. =r? ' ; -? ? ^ "" W% " Representatives Ignorat ~~ 7~ /. "You can take the boy out of the i country, but you can't take the country ! out of the boy." The truth of this statement might be questioned, but some of the experiences of Willjam Columbus Herbert and Wilson Osbourne Weldon on their recent trip to Pittsburgh certainly go to show that it is at least difficult for some boys to become accustomed to new surround^ ings. Herbert, after walking on the city streets for one day, contracted an infection in his foot and had to wear a ' bedroom slipper for ihe rest of the trip. It is rumored that he was standing in the ihiddle of the street gazing at a nearby skyscraper when a street car came along and grazed his foot, cutting it slightly. When asked about the truth of the rumor, "Bill" refused to comment for publication. The editor, Weldon, also must come in for his share of attention (if he sees this, a certain associate editor will be looking for a job). It seems that a young lady called "Sue," whose further identity cannot be ascertained, invited him to a party to take place- while he was on the trip. What makes one talk in his sleep, the reader can determine for himself, but the fact remains that it is a fact that Wilson was apologizing to "Sue" for missing her party, at least half of the g night on the way up to the "Smoky I City." S WHALING SPEAKS I IN CHAPEL SUNDAY l_j "Ex-President Of Seminary Gives Talk On Choice Of Vocation o 3 On Sunflay night Dr. Thornton Whaling spoke to a large number of students in the chapel on the subject, "Choosing a Vocation." In the course of his speech, Dr. 'Whaling said that a person in choosing his life work should first consider his aptitudes and abilities. Then he should ask himself what the chosen work will do for him and what it will do for society. Dr. Whaling was president of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary* in Columbia before its removal from the city. He was a classmate and fraternity brother to Woodrow Wilson at Davidson College. He is now retired and living in the city. TYPEWRITING and MIMEOGRAPHING At Low Rates MRS. MOON Caippus Post Office Buy Yellow Cab Ticket Books .

By bringing about this better school spirit, the cheering of the past few years has been improved. The sale of frosh caps has been conducted through the co-operative store under the guidance of this fraternity. u. s. c. Fraternity Men Better Students, : Conference Finds The scholastic average of all fraterlity men throughout the country is lighcr than the general scholastic iverage of all male undergraduates, iccording to a statement made today >y Alvan E. Duerr, Chairman of the cholarship committee of the Interraternity Conference. This statement vas made in a report at the annual necting of the - Conference at the lotcl Pennsylvania, New York City, o delegates of seventy national fracrnities having a total membership of 50,000 men, of whom 60,000 arc unergraduates. The conference, which has during lie last twenty-one years directed its fTorts toward developing college fraernities as a co-operative element in he American system of college eduation, has for the past five years laid peci^l emphasis on scholarship. "Each one of these years?' Mr. )uerr declared, "has shown consistent nprovement over its predecessor. For tie college year 1929-1930 the comlete returns from 125 institutions aving a male enrollment of 200,000 liow that the fraternity men's averge is somewhat more than one per ent. higher than the average of all icn undergraduates, and almost two er cent, higher than the- average of on-farternity men." u.

A year or two ago, we could put in gasoline by the five gallons, but now, with these little cars, we have to do it in very small li quantities. it "The other day a fellow drove up in g one of those Austins, and I asked him o what he wanted. He looked at some sort it of an indicator and said, 'A quart of gas h and a pint of Quaker State.' How do they expect us filling station men to F make a living at that rate?" \ Information on the subject is lacking, F but it is wondered if the owner in ques- tl tion is Professor McColl. V u. s. c.
