CHICKEN TIPS I The popular campus conception of the meaning of an education has materially altered since the passing of examinations?or, as one should say since the passing of the period during which examinations were held. ?-* Dame Fashion has instigated a rumor throughout the campus that garnet and black caps with small visors will be extremely fashionable for freshmen this semester?in fact this type of cap is conceded to be an indispensable part of "what the welldressed (fresh)man will wear." It has been whispered around that Professor Bass .will tell his class a t good joke and then shoot a quiz into them while they are still smiling. It is a matter of considerable conjecture, however, as to whether the smile lasts throughout the quiz. Rumor has it that Mr. Bell has appointed a committee to investigate why so many students became homesick immediately after examinations. Personal opinion on the matter: Some students acquired the mistaken impression that the officials were not sufficiently effusive in their display of Southern hospitality when they welcomed them back to the fold of learning. Hence, the said students, feeling, erroneously of course, that their welcome was not as warm as might have careen, very politely, yet coldly, termin ^ited their visit here. _a? "3 ^ "Solicitor" Brown has met some<->thing new'in court procedure and is considerably puzzled by it. He is now fij*in doubt as to the exact relation of 2 the defense attorney to the defend 3 ant. He was confronted with this doubt during an unusual session of a specially /i convened court for the trial of two B novices at the art of acquiring an edu5 cation. The defendants were found guilty of all charges preferred and the sentence of the court was an uplifting "lecture." To the surprise of "Solicitor" the gentlemen who had been retained as attorneys for the defense reversed their positions and "lectured" their clients themselves. It has been reported that some of the students, who are soon to debate in favor of free trade among the nations, contend that free trade would reduce the price of books. A freshman was asked the other day if he knew who the last May Queen was. He replied that he did not and that he expected to "bust" history again this semester. In a recent investigation it was found that 21 per cent of the students are coming here four years to get an education and 79 per cent are residing here for four years for the purpose of deferring their education by that same length of time. Since the 'Legislature is in session, students now have some place to spend their leisure time besides in the library. With tuition raised to $100 several more students might become homesick. It might be well for the Legislature to amend this bill to provide for biennial sessions for Carolina as well as for the two Houses. u. s. c. Approximately fifty juniors have not had their pictures made for the "Garnet and Black." February 15th has been set as the last date that such photos will be accepted, according to Editor Brunson. u. s. c. A XYLOPHONE A Xylophone on the campus! Yes, and there's a real flesh-and-corpusclc player with it. Soft notes, soft enough to attract those who would not be tempted as Ulysses of old, and deep notes, stentorian in their depth, have been heard sounding out over the campus at twilight lately. Love-sick swains oogle their eyes wistfully toward Rutledge as the harmonious notes peal out in perfect rhythm. Even solemn pedagogue, unsmiling in their erudition, hesitate when passing by that part of the campus adjacent to the artist's room. In fact, even John Moroso was seen to wipe a tear from misty eyes, as Sweet Adeline" brought up memories of the past. But Moroso, pedagogues, or lovesick swains do not concern Sidney Abrams, junior, of*Lake City, as he strives to perfect his art. Do You lj**. 4JCW| -Rjf\ H.
