EUPHRADIAN HAS
FIERY DISCUSSION
OVER BLACKBALLS
With discussion centering around
the question of whether a man receiving
two blackballs was elected into
the society, the Euphradian Literary society
witnessed an unusually fiery argument
at its weekly meeting Tuesdaj
night.
When ithe election of new ..members
was called for, it was found that the
following had been chosen for membership,
one of whom had received two
blackballs: Howard Sanders, William
Casin, Douglas Bruner, Ray Faulkenbury,
Sanders Guignard, Pincus Brenner,
and Teddy Kohn. ,
Immediately the question was raised
of whether two blackballs barred a
candidate from admission. After thfc
was answered definitely in ttyc -negative,
inasmuch as there had > been sc
much doubt as to the number required
it was moved that the society reconsider
its action. After a Jong fight
againpt it, the motion failed by a verj
clofce vote.

LOYAL ALUM

Somewhat chastened but far from
rushed by the events of the afternoon
t Grant Field, a bunch of young Gameocks
from the University of South Carlina
gathered at the Atlanta Athletic
!lub and learned from a group of loyal
Atlanta alumni that there is praise and
cheering word for a team that goes
own fighting just as there are loud
urrahs for the winning outfit.
The local alumni of the Carolina school
ssembled in numbers and through a
eries of brief but spirited speeches made
t clear that there was to be no hanging
i heads. A little honest regret that the
corei was not a little smaller and an
qually honest admission that the better
earn won, but no apologies, just plenty

and determined glance toward that

FRESHMAN BUYS
A CHAPEL SEAT
UPPERCLASSMAN'S ORDER
Country Youth Does Not Want
To Miss \the Pleasure of
Chapel Attendance
An unidentified freshman unwittingly
caused one of the upperclassmen's
fondest dreams to materialize last %
Saturday. He was first seen in earnest
conversation with a student who has
languished within the classic walls of
the temple of learning for two or more
years. At the close of the interview the
rat is reported to have worn a look of
deepest gratitude for the information
which he had received. He proceeded
to trip gaily across the campus with
that graceful stride which aided him
, so m rounding up his father'* cows,
until he reached the office of the treasurer
of the University. Here he paused
to adjust his tie before entering.
Several minutes elapsed before he
came out and when he did there was a
malevolent gleam in his eye.
