DEBA I DEBATING TEAM OBTAINS VICTORY Carolina Defeats Webber College in Costest Held in Clariosophic Hall In continuation of the cxccllent record being made by the Carolina dc bating team, an affirmative team composed of T. C. Hankins of Lakeview and Jim Galloway of Lynchburg defeated a team representing Webber College of Odgcn, Utah. This team was composed of H. A. Bramwcll and John T. Bunson. This debate was held in the Clariosophic society hall on the evening of April 1, and the query was, "Resolved, That All Nations Should Adopt a Policy of Free Trade." Judges were Mr. Patrick Murphy, Mr. David Lightsey, and Mr. R. O. Lockwood, all of Columbia. At the same time that this debate I was being held, another debate on the same query was being staged in the hall of the Euphradian society. An affirmative team of the University/ composed of Wilson O. Wcldon and Woodrow Lewis, both fresh from their triumphant tour of Florida, opposed a negative team from Pennsylvania State College. This was a no-decision debate. u. s. c. Cock-Tails~l Strolled into Professor Keith's office the other day, but he started jabbering Spanish so fast I beat a hasty retreat. Thought I had run into an amateur Mexican Revolution. Ever notice that tomb-stone effect in No. 6 Davis? Dr. Bradley tells us it "was put there for a seismograph, but it is lots more fun to imagine that it is the grave of the first graduate or something. Think of the ghosts we could have. The University Telephone Exchange is about as efficient as a bladeless knife without a handle. Imagine trying to put in a hasty call for the fire department!?"You say you want an attorney to hire?" "No, no! Burney's on fire!" There's one freshman on the campus who has only met three classes this semester. Wonder how he gets along with so little sleep? We had a hot discussion of the Wickersham Report and prohibition in general in an English class the other day. Of about twenty-five students, only one favored the return of the bar room. The others were divided about equally between the dispensary system and complete prohibition. Well, the "Yellow Sheet" is over, thank goodness, and it will be a whole 'nother year before the campus is all agitated again, everybody worrying for weeks over what will be put in 011 them, and then a little disappointed if they arc left out. Well, we did our part! Things you will remember about Carolina: Trying to get registered in September? Your first Carolina dance? The day they put your pledge pin on you? The night you met? The day you squared that idiot on Sumter Street and bent your fender? Little Herman with his "Appooey, oranchy, chandy"? The time you busted two subjects on your mid-term report? That night "Judge" came in and? That probation slip? The campus in spring? Sitting 011 the wall in the sunSpending four hours on that darned exam?thought sure you'd flunked? Your last June Ball? Singing the Alma Mater for the last time? What do you think of The Carolinian? It stepped out last week in a new spring outfit and seems to have created quite a furor in campus discussions! It really "doesn't look bad to us! -4 1 -?^'Bumming" is getting to be an awful bore nowdays! Between the Clemson sots, the other college bums, and the professional hoboes, there is too much competition. And last weekend the guv'ment sent eight "bumming" planes down here to show the starlings how to fly! ' ' \ ' TLSE Carolina and Peon State Debate Over WIS " * Stokes And Bj-own Against Lightstone And Hitchcock; Audience Will Judge A new feature was inaugurated in the debate between the University of South Carolina and Penn. State Last Friday night, when the two teams appeared before the microphone of WIS, in that the audience will make the decision instead of the usual judges. In this debate, over which Wilson Weldon presided, Carolina was reprc- J sented by T. T. Stokes and J. W. Brown. Lightstone and Hitchcock represented Penn State. The query was: "Resolved: That the nation should adopt a policy of free trade, Carolina taking the negative I question. The successful contestants will not be announced until those who "listened in" send their decision. u. s. c. JUNIOR-SENIOR TO BE HELD MAY 15 Stiles Harper And Waldie Bushaw To Have Charge Of Distribution Of Tickets According to tentative plans the Junior-Senior reception will be held on Friday, May 15 at the Jefferson Hotel, due to the incompletion of the ball room of the Columbia Hotel. All contracts, however, are dependent upon the sale of tickets which is to get under way the first of next week. Stiles Harper and Waldie Btishaw arc to be in charge of the distribution of the tickets, and all those who are planning to attend are requested to notify one of these two men at their earilest convenience. It will not be necessary to pay for them immediately , the officials of the class