WS U$] WOMEN STUDENTS USE PEDOMETERS j COMPUTATIONS COMPILED . Frosh Co-Eds Keep Track Of Distance Covered Per Day ^ Pour and one-half miles a day is . the average distance covered by t women students in their pursuit of _ education over our spacious campus, according to figures compiled by coed frosh equipped with pedometers. Accurate computations required j time, as many of the young ladies had , an undue mileage on their instruments, j while others had scarce any at all. The first of these irregularities was due to mid-night returns (on hoof) to native hearths; while the latter . string of figures were shaken down by r struggle buggies. Several of the co-ed infantry re. ceived their instruments at Yuletide. ' Whether or not they were being ex- r= ^ pccted to have an undue amount of ' distance to traverse during the holi. day festivities, or whether the dona' tors wished to have the young ladies _ make an accurate check on how far is too short a distance to ride, is not known.^ Comment declares Carolina the logical institution for such an ex- |L a pcriment. The tiny instruments are kept in ^ pockets and vibrate per step. Many r pockets are being added to co-ed cost tunics worn at Carolina, and the little metal case may be either a vanity or a pedometer. The longest run for twenty-four hour day was made by _ the co-ed who had a date with a member of the Gamecocks for a dance. She gave him her pedometer instead of vanity to hold for her. He was the drummer. U.H.C. I CO-EDS TO SEND ' MANY VALENTINES a T It is estimated that within the next v day or so, 078 co-eds will send to approximately 13,313 shieks declarations j of undying love and devotion (the forever and forever type of love); these lj same co-eds will send to approxi_ mately 13,314 other boy friends sweet is little billets-doux pledging their hearts 0 to them alone and humbly pleading re for theirs in return. c Hundreds of sweethearts "back home" will receive messages telling i- them that they are missed more and more each day, that memories of d them are ohl so sweet, and that they are the only boys in the world. Litn erally thousands of supposedly mere acquaintances, if they believe what c they read, will become convinced that s they are certainly some bashful little r girl's suppressed desire. Besides the fancy, lacy, little valentines that are positively "gooey" with love and kisses, there are hundreds more which are just as hard- L 1 boiled as the mamas who sent them _ a out. r One co-ed, apparently disgusted r with all men in general and with some e men in particular, is sending valen,t tines which address her young adt. niircrs with such endearing terms as :t cabbage heads and prunes. For more - ardent lovers she has a number of valentines in the shape of bears, bearing [- in glaring letters the words "Beat It." II Another is telling her sugar daddies e in no uncertain words that she would e love to teach them how to neck. It s lias been learned from reliable sources that she is a pastmaster both in the art of necking and of teaching others s to neck. Lb s Still another co-ed, who craves just I- a little lovin', has purchased several f petting licenses and is issuing them >f to her sweeties, who arc a bit timid >f and bashful about that kind of thing. )- u.s.o. s FORMER STUDENTS TO BE MARRIED McNULTY?MILLING ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED ?
