McKIJ WILL BALL By LeRoy Goof Want . Formal acceptance of the editorship Lof "I'.allyhoo" was made today by pean J. Rion McKissick of the School of Journalism in a communication with the publishers of the nationallyknown publication. & "When I become editor of Ballyhoo, , I expcct to continue the reputation | that lias been built up around this sheet," the editor-elect declared in a special interview with a reporter of The Lamecock. "Realizing as I do that the searchlight of public eyes will k be turned in my direction for leadership, I expect to walk as circum[;: spectly as preceding editors of Ballyhoo." : Selection of Dean McKissick as edi| tor of this publication comes as signal recognition of his ability as a i journalist. It had been rumored for some time that the faculty member was being offered the post of Church Reporter for the Clemson Tiger. : , However, proof was later established that this false alarm came as a result of a Carolina student seeing the Dean and the editor of the Clemson pkper in a huddle behind the stadium in Tigcrland. "I shall always cherish the fondest regards for my friends at the University," declared the editor-elect. "It is here alone -that I have found such amiable people, my students, who have been so good as to send me penny valentines and order Eskimo pies for themselves. Of course, I understand it was a mistake when the bill for the pies was sent to me on the first of the month." Perhaps the most touching scene of all that came after news had leaked out of the Dean's acceptance was when the legislature came en masse to the professor's home on the campus. Imposing in their attire of sackcloth and ashes, the lawmakers of South Carolina pleaded with the gentleman in an effort to get him to recall his act. "We promise to cut your salary only 50% next year," tearfully remonstrated Speaker Hamburger of the House. "If you leave this state at this time, you will prcfve yourself a traitor to the institution of which you are an alumnus and to those who have theprofoundest faith in you. Is it fair for you to leave the University for a mere $15,000 salary?" Speaker Hamburger reminded the Dean that while ditch-diggers were ?????

Rion McKissick receiving only $990.99 per year, the professor was drawing a salary of $1,259.33 "Is it fair for you to get paid such an enormous sum for swivelling in a chair while your brother State employee earns his widower's mites by sweating in a ditch?" Ignoring the reference to mites, Dean McKissick explained his feelings to the speaker and the general assembly standing with bowed heads on his lawn. "I feel that by accepting the editorship of Ballyhoo, Speaker Hamburger and gentlemen of the General Assembly, I shall be in a position to boost the Iodine content of South Carolina as well as give every one of you such publicity as will bring you before the nation's eyes. What one of you would not like to have your name so well known that you would be able to run for the presidency of the United States? "At the same time, as editor of Ballyhoo I expect to find positions for the journalism students graduating at the University. With the training that I have given them (applause), they are fully capable of assuming positions of responsibility on the staff of "Ballyhoo." With ambitious eyes turned toward the day when every single one of them would run for the presidency, the general assembly went back to their legislative halls, while the future editor cried upon the bosom of Governor Blackwood. The Dean's sobbing, however, ended when Mrs. McKissick said nothing about the newly-trampled lawn.

"Squirt 15c Ti ' Halsey Shows Good Spirits Sets Fine Example Star Newspaper Reporter, Recognized For Philanthropies, Contributes 15c By Havilah Babcock Setting an example for all other loyal alumni, "Squirt" Halsey '30, star reporter of one of the local newspapers, contributed 15c to the purchase of "Alumni Hall." "I hope to see the day come when the alumni of the University of South Calina will own both the second and third mortgages over 'Alumni Hall,'" Halsey ?3aid. "I feel that by having a place where the graduates may return and feel at home, much will be done in the way of uniting the alumni into one great body with one great purpose: to put the U. of Souf Calina on the map. "I do not mind contributing this sum if I know that in so doing I have done something to offset the damage I did my Alma Mater when I was there for four years. Further, if I can set an example for other interested alumni by this big donation, I will feel that all has not been in vain." Halsey is recognized for-his philanthropies. He operates slot machines during his spare time, and it is through this work that he has become known for circulating wooden nickels among the poor and needy. The 15c contribution, however, was bona fide as the gift was made on Easter Sunday. U. 8. o. New Dean | 1 vB?|M I mlI!

"In the first place I'm going to stop this thing of campus gentlemen having a woman in their room every night of the week. How can they study during the week with freemalcs hanging over their shoulders? The middle of the week is no time for them to be cutting such capers. "In the second place, I think that every Carolina gentleman owes it to himself and his future to see to it that he learns something of poker. What will the Northerner think of a graduate of this University if the alumnus has to confess embarrassedly that he knows nothing of poker when invited to 'join the fellows in a little game or two?' . "I think that all of our seniors should be cosmopolitan to the extent of knowing something about everything. That's why I say now that I think there's time to have guests of your own choice in your room as well as a time for studying, perhaps.

M. C. A.; Weil-Known "Y" Worker Robert W. Coggeshall of Darlington was elected to the Presidency of the Y. M. C. A. in one of the most hotly contested elections in recent j'ears. He defeated Black Wilson by a very small margin. The election caused unusual interest because of the numerous personal attacks made on both of the men in the race. It was even charged by supporters of Wilson that Coggeshall had been surprised in his room during his sophomore year taking a drink of wine. These rumors were proved to be absolutely without foundation for it has been definitely proved that Coggeshall has been one of the principal contributors to the W. C. T. U. "I don't know what we would have done without hiin," stated Mrs. Willie Deane, head of the Dry organization, when approached by Lamecock reporters. Before the vote was taken, members of the "Y" were led in a short devotional service by Johnnie Hart, prominent divinity student. In his opening prayer, Mr. Hart asked divine guidance in the selection of a man who would uphold the fine Christian ideals for which the "Y" has always stood. It was in direct answer to this prayer, the religionists claim, that Coggeshall was elected. Coggeshall is a prominent member of Alpha Tau Omega, religious leadership fraternity. Wilson, the defeated candidate, is reported, when told of his defeat, to have closed his eyes and said "Not my will but Thine be donel" LAMECOCK OFFERS LIST NEW WORDS The Lamecock has collected the latest in Carolina slang and expressions.
