? Undressed 1 Ci- ' Uproar in By Hclei ? A few years ago I visited some relatives in Kansas City who lived in an apartment house. Across the hall from them lived three girls. They were of the class known as "the working girl," but they were successful, having reached that desired state of affairs where they could afford a good apartment. The three of them had three rooms and a very small kitchenette, the latter ill-equipped, since they got most of their meals in restaurants, none of them being domestically inclined. As Thanksgiving approached, they grew sentimental and reminiscent over the past Thanksgivings spent at their homes and decided to have one of the old-fashioned turkey dinners in their apartment. From an idle suggestion the plan became a determination, and for a week preparations were made for the event. Nuts, dates, candies, and fruits littered the place, and mince pies had to be bought on three different occasions because the girls could not wait to cat it! Purchase Live Turkey Why, with all the butcher shops selling nicely picked and cleaned turkeys, they bought a live one, their friends have never been able to decide. But the fact remains that they did purchase a fifteen-pound bird three days before Thanksgiving?a gobbler that gobbled everything in sight? and gave him the run of the place. It was a bad mistake, and they were t soon to realize it. Even the most hardhearted person will grow attached to the homliest of animals, if lie allows that animal to eat salted peanuts in his hand and drink water from the best tumbler. It was quite amusing, as well as sad, to se three otherwise sane persons peeling bananas for an ugly, vulture-like bird. And it was disconcerting to learn that the homly thing was allowed to roost on the bath tub. Quite gratified by the adulation he received, the turkey strutted around and gobbled throatily for their benefit. The girls were inraptured by his human-like qualities, and completely forgot that he was a prospective dinner. The night before Thanksgiving came around all too soon. A conference was called to decide the turkey's fate. Of course, he had to be killed, but who would commit the murder and how? The girls shuddered at .the sight of a v butcher knife and, although a hatpin was offered rather timidly, the three refused to consider any such bloody methods?however sudden they might be. After bitter tears and bitterer quarrels, the brilliant idea of chloroforming the poor fowl occurred to one Some people own country homes overlooking the sea. Others own country homes overlooking beautiful valleys. We own a country home overlooking a first and second mortgage and a few more payments. ? 28 Is: ft V, ; There were 23 issues last year.

Chloroform was obtained from corner druggist under the pretense that an aged dog was to be put out o his misery. The girls were ashamed to reveal the true purpose.

Roast- . ing pan ready, one of thent went to the pantry for the turkey. A solemn 1 gobble greeted her ears as she opened j the door. The turkey was standing upon his platter?fcatherless and grotesque. Turkey Runs Wild He hopped to the floor and started toward the horrified girl, who gave ( several piercing screams and fled. other two rushed to her assistance, In ] one look at the dismantled turkey was , enough. One fainted, and the other , ran down the hall, screaming hystcrically. Seeing a gentleman ascending , the stairs, she flnng herself into bis , arms. Her onslaught was wholly un cxpccted, sco the two of them travelled , down the stairs in reverse. In the meanwhile the apartment i house was in an uproar. People were running up and down the stirs, wild y ( asking questions and threatening to , call the police or fire department. A doctor was summosed for the hysterical girls. But the turkey, during these exciting moments, had remained quite calm. After eating the crtfmbs that j were on the flco around the tabs-, | he walked over to the prostrate gir^ m the doorway and found out that her beads could not be eaten. i Without thanking them for their hospitality or waiting to say " 1 bye, lie made his way out of the building, unhindered, for he paid no attention to the frightened cries that greeted him on ever yside. Picked turkeys are not common on Kansas City streets, and since the scene in the house seemed likely to be repeated, a public-spirited policeman drew his revolver and shot the defenseless fowl. No doubt the girls learned some lesson from their experience, but they refused ever afterwards to discuss the matter. Their Thanksgiving dinners arc always purchased in restaurants now, and they isvariably order duck. Mattie: No, I'm afraid I can't use you. J. Soper: But why not?

