And we thought that the jokes were great. b. In the spring a young man's B fancy turns to love. It's a matter of speculation if that is the reason so many co-eds picked young professors for the second semester. And here's a strange paradox for' you. The most intelligent man on . the campus, who was named such by a large number of student voters, is not ,a member of Phi Beta Kappa. If K. S. K. does clip the freshmen's heads, then many of the new men will have nothing on their minds. And here is something for K. S. K. to worry about. A freshman at the University of Alabama told the registrar that he was leaving school because none of the barbers knew how to cut his hair properly. The co-eds say that they usually prefer private automobiles, but often feel relieved when riding the buses. For, says Dumb Dora, "They seldom have motor trouble or give out of gas at night." This hair-clipping proposition, as one member of the Clariosophic aptly termed it, "is a barber-ous custom." Professor McCutcheon's dog has a habit of putting his bones (daily dog rations) on the top step of the house. Maybe he has imbibed something from his boss' Public Finance or some course in Economics 1 Where did Carolina get her colors garnet and black?

RCH 20, 1931 GIVE THE GRASS A CHANCE Spring has come again and with it the usual admonition?"Keep off the grass." At best it is an irritating command, but, in this case, isn't it worth while ? Much work has been and is being done on the University grounds by those in charge, but no permanent results can be obtained without the full co-operation of all the students.' Numerous paths are provided, leading in every direction; and yet, there are thoughtless ones who persist in cutting new ones just for the sake of saving a few steps. i The marshal and those in charge have not insulted the sense of propriety of the students by spreading "Keep off the Grass" signs all over the campus or by placing heavy obstructions to protect the lawns. But they have sent out a request?a request which it is the duty of every student to heed. If every student picked one man to watch, to keep off the grass when unnecessary, to keep from cutting corners when walking on the paths, and to keep from cutting new and needless paths across the campus, we would have one of the most beautiful campuses in the state? especially if the one man picked out were himself. And all this brings us to the question of pavement. It is a certainty that the school cannot do it with the present appropriation bill before the legislature. So it is left for some campus organization to take it up and see that it is done. Perhaps Kappa Sigma Kappa could become interested in it, or maybe O. D. K. These are only suggestions; at any rate it is a certainty that it would be a great thing for the University if some strong organization would take over the duty. We still think that it would be a very good idea if each senior class would leave a bit of pavement as their gift to the school. It would not necessarily have to be much, but it would be a start that other classes could build on. And eventually Carolina would have her muchneeded pavement. When certain professors and students see the "Yellow Sheet" they will probably repeat the classic words of Doctor Yates Snowden: "Some d? sophomore did that."

The inter-school game attracted quite a bit of interest, and proved very creditable. Miss Sarah Godbold, of the Columbia High School said that it was the best she had refereed in some time. Carolina has not entered into competition more often because the athletic department has been more anxious to give the average girl a chance for physical development than to put out varsity teams, according to Nancy Pope, director of physical education. Stressing varsity sports requires a larger staff, and more money for operation than has been available. Carolina is following the general trend of operation of girls' athletic departments all over the country, most of which aim for general physical education rather than specializing and developing varsit) teams. However, many large girls schools in the North do put oul teams in competition with others While it is probably not possible for Carolina coed teams to go intensively into inter-school competition,annual contests with Colum bia College would be an interesting feature to add to the present pro gram. The interest shown in the gam< Saturday night was a proof thai the step was successful. The coed: and the athletic department are on< in desiring some sort of renewa of the defunct City League. The basketball season is over but track is in the offing. Carolina has some excellent material, as ha; been shown in recent years at th< track meets staged by the girls. How about challenging Colum bia College at track? THE YELLOW SHEET The ninth annual edition of th< "Yellow Sheet," to appear as usua at about 12:01 on the morning o April fool, is expected to lay ban the many scandals (most of then entirely fictitious) that are supposet to exist on the campus. The shee of this year will make no violen attacks on Clemson or upon air other particular institution?it wil be a parody on a regular issue o The Gamecock.

The present staff of The Gamecock will make no attempt at vulgarity; it does not feel that obscenity is necessarily cleverness. However, it has no hesitation in assuring its readers that its "Yellow Sheet" will be up to the usual high standards set by former editors in previous editions. u. s. c.

I The Political I "Always Bubbling Over" Well, well, welf. It seems that Frank Barfield, sports editor of The Columbia Record is trying to usurp our place in predicting the outcome of the forthcoming elections. After, devoting about half of his column in last Monday's paper commcndably lauding our present cheerleader (which is w.ell deserved praise) he says, "It looks like a brother combination will be at the head of the Carolina cheering section next fall Waldie and Charlie Bushaw are the top candidates for the honor of being senior cheerleader. They have been the chief assistants to Nigel during the last two years and one or both will be selected to succeed League." This editor heads his column "Frankly Speaking" and he seems to speak frankly, but not frankly enough. And we beg to differ with him on his choice of Carolina's next cheerleader. Although it is about two months until this election comes off/ there | seems to be only two recognized candidates for this honor (as Mr. Barfield said). However, from what we have heard it is likely that Charles Bushaw will be opposed by Buford Worthy and not by Waldie Bushaw. It is' rumored that Waldie intends running for editor-in-chief of the Garnet and Black and will not be in the cheerleader's race. This race will be exceedingly hot and we would hate to declare which one is going to win. Both are fairly capable cheerleaders, with honors about even. However, if this paper has anything to do with the election this year, it will be a student body affair with all the students having the privilege of voting and not as it was ast year. The voting will also be done y secret ballot as prescribed in the student body constitution Several of us remember that last year this election was in reality a closed door affair A meeting of the student body was hastily called one day after freshman chapel and the election was conducted then and there in the chapel with about fifty students present.
