By Faith Brewer Yes, every college boy hap an ideal girl picked out, or if he hain't it's his own fault, for there are types and varieties galore. This can be seen by just glancing around on our campus every day. But Carolina boys do not limit their ideals to types that appear on our campus. They have their ideas as to what girls should be, and doubtless have wandered far away to pick their ideal. Prominent students have been interviewed?one way or another?and their ideals have been learned. Here they are, co-eds. Get ready to get your man. Boom 1 Whoopee 1 YATES WILLIAMS, President of the Student Body, favors the girl who cai\ meet him on his own intellectual plane and who is frank, broadminded and independent to a certain degree. He says "You don't appreciate what you don't have to work for," so his girl will have to be a little popular. Yates dislikes babyish girls, gossipers, "stringers," and girls who seek publicity. He likes for "woman to be a woman, and not try to be a man." He doesn't care if a girl doesn't dress expensively as long as she dresses neatly and inconspicuously. He prefers brunettes with brown eyes who are of medium height, and about his own age, and who are not "simple" or "tomboyish." MASON BRUNSON, JR., Editor-inChief of the Garnet and Black, says, "My ideal is an essentially beautiful, preferably small of stature, healthy, appealing, charming girl. She has that innate understanding^ and intuition which is characteristic of woman; she has a well developed brain, a sense of humor, and a perfectly balanced outlook on life in general. She has a high appreciation of the fine arts, good taste and good judgment, and last, although not least, she . is very fond of me." WILSON WELDON, President of Senior Class, prefers girls who are friendly, "lovable and cute." Brown eyes, dark wavy hair are the most desirable features in his ideal. He likes them slightly athletic^ an artist on the "ivory keys," and a good speller. And by no means is she to continually pull wisecracks while with him. Blue dresses are an asset to his ideal. "And by all means she must not be indifferent to my affections," he adds. KENNETH GRIMSLEY, Vice-President of the Student Body, says, "My ideal isn't exactly tangible, she is someone to dream about and to .inspire me rather than someone to attain. 'Her disposition is like mine and she enjoys and likes the things I like. Girls that smoke and drink are all right to play around with, while I am single, but I won't have any of that after I'm married." "BASHFUL BOB" GRESSETTE, captain of the football team, says, "I am just a simple country youth who hasn't been around girls enough to know what I like;" The only definite information he would give was that he likes nice, friendly girls whom he can respect, and who will respect him. Bob admits that he is holding out on the girls. He is either the strong, silent, type naturally, or a pretty good imitation of Cal Coolidge. NIGEL LEAGUE, head cheer leader, holds his ideal above all other things. If he could but find her, her choice should be in preference to his own. She must be healthy} very musical, and know how to cook and keep house well. Although she will not have it to do herself, she must be able to supervise others. Nigel says, "If she is going to wear my ring she must not wear some other fellow's bracelet for she must love me alone. I don't want a girl who has distributed her affections over a whole area of boys for I have never conducted myself in that manner. I shall fall back on her for all affection and love and shall expect her to be my cheerful hel-^ per and comrade in all things^' ROBERT WAUCHOPE, Editor of The Carolinian, says his dream girl may be modern as long as she isn't futuristic. His girl must also be cultured, refined, poised, and tolerant, and although intelligent, not too smart. He doesn't care if she's "hard to get" as long as he can get her. Above all, she must respect and like Bob. As to her physical properties Bob prefers wavy blond hair^ delicate features, and a superb figure; another important prerequisite is that she be a good cook, and interested in archeology., . BILL HERBERT, Business Manager of The Gamecock, says he likes tall sophisticated blondes with hazel eyes, who are a happy medium between studious and otherwise. He says he doesn't mind if a girl "strings" boys as long a3 she is