Local Street
Car Is Stolen
Authorities B aff 1 e d
Campus Kleptomaniac E lu d e s
Forces Of Law In Attempt
To Prove Theory
The final episode in a war with the local
street car company seemed to have gotten
under way to-day when Herman Patterson,
prominent University student, stole
one of the new street cars which had been
ordered to replace those which lie had
rendered useless last week, and locking
himself up in it, successfully coinbatted all
attempts to dislodge him.
As the Horsedoctor went to press, Patterson
was running the stolen car up and
down the Gervais street hill, sipping rice
wine all the while and thumping his famous
nose at the frantic troops of national
guardsmen who were rushed to the
scene.
Patterson, one of the brighter luminaries
of the school of Kducation, came
into international prominence last week
when lie closed the doors of all the local
street cars thereby forcing the company
to buy new ones. Patterson stated to Dr.
Calcott of the History department who
has been his intermediary during the entire
affair that he closed the street car
doors in order to find out if it was possible
to open them from the outside. He
was elated with the success of the experiment,
and for many hours rode all
HG&- over the city with John Marion and Dr.
KA Patterson Wardlaw hunting a fourth at
' bridge.
Early yesterday, Patterson gave the auI
thorities the slip and stole the new car
V.! which he continues to run up and down
r:- -j the Gervais stree hill except for brief
1 excursions to replenish his stack of rice
j wine. Airplanes were reported to be on
their way from the Quantico Marine base
i to join in the attempt, now nation-wide
in its scope, to dislodge this extraordinary
\ young man from his car.
I Giles Plans To
I Edit News Sheet
i" ! John A. Giles, former editor of The
? j Gamccock, has announced the tentative
plans for a new city newspaper to be
modelled after his favorite sheet, the Columbia
Record.
The main feature of the paper, and at
the same time its most notable departure
1 after its model, is that it will appear at
' exactly midnight. Following the Record's
I lead, the new paper will carry only very
light headlines, devoting the space thus
saved to a full expounding of the news.
Mr. Giles gave two reasons for the unusual
hour of issue. "In the first place,"
said the future editor, "I think that this
plan will improve the general state of
knowledge of most journalists. Although
they put the news together, they never
get a chance to read it. Now what I intend
to do is to place this paper in those
places where they go at about 12 o'clock
to obtain a cup of coffee, so that they
can read as they eat.
"In the second place, it will prevent a
lot of unwanted criticism, since only those
who actually want to read the news will
bother to get the paper at this time. Consequently,
a better type of news will be
possible, so that instead of writing up
politics, earthquakes and other such superficial
subjects, we can devote more of our
columns to art and literature."

Decide To Issue Blanket Bids To
All Men On Campus;
Money Needed
The Benedict Ajaxes will play for the
annual Easter German of the University
German club it was announced
yesterday by Marshall Williams, president
of the club. The announcement
followed a special meeting of the club
which met at the Sigma Nu house on
Pulaski street.
The meeting had originally been
called to meet today in the law building
but Williams said that on petition
of Baynard Whalcy, Bill Ouzts, Abie
Biharie, and "Greezy" Graham the
time and place had been changed at
the last minute. The petitioners are
members of the Sigma Nu and Alpha
Tau Omega fraternities and pleaded
that unless the change were made they
would be unable to attend on account
of sickness.
At the same meeting it was decidcd
to issue a blanket bid to all men on
the campus to enter the club. "We
have been getting too damn snooty and
conservative," was the comment
Johnny Bowden, member of the Phi
Kappa Sigma fraternity and only other
man present at the meeting. "Besides,
we need more money."
Late yesterday several other members
of the club stated that they plan
to dispute the legality of the meeting
on the grounds that the place of the
meeting would not be sanctioned by
the University authorities. Those who
intend to make the protest arc the following:
Bill Friar, Joe Miot, Joe Hall,
John Marion, Frank Gibbcs, Caldwell
Zimmerman, Henry Foster, and Fred