DEAN DANCERS GIVE PROGRAM The Dean Danccrs of the University >f South Carolina presented a program it Columbia College last Tuesday at twiight. The occasion was a garden party which the sophomore class gave in honor )f the seniors. The party was given by lantern light, with the following danccrs from the University taking part: Julia Bowman, Doris fallings, Dorothea Dorn, Harriet Conlor, Blanche Love, Willie Rudd Fuller, kVilma Bowen, Laura Crouch, Betsy \uld, Rena Buchanan, and Mrs. Dean. u. s. c. Survey Considers Student s Morals Apparently college students are no better or worse morally than the population at large. This is the con elusion which was reached from va study of the moral conditions in the 69 land grant universities and colleges included in a survey by the Federal Office of Education. This survey, which was begun in , 1927 with a congressional appropria- ] tion of $117,000, among other things covers fees charges, courses offered and use made by the graduates of their training, while considerable space is given to faculty and athletic questions. The report is in two volumes of 1,800 pages, much of which is also devoted to problems of handling fraternities and sororities, and student conduct at social affairs. Drinking was listed as the chief trouble at 26 of the institutions. Also the actions of the alumni and guests of other colleges and high schools was said to be causing the authorities much concern. The lack of responsibility felt by them at dances was credited with lowering the general morals at dances. The survey inclines to the view that the chaperon in the modern sense of the word has become a mere figurehead. Discourtesy on the part of students to the chaperons was a cause of much complaint by university authorities. According to the information, chaperons are generally required at dances and "probably there is some useful purpose served by having older people at student functions." The land grant colleges which were studied comprise 16 per cent of the college population. This includes 100,000 men and 50,000 women. Among the institutions covered in the survey arc the Universities of Illinois, California, Missouri, Maryland, Tennessee, the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, and Purdue. u. s. c.

Featuring the girls' part of the program was an Apache dance by Misses Julia Aull and Bobbie Ellsworth. This was introduced with the singing of "Smile, Da? You, Smile," by the girls' glee club. "The Cigarette Girls/' a delightful piece centered around "My Cigarette Lady," was played by Misses Rowena Jones, Elise Leagare, Jane Ebaugh, and Elizabeth Carson. At the conclusion of this number, cigarettes were distributed through the audience. The Sweetheart Chorus, depicting a sailor's dream of his "girls in every port," was quite interesting and colorful. Those taking solo parts in this number were: Kina Gayden, representing China; Mary Pinckney, representing Holland; Virginia Blackwell, representing Ireland; Elizabeth Carson, representing the Orient; Margaret Locke, representing Hawaii; and Julia Aull, representing Spain. The chorus itself was composed of twelve members of the glee club, representing the above countries : Misses Jettic Edwards, Natalie Searson, Hattie Mae Still, 1*ranees Black, Theresa Hampton, Adele Livingstom, Mary Bradley, Willie B.

This was followed by the spiritual "On Revival Day." A group of spirituals including "Raising a Rukus," was rendered by the boys' Glee club. Following this was a song and dance number, featuring Herman Dorn. Concluding the program, a selected group of the Dean Dancers gave several numbers with the Glee clubs formed in a background. Y. W.

All members are urged to be present, as it is extremely necessary to get the machinery for picking the staff of the magazine in good working order.

Pan-Hellenic Council meeting Monday afternoon, it was decided to give a dance during June Week, setting Tuesday as the probable date. The plan as outlined by the Council is to establish a "Dance Week" for June Week, having a week of dancing to entertain out-of-town guests as well as the University set. Since this is to be the first year such an object has been attempted, the plan probably cannot be carried out in full, but much is being done to make this series of balls most entertaining. A committee composed of William Donelan, chairman, Ben SuraSky, "Hap" Edens, and Kenneth Grimsley was chosen to begin preparations for this dance. The dues, which are 50 cents for this dance, are to be paid by the fraternities not later than May 18. u. s. c. WHAT A TREASURER! If Lewis H. Wallace were to leave school without giving due notice, many campus organizations would find themselves without their hard-earned savings. Wallace is now treasurer of four organizations, besides holding other positions which might be unsafe in the hands of students of questionable morals. The last organization to elect him as treasurer was K. S. K., which did so last night. He holds this position in Sigma Delta Chi, Alpha Beta, and the South Carolina College Press Association.