mere-1 ly desire to have some idea of how many to prepare for. In view of this, all juniors and seniors can facilitate the arrangements by telling these men that they desire to come. The price lists have been made as I conservative as possible. They arc, a jun-| ior coming by himself or with a senior will be chargcd two dollars and a half, otherwise he will be charged five dollars; a senior coming by himself or bringing a senior date will be admitted free, otherwise he will be chargcd two dollars and a half. For these prices the class is undertaking to give attractive and expensive favors, a banquet, and a dance. The minimum number of tickets must J be sold by the first of May, else the officials will be faced with the unpleasant duty of abandoning all plans for the affair. MORALS AREBAD; SAYS TENNIS STAR For those who believe in prohibition, Helen Jacobs, famous tennis star and all round athlete, tells why it is a good thing for the college girl. "It seems deplorable to me," says Miss Jacobs, "to see girls who enter college at fifteen and six-} teen smoking as consistantly as those of nineteen and twenty. When you know what it does to them you wonder what makes it worth while to them. Certainly the excitement of first smoking couldn't. I don't know at what age smoking begins to do least harm, but I should imagine it would be around twenty. That certainly leaves the best part of a life time to devote to it, if one must. I don t suppose that drinking is much worse for women, physically, than it is for men. It isn't good for either, and the very fact that it is strictly prohibited in training rules is proof in itself that it is injurious to the wind and the health in general. This isn't the only thing against I it," continues Miss Jacobs. "Execessive drinking is not a difficult habit for girls to form when they have once acquired a taste for liquor. In many homes cocktails arc served before dinner. On certain occasions wine is served with it, and liquors after it. If I didn't ?lay tennis 11 think I should enjoy any of these once in awhile, but the difficulty lies in the fact that even those girls who are accustomed to liquor served moderately in their homes are apt to begin overdoing it whenever J possible at college." Today is the height of the RAT year! Imagine how pleased the boys will be to get that back to nature I feeling that comes from association I with the soil I Only the poor gals will | feel so neglected. V ' ' ASON THE FIEL1 As Viewed by Miss Katherine Arts, in an Address t The field of art is a broad one, touching, as it docs, so many phases of life, and there is a wide choice open to the student who has leanings towards art. Of first importance are the so-called fine arts?architecture, sculpture and painting, then there are the graphic arts, such as lithography and etching; or, again, the applied arts and of these the sub-divisions are almost too numerous to mention, but among the most important arc commercial advertising, illustration, textile and costume designing, interior decoration and the various crafts, such as pottery, jewelry and wrought iron. In addition to these technical branches there is, I believe, a constantly increasing demand for the teacher of art?and this 4 is one of the most hopeful signs of the times 1 In my opinion few professions can offer such a variety of opportunities and can appeal to people of such different temperaments and capabilities. So much for the various branches of art; when it comes to questions of demand and of positions and of remuneration they are not so easy to answer. I believe that more and more manufacturers in many lines are calling to their aid designers to help in the production of the articles they manufacture, and then they call on the artists to advertise these articles; in this day of magazines there is a great demand for illustrations; and the wealthy, and even those who arc not wealthy, are employing the interior decorator in the furnishings of their homes; so that there are a great many actively engaged in one kind of art work or another. Naturally, the greatest number of artists flock to the large cities, especially of the North, and these are becoming crowded, and the effect has been, of course, that competition has lowered the price paid for art work. But, even so, I believe that this competition is a healthy one and that there is every opportunity for good work to be recognized. Here in the South, unfortunately, the opportunities for art positions arc not as great as they ought to be. Except for some commercial advertising, the profession of teaching seems to offer the greatest possibilities. But I believe and hope that in time there will be openings in another line which is closed to us now, and that is in the numerous textile mills which arc moving South but continue to import all