Freak Desires
Are Exposed
Dr. Bonn Would Be A RahRah
Frosh Again And A
Bear With Ladies
. -<5' By Mary Ford
"I'd tike to tear a telephone from the
wall and throw it into the street below;
I saw a reporter on The State
do it once, and I've longed to follow
his example ever since"!
That is the suppressed desire of Dr.
Reed Smith, dean of the University
graduate school.
Other unrequitable yens expressed by
students and professors were unique and
unusual but all paled before the graduate
school dean s. Some of them were;
Dr. E. T. Bonn: I'd like to be a
rah-rah freshman again, and a perfect
bear with the ladies.
L. L. Gregory: I'd like to sit in a
rocking chair for the rest of my days and
watch the blue sky.
Esther Webber: To print a book
about my operation.
Prof. J. M. Stokes: To be a head
waiter.
Nora Sparkman: To pass psychology.
John Brantley: To hunt lions in Africa
and be the cream in somebody's
coffee.
Bryan Walton: To be the cherry
in somebody's fruit salad.
Lucille Grant: My suppressed desire
is to ride a motorcycle.
Dr. G. A. Wauchope: I'd like to
go to Europe again, particularly to Italy,
where I'd like to revisit the shrine of
Dante.
Julian Bradsher: My suppressed desire
is to make A on math next semester.
Lib Cornwall: To chew chewing gum
as loud as I please without anybody
fussing at me.
Prof. Vernon Cook: To go to Athens,
spent at least a year there, and see
all the famous places I've read about.
Prof. J. E Norwood: To own some
eighteenth century prints, books, and
etchings.
Jim Walters: To get married.
Dr. F. W. Bradley: I'd like a seat
on the bank of a quiet stream "far
from the maddening crowd," with the
fish biting fast and strong, and no mosquitoes.
Philip Sabbagha: To grow six inches.
Prof. R. H. Winenfeld: To drown
about 500 students.
Wilhemina Robinson: I'd like to get
my salary.
Prof. O. F. Crow: To be a retired
millionaire and do what I please. I'd
like to go to Paris, visit the Cafe de la
Paix, and let the rest of the world go
by.
Prof. Emmett Kilpatrick: To take
a trip into foreign countries with some
of my students. I'd like to see their
reactions to certain places and events.
W. M. Walker. I'd like to make A
on Greek.
Dr. Havilah Babcock: I think it
would be a good idea to have a Dictaphone
and deliver my lectures into it.
I could use the same records year after
year, because I tell the same jokes
anyway, and say "Be quiet, John Smith"
occasionally. Then while the lecture was
being run off I could be out fishing.

Professor Relates
Anecdote On Thomas]
One of the most celebrated wits of
ante-bellum South Carolina was Burlington
Thomas of Georgetown, according
to a professor at the University of
South Carolina who related this story:
Once Thomas drove up to a planter's
home to call on the ladies. As he handed
the reins of his horse to a young negro,
he said:
"Boy, take this quadruped, stabulatc
him, donate to him an adequate supply I
of nutritious ailment, and, when Aurora
illumines the western horizon, I will
compensate you for your generous lios-1
pitality." - J'
The negro dropped the reins, rtished
to his master, and exclaimed: "Dere's
a crazy white man at de door!"
Total Enrollment For
Semester Is Normal
With examinations and registration
over, students have once again settled
down to the work. New students, freshmen
and transfers from other institutions
were registered only after taking
psychological tests.
Officials announced that although registration
figures were not ready for release,
the total enrollmr would be normal
or about the same as at the end of
the second semester last year.

Univ. Orchestra
Gives Concert
In Drayton Hall
Will Be First Appearance Of
Carolina Orchestra In
Drayton Hcdl
When Ihc University Symphony orchestra
presents its Victor Herbert concert
March 2, it will be the orchestra's
first appearance in Drayton Hall. Formerly
concerts have been given in the
chapel.
The program of Victor Herbert music
will include selections from the following:
"Babes in Toyland," "Red Mill,"
"Naughty Marietta," "Fortune Teller,"

The University Symphony orchestra
is composed largely of students of the
University. Leon Keaton, newly-elected
president of the Euphradian Literary Society,
is president; Mme. Felice deHor- I
vath, teacher of violin at the University,
is conductor.
Freshmen Are
Well Preparedj
Entering freshmen arc well prepared
in their work, according to Professor
H. C. Davis of the department of English.
Not only are they equipped to
master the technical details of their
English work but they show an excellent
attitude toward their work in general.
Professor Davis attributes these improvements
to a progressive educational
program among the schools of South
Carolina. As the February freshmen I
usually come from the larger high I
schools of the state, they are the first to
benefit by this program. "The current
depression is another steadying influence I
on our new group of freshmen," says I
the professor.
Circulation Of
Library Shown
Thirteen thousand, one hundred and
nine books were borrowed from the University
of South Carolina library during
1932, according to Miss Mary Mills,
desk attendant at the library.
During the six weeks of summer school,
1,000 volumes were lent to the students
enrolled.
These figures show an increase over
the number of books taken out in 1931,
the number then being 10,932 in the
regular school session, and 983 in sum- I
mer school.
The number of current magazines lent
to the professors in 1932 was 775 during
the school session, and 121 in summer
school.

Max Monitor Gives
Readings In German
Readings in German from the two
plays of Goethe's Iphigenia were given
by Mr. Max Montor, an interpreter of
character of international reputation,
last Monday evening at 8 o'clock in
Drayton Hall.
In his talk, Mr. Montor gave an interpretation
of Shylock and Nathan the
Wise. In his introductory remarks he
contrasted the treatment of the Jew on
one hand by Shakespeare, and on the
other hand by Lessing. He showed that
they were actually persecuted, and that
there were two opposing attitudes.
While playing on the German stage
some years ago, Mr. Montor played opposite
many of the stars of Germany,
among them being Max Rhinehardt.
The Karl Schurtz memorial foundation
of Philadelphia furnished to the
people of Columbia the opportunity of
hearing Mr. Montor.
