Freshman Learns Old College Yell Lowest Insult Possible For An; Student Of Carolina It happened in my first month a a student at Carolina. I suppose i must have been abou. 9:30 p. in. was in my room in Woodrow Colleg< studying or maybe I was reading th Saturday Evening Post. At any rat I was all innocence and wasn't ex pecting what followed. There wer a number of other boys in the roor too. I have found out since the that whenever you want to read o study there will always be severs boys dropping in to start a bull scs sion. On this particular night the bu session was just getting organize when some unknown person rode b on Green street and with a hoars but lusty voice yelled, "horse doctor. Immediately the air turned purpl with the type of language which i commonly called "cussing," but thi night it surpassed anything that had ever heard before. Every boy i that room except me had rushed t the windows to denounce the one wh had yelled. They seemed to want t tell the world at large that anyon who would ride by and yell hors doctor was a?well, I won't tell ex actly what they said, but it was quit plain that they didn't think so mucl of him. Now I saw no reason to feel lik that at all, of course, I am studyinj to be a journalist and not a veterinar; surgeon; but I didn't feel that I shoul curse a man who seemed to be mis taken about it. Naturally in my in nocent ignorance I asked, "What* the idea in that?" The one of the boys who ha< cursed the loudest and longest, am who also happened to be an upper classman turned to me and saic "Freshman, would you let anybod; call you a horse doctor?" "Well," I began meekly, "I'd prob ably explain to him that I was study ing to?" "Get this!" he interrupted, "you cai let a man curse your ancestry, or in sinuate that there is a blemish in you family tree, if you want to; but don' let anybody call you a horse doctor Understand?" "Yeah, I understand." I said, bu still I wasn't quite satisfied about th< matter. For days after that I asked every one I saw why I shouldn't allow my self to be called a horse doctor. Mos of them told me frankly that the] didn't know why but that they weri sure there was some good reason One boy told me a rather vague ston about a veterinary surgeon who grad uated here many years ago. I aske< how many years ago, and he didn' know. I was still unsatisfied and t< tell the truth, I am unsatisfied to this day. I am certain of only one thing and that is that it is an old GaroJin. custom to refuse to be called a hors< doctor. So now when some unknown per son rides by on Green street and yell; with a hoarse and lusty voice, "hors< doctor," I, too, rush to the window and explain to him, in the language of a sailor, that one who yells hors< doctor is of the lowest type of hu inanity and that his immediate fore bears are of an uncertain nature. EUPHRADIAN TO ENFORCE RULES MORSE IS WEEKLY ORATOB Interesting Debate Is One 01 Features Of Good Program The Euphradian Literary society, ai its meeting held last Tuesday night decided to enforce the constitution o] the society in regards to the fines foi unexcuscd absences and the dropping of those men from the roll who have over four successive unexcused absences. This action was taken ir order that those men who are taking no interest in the work might b< eliminated from the roll. The debate for the evening was, Resdlved: "that South Carolina should grant divorces." The negative, defended by Griffith T. Pugh and LeRoy M. Want lost a close argument to the affirmative, represented by Yancey McLcod and J. J. Brown. J. Mitchell Morse was the weekly orator. He spoke very entcrtaingly on the subject of "labor organization in the South." 11. H. O. Frank: "What is that terrible odor?" John: "Business." Frank: "How does business make that odor?" John: "It's rotten." Lady: "Do you make life-size enlargements from snapshots?" Photographer: "That's our specialty, Miss." Lady: "Fine.

WEEK IS QUIET AT INFIRMARY ERY FEW CONFINED TO BED "It has been very quiet at the inrmary during the past week, and icrefore there is not much news to ivc out," says Mrs. Madden. Howver, this is in itself good news. Durig the past week only four boys have een confined to their beds in the inrmary. They were J. YV. Hayes, obert Palmer, Pierce Gulledge, and ack Moore; but none of these were jriously ill. Of course there has been the usual uota of colds, sprained ankles, boils tc., but this is to be expected every eek. Last year this time the infirmary as filled to overflowing with an epiemic of influenza. On the whole, coiiitions this fall have been better with illy a fraction as much sickncss as in revious years.