"The gospel of Soft-soaping," was I

before a languid group of co-eds late ^
last night. With the exception of a

"There is too much jaw slinging and I

"If you would sleep as much as you

would find your perpetually stewed 1
condition more palatable and con-1
gruous to the somnolent gymnastics
of the campus. I
"Besides, with beer becoming available

fluttering little flatteries. And, in ad-I ^

this art. His most recent, Types of j

In this volume he discusses different jtl
types of fencing including chicken wire, la
barbed wire and wooden. In the pre- f(

preciation to Mr. Spaul Wimpoly, for c
his aid in collecting material for this I

Swooping down upon an unsuspecting

Alpha chapter of the S. P. C. A.
outfit had six students of assorted sexes
expelled for cruelty to animals.
Three male students were discharged
for cutting up bats, which they caught
on the wing on the streets near the campus.
Jawn Nutt Galloway, Cab Galloway's
cousin, was shipped from the campus in
a westerly direction down Pendleton street
by the S. P. C. A.'s, who said they found
him whipping his dog unmercifully behind
the biology laboratory.
All four pleaded that they were handling
the critters in the name of science,
biology in particular, but the excuse was
wretchjected by the S. P. C. A. chapter.

Due to the fact that Carolina and

support an athletic event of such im
portance Dr. Ralph Foster announced
that the knitting bout between Queen
Mab Dowling and Queen Bess Johnson
has been transferred to the ball
ground at Newberry. The student activity
books when presented with the
usual extra dollar will assure students
good seats located neatly behind the
gold posts. The event will take place
at a date to be set later.
I reached this decision after weighing
all the evidence and I find that for
the good of the gate receipts I am
compelled to make this change, besides
>t 1 did otherwise it would be against
the precedent set by the Auburn-Caroa

such accomplished knitters as Dowlin*
and Johnson have so large a following

Due to the two gentlemen's sweet
personalities and proficiency in their
chosen field they have acquired a large
group of supporters (many'of which
have garnet and black stripes and were
knitted by the young men themselves
in their spare time) and for these and
other reasons Dr. Ralph Foster thinks
best that their contest be staged in
some place more suitable than the University.

Schneider Has
Too Much "It"
U Can-, (Phil Me UP) Schneider,
alias Little Dave," announced last
night that he had appealed to Chief of
1 ohee Kawlinson for a personal bodyguard.
In his plea before Chief Rawhnson,
Schneider claimed that for the
past six weeks he had been continually
accosted by women, grudgingly admitting
when questioned that it was
probably due to his silky hair, smooth
features, and blue eyes, but adding
hastily, however, that he couldn't help
having these attractive features and he
should be protected.
Foggy Sylvan Rosen and Groggy Irvine
Levkoflf, both friends of Schneider's,
when the subject was broached, went into
tirades accusing women of bein? too
handy and calling upon students to rise
up against such practices as have been
operated against Schneider.
Schneider is well known here since he
has indorsed Keeley's hair tonic, Henncn's
powder and Duchy cigarettes.

Dean Threatened
By Angry Actor
Miss Mildred Stanstill, former student
of dramatic art under "puffessor" William
Dean at the University, has threatened
Mr. Dean with retaliation if he insists
upon invading the enlightened northland
with his production of Edgar Allan
Poe.
Miss Stanstill, who is now appearing in
ew York in a play, says that she will
bring her play to Drayton Hall, buy out
t >e whole hall, and fill it with descendants
of the characters of her play, if he dares
ring his production north of the Mason
and Dixon line.
She has been attempting to organize a
club named "Actresses Who Have Appeared
in Plays Produced by William j
Dean, and Now Playing in the North."
The movement has gained considerable j
avor in New York, and apparently Miss
Stanstill wishes to maintain that prestige.
Upon inquiry, she refused to say to
wh.it she attributed her success.
U. B. V.- .
University were not old enough to appreciate
real art.
