m w > FEDER STUDENTS TAKEN TO PENITENTIARY OFFICERS FIND STILL IN "Y" Authorities Fear Lynching Of Lewis, Bell, Shepherd, Hicks, And Devlin Federal officers J. J. (Red) Brown, "Battling" Youngincr and R. Ishii swooped down on the campus of the University of South Carolina Sunday inorning and caught five prominent tnembers of the Y. M. C. A. operating a huge whiskey still in the basement of Flinn Hall. i The arrested persons were taken to Columbia Police station where they were identified as R. G. Bell, T. P.Devlin, Woodrow Lewis, M. H. Shep- [ herd, and Lorraine Hicks. They were later taken to the state penitentiary j for safe keeping, when it was feared 'l that the students of the University 1 were planning to rush the police sta- . tion and lynch the prisoners. . Ossifers have been watching Flinn J Hall for two weeks due to tips given them by Grier, Pritchard and Barbour, who reside between the Campus and Taylor Street. They complained of alcoholic odors originating in the ] vicinity of Flinn Hall, saying that these upset their appetites. However, until Sunday morning, nothing could j be discovered. The ossifers' unceasing watch was rewarded during the wee small hours Sunday morning when they perceived a light suddenly glow dimly in one of the rooms of the basement of Flinn Hall. Approaching noiselessly on tiptoe, the ossifers heard both male and female voices emitting from the room. Without stopping to knock, Ossifer Younginer smashed through door with a trememdous crash and landed on top of R. G. Bell, the doorkeeper. "Ergy ' Seemed very indignant at being knocked to the floor and rose sputtering French phrases that no one could understand except Ossifer Ishii, who said he was cursing Ossifer Younginer very fluently. > At the moment of the ossifers' entrance "Devil" Devlin was pouring the rotgut into pint bottles; "Woody" Lewis was screwing on the tops; "Massy" Shepherd was labeling the bottles with labels which declared that the corn was pure Scotch; and "Preacher" Hicks was industriously packing the bottles in bags until stopped by Ossifer Brown. The bootleggers violently objected to being stopped from working and said that they would sue the ossifers for false arrest because Gov. Nigel League had granted them the exclusive right to manufacture whiskey for Carolina drinkers. Two prominent lawyers. "Buster" Matthews and Hugh Wilcox, have been secured by the defendants to represent them. These lawyers were chosen because they are widely known as being absolutely dry and it is thought that they would have more influence with a jury than lawyers who favored whiskey. DEAN EXPELLS ENTIRE STAFF (Continued from Page 1) done only to get the journalists to write things that could go in the yellow sheet, as scandal was unusually carce. He laid the blame on the Rev. Younginer, claiming that the idea was ( his and was carried out at his insistence. Atkinson was said to be the one who furnished the liquor, which incidentally, has been declared to contain poison by the state chemist. ( The managing editor, LeRoy Want, told of the part the co-ed staff had , played in the matter. He related how Frances Black had insisted on taking , Wore than her share of the liquor and , had led the other girls on to strong J drink. It is rumored that Miss Bl&ck will also be prosecuted by the local, < state, and Federal authorities. , Several prominent campus organi- , Rations have sent petitions to the Dean j h that he reinstate the students, on the Pounds that it is the first offense of , many of them. The Y. M. C. A., if we petitions do not succeed, stands to lose some of its most prominent j members, including its newly elect- ? president, John White, William Latham, and Wilson Weldon. Dean Baker was heard by a reporter } from one of the city dailies to remark ? gat there was a bare chance that Halsey, Want, Morse, and Prince ( might be reinstated. He declared that j Jje would give the petitions concerning me girls the greatest consideration, but ; Mded that Miss Black had been t Warned so often that her case was almost hopeless. u. o. Prof. Bray?"A man is blest who, *nen having nothing to say, abstains jrom giving us wordy evidence of fact." We hope that some of our professors don't take this seriously.

