College Comment
Since our Honor System, of revered
memory, is still passive and past de
spite worthy attempts at revival, a
gimpse into similar affars of our
brother universities should not be amiss
at this time.
Sewanec, the University of the South,
kr this scholastic year. The committee
for th's chol!astic yar. The connmitte^
consists of six members, each class be
ing represented. According to the
Sewaree Purple, school paper, this small
bbdy ft nctions perfectly, so that the
honor of the University is maintained
in a manner entirely compatible with its
high standards.
Tho our student body is much larger
than Sewanee's, there is no reason to
believe that it contains a greater pro
portion of undesirables. '1 the Honor
System is reirstated here it can qu:ckly
be placed on a firm basis by the hearty
support of all the honest students, and
there will remain no problem concerning
the others.
Our boast that we have a renovated
and enlarged library is by no means uni
que, even within the boundaries of the
Palmetto State. The Johnsonian, offi
cial publication of Winthrop's fair
ladies, devotes a col:mn of its front
page in setting forth the claims of its
library, recently remodeled to accomo
date 200,000 volumes. As its present
contents number only 31,800 volumes,
there is ample room for increase, but
the indefatigable penmanship of certain
local swains should endow the Winthrop
library with at least 200 volumes, each
rivalling the wellknown letters of He
loise and Abelard, the medieval lovers.
Wofford College is offering a series
of night courses parallel to those now
getting under way in Carolina's halls
of learning, apparently without trepi
dation or financial nervous spells. The
classes are intended primarily for the
benefit of graduate students, and have
a total enrollment of seventy-one.
This is the second year that sech
nocturnal scholastic activities hsave
taken place in the Spartanburg college,
so it is evident that the plan is entirely
feasible. And what can be done n
Spartanburg can be done with at least
the same facility in Columbia.
We have recently been informed, via
Grapevine Telegraph Co., that after the
late lamented pres:dential election cer
tain students on the campus of the Uni
versity of Virginia hung streamers of
black crepe upon the statue of Thomas
Jefferson, in mourning for "Religious
Tolerance, Deceased in These United
States."
The sad event, so fittingly symbol:zed
by our brethren, arot:ses in us expres
sions of heartfelt sympathy and condlol
ence. The loss is ours eveni as it is
th eirs.
"It was dliscoveredl that several fresh
men were shirking their dluty at:d look
ing on from the p)rivacy of thier windlows
instead of engaging in the activities.
TFhis, lack of interest aroused the active
workers, an;d with shouts they rushedl
thru the (dormitor:es and rustled out
every muember of the freshman class."

up against the Furman outfit.
Carolina, aside from the Clemson de
feat, boasts one of the best records in
this section of the country, having turn
ed back such strong teams as Chicago,
Maryland, and Virginia. But, on the
other hand, the Gamecocks have been
suffering a slump during the last several
contests which has caused a gloomy spell
over the Birds' hopes. However, Game
cock supporters are anticipating a com
plete reversal of form next Saturday
and expect to minimize considerably the
blow of the Purple Hurricane.
EUPHRADIAN PRESIDENT
DELIVERS SPEECH
(Cont:nued from page one)
iner also stated that today the flower
of speech from the silver tongue orator
;s as much enjoyed as it once was be
eath the olive trees of Greece.
Immediately after the inauguration
ceremonies. a reception was given in
tionor of the new officers. President
%'ounginer presided for the reception,
and was honored by M:sses Emily Geiger
and Aileene Funderburke whom he call
ed upon to take their seats on his either
side. A mock debate was a chief event,
the affirmative side of which was up
held by two boys and the negative by
two co-eds, on the query, "Resolved:
''hat the co-eds should play football
w:th the girls of CoL mbia and Chicora
Colleges." The negative side was given
the decision. Another feature of the
program was an humorous speech by
"Punk" Atkinson.
Sandwiches and punch were served

It is unnecessary to describe "with
tears in our voice" (Daily Tribulat*ont
of Teaching, by Josiah Morse.) the oc
currence of incidents showir.g the lack
of spirit on the Carolina campus. They
go almost unnoticed, for such s the at
titude of the majority.

With the exception of the Tiger af

season-and espe~cially so Saturday,
sirce Carol'na intends to route the hoo
doo and break the scoreless ties that
have been making themselves quite num

Furman has stopped our march to the

Studentt.s Asked To
Retrl. DecoraConm
Mr. Driver, the director of athletics,
has received a bill from the Orangeburg
Fair officials for banners and other dec
orations taken from the grounds by Car
olina students. Although the above men
tioned articles were probably taken
through fun and for souvenirs, and in
view of the fact that the athletic depart
ment has been charged quite a large
sum for the decorations, Mr. Driver re
quests that those students who have these
above mentioned articles please retirn
them to his office immediately and no
questions will be asked.

NUIT BLANCHE
'Twas a balmy summer evening,
As the snow was falling down.
The cattle died of thirst that day
When water flooded the town
The dust was something awful,
While the water was knee deep.
The evening train had a blowout
Which disturbed the pilot's sleep.
"Don't shoot," the captain shouted
As he tangoed down the deck,
"I've got a pair of bee's knees
And a red landlubbers neck
'Twas pitch black dark at noon that
Night, as the sun began to pass.
And a bare-foot boy with shoes on
Stood sitting in the grass.
The horses' calf was braying,
The hound clog meowed out loud,
The cat barked at the elephant, '
And the jackass seemed real proud.
The ship was heaving slightly,
Not a street-car was in sight.
The conductor called the balls and
strikes,
While. it rained all (lay that night.
All hell broke loose as the roof caved
in
It seemed my life was staked.

Swimming Team To y
Practice at Y Pool
Jimmie Driver Is Successful In
Securing Use Of City
Y Pool
Through the efforts of Jimmie Driver
sufficient funds have been secured to
pay rent to the Columbia City Y.M.C.
for the use of its pool. Therefore, the
University will be able to put out an
inter-collegiate swimming team during
the coming season. Heretofore the City
Y.M.C.A. charged each candidate for
the team a membership fee but with
this small fund Mr. Driver has made
favorable arrangements for team.
The team will practice on Monday
Wednesday and Friday between the
horrs of 3 and 4 o'clock. Mr. Jack
Crawford predicts that the team has
very good prospects for the co 4ing
season.
