' Former Editor Goes Crazy
H William Columbus (Billy Boy) Herbert, who a
Hfew, and only a few, students will remember at tended
this institution last year, was yesterday
admitted to the State Hospital a raving maniac
described as "in a dangerous state.'' And the
1 Horsed octor regrets that its manageiiient had
something to do with Billy Boy's getting in this
I condition. Quite innocently the editor asked Billy
Boy to contribute material for this issue. Being
I an obliging soul and having edited a paper of this
I color before, he agreed. Taking his typewriter in
, lap, he launched a story which in finished form was
I quite mirth-provoking. Ilis next was funny but
not so much as the first. The following story was
lacking altogether in humor and the next would
have been suitable for publication in the sanest
daily. By this time, Herbert was frothing at the
mouth. As humor had left him, so had his sense
powers. The two were interchangeable in Herbert,
hospital attaches said, and as he lost his sense of
humor he lost also his power to think and reason.
H The Ilorsedoctor regrets this error and takes this
means of correcting it.

"G-ive Professors Fifteen
Minutes," Say Students
Out of ten students selected at random who
were interviewed, all were of the opinion that professors
should be given fifteen minutes to reach
class instead of ten as is the custom at present.
Those interviewed were Amon Harrelson, King
Keyserling, Wysong Cox, Karl Clary, Freeman
Huskey, Nelson Fortson, Sam Galloway. B. M.
Ilavird, Joe Shinn and Joe Johnson.
The interview was suggested by Anion Harrelson
s action in reporting a class for leaving at nine
and a half minutes after the hour. Dr. Murchison
arrived at ten minutes after the hour to find
that only Harrelson remained of the entire class.
Brandishing his watch, Harrelson showed that the
class had walked out too soon. "I tried to keep
them here," he said, "but they wouldn't listen to
me." Kather than hold a class with only one pupil
in it, Dr. Murchison and Harrelson adjourned to
the beer garden.

"Bathing Suit, Spats For Me"?
Williamson
"Tuxedoes are luild to procure in these here hai
times and I think a good stiff bosommed batliii
suit accompanied by rose colored spats oughter 1
appropriate for any respectable dance," Leonai
Williamson, president of the student body said
a prepared speech before a meeting of the st
dent body in the penthouse over Dr. Foster's offi
yesterday.
The tlorsedoctor commends the terse and wel
phrased statement of Williamson's and stands b
hind him to the last bit. This and similar ac
have convinced the student body that its preside
is a man of strong convictions worthy of a stude
body like the University's which is also worthy <

And the same vica versa.
Other drastic changes were urged by Williar
son.
''This student body ought to pay two ($2) dc
lars instead of one for admission to the Carolin
Clemson game and twice as much as the Clemst
students to get into the fairgrounds (tremendoi
applause).
' The number of cuts allowed ought to be reduc<
to an irreducible minimum or lower. (Prolong*
applause and whistling).
''What we need are fewer football players ar
more marble shooters and fencers."
Here the applause grew so deafening that T
Foster came in and broke up the meeting, declarii
he would continue to have good football playe
brought to the University if it broke the athlet
association and that the students would be a
mitted free of charge to the Clemson-Carolii
game or there would be 110 contest.
lliose present at the meeting were Preside
Williamson, Secretary Tooley Gressette and Jam
II. Galloway. Galloway said he was in sympatl
with 110 part of Williamson's speech but he fc
good and wanted to aggrevate Dr. Foster so ]
applauded whenever the occasion presented itsel
Three hundred and fifty students were turn*
away due to lack of seating arrangements. T1
meeting was scheduled for the chapel but Secreta]
Gressette objected, declaring he would rather ha
a full house in Dr. Foster's penthouse with son
turned away than hold the meeting in the chapi
which seats four hundred, and have fifty vaca

Too Many Tennis Courts
There are many useless things at this instit
I tion which would probably be done away wi
were it not so well heeled financially but even
the face of its wealth there is one item of expen
which should be materially reduced. That ite
pertains to tennis courts. About twice as mai
courts exists as are needed. Walk about the car
pus any afternoon and the reason becomes a
parent at once. Where there formerly was a wai
ing line of four persons to pay doubles there nc
is only a waiting line of two who want to pli
singles. Singles is a waste of time and mone
Four benefit from doubles while only two bene
from a singles match. Do away with half of t
courts and students will have to play doubli
llnis time and effort will be saved.
If officials balk at ther idea of scrapping eight
ten of the courts in' order to double the waitii
line, the Horsedoctor suggests that those coui
which are selected to be scrapped be equipped wi
ping pong tables. Sixteen such tables could
placed on each court and while students were wa

amuse themselves and at the same time deri

Students who do not know how to play ping poi
could substitute tennis balls and recquet and pi

ads and jokes it contained. Riley
Brown, Herbert Giles and Quietus
Wardlaw, the representatives of the
University publication were ejectcd
from the convention hall for taking no
part in the round table discussion.
"I think it highly commendable of
the Gamecock for achieving such an
honor as fifth place considering the
small amount of work and great
amount of bulling that is done by the
staff," said J. Rion McScissors, dean
of the School of Jungleism at the
University of South Carolina.
The prize for the fifth place was a

immediately exchanged it for
light globes and scissors and presented
them as gifts to the School of Jungleism
laboratory.

