resigns from faculty
Young Son Outclasses Literary
Pop as Meal Support Earner
Dr. Havilah Babcock, sometime professor
of English at the University of
South Carolina, hknded in his resignation
to Doctor Douglas last week. The
following was his reason as stated by
himself in his letter to the president:
"Dear Sir: Much as I regret to deprive
this great institution of my skillful
and unerring guidance, I find that
I must discontinue my position, for
the avocation of teaching is consuming
far more of my leisure time than
H can afford to spare. You are doubt.
lessly aware of the fact that I have
been interested in carpentry for many
years. Now that I have made my pile
by pedagogy, I shall devote the remainder
of !ty allotted span to my true
calling."
But when Doctor Douglas happened
to meet Huckleberry Finn Babcock on
the street the other day and asked him
why his daddy quit the faculty, the
precocious youngster responded matter-of-factly:
"Oh, daddy's building tables. He
made so much noise with his bamming,
anil messed up the house so with nails
and screws that mother put him out
in the back yard. She let him come in
the house for meals at first, but he
stopped washing his face and hands,
so now he has to eat out in the wood
shed."
"Building tables?" gasped the astounded
Doctor Douglas.
"Yeah, he thinks he was cut out for
a carpenter, but he and I both made a
mahogany table last week. I sold mine
for $1.50, and the furniture man said
his wasn't good enough to be thrown
on the junk pile. He says he ain't
gonna quit 'till he builds one as good
as mine!"

MERCER INDULGES
IN A COLD BATH
Charles Frankfurter Mercer, the bold,
bad man (?) from Chicago, lias recently
affiliated himself with one of these here
Sigma Phi Kappa.
Frankfurter (short for Frank) has
just come back from a trip North. He
seems to enjoy telling about when he
and the other gangsters talked over old
times over a sociable mug of beer (?).
There arc many humorous anecodates
told about him. The most interesting one
follows: Frankfurter, when he was a
small boy, went in swimming one day.
(We wager he needed a bath.) While
swimming, he saw a big crocodile coming
towards him. He expected the beast
to immediately devour him but instead,
the animal, who had a sense of humor,
merely remarked, "Stokes was right,
after all." This story is true, and by
sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope,
you can get, in full, the statement
of Mr. Crocodile.
Some great mind has remarked to this
effect: "Some day Frankfurter's shoes
are going to have a party and invite his
pants down."
We once heard that Frankfurter was
a great actor, in fact, we know positively
that he keeps a scrap-book of clippings
from the writeups of all the jilays
that he has starred (?) in. His vanity
was tickled when lie was chosen to play
the lead role of "Charley's Aunt" in the
recent production by that name, presented
by local talent. It seems that this
play contains a lot of truth. On several
occasions, he remarks that he is Charley's
Aunt, from Brazil, where the nuts
come from,

THE VALUE
A Speech to the Upperclassmer
Sponsored by the Vocatio
Under the Direction of
The field of necking is comparatively
new, even more so than that of aviation,
though the best neckers sometimes
get high. It is practically a virgin
field, but not entirely, not even as
much as you would expect. Though
the methods were recognized as long
as fifty years ago, the present generation
is the first to develop it or make
extensive use of it as a social and economic
institution. It forms one of the
most flourishing industries in New
York, an^l seems not to have been
hurt by the recent period of depression.
The University has done everything
possible to encourage public necking;
it has placed "Park Here" signs at
strategic points on the campus, and
has even gone so far as to put lights
behind the gymnasium and on the east
side of Davis college. In this the authorities
have been guided by the
Bible, which says, "Let there be light."
What has necking done fon me?
Well, personally it hasn't done me any
good, because I don't do it with sufficient
regularity. But to you, my young
friends, it should be helpful in many
ways. The poets and philosophers tell
us that the highest thing in life is to
feel beautiful things. And some of the
mystics go even farther and tell us that
we should feel not only through our
eyes and ears and mind, but with our
I whole body. This fact is attested by
even the most prosaic of us when we
greet each other with, "How do you
feel?" Some prudish people may reply,
"I don't feel, I'm not that kind
of a girl."
Granted then that we should feel
beautiful things, the question arises,
"What is the most beautiful thing in
the world?" And the answer to that
question, though it depends to some
extent on one's point of view, is of
vital importance. I think it a serious
mistake to have given the most beautiful
girl at the University a pair of
pajamas. She should have been given
nothing at all. The same applies to the
handsomest boy, for the benefit of the
girls. The beauties of the human form
divine should be displayed as freely

