Kfe\ r'V^ " ' >' ALUMN FORMER STUDENT CRASHES MOVIES Frank Woodruff Chosen for Minor Part in "New York Lady" News from Hollywood states that Frank Woodruff, native Columbian, has been chosen to act a minor role in a movie which is now in the making. The name of the production will probably be either "New York Lady" or "Tarnished Lady." Upon application, Woodruff was chosen from a group of seventy-five contestants. The selector was Miss Talluhah Bankhead of Alabama, who made herself famous through superb acting abroad. The nature of the part is unknown. Frank is a former student of Carolina and a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Woodruff of this city. He is a Kappa Sigma and is remembered for the active part he took in local dramatics while here. Although there is a slight chance of the role being dropped from the cast, the acceptance itself is considered a compliment. u. S. C.

ZEIGLER WRITES TO ALMA MATER Former Spanish Assistant Relates Unhappy Over-Night Stay in Bus A letter from Wilbur Zeigler, who was an assistant in the Romance Language department here last year, was recently received from Cristobal, C. Z. Zeigler is now a tobacco salesman in Central America. ' * The letter was a description of a tough over-night trip made recently by the former student. After his own motor car broke down, he caught a bus which in turn broke down and left him on the road over-night with six natives and one fellow salesman. Despite it all, Mr. Zeigler said that he enjoyed the trip immensely. Mr. Zeigler celebrated the first anniversary of his stay in the tropics last March 12.

FORMER STUDENT TO REMARRIED Announcement Party for Frances Sparkman Given by Emily Fowles Not at all a surprise but of particular interest- was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Frances Sparkman to Rev. Capers Satterlee. The announcement party was given by Miss Emily Fowles last Monday night. The bride-elect is a graduate of Carolina, a Tri Deltii, and has lately been working with the Y. W. C. A.

The party given Miss Sparkman by Miss Fowles was in the form of a dinner and the table was made lovely by attractive Easter decorations, most of which were hand-painted by the hostess. The guests were the Misses Frances Sparkman, Florence Barbour, Augelica Simpson, Nora Sparkman (sister of the bride), Elizabeth Hey ward, Mary Haile, Faith DeLoach, Celina McGregor, Marvin Quattlebaum, Alice Prioleau, and Mary Gervais Watson, all of whom are either present or past students of the University. u.

This and more can be said of the register at the infirmary at the University of South Cardlina where the students are asked to.sign whenever they receive treatment. In glancing down its pages one may see who had new shoes at the beginning of school; may tell without looking at dates,- when the football season was, and who played on the girls' hockey team; may learn who ate too many bananas or who indulged in a combination of fish and buttermilk, may find out who went riding on a cold night in a rumble seat without a coat, and who, on the eve of some public appearance (probably a debate or speech before a class) felt the need of a little stimulant?maybe it was ammonia or maybe ft was something stronger which the next morning called for bromo-seltzcr or aspirin. If you are in any wise curious to know what some of our venerable faculty members suffered with while students here; the type of amusement they , enjoyed; if they played football; if they got new shoes during Christmas vacation; if they sat np late nights (thereby getting a headache the next day) just saunter over and ask to be allowed to investigate the old registers. Doubtless some of them would prefer not to recall the number of times they have written their names and opposite put aspirin, heels dressed, or nose sprayed. The system of having students "sign" after they received treatment from the infirmary was begun when the present infirmarian came here 27 years ago. According to Mrs. Madden she was very nervous and not so selfconfident when she arrived at the infirmary in 1905. At that time it was located in the present Dr. Wardlaw home and Dr. B. W. Taylor was the University physician. He thrust a small ledger at her and said, ."Now Mrs. Madden, don't let these upstarts around here make you nervous. Here, take this book, in the back I have put down a few prescriptions for some of the most common ills; just follow them and you won't have any trouble. Have them sign in the front of the book?the name, date, and the treatment. You'll need them when you are aldmndsd5s"~ afteroperation Weil-Known Former Football Player Passes Suddenly in South America Augustine W. (Bill) Folger, originally of Easley, ? C., and an alumnus of the University died in Buenos Aire*;, Argentina, March 22 as a result of complications following an operation for appendicitis the week before. He had been in the best of health until two days before the-operation. After graduation at the Citadel in 1915, Folger entered the University Law School. While here he played a great Same at fullback on the football team. Many remember his sweeping end runs and fine broken field running that made him outstanding in state football. Mr. Folger finished his law work at the University of North Carolina, where he made mother brilliant football record. When the war came, Mr. Folger served is a captain in the infantry from 1917 to 1919. Later he was graduated with the legree of bachelor of literature at the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University. Since 1921, Mr. Folger has been as>ociated with the United Press. At the time of his death he was a prominent ivar correspondent in South America. u. s. c. "There is one thing a freshman co-ed :an always count on when she signs' up for a course under Professor Jackson." "What's that?" "Her fingers." Prof. Coker: Why are the days longer in summer?

