; What Girls Do
Reueah
What arc the dormitory girls doing at
. eleven o'clock at night? It seems like an
r impossible question to answer, and yet
the information was obtained in easy
> fashion. What each and every girl was
r doing at eleven o'clock on a particular
; night is told below. Armed with paper
, and pencil one girl had only to present
- herself at the door of every suite, in the
, . manner of a census-taker, and ask a few
I direct questions:
What are you doing? Studying?
r What? Bulling? About what?
t After the first look of surprise, and
. sometimes of. suspicion, usually the ani
swer was equally direct and brief.
i The statistical information gathered
that night revealed that, after all, an
astonishing number of people studied at
that hour. At least they said they were
, studying, and most of them had books
in evidence to prove their statements.
> To be exact, thirty-three girls claimed to
be seeking knowledge.
( Since thirty-three were studying, there
[ were forty-one left to account for. pf
this forty-one seventeen were frankly
( wasting time. In small groups of t\^o,
three and four, they were talking, or as
they said, bulling. Their subjects were
varied.
Two young ladies were discussing love
affairs. Having admitted that much, they
refused to divulge any more. Four girls,
in answer to what was the subject of
their conversation, answered in chorus
"Disease I"
Upon further questioning, one explained
airily that they liad reached |
peritonitis, and probably would come to 1
appendicitis in twenty minutes. They
were left td their own devices, such
facctiousness not being appreciated.
Another bull session concerning
campus celebrities was taking place in
one of the suites. The remarks of the
four participants are censored. t
A three-fold, heated discussion on re- <
ligion was interrupted in another room. 1
A huge green book, labeled "The Cul- 1
tural History of the Modern Ape" was
LOCAL CHAPTER ]
DELTA SIGMA PI
HOLDS BANQUET
I
The local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, 5
National business fraternity, held a de- (
lightful banquet at the Rose-Mary Tea '
Room, in honor of Prof. E. E. Geohring 1
of the University of North Carolina.
Professor Geohring is the director of the *
South Atlantic Province of Delta Sigma r
Pi. He came partly for the purpose of '
inspection and t<f meet several initiates r
of the fraternity.
The banquet was presided over by j
Dean G. E. Olsen, head of the Commerce
School, Professor Geohring was the
principal speaker of the evening. He advised
those present on matters relative
to the progress of the fraternity, telling
them of the problems and progress of {
various other chapters.
Members of the local chapter, both
graduate and undergraduate, were pres- $
ent at the banquet. Mr. William Ragsdale
of Atlanta, connected with another
chapter of DeJta Sigma Pi, was a guest. I

being used as reference.
Church and religion are not necessarily
the same thing," was the startling
statement that remained suspended in air
while the girls frowned upon the intrusion
of ordinary questions into their
discoursing. "Inter-racial relationships,"
and other high sounding terms rolled
glibly from the tongues of the intellectual
lasses. r
"We're talking about wrecks and automobile
accidents," two girls said, and
two others were discussing the merits of
the Odes of Catullus with great gusto.
"Catullus was a great man," they declared.
No'one disagreed with them."'
Lour girls were -caught washing
clothes, cheerfully asserting that eleven
o'clock at night was the best time for
such work. Another was washing her
hair, grinning at the lecture promptly delivered
to her upon the dangers of washing
one's hair late at night. Two others,
having been thoroughly shampooed,
were discovered inserting water * ave
combs.
Only five girls had gone to bed.
Four letters were being written at that
hour. One girl, pausing to eat an orange,
said that she was writing a letter of application
for a teaching position. Another
claimed that she was writing home, and
tv/o girls merely smiled when asked to
whom their letters would go.
Three girls were reading. Two were ^
occupied with novels, the titles of which,
as a matter of curiosity, were "Hearts of
Hickory," by Moore, and "Silent Stones," 1
)y Poole. The third girl was reading an
"American" magazine.
It being ascertained that five girls were k
not in the building that night, four were
left for cataloguing. One was found
running through the halls in aimless )
fashion. The other three were not to be '
found in their respective rooms. A
thorough search discovered them rolling

SEVENTY-FIVE
ENJOY BANQUET
Football Players Entertained by
Sheriff Heise at Summer
Residence
Over 75 football players and invited
quests enjoyed the elaborate banquet
?iven last Friday night in honor of the
football team by Sheriff Alex Heise at
lis pond about ten miles from. Columbia.
All of the guests assembled at the field
louse at 5:15 and were taken to the
banqueting place in automobiles furshed
by various Columbians.
After arriving at the designated spot,
everybody was shown over the grounds
md watched Sheriff Heise feed his fish
n his big pond. Here the spectators were
:ntcrtained by seing how a freshman
looked paddling* a boat. John Azar,
Freshman football player from Rock
Hill, was forced to sit in one of the
>oats and one fun-seeking upperclassnan
shoved Azar and the boat out into
the pond. By his ludicrous expression,
li<? had apparently never seen a water
craft before, but he made the best of the
situation. Spying a piece of board in
the bottom, not a paddle, he seized it
and with mighty strokes splashing water
everywhere, brought the craft to land
again without serious damage.
Afterwards everybody tried to gorge
himself with the delicious dishes served
but all soon gave up the ghost except
Henry Woodward, Columbia High football
player, who kept on stuffing long
after everyone else had finished.
The sheriff assured the team that Columbia
was behind them and would do
everything possible to help. Both Coaches
Laval and Mr. Timmerman expressed
the gratitude of the guests to Sheriff
Heise for his kindness. Coach Laval said
that the Carolina players would be
brought to the Sheriff's place two days
before the Clemson game next year, so
that they would in 110 way suffer annoyances.
"If we can't beat them next
year with all these advantages, we will
have no further alibis," he said.
Invited guests besides the players and
the coaches( included: Dr. A. E. Shaw,
W. M. Mobley, George Bell Timmerman,
J. A. Crawford, Professors J. B.
Coleman, Harry Davis, J. B. Jackson,
Dean L. T. Baker, and the following
student representatives: Yates Williams,
president of the student body, Bob Gressette,
ex-captain of the football team,
Mason1 Brunson, editor of the Garnet
and Black, Lewis H. Wallace, Gamecock
representative, and several Columbia
High ex-football players.