their designs from the North, instead of employing Southern designers. In regard to painting and sculpture the situation is much the same. Artists usually prefer the larger art centers but there are indications that our Southern artists arc recognizing the fact that they can remain at home and yet make a living and we now have in the South several art centers of importance. Portrait painters, in particular, arc in general sought after and such work is usually well paid for. There are many artists who have undoubtedly made money, but the question of remuneration for art work is an uncertain one and I do not recommend the profession of art to anyone who has as his ambition in life the making of a fortune. Rather, I would warn him that the road to success is almost always a long and difficult one. Hard work is necessary to success in Publicity Disci To Be Doi The spotlight of publicity that has thrown its glare 011 crime, vice and graft conditions in New York and Chicago has cast a lenient shadow oytfr equally heinous conditions in other large cities, notably Boston, according to an article in a recent issue of Real Dctective. The author, Carter Dale, a Boston newspaper reporter, reveals a city with a Jekyll-Hyde personality. The one side is a Boston of strict suppression of immoral books and magazines, ruthless censorship over lascivious stage performances, and strict regulation of "blue" Sabbath laws. The other side is a city that winks at booze running, police graft, gang shootings and brothels running on a "big business" scale. Vice resorts in Boston, says Mr. Rale, are operated under a group management, which moves its human chattels from one "store" to another like so much merchandise. In fact this chain store vice system even provides a resting place in the country where its inmates may re* tli. .v. ....... REA( D OF ART B. Heyward, Professor of Fine 0 the Upperclassmen whatever branch of art he may choose. But although the work may be hard and recognition slow and uncertain, still there is a compensation in the work itself! To those of you who love art well enough to make sacrifices for it, I say undertake it by all means, and 1 believe you will never regret your choice. You will have the satisfaction of doing that which means more to you than anything else and, furthermore, you will never be satisfied with anything else! As a course of study in this University, art is no longer a major subject and I cannot advise as to minor subjects. Most of our students arc candidates for the A.B. degree and take the required work. However, it seems to me that for the art student (aside from English, of course) the most important studies are ancient and European history and the modern languages. Anthropology and aesthetics should form a part of his education and in some lines of work mathematics is not only useful but necessary. If lie has any turn for it at all, I should advise music, which is a sister art. In fact, the more well-rounded an artist's education the more he will have to bring to his art and the broader his vision should be. / * The course in art here is a fouryear one and, as far as it is possible to make it so, it is a broad and wellbalanced one?certainly those of our graduates who have gone into the graded schools and even into three junior colleges to teach have proved that they were well equipped for the work?but a student who is going into the work professionally should continue his studies in one of the larger professional schools where he can get instruction in life drawing, etc., which we are not able to give at present. For those of you, however, who are not thinking of studying art as a profession I want to emphasize the fact that some knowledge of art is necessary to your education and to any real culture. Such knowledge is sadly lacking among our people today and it is a fact that few realize. To be unacquainted with the world's great painters and sculptors and with the great periods of architecture is not only to be as ignorant as if you knew nothing of the literature of other ages and countries but you are cut off from one of the truest sources of enjoyment. A knowledge of art will teach you to see. Your eyes will be opened to beauty all around you, which may have passed unnoticed before. But, to appreciate art some understanding of it is necessary. This understanding in my opinion is best gained through actual work in art and also through a study of the principles on which all the arts arc based,- as well, as through a knowledge of its history. In raising your own standards of appreciation you will help more than you realize the artists themselves, for in the words of Arthur W. Dow, "the art of no nation has advanced beyond the standards of its people and in a sympathetic public is the life-giving influence which creates works of art." A