University of South Carolina Libraries
? I ' NEW LIBRARY OPENS IN DAVIS v>m ' ' -. i . : v ? romance languages >.j French, Spanish and Italian Classics Classified for Students The department of romance languages will open a circulating library in Davis college next week. All the recognized French, Spanish, and Italian classics, > reference books, and magazines will be available to students, and facilities have been provided for study as in the main library. W. J. Woods, student assistant in the romance languages department, will be in charge. It will be open from 3:00 to 5 :00 o'clock. The present library started from a miclcus presented by Dr. - Edward Southey Joynes, former head of the department of modern languages. For many years it was housed in the office of the department, but gradually oversowed into the adjdining classroom, where students were allowed to read the books but not to remove them. It was recently decided to permit the volumes to be taken out, and they have been classified and indexed to this end. Every card in the department index is duplicated in the index of the main library, to facilitate the use of the collection. u. s. c. alligators again beat gamecocks (Continued from page six) basket with one hand, and from then on the 'Gator team was never headed. Replacements entered the game at this point, with Bradley and Gutin going in for Florida, while DuPre and Adair were substituted' for Carolina. Soon after he entered the game DuPre exhibited some of his scintillating floorwork, dribbling through the entire 'Gator defense to sink a short one. The 'Gators were playing steady, heads-up ball at this point and steadily increasing their score. Freeman dashed into the game for the last few minutes of play, committed a personal foul and then cut loose with several of his customary long shots, two of which found the basket in spectacular fashion. Florida came back strong, dropping three successive baskets and the game was over, with Florida holding a ten-point lead, 42-32. Boineau, Green, and DuPre played outstanding ball for the Gamecocks, with Baker, Emelhainz and Clemons playing well for the 'Gators.

CAROLINA BOASTS VETERAN INFIELD (Continued from page Six) Bill lerry, is another candidate for first base. Archie Vaughn, Runt Porter anci lommy Reynolds will probably fight it out for second base. Vaughn, a star leadoff man and base runner, held the position last year. Porter held it the year before that and last year played quite a bit and hit over .300. Reynolds packs a tremendous punch for a man so small but his fielding reminds no one of Hugh Critz. However, lie can hit well in the pinches and this may help him. Buddy Laval will probably hold down his old place at short. Buddy has good arm and covers a fair amount of ground and can hit well. Few college players can hit as hard and as consistently as Laval If anything happens to him, Porter can be shifted to short and would probably give a very creditable showing. Happy Edens is expected to again hold forth at third. Edens did not play the brand of ball that was expected of him last year. It is expected that he will regain the form he showed his sophomore year when he led the club with the bat. Cooley King, of football fame, will also be a candidate for third base. -i u. 8. c. | CHICKEN TIPS | I One freshman on the campus is so I dumb that he cannot understand why the University is spending a fortune to build a new building for students to I slop to in the rain instead of spending just a little money to provide cement sidewalks leading to the building we already have. t If the Legislature can pass a law, as they have proposed to do, that will do away with the first year of college and thereby eliminate the possibility of such dumb freshmen as that, then they arc I not law makers; they are magicians. Students of Dr. Schayer"s hjTgiene I class have expressed a sincere desire that the newly-reinstated political pot does not "bubble over" too freely and destroy the principles of sanitation now I in effcct on the campus.. Woodworth Clum says that many college teachers are potential leaders of socialism because of their modest incomes. We hope the Legislature will bear this in mind and look out for our good professors for we would rather have them even as Economics teachers than as socialists. In the event of another war Carolina students will be wonderfully efficient soldiers in withstanding the poisoon gas attacks of the enemy due to their long and continuous practice in absorbing the dust from janitors' brooms. A small supply of dustdown would be cheaper than a hospital for? Recently a crew of men, emulating I Captain Kidd and his treasure hunters, butchered the scenery pf the campus for I a period of several weeks looking for a leak in the steam-heating system of the University. When asked what he thought concerning the venture, one of those embryonic Arthur Brisbanic newspapermen known as GamKcock heelers said that it was rather a long and troublesome search for a little hot air when there was so much of that same product so easily and cheaply available in The Ga m hxx)c k office. The proposition of the Legislature to make students pay $100 tuition and then lend it back to the poor students is just like telling a beggar that you will lend him two bits if he will give you a dollar. Personal nomination for the most collegiate college class in the world: Dr. I Babcock's English class, where students admit that they think and do things that I even Samuel Pepys would have hesitated to tell his classmates about.