ip WHILE THERE'S LIFE?
1" A
U- A recent development necessitated by
qq the depression is the removal of the Tri
Delts from their present club rooms on
.. Green Street to the building known as
" the Door of Hope. Another factor which
'? brought about this changc was the girls'
ts proximity to the Kappa Sigmas. Miss
lit Lucy DuBose when questioned on the
n J matter Was heard to remark, "Well, it
, was the Kappa Sigs' fault, not. ours.
0 What's a poor girl to do ?"
re
y. REMOTE CONTROL?
A story which originated on the Glee
Club's trip to Chicago has just crept
I back to these parts. It seems that during
their concert in the Windy City the
1" I audience became very obstreperous and
a- on occasion joined in the singing. The
)n reason for this was that when the Carollg
lina songbirds opened their mouths to
yodel the auditorium was so filled with
alcoholic fumes that the listeners were
jel completely asphixiated.
Jtl
TOO MUCH?
A recent graduate whose ability as a
Id toper was tested and proved during his
four years here, was up to his old tricks
>r under a table at the Metro last Sunday
night. He was weeping copiously and
0 lamenting his lost love. From his int?
coherent babblings the following was
;ic pieced together. He had secured a posi(1
tion as Fuller Brush salesman in Savatinab
and was working every other week
so that he could drink during the intervening
seven days. All was going well
lit until he invited a lady to take up her
es residence with him. For a while everyiy
thing was lovely, then the lady became
I peevish at his inability to sell enough
brushes to buy more than a quart a day.
ll? Finally she became so incensed that she
If. bounced a can of pineapple off his crajd
nium just to show how she felt on the
lie matter. "If she just hadn't selected
rv pineapple!" moaned our hero as lie sun

V.H.C
lie LIGON SHOVELS DIRT?
;] I Mary Begg Ligon was seen the other
nt (,a-v busily engaged in shoveling debris
lout of the Carolinian office. A small
group gathered around to watch Miss
Ligon's labors, but few seemed desirous
of assisting her. "What are you doing?"
li_ she was asked. With a sigh she replied,
til 1 m ,nerc'y Setting rid of all the dirt
left over from last semester's Carolinian
in and it's a job I'm loath to do." Many
SC students shared her sentiments.

jy ACQUIRING THE HABIT?
,1- The Sigma Nu's seem to be very fond
of the pile of mats in the back of the
P gym. At almost every dance one of their
Lt- members is seen lying prone on them at
>W one time or another during the evening.
iy It's getting so they have to reserve redining
space in advance and the waiting
list is said to be very long. At the opening
Damas one of their members set a
"? record which the others have yet to equal
es. lie slept on the mats from twelve o'clock
until five-thirty in the morning and had
to use a window to make his exit from
01 the building. At the last Social Cabinet
^8 brawl the chapter's lone football player
'ts did the honors. Such consistency is to be
tJi applauded.
jj? FABLE?
There were once three little Beers
1(1 Mamma Beer, Pappa Beer, and Little
ve Brown Beer. These three lived happily
ig. in a keg and were content until one daj
ng along came old Ciminc D. Penney, the
av CampUS aut,lority on sPO"ges. Professor
J Gimme saw the three Beers and they go!
his dander up. "I'm a better sponge than
any I can tell you about," shouted he as
11 he smacked his greedy lips. He grasped
11 the three Beers one after another and
1 zoop! there were no more Beers. He
?11 did the same for all the cousins and
uncles and aunts of the three Beers and
eventually declaimed, "'sail in the interesl
I of sdiensh!" Suddenly he turneel grecr
and disappeared around the nearest cor
ner.
Moral: Why try to bring bee* back!
It will return of its own accord.
INHUMAN?
I Papers throughout the state reccntl}
announced that the Furman authorities
had decided to sever all relations bctweci
the Furman boys and the Greenville Wo
man s College girls. Here we wish to entei
la protest. Things like that arc to busi
ness of the school authorities; they hav<
no right to break up families. Wha
can you expect of the next generation il
I their progenitors are to be separatee
forcibly so early in life?
SIGNS OF THE TIMES?