Webber The Best in Taflored Clothes 1227 Hampton St. mmmd \ ' irmary Much Romance asked to make reports to the faculty and the board of trustees." And with that the register began. At that time there were only 125 students here, all of the male species, except for an occasional Columbia girl who ventured inside the sacred portals proclaimed almost exclusively for men. At first only a small ledger \yas used and as I have indicated before prescription notes were put down in the back. A prescription for a certain Carrol was made by Dr. Taylor at 6 p. m. on April 21, 1908, which ran thus "continue salts 'tidV* The mysterious "tid" is aTnedical term used to indicate three times a day. Can't help but wonder what happened to Carroll. It is interesting to not^ that in 1914 Stanton M. Lott, now principal of schools at Johnston, S. C., was a regular enrolled student at the University and was treated for malaria. In 1930 during the summer school the same Stanton M. L,ott was treated at the infirmary for the same malady. He was enrolled in the graduate school. There is a constant and unending procession of people, each with his own particular and peculiar ailment, each setting down unconsciously some of the peculiarities attached to him and his life at Carolina. If you are any judge of handwriting you will be able to derive hours of enjoyment scanning the pages and "sizing up" people and the actual condition of their health at the time they "took up the pen and wrote." One may single out the engineering student by the fact that he usually prints his name. The pharmacy student will almost invariable use some metjical term in referring to the treatment received. The "happy-golucky" or "don't-give-a-damn" fellow may sometimes be detected by hasty undecipherable writing through a blotch of ink carelessly dropped. The absent-minded person will neglect to put the date and sometimes the treatment administered. Here is inexhaustible material for research and stories to be uncovered. It is fraught with emotion, pathos, happiness, sorrow, it is drama of countless lives as they come and go. The lives of the students, their visits and why, would constitute a tale of absorbing interest, of drama and vivid color.

The. new Carolinian sure is expensive. As soon as we heard how many professors disapproved of chewing gum, we went out and bought some for the first time since last fourth-o'-July. Collegiate motto: High, but not dry. The campus cynic says the only hard and fast thing about the University is the feminine contingent. * "Twelfth Night" is going on the road throughout the st^te. Gosh, pretty soon everybody in South Carolina will be walking around quoting and misquoting Shaxpur. The boys over in Desaussur.e have organized to lynch the next person who accosts one of them with, "How now, Malvoleo 1" ? This humble scribe has been severely criticized for spelling it "Shaxpur." Really though, it's a good compromise. The new Carolinian is thrice welcome, an oasis in the desert, a bright flash of color in the grayness, a rainbow in the sky, etc. It is very appropriate for the literary societies to put out a humorous magazine. Some other organization ought to revive the old model. There's at least one student who does things in a big way. Somebody stole an eighty-dollar microscope from the biology department. He was probably microscopicminded. Not only do we have a dramatic group and an orchestra, we have also a bohemian atmosphere. TnE Gam^xkjk's recent editorial, "Art on the Campus," oc- ' i casioned quite a display of artistic temperament from one quarter, to the tune of such words as "Puerile 1" "Childish!" "Sophomoric!" "Insane 1" etc., etc., etc. calls they become almost personal acquaintances; one comes to sympathize with the football fellow who had a wrenched knee and was out of the game around October 25, and the girl whose shoes always wore blisters on her heels. / ity Men 1 TO v_, Shade ITS 1 $/ eaves id Tan 0 '35 finest suits at x will find on I 1-Tatum , ? i ' ' Iva < <&i .>il
