Exchange Comments SOPHS HUMILIATED WHEN etc. The saying "Customs change as th'c time changes," was verified at Colorado College recently when Sophomores were forced by the Freshmen to shed their pants on a downtown street. Freshmen outnumber sophomores 2 to 1 at this school, which explains the reversal of custom. Wild confusion ensued when the sophomores, trying to hide knockknees and bow legs, clad only in shorts, vainly sought shelter in the nooks and corners of the busy street. To such uncalled behavior, we have no comments to make but we sincerely hope that the sophs revenge was sweet. FOUR OUT OF TWENTY FROGS GO TO COLLEGE "Four of the 'twenty froggies who went to school' have gone to college," says George McCollum, assistant in the biology department. The above statement is verified by Cletis Eskew, student. McCollum and Eskew spent one and one-half hours in catching four frogs in a pond northeast of the college. May we congratulate these noble men on their good works but we must remind them to look out for warts. ?From The Southwestern.

Originating in the pink flannel pajamas of "Rat" R. O. McCutchen, Jr., the blaze then ruined a blue pair of nighties belonging to Bill Jeffords, fraternity editor of The Gamecock. McCutchen, the only occupant of the r join, rushed to save his domicile, i Filling a milk bottle with water, he ! dashed through the smoke to the 1 source of the conflagration, and doused the pajamas with milky water. Judge and other campus officials came to the scene, but the perspicacious freshman had extinguished the fire before their arrival.

Indistinct and obscure forms flit through the shadowy darkness. Let him, who ridicules and pretends with a quaking heart and false laugh to fear not black magic, beware! For on this night the bat-like witches ride their broomsticks; ghoulish genie waylay innocent wanderers; and mischievous fairies play tricks on i helpless mortals. 'Tis the evening of the Citadel game. , An automobile speeds homeward carrying an assemblage of mirth! stricken and flippant youth. Gleefully they shout, they laugh, they sing. , The car nears Columbia. "Here we arel" Back seat occupants have been conveyed to their ! very doorsteps. Onward goes the speed-demon on the last lap of its , journey. Suddenly all is confusion; where is ' it? What could have happened to ; it? When? Where? Why? "I'm ' sure I had it here," said the young I lady. "Who has a flashlight?" On the I seat? No. There? No. Did you . drop it in the street when the door opened? No. Search, search, search! All in vain. What foul trick is this? What sinister power bodes this ill omen? It is incredible, incomprehensible. The brownies gibber in ghastly glee. Old Nick himself is on earth tonight! Despair! Hopeless resignation! Oh well, peace be with it. It is quite lost ?my new hat! { U.H.C. GEORGE MEETZE TALKS TO FR0SH AT CLARIOSOPHIC MEETING R. Tshu, Japanese Student At University, Elected To Membership In Society i At the last regular meeting of the Clariosophic Literary society, R. Ishii, a Japanese student at tl.e Uni: versity, was elected to the membership of the society. After the roll was called and the . minutes of the last meeting read, the society went under the head of literary exercises. Roger Pinckney gave an interesting talk on engineering. A debate, resolved, that the U. S. government should own and operate i railroads, was the next number on the i program. The affirmative side, represented by Frank Buie and Nigel League won over their opponents, ' Calhoun Clement and G. C. Knight. A committee was appointed to provide covers for the radiators. A motion was made and passed to move Wade Hampton's picture back to its , former place. After the business session was over, George Mectze addressed the freshmen on the necessity of learning to speak and also warned the men to stay out of politics. The society then adjourned. fact that the pajamas had been hanging from the third story window of the room, and that some passerby had used a sun glass effectively to set them on fire. Freshman McCutchen declares that he had nothing to do with the outbreak- of the flames. No other clothing suffered damage, but the freshman was "burned" for letting his pajamas jeopardize the safety of the room. The Political Pot "Always Bubbling Over" Last Thursday night at the Euphradian elections the old Tammany Tiger had everything to himself as he slashed, bit, chewed, and fought his way to victory. His supremacy was never questioned but once and that in the race for. the position of secretary. Marion Yates nominated himself to run against the red headed Weldon, a I annnany champion, but Yates was overwhelmed and never again was the Tiger's supremacy questioned. Lawrence Case, the good-looking Inmanite, did his work well for under h's guidance (and perhaps also the guidance of his portly roommate, Robert H. "Punk" Atkinson) the entire society was consolidated into one party. Case and his entire ticket swept the elections. Such an election caused quite a bit of comment and one member of the society asked the "old war horse" of Burney college?namely Bob Sparks ?to once more bring some "fire and thunder into the hall at election time. Perhaps it was the reaction of the Carolina-Clemson game or perhaps Cause lent Oft Halloween ? ?

MAIN AT LADY STREET it was the thoughts of a victory over the Citadel that caused such a quiet freshman class election. It was nevertheless quiet for only about fifty freshmen took part. Freshman Worthy of Rock Hill gained the position of president easily. His assistants will be "rats" Moroso, Correll, and McCutchcn. For the first time in history almost the powerful Green Street Midline has failed to have one of their fair beauties elected to the position of a frosh class officer. As The Political Pot sees it something should be done about this kind of an election. What is the matter parties? Have you gone to sleep in that you let such an easy chance for excellent politicing go by?

The Green Street Machine should take especial notice for they have several persons who will make splendid editors but it will take plenty of good politics to get them into office.