study which can ennoble and enrich your life as art can is surely worthy of your consideration, whether you feel that you are artistic or not! oses Boston able-Sided City furbish their physical appearance to stimulate their revolting trade. The students of Harvard, situated in Cambridge, a Boston suburb, have also contributed a flaming page to the record of Boston sin. The Harvard year-book publishes a summary of fraternity dances at the fashionable Copley-Plaza, but is discreetly silent about the wild orgies that follow, attended by Harvard students and girls from nearby fashionable finishing schools. The first crack in the polished exterior of Boston smugness appears to have been made, however, in the record of proceedings before a recent grand jury. As a result of confessions made of owners of notorious hotels, an indictment was returned against "Hard-Boiled" Ollie Garrett, $38 a week policeman, who was found to have deposited $100,000 to his personal account in one year. With him was indictcd his wife, Florence Garrett, accused as the collector of bribes from various dive keepers. I :hes ] Coeds Debate Brenau; England-India Issue Kitty Martin And Viola Allen Uphold Negative Side Of Query Kitty Martin and Voila Allen will uphold the negative side of a debate with Brenau college Monday night at 8 o'clock in the Eupliradian hall. The subject will be: "Resolved: That England should give dominion status to India." Since this is supposed to be a double debate, it is probable that an affirmative team from the University will debate at the same time at Brenau. The members for this team, however, have not yet been chosen. Miss Martin and Miss Allen made up the team which recently defeated Winthrop college. This is the last time the negative team will debate. The affirmatives have yet to hold their first contest. CAUSEY NEWHEAD OF CHRISTIAN CLUB (Continued from page one) April 8. Ip his exaugural address President Brown thanked the members of the club for their co-operation in presenting nearly 200 programs during the past year. He pointed out the fact that in this field of service the University had gone far ahead of any college in the state and most of those in the South. Few churches of the city have rendered as many organized programs to those in institutions in Richland County as have the Carolina students in the club. In his inaugural address Causey pledged his utmost support to the progress of the club under its motto, "For Christ and Carolina." Other officers outlined their plans for the immediate future and an illustrated song service completed the program. In addition to local work the following schedule has been announced for extension work: April 17, 18, 19 representatives of the club (including the coeds) will present a series at Ridgeland; April 24, 25, 26 at Fort Mill; May 1, 2, 3, at Chappels, and May 10 at Clemson College. u. s. c. | JOKES | Mr.: You say he once tried to neck you?

Woodrow Lewis and Wilson O. Weldon have recently returned from an extensive trip into Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee where they represented the University in a series of debates against other schools. In all these debates the query was on "Free Trade." This team is affirmative. They left here on Sunday, March 22 and on Tuesday, March 24 won a debate against the University of Florida at Gainesville. The following Thursday they completed the debates in Florida by clashing with Miami University in Miami in . a no-decision affair. Conjing north, they stopped by Atlanta to debate Emory University. This was the only time they suffered defeat on the entire trip. This occurred on Saturday, March 30. The following Monday they defeated the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. u. s. c. Y. M. C. A. OBSERVES MOVEMENT WEEK (Continued from page one) the student body and of the University Y. M. C. A. V* The object of Student Movement Week is to outline clearly for the whole campus the fundamental idea behind the student organization not only on the local campus but internationally, and then to secure the co-operation o^all the organizations on the campus in trying to put this general idea into effect at the University. The cabinet decided not to have many out-of-town speakers nor to have any extra meetings, but to have the students who arc members of the cabinet take charge of the meetings of various organizations on the-campus which will meet during this week, ask for a hearing and explain to them what the "Y" seeks to do, asking their general co-operation. The cabinet plans to have short talks in every organization on the campus during this week. Part of the plan will be to seek to enlist as many men as possible in the various activities of the "Y" for the remainder of this year and for next year's program. u. s. c. Lost?Red fountain pen.
