I Groups To Bo Formed In Counties
PAnd Congressional
Districts
Alumni groups in the various coun'
ties will organize during the first few
v weeks of the new year, according to
B.'A. Early, alumni secretary. The
;first meeting will be held by the
}. alumni of Florence and Darlington
; counties during the first week of January.
Other groups will meet soon
I after.
v Such alumni groups have met before
but the meetings have been irregular
u. and the organization loose. The present
plan is for the groups to meet at
regular and frequent intervals. The
purpose is to keep the alumni in closer
S jtouch with the University and to get
better co-operation from all alumni.
To supplement the organizations in
| the counties there will be an organization
in each of the seven congressional
districts composed of delegates from
each county organization within the
district. Vice-presidents of the
Alumni association in the districts will
act as presidents of the district groups,
j County officers will be elected by the
county organizations.
These organizations will in.no way
take the place of the Alumni association
now functioning, but will merely
supplement its work.

One Blonde And Three Brunettes
Make Matrimonial Proposals
By Proxy
Co-eds in search of husbands need
have no fear of spinsterhood if the response
from all unmarried males is as
opportune as one written to the editor
on the strength of last week's
^feature on the spouses desired by
Carolina females. Lend an ear to
this epistle from some poor lonely
soul in a big city up No'th:
Helene Apt. B-17
Camden, N. J.
Hello Girls:
Tonight while looking over all the
football scores, I noticed something
a little more interesting in the Philadelphia
Ledger. *
I see where those college girls at the
University of S. Caroline are up and
at those old tricks again. Your proposition
sounds good, but how about
the fellow that comes up to all expectations?
Maybe the girls wouldn't.
Nevertheless, send me some snap
shots and ask me any questions you
wish and I'll answer.
Maybe some of these fellows that
l?vc in the same apt. with me will
come up to some of your girls' standards.
We have four fellows here.
One blonde,\but no dimples. All
three others are black headed, one
with wavy hair, tall, dark, and from
Ala.
W. 'Gilbert.
Thanks I Gilly, ole pall There is
uo doubt but that the mail service
will pick up as the co-eds at the University
send their mail through to you
and the other three matrimonial prospects,
one from Ala. But big boy!
./ou sure better learn that an 'a" goes
the end of Caroline before you
pick a southern girl for your better
half!

Wauchope Goes
On Trip Soon
Robert Wauchope, Phi Beta Kappa
graduate of last semester and son of
Dr. Wauchope, is thriving at Harvard,
according to Prof. Oscar L. Keith!
who recently returned from that institution,
where he attended the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary cele-*'
bration of Phi Beta Kappa.
Wauchope is studying anthropology,
and is booked for a trip to South
America this summer, said Prof.
Keith. "I called at Robert's house
when I arrived at Harvard, but he
was not in. At the Phi Beta Kappa
banquet, however, the delegate next
to me got a coughing fit and had to
leave, and Robert Wauchope came
over and sat down beside me."
Ernest Lucas, another Phi Beta
Kappa graduate of last Semester, is
also at Harvard, but Professor Keith
did not see him.

Group Meets
Rankin And Urquhart Read Papers
At Engineer Meeting Held
In Gainesville, Pla.
Carolina was represented at the
Fourth District Student Conference
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, which met December the
fourth and fifth at the University of
Florida in Gainesville, Florida, by
W* S. Smith, L. E. Rankin, A. R.
Urquhart, C. O. Warren, and Professor
T. F. Ball.
Rankin and Urquhart submitted
papers at the conference. First place
was given to William S. New of the
University of Tennessee, while T. S.
Murphy, Jr. from Georgia Tech took
second place with a paper entitled "XRays
for the Boiler Maker." George
W. Haitg of the University of Florida
won third place with "Radio Broadcast
Remote Control."
The delegates represented the south
astern part of the United States. Some
of the schools represented were North
Carolina, N. C. State, Duke, Univer;
sity of Kentucky, Georgia Tech, University
of Florida, University of Alabama,*
V. M. I., V. P. I., University of
Tennessee, Auburn, and Clemson.
Friday evening of the fourth, those
attending the convention were guests
at a banquet given by Upsilon chapter
of Sigma Tau, national honorary engineering
fraternity. An interesting
feature of the banquet was the menu
which was made up of electrical terms.
It \vas as follows:
Phase Rotation

IT. 8. O. Society
Debates
On Santa Claus
A debate, "Resolved, that there is a
real Santa Claus," was the feature of
the last meeting of the Hypatian literary
society. Those taking part on the
affirmative side were Mildred Mitchell
and Emily Evans, with Cecil Richmond
and Ray Mark upholding the
negative.
Proving their point of the reality of
a Santa Claus, the affirmative side contended
that the very fact of our being
able to see a real one and that our
parents have always told us of his
existence, along with the fact that
reliable people do not tell untruths,
is sufficient evidence.
The negative side argued that the
existence of a Santa Claus is merely
legendary, as are many other stories
connected with Christmas. , Also, that
we only see someone dressed as
Santa and not the real man; that this
belief adds more to the fun for the
children at Christmas and is, therefore,
allowed.
The judges decided in favor of the
affirmative side?and Santa Clau9.

Societies Hold
Joint Meeting
Euphradian And Clariosophic
Place Oratorical Medals With
Debating Council
The joint session1 of the two mens
literary societies, meeting in the Euphradian
hall last Tuesday night, passed
a motion that* the fixing of a date and
place for inter-society contests be
turned over to the University debating
council. The contests include the
Keitt oratorical medal, the Sylvan
medal for oratory, and others.
The motion was proposed by R. H.
Atkinson, who made a short talk in
favor of it. After some argument,
an amendment was offered by J. W.
Lewis, who suggested that the date of
any contest and the place be posted in
four conspicious spots by at least
three weeks before the event comes
off. This was agreed to and incorporated
into the motion. It was then
passed on favorably by the joint session.
By the new system, it is hoped that
any inconvenience and difficulty that
has been experienced before in the
staging of these contests will be eliminated.
According to the terms of the
motion, sufficient time will be given
to enable any prospective contestant
to prepare his entry.