clever ^nough not to let < them discover it. He dislikes snobs, gossipers, and girls who are too interested in football. He likes girls who are pop- i ular, but who let their popularity speak 1 for itself. He prefers very womanly girls who could in a case of emergency i N ' % \ , R BLONDES t I TO LAST REPORT meet him on an intellectual plane, but j who have sense epough not to do so often. JOHN WHITE, President of the Y. M. C. says he would prefer a girl who rates tip-top socially, who is witty ^ to sarcasm, and who is able to discuss serious subjects with Some degree of integrity, for his dream girl. She should J be happy-go-lucky, the same wherever he meets her. He pictures her with 8 golden hair, and a mischievous twinkle ? in her blue eyes. With all she must have 1 a philosophy of life on a high scale, ^ to please John. v MONK SHAND, President of Ger- ^ man Club, has few demands to make of ^ his ideal, buf those are hard to find in * a girl, he says. "Monk" doesn't think- 1 modern girls appreciate all that's done for them, therefore his ideal must have 1 appreciation for everything; she must c have the ability to forgive big things as % well as little things; and a sense of N humor. Looks aren't essential but he c doesn't want her to be ugly, nor over ( popular. He wants a girl he can go hunting and fishing with, one who enjoys the < outdoors. .1 "My three pet hates are 'little pals,' 1 'Sisters,' and 'ideal girls.' But if you i insist, my ideal girl is any one who can < support me. "No money, no love," says ] MITCHELL MORSE, managing editor J of The Gamecock. '' < SAM TAYLOR, Vice-President of y the Y. M. C. A.? likes girls who are ] natural, witty, feminine, friendly, pleasantly refined, cultured, and good all- j round, who are reasonably popular, and who can provide enough competition to make it interesting. A girl to be popular with Sam should be of medium size, pleasingly plump, neatly dressed? healthy, ' with blue eyes and light brown wavy hair. He also likes girls who can dance, and take part in various activities, and who do not try to be superior. "My ideal isn't blonde and she isn't brunette," says BUFORD WORTHY, cheer leader. "She is plenty good-looking with blue eyes, medium brown hair, preferably long, and boy, she has loads of 'It.' My ideal girl doesn't smoke, although I like to go with other men's girls who do; shei dances, is somewhat athletic and has a finely developed brain, therefore she is broadminded." Blondes, blondes, more blondes, our old standby, BUDDY LAVAL, also pre- 1 fers them. "Pretty blue eyes, long wavy blond hair, good figure, a little athletic 1 ?not too strong for there will be roll- ' ing-pins in our house, and a little tem- 1 per. My ideal doesn't smoke, she doesn't drink^ she is just a tiny bit sophisticated and thinks herself too good for those things. She's an all-round good sport, 1 liked by both boys and girls but 'My Baby Just Cares for Me.' " i BILL LATHAM, Assistant Manager- 1 Editor of The Gamecock, likes girls i whose heads reach his shoulder; who ; have brown eyes and wavy brown hair, ? who are dainty and sweet but who have 1 a quiet sort of dignity; who have plenty of common sense^ but who are inclined to do foolish things. Above all, his dream girl must be able to cook a square meal. He says she must be a nice homelike girl who goes to Sunday School. She , must be reserved, poised, finished, stylish, and well dressed. She must have s a sense of humor and take part in the | extra-curricular activities of the campus, j u. a. c.

MISS DOUGLAS IS SERIOUSLY HURT President's Daughter is Thrown From Horse and Fractures Hip Last Sunday Miss Elizabeth Douglas, daughter of President and Mrs. D. M. Douglas, received a fractured hip Sunday afternoon in Hendcrsonville, N. C., when the horse she was riding shied and fell, pinning her under it. Dr. and Mrs. Douglas left Sunday night soon after hearing of the accident, with Mr. William Wagener, professor of English, who drove them to Hendcrsonville. They brought Miss Douglas to Columbia to the hospital Monday night. Doctors say it will take the fractured hip some time to heal. Riding down a bridle path near Fassifern School for Girls, where she has been teaching, her horse stumbled and fell. She was filling her second term is teacher at the school after studying it Converse College and at the University. u. s. c. ?

