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.

Orators Medal Won'

The annual Oratorical contest gnd a
lively debate was the feature of a--meet
inc of the Euphradian Literary Society
las.t Tuesday night. The Oratorical.
mnedal gi-ven in this contest attracted
the best Oratore of the .society and the
speeches were well 'pi-epared and* de
livered.
Mr. .1. J. Brown rendered a very time

Only 21 more stropping days 'til
Christmas-Sophomores take notice.
Thg flea-bitten quartet will now lean
up ond sing "When she wore tights in
the amateur theatrical they all said I
married for her money."
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. Weldon with the
Euphradian Orators Medal.
Immliedliately after the contest there
was a dlehate .on the query, "Re
solved tbhat Trial by Jt:ry Should be
Abolished." The ,af6irmative .was rep
resented by Mr. Dicket and Mr. Sprewer.
The negative was upheld by Mr. Prich
ardl and Mr. Dunbar. After a spirited
d (ebate and unusually sharp rebuttals the
judges finally concluided that the nega
tive had won.

think of adding that personal touch to
the ensemble already replete with thrills.

try that on your dilapidated phonograph

This columnist learns with a great deal
of admiration for the members that a
new club (Manitoto) has been formed
on the campus to foster interest in i
cycling-particulars may be had from
one who staggers under the monickcr

calling us either "Stinky" or "Flop

flicked his cigarette ash in my coffee.
Anything you put in my boarding house's
coffee in bound to improve it. But talk

as a letter from home after the mid

trouble like a new suit at a pirnic at

The trouble with most dumb-bells is
that they aren't dumb.

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.
Very truly yours,
