college drinking
mot eliminated
* "College drinking^ has not yet been
completely eliminated," according to the
results of a poll taken by the National
Student Federation of student leaders
scattered at schools in all sections of
the country*,
A summary of the poll evinced the
fact that 57 believed that "college drinking"
was increasing, 47 thought that it
was remaining static, 16 believed it decreasing,
while none thought that it had
been altogether eliminated. Student reaction
in the questionnaire on prohibition
was consistent with this trend of
thought, since 68 favored modification,
38 voted for repeal and 23 endorsed
rigid enforcement.
The student leaders questioned believe
that the United States should take
a position of leadership in the world
fight for disarmament. They were also
in favor of a protective tariff, although
the vote for free trade was very great.

HOBO POET IS I
CHAPELSPEAKER
JAMES MAftlSOl* VISITOR
Tells of Many Travels; ts Nafive
Of QDdifortii*
"I am not the? Ufa* of Hoboe*;. bflt< i l
am at present the? onljr duke in- the' hohio
kingdom."
James Madison* Hobo poet and a member
of the International' Itinerant Work
crs Union of Hoboes of- America, smiled
as he made the above statement; Tliis
member of a floating royalty was a' vis*
itor upon the campus for several dfeys
the past week, speaking- before chapelTuesday
morning a"nd: to other organisations
on the canipur lfcter.
This 47-year-old son* of the open road;
is a very interesting thlker and lias some
corking experiences to- relate. Having
traveled across the' states- 65 times- and'
crossed "the big pond" to; visit the continent
and England, this cosmopolite'
calls the world His- playground and' the
means of conveyance that' lte uses are
strange. He is a confirmed- "rider of the
rails," traveling dfc luxe beneath' a Pullman
dining car.
The Hobo Poet; which is hisv road!
name, a thing which every member of'
the union possesses, is familiar with
most any phase of life, literature, or
athletics, ranging from the wise words
of Voltaire to the jargon of the hobo.
As a result of frequent visits to world
fairs, art galleries and his wide range of
travel, Madison has acquired considerable
education, which is evident to his
listener.
He writes poems on handkerchiefs
and these he exchanges for handouts at
mealtime.
"Whenever I have to go to a house
for a handout, I offer to do some kind
of work to pay for the feed. It creates
a good impression on the person giving
you the feed."
Attired in his clothes of the road,
which consist of a blue suit, a light
gray cap, brown overcoat, and a red tie;
this gray haired wanderer warns young
men not to leave their homes and become
bums, hoboes or tramps. He has been
married twice and is a grandfather.
Whenever he has settled down to the
domestic urge, something has broken up
his happy home and he has wandered off
again.
Madison is a native of California, and
left home when a young boy to roam.
"The wanderlust has always been in me
and I cannot stop. I go anywhere I want
to and take life as I find it. There is
nothing dull in my life. Every day is different."
"I call myself a poet, but when I say
those words I hear the bones of Milton
and Shakespeare rattling in their graves.
When I say I write doggerel, everyone
snickers. So I just admit I'm the Hobo
Poet and go along my way," and with a
cheery smile the footloose man was on
(lis way.

i City far
Fraiwrf* Grit**!#; author of tK?f current
best* seller, "Tide* of Malvern,"
was1 in Columbia- several days rtccmly;
visiting Dit Yattes Snowden. It* wa# unknown
tb mtty latsAi sheet that' the yoong 1
celebrity was- Irarbomfc in the city;, since J
he came her* rtepressfy to work ort> HI* jnext
wrrel.1 j
The setting of this is- tb' de&l< with- tHe* i]
low coUntty- before and- during rfccon- j,
jstruction, Beaufort being the theme. jj
T'Tides- of Malvern" is' an engrossing j,
Ichroniclb of an old Carolina' family* 5
jearly settling in Charles Town. It car- \
n'es them from the Yemassee Wars Up i
jtb spring, 1930.
! The author, at practically any age,. \
jwould seem young to write such a com- j,
prehensive study. He is rather* juvenile,
having a paltry twenty-eight years tb his ^
credit; He has shiny black hair, a brow '
of noble dimensions and the least self- \
conscious mustache almost ever seen on \
one so young. The color scheme of the j
whole is patriotic?red lips* white teeth f
and1 really blue eyes. He has long i
.crooked fingers and a grip like a rock- [
crusher. ^
Although born and reared in Albany, 1
he was early imbued with a romantic |
love of the South through his paternal
grandmother. She came to Nashville dur- j
ing the Civil War and though returning !
jNorth', remained an ardent rebel to the
disgust of all the family except her small i
grandson, who has ever cherished the
"Lost Cause." But let him speak for him- *
self; 1
"I was born, as you say, at Albany,
and likewise attended Union College for '
one year, which was all I could afford to '
give to education. For several years I '
was a reporter, a banker and an editorial .
reader for inspiration pictures, which
have since broken up. Having saved some
money, I decided to try my hand at
writing. I came South to get away from
my own country and come to a writing
field that I could approach without too
many preconceptions and prejudices."
He has very definite ideas about the
negro, which lie confesses may seem
radical now. He is convinced that as in
life, so in literature, their best and hap- I
piest place is in the background. He is
attempting to bring this out in his next
book, which will be off the presses early
next year.
"You haven't asked me how I like Columbia,"
be reproached lightly, "I think I
it's swell."
Which may or may not mean anything
considering that this third book is to
deal with the cotton mills.
