UNCLE AESOP QU
WHILE VISIT]
Three rousing cheers that shook the '
ysquirrels out of the trees from Sumter
. street to LeConte startled the campus
the other day. This was the appropriate
greeting given by a reception committee
from the faculty and the football team
to the great Aesop of fable fame. This *
hoary old gentleman hitched his ox cart
to a fire plug and bowed with archaic
dignity to the assembled mobs.
Dr. Yates Snowden and Captain Bob n
Gressette undertook to escort the visitor
to the many spots of interest, historic and
otherwise, around the University.
At the Woman's Building, they paused a
for the honorable Aesop to give vent to b
some of his famous quotations. "The
route of all evil generally has alluring
curves," said he, "And a girl of no ^
principle is often able to draw a lot of d
interest. The reason that money talks is
that there is a woman's head on most
coins. The only time some girls stop to h
reflect is when they powder their noses. n
Most men would rather have two girls
of sixteen than one of thirty-two." As he
bade the fair sex farewell, he warned F
them: "Keep that school girl complexion ^
?out of the rain." F
The next stop was the Mess Hall, and,
never at a loss for words, Aesop quoth:
"Some boys reduce by taking exercise, f<
others cat at the mess hall. Everything F
comes to him who orders hash. A bird F
in the hand is bad table manners." h
To the campus joker, he said, "Pro- S
fessors may be absent-minded, but they F
never forget to flunk anyone."
Of course this is only a pipe dream,
but where there's smoke, there's bound
to be a flame. ^

DERATE FEATURES
SOOETYRROGRAM
Featured by a debate on the legislature,
the meeting of the Euphradian
literary Society of December 2 was
declared by President Brown to be an
unusually successfi^l one.
The complete subject of the debate
was, Resolved: "That the South
Carolina Legislature Should Meet
Biennially." William Valentine and
F. F. Griffiths, on the negative, were
given the judges' decision over the affirmative
team, W. B. Coan and
Jimmie Brailsford.
As extemporaneous speaker, R. L

Chest and gave the details of its organization.

Robert Bailey were voted in as new
members.

Coach Cody To
Leave Clemson
1 he entire Clemson student body were
stunned last week when Coach Josh
Cody announced that he would not return
to Clemson next year. "Big Josh"
s the man who put Clemson on the foothall
map and to lose him would probably
prove disastrous to the Tiger athletic
teams.
Although Cody is reported to be at
odds with some of the ambitious alumni
the entire student body is solidly behind
him. Shortly after his resignation
was received, the Clemson Tiger appeared
in a special edition requesting
that he be kept at Clemson.

CARO LINES I
by m. a.
The excellent bit of verse printed below
was written exclusively for this
column by Mr. Ira N. Bars, Retired.
Mr. Bars has been retired for six
years by the government for his outstanding
work in safecracking.
He has contributed many articles and
poems to the leading papers and magazines
in the country, but they were all rejected.
The poetical effusion below is the first
of his work to appear in print, and will
probably be the last.
Mr. Bars is at present residing at the
National Home for Retired Yeggmcn
at Atlanta.
"I used to crack safes,"
Says clever Jack Jones,
"But the cops got wise ,
And now I crack stones."
Soph.: "She said I had Lagniappe."
Fresh.: "Have you tried Listerine for
it?" We
heard from a reliable source that
it costs about $2,000 a day to run the |
University. Just think of the thousands
we are going to save during the Christmas
holidays.
"Thar's gold in them thar fills!" said
the dentist.
"Has Meyer changed much in the years
he has been away?"
"No, but he thinks he has."
"How so?"
"He is talking about what a fool he IT
used to be."

Andy: "What is your profession,
Amos ?"
Amos: "I'se a relay expert."
Andy : "How is dat ?"
Amos: "Well, T lays down one night,
gets up the next day, and then relays
the following night." r
Senior: "Professor Jones is a peripatetic
old fellow."
Soph.: "You're certainly right. He
busted me, too."
