ICAMPUS 1 Baseball Lures Co-Eds c3 Lack Of Knowledge Of Game Does Not Cramp Their Style Did you ever go to a baseball game an sit behind a cot*ple of voluble co eds and have to listen to their chatter? It. goes something like this: "No. Myrtle, we are not very late. The score is only 110 to 30, see the scoreboard ? Lend me your lips.ick, will you ?" The crack of the bat and ball is heard. The fair co-eds join in the cheering. "A home run ? Grand ! But tell me Dora. if he knocked a home run, why does he have, to run all around the bases? It's the rules? Well, thii'k i is silly." "Well. I didn't make the rules. But look Myrtle, who is that blonde with Floyd Thomas? I thought he wen with a brunette? Wonder why they always come in late?" "I don't know, Dora. hu- who is that with Billy Brunson? Wonder if Mary knows it ?" "A strike did the tmpire call? Why he didn't even move his bat? Robber ! Robber ! Hello, Suzie! (In an under tone) She has a hat just like mine, the old copycat." They are joined by two more co-eds. "Hello. dear, we were just talking about you. People can take us for twins now. Are you going to the Damas dance? You are? Fine, who is taking you? Not him? Thought you had broken up? Prolonged cheering interrupts them for some time. "What, Salley scored a run? Isn't he good? I wonder if he k,ows it ? (chores of voices in rear) "I'll say he does, sister I" "Say, Dora, there is Monsieur Step han parading up and down ? Isn't he darling? You know I think he always looks the picture of what the swell dres sed man will wear. He only gave you a C in French mid-term? I got an A. I -hink he is adorable." "There is Dean Baker over there. He looks as uncomfortable in that stiff straw as I feel when I call on him. "Did you see that ball bounce over Clark's head? I don't blame him I wouldn't get hit either. You say it let in two runs? Dear me. I wish he had got hit then. "'['There is Charlie Mercer. Don't let him see me as I am going to tell him I was sick today." "Ther is Charlie Mercer. Don't le: did lose, we've got the best looking play ers anyway. Tell me, Myrtle. who were we playing?" -U.S.C. Library Gets Wax Impression Of Seal O. D. K. Fraternity Presents Uni versity With Impression of Confederacy The Chii circle of the O.D.K. frater-I nity has secured and placedl in the Ii brary of the University, a wax impres sion- of the great seal of the Confed eracy. This seal was thought for many years to have been thrown in the Savannah river at the close of the war of secession. The seal contains the espuitrian fig :re' of George Washington surroundhed by a wreath, symbolical of the produce of the southern states. Below the seal, is a brief history of it, placed in a mahogany case. The story of the seal is as follows: By joint resoltution approved April 30, 1863, the confederate congress adopted a seal for the Confederate states. Judhah P. Benjamin, secretary of the Confedlerate states, instructedI James "As Copela.nd Go,s.

GAm :s James Aloysius McGinnis slowly pul led one elorgated leg from its position across the foot of the bed, aided the appearance of the other by removing his coat from its ex' remity, and came to a sitting posture. He put out experiment ing hands to feel his head but they were six iiches too high at the first attempt. He brought them down till they touched his hair. He was somewha' surprised to fird that hair there. 'lihe last boot legger had said, "This'll take the hair off your head !" James had believed him after the first dr.ink. Af'er the second, lie hadn't cared if it took his ears off. The quality was not much, but the quar:tity-well, James had gone in like a -lamb and had come out like a lamp. His blue-eyed countenance had become blear-eyed long before the lin ing of his throat had failed. 'T'he hat on the chandelier worried James. He got rp -o remove it, but as his third thrust knocked it from its perch,, there came a tap on the door. "Come in !" he shouthed unsteadily. T-he door slowly opened and in walked a pink elephant, nattily attired in a Nor folk jacket and a too-large pair of plus fours. On his head was sitting a black "skimmer" 'hat was saved from pushing the tortoise-rimmed spectacles off his trunk only by a gigantic frown creas ing his forehead. "Great Gawd from Greenville !" yelled Aloysius, "What th' heck?" "Shish-h-h !" said the elephant, "Are you alone?" "Y-yes." "l3y yoursel f ?" .... "Y-y-yes." "No one with you?" "No one." "''hen, you are solitary !" said the elephant, driving his point home with a tight hand on the reins. He co'. tinued, "I see that you have a nice place here but somewhat ill-arranged. For instance: your bonnet-de-nu't should never he limited to a demi bouteille ! You know," he added, "I'm a French elephant." "Well, what Sam Hill do you want?" angrily exclaimed McGinnis, now re covered from his fright. "Shush-h-h again I" put in the mastodon, crossing his legs while still standing-a very difficult feat, "Do you like to make long speeches about noth'ng in particular?" "No, but-" "Do you like long, black cigars that smell like burning rope ?" M. Mason to go to England to have the seal cast in silver. Mason entrusted the casting of th^ great seal to J. C. Wyon, maker of th' great sealsi of England. By July 6, 1864. lie notified Mason that the seal was ready for dlelivery. It was shipped to Richmond, successfully ran the blockade andl arrived in the capitol of the confederacy ini September of the ~amie y'ear. It remia'nied ini Richmond until its evecuation. At the end of the wvar, the archives of the Confederate states were sold *0 hle United government for $75,000 and the great seal was presented to L,ieut. Selfridge for his work in (disposing of the archives. L.ater Selfr'dge was made an Admiral and retired with the seal in his possession. Sonme years later, a Mr. Hlunton of Richmnond thought that the seal ought to lie p)lacedl in a museum and bought it for $3,000 and presenited it to the Richmond niuseum in 1912, where it now remainis. e Pash,ion - tirarn t he Wn'y" R~TSON HTATS--BRADLF.V NC UNDF,RWFAR tylish for Men Who Care COMPANY Columbia, S.
