Students Pw Pranks in W* 4 :v V 4 ,.s 11 As Adam said to Eve when Cain shot bel, "boys will be boys." Wc might Id that this is especially true when ie noun "boy" is modified by the Ijective "college." Since the founding of South Caroia College there are talcs of the anks played by the students. The inter months of January and Februy, when the boys have to stay in>ors most of the time, have always :en a season for periodic uprisings. In the old days of the Commons ystem there was a revolt about this me every year against the food at ewards' hall. In 1812 the students, red of the meat they had to eat, capired a steer destined for the table* hey decorated his horns with wreaths F flowers, and with appropriate cerelonies drove him down to the Conarce and drowned him as a sacrifice > the river god. The famous "Biscuit ebellion" in 1853 ended the Com10ns Sytem. A common diversion in the early lys was "Black Riding." A crowd of udents would hire horses or mules, id, disguising themselves in black >bes, ride through the campus with trches making as much noise as posble. Serenading was frequent and all the lore fun because the serenaders lould have been in their rooms and light be caught. Dr. Marion Simms :11s a story of serenading at Barbamille, a famous school for young ladies ear Columbia, with tin pans and horns istcad of musical instruments. The rincipal, Dr. Marks, fired on the stuents who tried to return his fire, but >rtunately the musket failed to go ff. The faculty members have always cen the "goats" of student pranks. >nce President Maxcy, hearing that is coach was to be carried off, hid ?side. The students, laughing and Uking about what a great joke it rould be on the President, dragged the oach about two miles and were about 3 leave in high glee. Then out stepped )r. Maxcy and told them that he had njoyed the ride but would like for tiem to take him home. President Henry announced one day l Chapel that there were too many ogs on the Campus and they must be xpelled. Next morning several dogs rcre found suspended from the horse lcks. Investigation showed that the tudents had changed the President's rder from "expulsion" to "suspenion." ;0LF CONTEST PLANNED BY Y >RIZES TO BE AWARDED TcNare, Hence, and Sneeling Hold Official Low Scores All miniature golfers at the University ill get a chance to prove their ability cek after next when the college golf jursc will hold a tournament. Beau arsh, manager of the course, has charge f the contest. "This tournament is held chiefly to ,'ttle the question of whether all miniatre golfers are liars or do just liars lay such golf," Mr. Marsh said. "Sev*al of the students ~ay that they are the ;st on the campus and several hundred thers know that they arc, but have been >o modest to make it known. Many ave been laboring under the illusion that they make a hole in one, it is talent, the other fellow makes' it, it is luck, he tournament is supposed to settle all icse questions and produce a university liniature golf champion." According to Mr. Marsh, par on the >ursc is twenty-nine. To qualify for the urnament the player must make a score f forty. The average player usually irns in a score of thirty-five. The try-outs for the tournament will i held next week with fifty co-eds and hundred men competing. Those quali'ing in the try-outs will compete in the lurnament week after next. A prize ill be awarded the champion and three her prizes will be competed for. Iv. E. McNare from the City By The ea has the official low score of twentyvo, while Harry Hence and Tracy neeling of Columbia tie for second ace with a score of twenty-four.

The course is opatcd for students by the University . M. C. A. Much interest has been shown in the urse since its inception and keen rivalry expected in th/e approaching tournaent. - lied Many 1 Olden Days ( Several boys once undertook to pick i] one of Dr. Flinn's turkeys. Knowing who was guilty the Professor invited j, them to dinner and served turkey 1 v Dr. Thomas Cooper had a horse ^ named Blanche, who was often painted f and had her tail shaved. When Blanche 'j died it was proposed that she be c honored by a public funeral and holi- 0 day. 1, The fact that the professors usually 1 tried to catch the offender added zest I to the escapade. Once Professor o Leiber, pursuing a nimble student, stumbled over a pile of bricks. Getting * up rubbing his bruised shins, he ex- 0 claimed, "Mein Gott, all dis for two tousant tollar." i Classes were never met on April Fool's Day. The story is told on Dr. ^ Park that the old gentleman, for- s getting the date, started out across the 1 Campus to his classroom. One of his 1 students seeing him called out, "April Fooll" "April Fool yourself 1" he re- ' plied. "I am not going to my class. ' I am going up town/,' ^ A famous April Fool trick was to . remove the old wooden steps to the . Chapel so that the Professors would have to walk in on a plank. Stealing the Chapel bell was also popular. t There has always been an unfortu- s nate feeling of antagonism between a the town and the college. If a student was arrested he had only to yell "college 1" and his fellows would come running. A college boy in jail always meant a riot, and the city police have never been allowed on the Campus. A famous character who will doubtless be remembered by many students now on the Campus was Miss Pony Sloanc, who kept a boarding house on Pendleton Street. The students were always up to some devilment with Miss Pony. One famous incident was the time Mr. "Jim" Fowles and Mr. "Andy" Clarkson carried off her gate and hid it on the Campus. They were convicted of petit larceny. When Davis College burned a few years ago, one noble student heroically entered the English office, and, coming out with Webster's Unabridged, announced that he had saved the English language. Professor Yates Snowden will tell you many tales about "those wretched Sophomores" who make Freshmen 'phone him for help in Math, and other officials will tell you similar tales.

Best, Associated Press writer, before the class n Journalism 23, Thursday morning. Mr. Best, a former student in journalsm at the University, explained the workings of the Associated Press and he manner in which it carries news rom one end of the world to the other. Pouching briefly upon the organization f the AP, he gave the class some idea f the force and means employed to deiver the daily news of the world to some 2,000 members of the AP found in the Jnited States. The AP has 160,000 miles f telegraph wire in this country, bindng the newspapers of the nation into he greatest news gathering association >n the face of the globe. Columbia has two AP franchises; The ttate and The Record both being members of the association. At the same time, Columbia is the state office for the AP . ervice. AM state news comes through he local office and is then telegraphed o all state dailies receiving the news. The local office of the AP in Columbia las three editors, the mail editor, the light editor, and the correspondent, fhese men are responsible for the state tapers receiving the news that is of vital ntcrest to South Carolinians. In addition o this office personnel, a telegraph oprator is also employed to handle the vire. In the local office is a machine hat telegraphs the news automatically, ending twice as many words per minute is the Morse, wire.
