College Comment One hundred and forty-six co-eds aire registered at the University of North Carolina for the present semester, this being the largest number of the fair sex (so called back in he days when gen lemen were "gay deceivers.") ever to grace the Tarheel campus in one term. Almost one half of the ladies are in the graduate school, but the remainder are distributed thruout the other organiza tions of learning. The comparative smallness of the feminine enrollment is due to a state -law which prohibits women of less than junior scholastic standing from entering the university. Boston University is erecting a memo rial tower to Alexander Graham Bell which will be taller than Bunker Hill monument. The edifice is to serve util itarian purposes also, since its size en ables it to house the school of journal ism and the graduate school. Floors above the eleventh are to be alloted to various administrative offices, and the freshman elevator boy will .probably make dis debut into college circles upon the completion of the new shrine to "higher learning." The University of Chicago claims a record in having the oldest freshman. This freshman is seventy-two years of age. Some of our young hopefuls will not be sophomores until their seventy third year either, to judge by the cor respondence just issued from the Reg istrar's office. Juan Centeno, youthful Spaniard who is employed to teach Spanish at the University of Oregon, gives the follow ing information about colleges in his native land: "In Spain a student is given only one examination during his college career. ..It is given orally by a professor, and if the student passes it he receives his degree and is graduated. If he does not pass he stays in school uuitil he does. Residence at the universities is not re quired in order to obtain a degree. A student registered in a university can be away as much as he pleases. All that is required of him is that he be able to pass his big examination when the time comes.-The Virginia Tec,h. Therefore we are going to Spain, c where cleans are an unknown species and professors, like the co-eds, find their e opportunities only every fourth or leap year. Cv The S.A.E. fraternity house at Sew anee has been renovated and enlarged, i according to the Sewanee "Purple." Several new rooms have been added. Some amusing examples of quiz an swers are listed in the "Spokesman," of Greenville Woman's College. These bits of subconscious scholastic wit are not native to that campus, it is only fair to say. An oculist is a' fish with long legs. The sublime is a hairy deposit in a cold receptacle. Barbarians are things put in bicycle wheels to make them run smoothly. Joan of Arc was the wife of Noah. The Pope called Henry VIII "Fido the Offensive." Magna Charta said that the King was not to order taxis without the consent of Parliament. Pope wrote principally in heroic cutlets. The "Daily Californian," news bearer of the University of California, is as large and interesting as any city news paper published in South Carolina, which is only natural, for the big sc.hool n the Pacific Slope numbers more thou snds of people in Its enrollment than most Carolina cities can count within their limits. The large university of the United States has today become a colee city, possessing a cosmopolitan population and enjoying amusements and organiza dons of the approved metropolitan Dr. Smith Selects All.American Team This is the season for the choosing of All-American football teams.

On tk to CH MIL D Camecock's Writer Chooses All-State Now that the football season is all over but the shouting an,d picking of all-state candidates, the Gamecock sub mits its choice of the mythical eleven.
