CollegeComment| Sophormores at Western Reserve University, situated at Cleveland, Ohio have struck upon an excellent class momento, one which will be both use fwl and solacing in years to come. The men who expect to graduate in 1931 are purchasing pipes of a popular make initialed with their monogram and class numerals. A regular com mittee was appointed by the class to select a standard pipe, and this group chose a moderately priced long recog nized by collegians. The love of the soothing weed has always been a binding tie among all classes of humanity and the action of the westerners is well calculated to foster a spirit of camaraderie. The inauguration of a similar custom in Carolina classes might create a tenden cy toward class unification which is now lacking. Such a custom would also serve to stem they rising tide of fem inine influence on the campus, for pipes are still a strictly masculine posses sion. A professor at a northern university is quoted by the press as having stated that modern vocaaularies need to be enriched by additional curse words. He is undoubtedly right in estimating the weakness of present (lay speech. The most eminent historian on our faculty has been using his favorite four-letter piece of profanity for almost half a century now, so that it has very little strength left. The ladies have intro duced the milder explentives into the sanctity of their dormitory parlors, and are fast usurping the more vehement expressions. Hence the necessity for ivigger and bolder maledictions is ob vious. "A recent survey shows that the high silk hat or opera hat is being generally worn by Princeton students for the first time since the war." Princeton Alumni Weekly. The adoption of the high silk topper by the students of negro colleges would afford the dusky searchers af ter knowledge a wonderful opportuni ty to use an inherited African trick. Think with what ease and grace a full half-gallon jar could be balanced up on a wooly head, covered by a high hat and then-on to the dance. (I.P.) - Football is incorrectly named, according to Count Folke Ber nadotte nephew of King Gustave of Sweden, who was initiated into the game at the contest between Georgia Tech and Georgia. "The game is played with the hands, he said. "But it's a nice pleasant sport, and not so rough." Which only proves that the Count has not yet learned all about football, particulaarly tenement football, dor mant during the holidays but soon to be revived. While roaming in the wvorld of ath letics it might be well to whisper a word or two about wrestling. This interesting and historic sport has been indulged in very little of late. Tlhe nucleus of a capable wrestling team works unnoticed in the Carolina gym while boxing holds the stage. Tlhough it can never compjete with boxing as an attraction for the crowds, nevertheless wrestling has a wvonderful place in collegiate sports wvhich has not been accorded it at Carolina. N. Y.

The loan was made in the name of Mrs. Charles Manigault. The figures are on good authority said to be minature copies of bronzes which were carried to Europe from Moscow by Napoleon on his famous campaign into Russia. The two statues represent a gallant horseman in the act of mounting his steed. One of them has been placed in the hall on the table loaned by the Euphradian literary society, while the other will be placed upstairs, the exact location being undecided at present. usc Grad.

Prominently featured on the front page of the Davidsonian, newspaper of Davidson College, is a thorough criti cism of the Chameleon, a publication corresponding to the local Carolinian magazine. The scholar who wrote the unfavorable commentary upon ' the Chameleon took up each article separa tely, and in no single one of them could he find virtue. His detailed account of their numerous faults is a poignant re minder of the fact that it is much easier to criticize than to (1o real con structive work in the field of literature, or any other field, for that matter. Beware of the critic who devotes all of his time to tearing down the ac coniplishments of others. 'Peanut Week' was observed at Erskine College just before Christmas.
