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.

LAD IN GERMANY SHOWS
GREAT INTEREST
HAWAII'S MAY QUEEN
That the maidens of the Paradise of
Pacific, especially those of the University
of Hawaii "hath charms" is shown
in a letter received from far-away
Germany inquiring of the fair maiden
who appeared "on the picture is sitting
on the right side." The picture refers
to the one of the University of Hawaii
May Queen, Anne Moore, and her attendants,
which appeared in the New
York Times pictorial section, some
time ago.
The letter from over the seas is as
follows: Dear Miss Moore: In these
days, from a brother in America I have
received newspaper of the New York
Times the picture section. I have seen
the picture of your morning celebration
in Hawaii in the month May. The
picture had the note: Hawaii acclaims
its First "Lei Day Queen." I have a
great interest for the maid that on the
picture is sitting on the right side without
you, dear Miss Moore, also twe
other maids arc on the picture
that one standing and the other sitting
on the left side of the picture. Miss
Moore, please answer you me; this
maid, does it be free and well-behavedi
dPlease write you me the advice of this
?\ade. I would go in the Evangelical
Lutheran Office of a clergyman for
j J)erman missions in U. S. A. or Canada.
I am very thanking for youi

CATCHES ON FIRE
Blaze Is Found In Room Of Rat
McCutchen, Pajamas Of
Jeffords Injured
Fire swept a room in Tenement 11
DcSaussurc College, Tuesday at dinner
hour with disastrous results.
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

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.
An investigation into the origin of
the sudden flame brought to light the

Halloween night! Mystic night of
evil influences! 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

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

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 Carolinan matter is yet before
the faculty but news has leaked out
that the present staff of the Carolinian
is to be left intact but that a girl
must be the editor the second term.
Now is the time for all parties to
start picking a likely candidate for
this position; one who is level headed
with some common sense who if she
isn't elected will not try to turn the
campus upside down.
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.
Life is a field in which many crops
are planted.
The clouds have never failed to
obey the winds.

A plaintively sentimental song that
packs a kick in every sob is backed
by a peppy dance-provoker from a
