The Very Idea! By Bill Gaines (With all d.ue apologies to our deat readers and to Bill Gaines, the regulat feature writer, who is ill.) The Goddess of Fistina smiled be nignly upon Allison's cohorts last Friday night. No use giving the conventional lead telling who, what, when, where; etc., far far into la nuit, as they say in the French Department (which might or might not be risque) but no body knows except the F.D. and they don't care. Which brings up to the point that we are trying to make, which is that. our age old Nemesis, exams, is ap proaching on horse-back or should I say poney-back. Meaning, dear sub scribers that we will probably sing our swan song, twittered in E minor, a ditty which will be entitled "Lest We Forget." It all narrows down to this business of separating the sheep from the shoats, or maybe we mean the goats from the sheets, or do you know we mean? However, when the smoke of battle clears away there will prob ably be a few professors left and some freshmen. Just a few words of warning for our campus Don Juans. That is: Never forget to use your handkerchiefs on your own face after sitting out a dance. Because although it's permis sible to wear your heart on your sleeve, a cupid's-bow on the cheek means a horse of a different color. And it's also against the unwritten code to spit on the sidewalk, insult cops, climb a flag-pole or take a bath in the public fountain when you have a lady with you . . . So you'll just have to be your income tax And now we'll wax a serious and make an impression: William Hamil tjn Hayne, a native of South Carolina died last Monday.. The state news -tapers gave a few scant notices of hiE ceath. The literary geniuses which C41ave awakened and developd in S. C. re many, but the papers are in a state %f suspended animation regarding thesc 'men and women. We have Dr. E. cC. L. Adams, DuBose Heyward, Am c4brose Gonzales, Archibald Rutledge; ' Elliott McCants and Herbert Ravenal g Sass Julia Peterkin, Octavus Ray Cohen, who have made good in a big way. Colleges in other states confer hon orary degrees upon their native writers. Most of these Carolina author.; were probably schooled in the University of Hard Knocks and have no college dc grees at all. Really! There ought to be a law. . . . And now there is the case of the home town girl who made good in the big city. Annie Frierson of Kirtgstree, an alumna of Columbia College who is doing graduate work at Northwestern University, has written quite an excel lent play, "Quagmire", a study of negro life. The professors at Northwvestern say they have uncovered a genius. The play has been readl before the most noted critics and prodircers iji Chicago, Misss Frierson reading the part of Mary--the heroine. The austere body of gentlemen proclaimed it great and believe that it ranks with Heywvard's "Porgy," and Green's "In Abraham's Bosomi.". A scant two-column story in a local newspaper is practically all the praise the author has received from her home state. We ask you! Give this little girl a big hand and a column-foot ! Columbia Laundry Night School Plans For Second Semester Dean Rowe Means To Publish A Pamphlet Telling Of School Dean Rowe is in hopes of publishing a the University Night School, is rapidly shaping his plans concernng the second semester, which will open around Feb ruary 18.

Miss. )essie May Anderson returntd to the university with the 'Flu', but left the infirmary Sunday. Her case is the last one reported to the authorities. At present there are only two patients in the hospital, these being Dorcy Ly brand and Lonnie Garvin. They are suffering from mild colds. u--c Engineering Grads Earn More Than Profs. Statistics Show That Salaries Are Better For Both Than Formerly Cleveland, Ohio-(IP)--Graduates of Engineering colleges generally receive a higher salary than the profesors who taught them, President Charles S. Howe, of Case School of Applied Science says in an article "College Training as a Profession," which ap pears in the December issure of the Case Alumni. The median salary of teachers in en gineering colleges is $4,200, while the median salary of engineering gradu ates is $7,500, the article states. Some teachers have an income from extra professional wvork bringing the median income of the professors tup to $5,700. "The professor can never expect to be wealthy, he barely makes enough to live decently and to educate his chil dren. He rarely has enough left for his old age unless he have been so fortunate as to inherit some property," Dr. Howe writes. IConditions, however, are improving the article continues. During the last 20 years salaries for Case faculty mem bers holding the rank of professor have increased from a maximum of $2,500 to a maximum'of $6,000. The Sanitary Caf."
