Exchange Comments By A. H. Up at Davidson a fad for hypnotiz ing one's fellow collegians has ruled the place, and the big "Hesto, Presto," magician has the campus asleep at his feet. While hypnotizers have not done their work openly on the home lot, the mass voting at some of these elections speaks volumes for the ability of cer tain politicians to entrance the voting public into acting while their brains are dormaht. Even these geniuses are surpassed by most of the University professors, though. Not a man on the faculty has failed to exhibit the ease and skill with which he can lull an entire class to slumber. Every department of study has its experts, but the phil osophers are far more experienced, due perhaps to their interest in ab normal and applied psychology, and perhaps-well, sleep has its natural causes. Coker College seniors are presented with their rings at a formal ceremony. If such a procedure were instituted in the Gamecock's roost the fulfilled wishes of some people would make the investiture look like a brick-bat sling ing contest. Statistic hounds at the University of Kansas have dug up mathematical bones to prove that it costs a co-ed there a minimum of $526.50 a year in expenses. That's all very well as far as it goes, but how many hundreds does it cost the boy friend to have her attend col lege and her attention? The same calculating fools dis covered that the rich girl expended an average sum of $582.50 on frills and fripperies alone, but it is the boy who pays in the course of time and nature. And then, to bear out the case of the male versus the deadlier of the species, the Reveille of Louisiana State University displays the head line "Co-eds ask much of ideal." The, Louisiana Lulus admit that they are referring to the physical appear ance of the ideal in making the de mand, however. The concensus of opinion is that he must be tall, broad shouldered, with dark wavy hair and brown eyes. Go south and neck co eds, all you dark, lonely men! Many college freshmen are nomadic by instinct, natural tramps, in other words, So says Dean F. F. Brad shaw of the University of North Caro lina, who has been keeping tab on the wanderings of his freshmen flock. Local shepherds of the K. S. K. had no task in restraining the per ambulations of the local frosh last Satur<jay. Report has it that not one of them left the soft green grass of the campus between the hours of 8 a. m. and 4 p. m. Winthrop's May Queen has been chosen from among the following seniors: Mary Marvin, Kate Odiorne, Elizabeth Coker, Eleanor Hart, Re becca McDowell, Saress Ellerbe and Lila Atkinson. The identity of the fortunate nominee will not be re vealed until the actual coronation on May first. Such a condition is impossible at Carolina, because the friends of the defeated aspirants are always anxious to crown the May King at once and with whatever missile is handy. Sweet day, the first of May. The Bolshevists and radical agitators usually celebrate with a bomb throw ing, and local talent must be detected and surpressed before the death list mounts. It is about time for an open season on politicians, though. College radio took a forward step when Commander Richard E. Byrd, buried in the icy fastnesses of the Antarctic, heard from civilization through the medium of Georgia Tech's radio station. This was the only Southern station with which the Com mander could get in touch, despite K extraordinarily good weather condi tions. Here you are, Bannie, a ready-made opportunity. If you get busy this University may be the first to estab lish radio communication with Mars, Hee hawl The University of Vermont was re cently donated a generous supply of cigarettes by the manufacturers of Old Golds, a full carton being given to each student in order to win him to that brand. If it worked, and perhaps it did, there is now "Not a Scoff in a School Full," up at Vermont. The erudite sons of old Yale voted three to one in favor of a Phi Beta Kappa key against the glory of the athletic Block "Y." These men were seniors, ready to be brought face to face with the world, and they realized that no matter how much physical worth it represented the cloth letter could not compete with the golden key of wisdom. "The Presbyterian College football team may appear in knitted football pants -next season, according to the P. C. Blue Stocking. This will be fine-for the opposition. A single shameless opponent, equipped with a small hook, could send the whole team scurrying modestly to the sidelines, with the thread of their unravelled pants trailing far behind them."-Mer cer Cluster. It will be so convenient for the Mercerians to be good Samaritans if P. C. plays on the Georgia field next year. The dear little hosts can sit on the grass behind the sidelines with their knitting needles in hand as usual, and repair the damaged pants in a ladylike fashion. -u.s.c. FURMAN BEATS S. C.

Smith, Fur man, was leading in the javelin throw with a toss of 169 feet 1 inch. Ken nedy made a mighty effort td eclipse it and his throw went for 175 feet.

KINARD B BROWN, Campus Rej 1523 MAIN STREET DRIVER RESIGNS (Continued From Page 1) by the student body and by his many friends in the city. Mr. Driver came to Carolina soon after graduating from the University of Virginia. He was a big factor in the development of the team of 1912, probably the best that the University has had. He has been connected with Carolina as director of student ictivities since 1924. It has been rumored that Dr. Ralph K. Foster of Columbia will be con sidered by the board as the man to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Dri ver's resignation. Doctor Foster was graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1905. He was a prominent football p 1 a y e r, and coached at the Citadel for several years after 'graduation. He served over seas during the war. He has been interested in university athletics for some time, and his probable election is a source of pleasure to the authori ties. --.s..