as possible, so as to encourage the I
growth of aesthetic appreciation
among the youth.
In addition, necking is of great benefit
to the musicians, since it creates a
market for both hot and cool num-1
bers. The hotsy-totsy fox-trots are "k
great stimulus to necking, and then
after everybody is exhausted there's
nothing so soothing as a nice refined
waltz. I don't believe in playing music J
at the messhall, however, because it's
kind of hard to neck on an empty I
stomach, and I'm one of those old-1
fashioned people who like food with
their meals.
The value of necking, though not
fully appreciated, was acknowledged I
in the early days of this country. This
fact is attested by such place-names
as Great Neck, Little Neck, Bottle
Neck, etc. The first primitive form
of necking was probably the half|
nelson by which the cave-man carried
off his latest wife. The Greeks and
Romans have left many statues of
their heroes, most of them showing
nothing but the head and neck of the
, subject. The necks all seem to be well
developed, though there was only one
Cleopatra.
In the Middle Ages everything was
corrupted, and the human neck served
merely as a suspension medium. Those
of you who have studied chemistry
will know what a suspension medium
is. But with the coming of the Reformation
and the Renaissance, necking
again came into its own. One of (
France's greatest statesmen was named
Necker, though Germany also claims
him. And even today one of our super|
men is called Rubber-neck Nelson.
The requirements for necking are
few, and the reward great. All that is
needed are a steady hand, an eye for
j beauty, and an unbreakable will. An
iron constitution also comes in handy,
though this is not absolutely necessary.
A?d remember, my young
friends, if you would look the whole
world in the face you must be able to
answer affirmatively life's great question:
Have you a little necker in your
home?
Dubinstein Is Deprived
Of Faith In Mankind
"Blooey" Rosen was caught last night
with a coed in his room by Judge Blankcad,
on his annual trip through the tene-1
mcnts.
There were three other men in the
room at the time but they escaped
through the trap door in the floor. Their
identity has not been revealed, but it is
thought that they were Yank Karesh,
Ruford Worthy and Sidney Adrams,
famous yodeler and xylophonist.
The girl who was in the room is Miss
Hester Dubinstein, member of the
Damus Club, the Sigma Sigma Rho
sorority and other campus skin games I
and societies. Miss Dubinstein declined
to comment at length on her exposure, I
but told reporters, "He promised to marry
me. I sec it all now; he was only
trying to lead me astray. I shall never
again trust a man."
Rosen for his part declared that he
did not even know that Miss Dubinstein
was in the room at the time, as she
was accustomed to leave every night
about twelve o'clock. He also stated
that it was a frameup between Blankhead
and Abrams, declaring them both
to be crooks, liars and thieves.
further light is shed on the case,
when Champ Edmunds, former roommate
of Rosen's, declared that he could
not sleep for several nights due to Miss
Dubinstein's presence in the room. He
also stated that Rosen went so far as
to invite her to stay overnight, and he
had offered to assist in putting the three
beds together so that they could enjoy
the night's sleep, but Hester declined,
saying that she had to go home to
dream about her darling Abe.

LOOSE A. D7 PIES
GRABBED BY LAW
Twelve members of Alpha Deltta Pi
local petting sorority, were seized by
members of the Columbia vice squad
last Tuesday night upon charges, not
revealed, in a warrant sworn out by
the negroes who live in the section
below the sorority house. The arrests
were, made by four members of the
local police force.
When incarcerated at the local
jail, the girls, in various stages of
dress and undress, were questioned
by members of the Methodist
Women's Purity Society. Misses Sand,
Richer, Kasley, Die, Legging and
Stones were taken to a local hospital
to sober up. The other four women
were not recognized by relatives but
a check-up is being made of missing
members. Attempts are being made to
remove their make-up with a compress
drill. Two, Mary Sinckney an(!
Elizabeth Freighton, were sent to the
reformatory.

ACROBATS
PHOTOGRAPHED
FOR ART DEPARTMENT
Editor of Annual Denies Charges
of Espionage From Suite
in Pen
Nude photographs of more than 30
co-ed acrobats and gymnasts taken in
very broad daylight in the University
gymnasium are the objects of a plea of
the University "Artists Models" depart- ' '
ment for use in stiller poses than can be
attained with the originals as models. The
mails refuse to transport them, however.
A lusty appeal from the art department
to Chief Injustice Vardell E. Nesmitli
and Misjudge Yancey Alford McLeod
of the campus judiciary, failed to
bring the strongly desired authorization
for sending the "pictshows" through the
mails.
"We hereby hold and decree," stated
the Chief Injustice, "that these so-called
photographs, which the Court has privately
inspected and believes to be French
postcards, should never be sent through
the mails.
In fact, they should in no way be
commingled or associated with the mails
for their mutual benefit, hard though
they may see it."
Misjudge McLeod, awaking from a
deep dream ot peace, as in "Achmet Abdullah
may his tribe increase," concurred
heartily in the opinion of Chief Injustice
Nesmith.
"It is wrong," Misjudge McLeod asserted.
"Personally, I can't sec what's
wrong with it, but I feel it is wrong."
Waldie E. Bushaw, photographic editor
of the Garnet atid Black, is in the
Federal penitentiary charged with espionage.
He took the pictures, et cetera, without
the knowledge or consent of the
posees, it is charged.
"It's a lie," Bushaw shouted incoherently
from the depths of his dungeon.
"Neither my camera nor I could stand
it."
