YOUNGSTER SHAVES TO GET SHOTGUN BABCOCK'S TEN YEAR OLE Desire for Shotgun Motive foi "Huck Finn" Babcock's Efforts Ten-year-old "Huckleberry Finn" Babcock had for days begged and pled with his elders for a shotgun, but to no avail, "No!" Mrs. Babcock had emphatically reiterated to his endless and innumerable queries. And "No!" for the ?th time, exploded Dr. Havilah Babcock, customarily the debonair English professor. "Well, then, dad, when can I have one?" Dr. Babcock smiled. "When you begin shaving," he responded pleasantly. Apparently "Huck" was convinced that further efforts to obtain his heart's desire would be useless, for lie allowed an unusually long?for him?period of time to elapse without renewing his petition. Then came the astonished voice of Mi*s. Babcock, "What in the world is Huck doing? He's got lather all over his face!" Undoubtedly, Dr. Babcock being a dutiful and conscientious parent, will present to his son the well-earned arid longyearned-for shotgun. During the holidays, Ralph Newman attended the national convention of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity in Kansas City, Mo. Jack Hamilton and Kddie Parker visited the A. T. O. house recently. Billy King was the official delegate tc the national convention of Pi Kappa Alpha which was held in Memphis, Tenn., during the holidays. Claude Martin, Wayne Shannon, Francis Hope, Emmett Gayle, and Chick Lillard also attended. The P. K. A. pledges gave a party or Thursday night before the holidays began for the members of the chapter. The Kappa Alpha house was visitec by several alumni last week-end. Among them were: Joe Park, Jim Rhodes Guerry Stukes, "Slick" McLeod, Beverlj Montgomery, and Gorden Edens. u. s. c. WEEKLY CALENDAR SATURDAY 8:00?Boxing in Field House, Carolina vs. P.

It takes an O. O. Mclntyre with a dash of Elinor Glyn to do justice to all the people encountered on a harm- J less little scoop trying to decide which j, 1 of the learned scientific dons really did 1 ' go to an organic meeting during the t holidays.

Bpth returned to the i city with gallant little tufts of hirsute ( bravado on their respective uppers.

They talked of punts and passes, * And matters rather tame; Until Cupid donned his noseguard And broke into the game. He quickly lined the couple up, And made them toe the mark; * And soon he had them going * With a scrimmage in the dark. The boy tried to kiss her, An amateur affair; But lost it on the fumble And only caught the air. The next one caught her cheek, The maid did shyly say: "You are penalized for holding i And likewise for offside play." I Then he tried another, I Succeeding nice and fine; I For then he made a touchdown k I Directly on the line. Then they sat In silence, i Communing soul to soul; < ( I But the parlor door flew open j , I And father kicked the goal. 1 , I Nora:?The author of this poem is un- i , I known.

In the person of John Jackson Brown, r., who hails from Rock Hill, the Senor Class has a student who is indeed a eader, and one who does not sacrifice ?is studies for student activities. Beginning in his freshman year, J. J. vas president of the Freshman Y. M. C. A. Council. In his sophomore year he eprcsented the Euphradian Literary Society in the Inter-Society Declamation :ontest and was also editor of the weekly paper for the Y. M. C. A. Since then, lie has held many of the leading campus honors, and now is one 3f the outstanding seniors. He is president of the Euphradian Society, is president and was founder of the Carolina Christian Service Club. He directs the deputation work of this club, and has instituted the practice of sending such cams to high schools of the State to put )n programs. He is at present president of Delta Chi Alpha, Christian Service fraternity. 3e is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, lational honorary leadership fraternity. Brown is indeed one of the hardest vorkers in the Senior Class, and if he :ontinues in his chosen work, the minisry, as hard worker as he has been in rollege, he will undoubtedly be a success. SALUDA REESE Saluda, a product of Columbia High, -arly showed signs of becoming a leader md a scholar. She was vice-president of ler graduating class from high school, md was one of the two honor graduates. She is president of the Hypatian Uterary Society, and has held several ather offices in that body. A few weeks ago she was elected into membership of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholarship fraternity, which is one of the highest honors a senior can receive. Besides being a member of Chi Omega, social sorority, she also belongs to Alpha Kappa Gamma, honorary leadership soro>ty. She entered Carolina in February, 1928, and will graduate in June, thus finishing her course in three and a half years. Saluda is indeed an example of a real scholar, a girl who is popular socially, and one who takes part in many other activities. She is friendly, and in every way a person whom one may well be proud to call a friend. u. s. c. . LEGISLATURE TO MEET WITHIN WEEK (Continued from page one) Ben Whaley, junior law student, comcs from Charleston county. Sam Pratt, last year, a Carolina student, was sent by York county to the house. James O. Shepherd, of the class of 1911, was elected Lieutenant-Governor of the State by an overwhelming majority. A more recent graduate of the University, J. C.

Many more Carolina alumni were sent to the legislature, but it is impossible to secure all of their names at present due to the fact that the legislative manual has not yet been completed.
