The Very Idea! By Bill Gaines In recent years there has been a ten dency on the campus to criticize every thing connected with the governing of the University, irrespective of the fact that its government is very largely what the students make it. Through the literary societies, the student body has a voice in many matters that it has shown itself incapable of handling and through the honor committee of some years standing unstil the faculty took supervi sion over, it has sadly bungled matters of honor which should reign paramount over petty issues of the campus. Such being the existing circumistances, it seems badly out of place for students of the University of South Carolina to get . themselves up as judges of the fitness or unfitness of things in the governing line. THE VERY IDEA is of the opin ion that if hands are to be bitten, some other than the ones during the feeding should receive the mastication. Four inebriated souls, happy, carefree and still thirsty, were heard till the shank of the evening of the sixth of October had waxed, singing soulfully, if not smoothly, in the environs of Thorn well college. The fact worthy of com ment is not that they were singing out of tune nor that they were half seas over, for both of these are of common occurrence, but rather the choice of melodies they employed. Heading the list was "Nearer My God to Thee," not half as inappropriate as it would at first seem, closely followed in preference by 1248 Main Street GAYDEN I Cigar t,tV_1A ; L, L! 1U l.1 ES, P1 The ' est ot Years J P.

Coggins & 130015 SYDNEY CoGGINE "The Church in the Wildwood." It is most gratifying to know that these boys' early religious training does not desert them even under the stress of Columbia corn. There are many humorous incidents conrlected with the alcoholic life of the campus that would probably not make the editors of Judge or Life, tear their locks for not scooping each other on them, yet, which might wring - a smile from the persons concerned. For ex ample, there is the case of Jdhn Doe. John was no niggard about anything, especially when it came to absorbing the j,uice of the corn. One night, after hav ing done away with more than his .share of the festive essence, he decided that a flight from the third floor of Burney college to the contrasting part of ward law would be a mere bagatelle. This plan he put into operation and, well, he alighted-still lit. Then, Richard and Thomas Doe, hav ing read in Eleanor Glyn's "Three Weeks" 6f the bed of roses, determined to secure one for themselves, lik.wise. Not being able to obtain a sufficient quan tity of rose buds, they proceeded to pluck all the available tulips in the Cap itol grounds and spread them over their respective beds wherein they soon spreid their own frames. The odor from the "bcd of roses" and from concentWated lye soon enveloped these delvers into asbestos -bound books and dreams follow cd in which hundred-eyed whifflebats probably chased polka-dotted elephants. THE, VERY IDEA will present twelve bottles of bromo-seltzer to any who submit similar incidents of inebriat ed dam foolishness. 142/ Main Street 3RO'1'HERS Stores 'ES AND I'L1DI1CAL. .ndicates Reliability!