Doctor Brown of Hunter College, has advised the co-ed that it would be more healthful to attend parties more often than she does, instead of staying in nights and studying. Co-eds at the University of Detroit have been forbidden to converse with the male students at any time on the campus. They had to give the men a chance to say something. \ If a girl can do 100 yards in 13 seconds, marry her, is the advice of a professor at Northwestern. They're Women Students The belief on the part of most college women that: / 1. Raisins are a better source of iron than eggs; * 2. The potato is the most fattening of foods: 3. Fat is more likely to result from drinking water with meals than from eating potatoes; 4. The toe-out method of walking is the best, and 5. The turkish bath is the best method of exercise, are examples of "amazing ignorance" among freshmen at Smith College, according to Dr. Frances Scott and Dr. Anna Richardson, of the Smith faculty. The two health specialists called the beliefs "popular misconceptions and superstitions among college women."?I. P. There may be! no water in a permanent wave but they sure have sunk many a man. Maybe you haven't heard about the absent-minded professor who forgot where he put his examination questions. Well, neither have we. Haver ford and Yale have contributed one-seventh of the college graduates listed in "Who's Who in America." Graduates of Haver ford live twenty per cent longer than most American men, according to a study made by Walter Bouerman of the class of 1924. ?Diamondback. Honor at Both Ends Only 360 cases of cheating were reported for the past year at Wesleyan University. This, of course, is part of the so-called honor system. The system works in two parts?not cheating and reporting those that do cheat. The latter half seems to work rather efficienlty. ?B. U. N. For the Folks Back Home A dean of McGill University says, "College men? Well, for one thing, I think, the gin-bibbling, rah-rah type is practically a myth. College men are too busy to be collegiate nowadays. So far as I have been able to observe, this university is represented by just as fine a type of manhood as in 'the good old days'." The dean of women at the University of Utah feels that college men are too busy to be collegiate. The average college man is too busying staying in college to learn tap dancing, harmony, auto decorating, cord labeling, slicker figuring, or any other of the so-called collegiate arts. (Which Ones, Doctor? That there were only about eight real universities in the United States was the view recently expressed by Dr. Nicholas Butler, president of Columbia University. HARD TIMES? Approximately $10,000,000 is being spent to rebuild the southern branch of the University of California on a new site which will give it in all about 6,400 acres of campus. The College for Men of the University of Rochester opened this year in its new $10,000,000 quarters on a former golf course at the southern limits of the city. The university's old quarters on the other side of the city have been given over to the College for Women. Yale is figuring on a new gymnasium which will cost in the neighborhood of $4,350,000 and will take about three years to complete. Did you know that there were 66 nationalities represented among the 14,000 students at Boston University? Seems like the I^eague of Nations would take it over. The Sigma Delta Chi all-press dance at Ohio State University cost the chapter only lc. Three Columbus newspapers paid all the expenses except lc, which one of them through an error did not pay. A member of the chapter paid the penny. : , Y:j* V-' v/v.:; i -i MJCtOCK I - All those who reported t< i "The Gamecock" office last Mon 1 day to secure positions as heel I ers must be certain to report thii I Monday afternoon at the sarru | time.

Co-eds Possess More Intuition Than M So Declares Authority In i dress To Scientific Group A I Canadian University A few University of South Care I students might think that the co-ech I their institution are not all that coulc desired in some respects, but if they I like their sisters at other schools I supposed to he, they at least have q intuition than their male classmates. In an address before a science gt I at the University of British Coluir I Dr. Irlma Kennedy expressed this st I ling thought: "The professor must member that the student's mind is o ten times better than his own." I Kennedy further stated that "the I fessor is commonly criticized for b abstracted, absorbed, theoretical, practical, selfish, careless, conceited, I tolerant and unsympathetic." I "Women and men think differen I Dr. Kennedy said. "In the lecture rt I a woman sometimes makes a ren which is quite original, but whicl four or five realms ahead of the I fessor's limit of thought." "Technical learning is often d mental to a woman's nature," conti Dr. Kennedy, "because it adds a fo side to her intellect, namely, inquis I intellect. Intuition is the main side i woman's mind." In concluding her address, Dr. 1 nedy remarked that British civiliz; is on the decline, and it would be n< I sary to look to the Orient for new ture. Girls Vary On Petting Viei I Carolina is one of the few of comparatively large co-ed schools in United States at which a poll has been taken and published in regard the views of the girls on such quesl as petting. Such a poll has attra much interest at other similar sell and throughout the country at larj In one of the more recent of such veys, conducted among the fresh ' women in Syracuse University by Eugenie Leonard, acting dean of men, some interesting findings were closed. l;or example: 28% admitted ing in love many times while only had been in love but once. Howe 31% insisted they had never beer love at all. 62% said that their mothers a; with them in their attitude towards ting and necking. And 73% think college girl should know about sex. reply was as follows: "I think th; mother should tell her daughter ev thing about life before she goes awa school, instead of letting her find th out for herself." And another wi "A girl should know how to take of herself under all conditions, should know how to dress, how smoke, how to drink a little, how to ?so she won't be surprised into thing?how to keep her heart and nc fall easily, and how to get along other girls. I believe that a girl who not been on her own to some exten i her high school years should not Ik lowed to go away to college." U. S. C.

At the present writing, there so seems to be only two organized groups ^1( Vd- on t,lc camPus: Tammany, apparently led W t by the ponderous "Punk" Atkinson, and the Culberson machine.

How- hi )0m ever, with the many elections coming up oi nark short,y- t,iese tvvo groups will probably isl .j jg be reorganized by some of the remaining in pro_ skilled politicians of the campus. rii etri- The molding of the fraternities into Pc nues one group would create a powerful party, P' urth l)Ut this is out of the question since most itive them try to beat the other out in of a securing the spoils.

The sorority 111 ition v?te 's the same way. ti ices cul- Last week we said that we would at- 111 tempt to give the campus an idea about the student body and May Queen elec- ai tions.
