All "Adore" It
By J. Rion McKissick
"Holding hands!" was the almost
unanimous reply of most students
Wednesday when asked what was
their favorite pastime.
One co-ed reminded the reporter
that a "nice girl has to hold some
boys' hands."
Jack Nathan said that while he was
"nice," he did not see the necessity of ^
letting a girl hold his hands. "I am *
too nice for such a thing, and, besides, 1
I may want to reach for a lucky any *
minute." *
Woodrow Lewis said that one had '
to hold hands in Darlington or the
two would be lost in the crowd. He
confessed that he still had the habit,
' although having left the home town j
ten years ago to get off a four-year
course at the University. He grad!
uates year after next.
John B. Plott said that every time he 1
held hands he imagined he was hold- 1
iug the hands of Bloody Mary, there- :
by preventing a murder. Plott is ex- 1
pected to be paroled from the state
hospital soon on good behavior.
"It satisfies," declared Jack Payne '
in speaking of holding hands. Maybe (
I a pain does have to be satisfied.
Roger Pinckney was almost non- j
committal on the query, but he was |
. i finally drawn out to admit "he kinda (
"I liked the idea." For that matter, Ida ,
i has attracted a number of ex-Beaufort
, swains.
^ ^ "It's none of your business why I j
l'ke holding hands because my hands
get cold sometimes," said Elizabeth
Moore. After all, who has a right to
I pick her dates?
Clara Martin prefers dropping handI
kerchiefs to holding hands, but she
I intimated she liked holding hands.
I "It reminds me so much of father
I and home." The co-ed has not reIB
ceived her check from home yet, and
I it's after the middle of the month.
H Henry M. McKinnon insinuated
I that he felt safer if he held his date's j
hands. "Date's cost enough money i

No Scalping

"To meet the ever increasing demand
for chapel seats, the faculty
"ecently agreed to allow students to
sell their seats to the highest bidder,
providing no one is caught scalping."
So declared Registrar Billy Wetmore
yesterday after being trapped
ay a Lamecock reporter as he caine
Dut of the faculty meeting.
"Students are warned now that if
they are caught infringing upon this
privilege by scalping they will be
hailed summarily before the honor

"Father said to be nice to the boy
friends and that's why I hold hands,"
said Mary Begg Ligon. "It's not a
bad idea on cold nights when the
gloves are missing. Summer nights
you may drift apart if you don't hold
hands."
Betty Bryan coyly let fall the belief
that holding hands showed a welldeveloped
technique, while Susan
Gassoway, her companion, said it set
her style off to a "t." Some tees break
and other teas are dumped into Boston
harbors.

Charlie Mercer
Tells Fish Story
Here's Charlie Mercer's latest. If
you are not in his class, you may "believe
it or not."
"While plowing out in a field one
day, I became so hot that I had to
ake off my vest, hanging it on a fence.
A calf chewed up the vest, including
my watch.
"The calf was recently butchered?
at the age of seven years. Lodging
between its lungs was.the lost watch.
"Respiration, the closing and filling
of the lungs, had kept the watch
wound," Professor Mercer said, "and
the timepiece had lost only four
minutes in seven years."
The professor is an assistant superintendent
of the First Baptist Sunday
school.

"Holding hands reminds me so
much of the good old days in Africa
when I held fingers upon fingers of
bananas," said Charles Cain after
lengthy deliberation.
Lillian Robinson said it paid to keep
in practice as Lochinvar might go
galloping by any minute and she expected
to be able to cope with the
situation at hand by hand.
Marian Finlay, in her quaint way,
declared that by holding hands it did
away with any possibility of the boy
friend getting away until desired. "He
won t get away frum me, if I gets my
paw on him."
While Robert H. McLane did not
threaten the "paw," he said he did not
intend to hold bands all the time.
"And besides, would Jawn Bull do it,
ole deah?" In his embarrassment the
reporter could only say that John
Bull was famous for rolling his own.

distinction of being placed on the
Dean's Dishonor List by busting three
or more subjects at mid-term.
"These young men and women,
bless them, have shown to me and
the world that they are sensible and
not crazy like the would-be Phi Beta
Kappas, and it is for this reason that
I gladly place them on my list," Dean
Bankhead said in an exclusive interview
with "Scoop" Brooker, star reporter
of The Lamecock.
Following are the students given
this recognition: Laura Williams,
George H. Wittkowsky, Yates Snowden,

Students To Be Searched For
Grapefruits Before Being Admitted
To Performance
By Joe Norwood
'Hold My Mule" will be the next
play to be staged by the Palmetto
Players. Negotiations are underway
to secure a barn for the staging of
the play, but it is understood that
Willie Dean and "Second-Mortgage"
Ernest Caughman cannot come to
terms about the leasing of Caughman's
barn.
. . . 7,
The play portends to portray a
cross-section of American life. The
mule, the carriage, the harness, and
the road are all obviously Amcfrican
as they are presented on the stage.
The scene is laid in America. Did you
think it could be laid in a hen-nest?
N. B. Hicks takes the leading role
as Mr. Mule, while he is ably supported
by J. W. Hayes as Mr. Harness,
Eugene Halsey as Miss Carriage,
and King Keyserling as the road.
Hicks won out over strong competition
by reason of his vocal organs,
as these are vital to the success of the
one taking the role as Mr. Mule.
Director Dean has requested all
merchants to sell out their supply of
grapefruits before the play is presented.
All students will be searched
before being allowed to witness the
performance.
