University of South Carolina Libraries
The Very Idea! By Bill Gaines The University has an organization drawn from the co-eds within its stu dent Lody that has done a great deal to advertise the university in a favor able light throughout South Carolina and parts of North Carolina and Geor gia. Its operates under the name of "Co-ed Follies" and is shortly to put on a performance in Columbia. This organization is not : connected with the university other than having its members attend classes there. Its membership comprises of a., group of about fifteen girls living in Columbia who arrange all the dances, choruses, skits and features of the show they put on without any aid whatsoever from outside agencies. And the remarkable part of it all is that every act is put op in a manner far exceeding that of many professionals. Last summer they went on the road for the first time, playing in several cities in the tpper part of the state and extending their tour into North Caro lina. As a result, two -f this oirgani zation's members received offers from one of the leading vaudeville booking houses in America whigh, by the way, they both refused. It is to the credit of the university that such talent can be found within its b,,)unda.-ries. It is remarkable how free-hearted the merchants of Columbia are. It would seem by their conduct of the past 'hat they are always willing to dig down to the points in their pockets where it hurts to help not only the uni versity but also the other colleges and schools of Columbia. Five publications at the university have already sought support in their advertising campaigns from the business men of this city and every one of them has received a grat ifying and profitable number of adver tisements. Such a spirit in disinterested persons should be extolled. This brief paragraph of thanks is directed toward the maj.ority of Columbia merchants and not to the one or two who have merited no such acknowledgement. The university has a great deal to be thankful for. It has one of the oldest college libraries in the South. It has active professors who have contributed to the world of letters in practically all lines, chief among them being history, sc.ence and Engish. It has at the pre sent moment a professor who is con ducting experiments in feezing that promise to be epocvh-making. It has a great football team that will be better next year. It is connected with the Town Theatre which is among the fore most of the -South. It has a glee club that invariably places in state and south ern competition. It has very cheap tu ition which fact the north is awakening to. It- has ancient bell-ringing facilities that are unique in the south. It has a newvspaper that placed first n state competition and a magazine that camne second in its field. It has a Reg istrar wvith an infallible memory. Per hapIjs that last should not have beeni mentioned I It has the "Co-ed. Follies." It has traditions that extend into the remtote past. And last, hoping nothing has beeni omittedl, it has "It" as' exemi plified by one or tivo of .the co-eds. ---usc Orators Medal Won' By Wilson :.Weldor> Evans And Want Get Second Place--Negative Wins Debate The annual Oratorical contest gnd a lively debate was the feature of a--meet inc of the Euphradian Literary Society las.t Tuesday night.

It looks like all the state teams, with the exception of Carolina, are in the market for new goal' posts-following the games on Saturday the 17th. "All things cometh to him who waits," in cluding a win over Furman. And the dear old soul said, as we were riding the other night,"I have never, in all my life, seen so many cars out of gas." We think that the most innocent event of the month and submit it for your approval. Now, "Brain Fever" you tell one. They call him canary-he's spent his best years in a cage. It is a case of true love if he can smile fondly when she finally comes down stairs after he's waited exactly 26 minutes, by the clock. But, every time we have a date with one of the girl friends we, somehow, re member that Bologna is in Italy. C orrect this sentence: "Every student was in the parade after the Furman game, including the cute Wingfieldian college boys." We call her ''ucsdav-Mon. comes frst. We like prohibition 'cause it's better than no likker at all. A new shirt is like some of our first dates. It'll show new around the neck in spite of everything. An' that ain't all. A new pair of shoes reminds us of some that squeaked while we were breaking 'em in. Some people never look where they're goidg, and some would go where they svere looking-if only they could??? "Well, tomorrow's Thursday the next (lay's Friday and the next day's Satur day night," said the room mate as he pulled off his shoes. We call her Godiva-she chooses to ride. Who wouldn't? Walking's toc hard on the in-steps (obscenity seekers: Notice that we said in-steps and not "step-ins"). Just give me a loaf of bread, a jug o' wine and thou, and I don't care how many windy days I miss being present at Wingfield's skirt-blown corner. We'd rather not be goggle on "South Carolina Spirit of Unity." Mr. Wilson Weldon gave the .final speech, "Roads to Empire." A conmmittee of judges composed of Prof. Bradley, D)r. Wardllaw and Prof. Davis dlecided that Mr. Weldon had given the best oration,while S. E. 1Brown andl Leroy Want tiedl for second( place. J1ohn Madison Younginer was presiding and p)resentedl .\ r.

The ,af6irmative .was rep resented by Mr. Dicket and Mr. Sprewer. The negative was upheld by Mr. Prich ardl and Mr. Dunbar.

Gentlemen: Speaking of champion long-time members of the EDGEWORTH Club, say:-it isn't how long you havesmoked Edgeworth, it's how well you have en joyed the smoke. Why, I have walked out of many a store, especially when traveling to stop at some one-horse town and buy Edgeworth. A good pipe deserves Edgeworth, and Edgeworth mine gets. I would not insult it with any other. "The familiar blue cans are every where," and usually you find men of taste carrying them, which proves it is not tl'e price that determines a good "smok,' tobacco, but the care and netho:l that proc!uce it. I would rather go days without Edgeworth and at the end draw a deep inhale of that cool "smelly" aroma, satisfying to the h:st puff, than punish my throat and lungs and nostrils with inferior grades. Edgeworth is "The Smoke With a Personality," like an old friend, you learn to know and understar.d, and when t roulblel or when you have a "Ihinily" problem-- you seek its sol are and c(Ipalnionslip.
