelmned by the idea of tolerance. Selah. USC Miss Grace Saner . Enters Vaudeville Blushing Crow-Ed Wili Appear At Rivoli Next Friday -.. Night Miss Grace Saner, one of our fairesi co-eds and who bears the distinction of being from Prosperity, "The City eqlual to its name," has announced that she will enter immediately upon a tour with the Hoax Vaudeville Co. When it was reported that she had signed the contract, a score of photo graphers gathered in front of the Wo man's Dormitory instantly and re quested a few snapshots of her queenly beauty. Daintily clad, Miss Saner soon came forth to face a barrage of cameras. Blushing at first from the shock caused to her effervescent mod esty, Miss Saner soon regained control of her emotions and posed obligingly for the cameramern When interviewed by reporters last night, Miss Saner announced that she will make her debut at the Rivoli Theatre next Friday night, featuring in "The Scarcity of Clothes," after which she wilt leave for engagements Miss Hellams Adopts No-Light at Graydon Attractive Matron Trusts Girls Under Her Care In Dark Miss Martha Hellams, matron of Graydon House, 1635 Green street, re cently stated that she has adopted a no-light system to be used at Graydon House during dates. The girls under Miss Hellams' care are to be trusted in the dark and may allow their dates to remain until twelve. The above mentioned matron is quite young and attractive and says that she too will have her quota of dates. It is understood that the other matrons will also adopt the Hellams' plan. Mr. Ben Lucas stated last night that the no-light system being used at Graydon House was detrimental to young men. Under close observation the writer found that Mr. Lucas on Sunday night of March 25, mistook the maid for his date and this "kiss in the dark" caused Mr. Lucas to take his stand against the system. This how ever, does not prove the Hellams' plan a failure. Miss Florence Johnson has gotten up a petition asking that the no-light Wingfield's 1443 Ma --led Xam 631 .Main St. ALAS KA SOUTH AMERICA Davis Takes Oath to Stop Borrowing Member of Tenement 26 Creates Pledge to Affect His Intention I, Dixie G.
