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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I also under;
stand why his lips seemed like a horse's
, hoof."

"Is married," completed Mr. Bimp.