BLANKHEAD VICTIM OF CRUEL ATTACK NARROWLY ESCAPES INJURY Animals Of Forest Storm Head Of Campus Policeman, But Are Repulsed Caught in mid-flight across the campus, "Little Judge Blankhead," editorn-theif of the 1929 Yellow Sheet, narrowly escaped having his head bitten jit by squirrels Saturday morning. "I was wandering across the cam3us, playing "Sweet Susie Sniffleblatt" >n my jewsharp, when I first knowed :hosc fierce animulcs was after me," fudge Bankhead confessed, nicely al:ernating his sentences according to a ixed schedule of one word, one shot >f tobacco juice, and one oath. "Now I alius was fraid of squirrels, iver since one of them chewed my ear iff when I was a little boy. The first hing I knowed, two of them was after ne. I ranned and I ranncd, but they :ame along. "Then I called Marshal Cantey to leliver me, but he'd done gone ishin' with Reed Smith. So I ranned ind I ranncd, and them squirrels rallied too. One caught 111c on each houlder, and began to thump my head ike woodpeckers. You couldn't tell he difference," said Judge, pausing :o reach for his revolver when he saw i bushy tail, which appeared a second ater as part of Dean Irene Dillard's ur neckpiece. "Finally I dived in the drinking fountain in front the Marshal's office, [t near killed me to get water on me, >ut it drove them squirrels off. "You never can tell about them :reatures. Someone done told me that :very autumn they collected judges' leads and buried them in a heap for winter. But they won't get me, 110 jirree! I done got me a Kappa Beta Phi drinking key, after swallowing !wo quarts of rotgut with ole George Dlson. Nothing's gonna touch me now." Whereupon the bottle-scarred vetTan of campus wars danced off to join Dr. Ralph Foster and Dr. Barney Heyward in a medical inquest over two dead men named Haig and Haig. ir.a.o. 30 ED'S HONOR BARELY SAVED "Please, Albert, you shouldn't mind loing it for me." "No, dear, I really can't; remember what your mother said." The University student and the University co-ed were seated on the runling-board of an old, old Ford tourng car. "But, Albert, mother is old and loesn't know how I feel because I'm foung. I never have before, but I want to now. I won't tell anyone; lonest I won't." "Dear, I know how you feel, but I want you to be a good girl." "Please, Albert, please." "Now listen, Gracie dear, I want to, ;oodness knows I want to, but I am a gentleman and I simply refuse." The lonely road was quiet. "Well, don't then, if you won't. I enow other boys who will, and I'll isk them. Crank up and let's go." "Well, dear, if you really insist on loing it, I will, though it's against my jrinciples." So Albert reached into his pocket ind pulled out a metal case. She eached for a cigarette. ii ??* HIGH GRADE PRINTING At Reasonable Price*?Quick Service W. C. HERBERT, Rep. Ten. 24?Room 18 a _ 11 an ca FROSH USES SUB FOR TOOTHPASTE SAID TO BE DUMBEST HERE The height of dumbness was recently demonstrated by one J. C. Tilton, freshman, in Pinckney College. Tilton hails from the tobacco ridden wilds of Lake City, S. C., and is the dumbest freshman in the entire University. It seems he had a very bad habit of using his room-mates tooth paste, and used said commodity constantly, refusing to buy any as long as he had access to a free source. Tiring of furnishing him with tooth paste, his room-mates conspired to get even with him. . They took an old empty tooth paste j! tube, connected it's mouth up to the 1 end of a tube of LePage's Jumbo glue , and proceeded to squirt the empty < tube full of the paper mending paste, i ' After the new paste had been concocted and fixed properly, the insti- c gators of the misdemeanor then plant- ~ ed it atop the dresser, where the free- ' lance user and sponger had been ac- * customed to finding his dental cream. Seeing it, he immediately seized upon the opportunity to use it, which I he proceeded to do with relish. He gave his teeth a most thorough scouring and went on about his business, so !. dumb, mind you, that he could not tell the foul taste of glue from the I sweet mint flavor of tooth paste. \ i He used the said tube of glue until t 1 he had consumed it's full contents, covering a period of over two weeks, a and then he had to be told that he had c been using glue for tooth paste. And c - this, if you please, is the height of t dumb jack-asses. "I wondered why his kisses were so * : sticky," declared a young lady named Wilma. "Now I know.