' ^ % - ; MORSELS I By MORSE LINES ON A TABLE Little indentations, Little grains of sand Make a writing table? Well, you understand! The Euphradian Literary Society reception Tuesday night was a howling, shrieking success. It was almost as funny as the regular meetings. / "There goes one of the army of unemployed," said the campus cynic as the recruiting officer strode past. An expert dancer, yet never invited out. That's the insidious thing about being a stranger in a strange town. The new dollar books are one good result of Henry Ford's influence on American life. And if there isn't anything humorous in that, there should oughta be. No, Adelaide, we don't like burlesques of dowagers. They aren't half as funny as the real, thing. The vilest hypocrite we know is the man who crooks his 'litle finger and says, "as it were," while eating peas with a knife. Horowitzki Q. Gogglenose, the world's biggest fool, has made a bet that he can get married within ten days to any girl he pleases. These are the reasons Mr. Gogglenose gave when interviewed by Rake Brewer, GamecoCk reporter: "I'm not so terribly hideous to look at, I'm not feeble-minded, I'm not as morally depraved as I might b?, and I'm not in the poor house, yet. What more could a young girl desire?" We have our own ideas on the subject and could tell you very easily, but it would do you more good to look it up for yourself. English Depart Composer c How many students know that our Alma Mater was composed by the head of the English department at the University one early summer morning in the mountains of North Carolina? The question of a suitable song for the University was brought up by Doctor Gordon Moore in a faculty meeting back in 1910. After some discussion it was decided to award a prize of fifty dollars to the student or faculty member submitting the composition best setting forth the spirit and devotion of the students. The meeting was adjourned and the subject was temporarily dropped from the minds of the professors. The next scene of action occurs in the bedroom of Dr. Wauchope. In the early hours of the morning his dreams were rudely interrupted. He arose and smuggled himself downstairs stealthily so as not to wake his family and transmuted his dream to paper. This turns out later to be the refrain of our present Alma Mater. The first verse was then written and sung at breakfast the next morning for the first time. The first verse was followed by three more and was accepted by the faculty the next fall for the University song. The author says that the plan of the song is as follows: the first verse typifies the upperclassman looking back over his freshman days; the second the friendships formed at college; the third the alumnus; and the fourth looking u. s. c. DEAN DANCERS AREORGANIZED Mrs. Dean Directs Class In Chapel Every Afternoon; Many Members The Dean Dancers of the University of South Carolina, consisting at present of sixteen members, have been organized and classes are under way.

MBd? <?>.: CHILD BOTHERS PROF. SNOWDEN ' How about buying some Christmas seals, mister?" If you don't believe that the annual drive for the sale of Christmas seals is on with a bang, ask Doctor Yates Snowden, retired head of the history department. Dr. Snowden was enjoying a cool shave at one of the local barber shops. Some children came in and asked loudly if anyone wanted to buy any seals. No answer I The children went around to each customer with only moderate luck. Then came the doctor's turn. A little girl approached his chair and poked a bony finger in his side, repeating the question. Still no answer 1 But the little girl refused to be discouraged. Going to the other side of the chair, she poked another finger into the professor*s other side. "Do you want any Christmas seals," she repeated. " ~ it, no 1 And go on home and let me enjoy my shave," the doctor said in effect. Yes, Professor Snowden, it does seem that children should be reared to have more respect for a man's comfort. u. s. c. FORMER STUDENT DIES IN ASHEVILLE Miss Margalee Roberts, a former student of the University, died in Asheville last week after a period of declining health. Sho. was 21 years old, and had been forced to leave school at the conclusion of last semester due to ill health. Funeral services were held at her home itf Lexington. Miss Roberts is survived by her motht*\ Mrs. Mollie Roberts, and brother, Newman, of Leesville. tment Head )f Alma Mater | forward to the new centennial. The first and second verses are best known and most widely sung. Dr. Wauchope is remembered as having composed the Missouri Alma Mater in 1895 and which is still being sung at the school. This song was one of the first to be composed to the tune of "Annie Lisle" better known perhaps as the Cornell song.