A class in radio announcing is being
offered at the State University of
Iowa.
To prove that college professors
are always informed of the current
events happening in the sporting
world as well as other interesting
events we note that the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers
University admitted last year
that he had never listened to Amos
'n* Andy and that four days after the
World Series had ended he did not
know who the contestants were or
who had won.
Our vote (or the best single issue
of any paper received as yet goes to
the Hoodoo Number of the Colgate
Maroon. This issue came out on Nov.
13, on the eve of the big game with
Syracuse. It was published in magazine
style, consisted of sixteen pages,
and had a huge maroon "C" on the
cover. It contained facts about the
Colgate and Syracuse grid teams besides
giving the personel, . starting
lineups, and many interesting pictures
and stories about the two traditional
rivals. Incidentally, the Maroon went
out the next day and defeated the
hitherto unbeaten Orange from Syracuse.
Professor Mosely, head of the Tulane
University chcmistry department,
states that another war is inevitable.
He also says that the next
warfare will be decided pretty largely
on the chcmical preparedness of the
contesting parties, and that there will
be no such thing as trenches, since
they will be ineffectual to combat the
terrible effects of poisonous gases,
which, lie contends, is going to be the
principal ammunition used.
Three blond co-eds at Wittenberg
University recently debated with three
dark-haired girls from the same institution
on the subject that brunettes
were more intelligent than blondes
and lost by a vote of 47-2S.
Students must shed vests in the
sanctum of the Columbia University
library. The students must either retain
their jackets or divest themselves
of both coat and jacket. The idea is
that a "vestless" or a "jacketed" student
body makes a more favorable
appearance.
Creighton University has a flying
professor in the person of Elzear J.
Moreau, assistant professor of modern
languages. The professor began
his flying career last July and after a
slight interruption, ?only recently
again started to take lessons. Golf,
says the professor, has never held any
attraction for him, but he has always
wanted to fly.

At Syracuse University students
may drop into any class that they
feel like that they are not registered
for without being disturbed, but they
may not cut one class in order to attend
another.

Catty Fingers
Handle Food
Anatomy Students Interrupt Dissection
Of Feline To Eat With
Unwashed Hands
Rosalyn Keyserling conducted an
experiment in gastronomies recently in
Dr. Penney's Comparative Anatomy
class. The experiment was pronounced
an unexpected success by the
doctor.
The class had just begun work on
and the class had just begun work on
some embalmed members of the cat
family. After waiting for everybody
to get his fingers covered with embalming
fluid and bits of flesh and fat,
Miss Keyserling brought forth a paper
napkin containing slices of fruit cake
and cookies. She announced that it
was her birthday, and invited everybody
to join the feast.
A few members of the class hastily
washed their fingers and tackled the
cake with their bare hands; others
didn't bother to wash, but simply tore
off bits of the paper napkin to hold
the dainty morsels. No one experienced
any trouble in getting it
down, not even the girls; and there
was only one slice left for Dr. Penney.
"I'm not going to worry about this
class any more," said Dr. Penney. "If
you can eat and dissect at the same
time, you're good."

Local Germans
Organize Here
Ellis Craps Elected President Of
Language Study Club Recently
Formed
"DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN," an
organization composed of students of
the German language at this University,
was formed on December 3 at
a meeting which was held for that
purpose. The primary object of the
society is to instill into the students
a true appreciation of the German language,
literature, and customs.
Ellis Crapps, who was elected president
of the club, made a short inaugural
address. The other officers
chosen arc Esther Glascr, vice-president;
Ethel Galloway, recording secretary;
Verna Ayer, corresponding
secretary; and Mildred Montheit,
treasurer.
The meetings are to occur bimonthly,
at each of which an enlightening
and interesting program on
some phase of German life or customs
will be presented.
Other charter members of the
organization besides the officers are
Fannie Cooper, Ralph Derrick, Frost
Walker, and Ben Woodruff. Dr. F. W.
Bradley, head of the German department,
and Lieutenant C. F. Duffner
are faculty advisors.

Drunk Creates
Big Commotion
East Monday morning at the unearthly
hour of five-thirty a. m. the
occupants of Harper and Elliott Colleges
were rudely awakened by the
loud honking of an automobile horn.
The raucous noise continued for some
minutes before a would-be ? sleeper
screwed up enough courage to investigate.
. Meanwhile there were cries of
"What do you want? We'll give you
anything you want."
Nevertheless the racket continued,
until a pajama-garbed student dashed
out and discovered that an intoxicated
man had dropped off to sleep and had
fallen across the horn.
It is not often that a "drunk" on
the University campus receives as
much attention as did this early morning
marauder. Our hats are off to
him!

Townsend Belser New
Law Class Secretary
At a special meeting of the Junior
Law class last Tuesday afternoon
Townsend Belser of Columbia was
elected secretary-treasurer of the
group. Belser came to Carolina last
February after having gained his B. A.
degree at Washington and Lee University.
While at Washington and
Lee he was active in varsity wrestling
and was a member of the Phi Delta
Theta fraternity. Since coming to
Carolina he has been active in the
Euphradian literary society.

Freshmen students at Washington
and Lee University were admonished
and warned by the Freshmen council
that they would tolerate no more
crashing of shows. Frosh have no
right to crash shows as they think
that they have, the article states, and
the only time such actions are permitted
is the night before the Virginia
game and on Freshman night.
