Mary Cobb Originates and Executes
Unique Notebook On
American Poet
?___.
Miss Mary Cobb, a junior at the University,
has recently completed a most
individual and unprecedented "notebook."
Miss Cobb, .who is taking a course of
study on the famous American author,
Edgar Allen Poe, under Dr. Havilah
Babcock, conceived the unique idea of
constructing a pamphlet illustrating
Poe's extensive use of colors.
She perused entirely his voluminous
, works, extracted every line in which he
names a color, and illustrated each with
an intricate and fanciful design, shaded
accordingly. These quotations and illustrations
combined in notebook form constitute
a beautiful and attractive, as
well as an educational, leaflet.
Miss Cobb points out a characteristic
I of Poe's works, which as a rule, is ov|
erlookcd by most people. She introduces
I her subject thus:
"Throughout all qf his works, Poe
I makes use of many colors. In few of his
I stories, poems, and even his essays, does
I he neglect to mention some color. In
I one poem, AI AAraaf, he uses nine?
I red, blue, green, yellow, opal, gold, pur|
silver and violet. He is a connoisI
seur of color scheme and color arrangeI
ment. Black, one of his favorites, seldom
appears without white. Likewise,
crimson and gold, and green and pink
are associated. Other colors used are
opal, ebony, azure and scarlet."
Miss Cobb is to be congratulated
upon her original, and in modern paraphrase,
"different" achievement.

SOCIAL FEATURES
LITERARY SOCIETY
Euphrosyneans Enjoy Informal
Program; Meet Next After
Completion of I?xams
Instead of the usual program, a delightful
social hour was enjoyed Wednesday
afternoon from four 'til five
by the members of the Euphrosynean
Literary Society. This broke the
routine of the regular meetings.
Dorothy Marsh, President, announced
that there will be no meeting
for the next two weeks, on account
of examinations. Officers will be
elected for the coming term at the
first meeting in February; only those
who have paid their dues will be allowed
to vote.

in to Tiib Gamecock office: "Lost: One
poster advertising the Alpha Kappa
Gamma Carnival. Last seen posted in
the chapel. If said poster is returned to
The Gamecock office and the loser receives
credit for the work in the art department,
the poster again will be put
up in a convenient place. The finder

MORSELS I
By MORSE
We've just gotten our desk cleaned
off and the holiday mail sorted out
into three waste baskets, following the
biblical injunction to try all things
and hold fast to that which seems the
least of the many evils. And just as
an example of the dreadful Philistine
commercialism that has thrust itself
upon all things, even the holiday spirit,
we reprint several Christmas card
lyrics received from the literary societies.
We started to include some
from sundry other organizations on
the campus, but they were just too
awful, even worse than these:
j
If you would have
A lotta fun,
Join up with the /
Euphradiyun.
* \
The Clariosophics
Send their greetings,
And hope that you'll atTend
their meetings.
Oh, had I Austin Dobson's touch
And Casanova's passion,
I could not love thee dear so much
Were you not a Hypatian.
)
Although you're passing fai)r and sweet,
'Tis not for that I'm at your feet:
I am your slave, your serf, your peon,
Because you're an Euphrosynean.
/
(They would say " 'an' Euphrosynean,"
pedantic old maids that they are,
though the Hypatians had much more
provocation and much better possibilities.)
On the whole, though, we think
that the vile mercenary advertising destroys
the naive lyrical freshness and
spontaneity inherent in the subtle flow
of the meter and the clever inevitability
of the rhymes. Just another example
oi immortal poetry ruined, a
beautiful thing sullied, a sacred
medium desecrated, alas, b'hoowahooo!
Being big-hearted and altruistic and
noble and civic pride and all that, we
do hereby offer a pair of plaid spats
to the man, woman or child who can
expurgate the above verses and give
'em back their pristine charm. Acourse
you don't hafta do it if you don't
wanta, we nevei did believe in forcing
art on people, it only makes 'em hate
it, but all the same it would show
mighty good taste, though ever since
our seventh dream girl said nothing
doing we've been so cynical we don't
expect anything but a lotta silence,
indifference, apathy, torpor, stupor,
soporificity if there is such a word,
etc., see the last two words of the
paragraph above.
u. s. c.
Mary: Why do you use green lipstick ?
Lou: My boy friend is a railroad
engineer.
CAC: I'm a practical farmer. Mention,
if you can, one thing I can't do on the
farm.
USC: Can you lay an egg?
Co-ed: Are my lips the first you have
ever kissed?
Sigma Nu: Yes, and the very nicest,
too.

There are many tales about the country
bumpkins who forget to shut their <
mouths in astonishment over the sights
of the city, but have you seen the Columbians
stare when one of their bright,
shiny, new street cars comes clanging
down the street?
There are two of them, both spotless
red and white and they go from the
Union Station up North Main Street and
back. A twenty-minute round trip for
twenty cents.
Street car rides are the latest sport
for Carolina students. One Tri-Delta
