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.

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,

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

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

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.

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*

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!

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.

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.

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.
