Boys Vote For Steak Outclassing even the universally popular chicken, steak led as the fav orite meat at the men's mess hall at Carolina, according to a recent survey carried on by the committee on cafe terias. Blanks were given students on which they reported their favorite foods and were given a chance to make com plaints. Of the 500 students eating at Stew ard's Hall only one complained of not getting enough to eat. Veal cutlets were the third most popular meat and believe it or not, but ter beans were the popular choice for the leading vegetable. A menu of the meals to be served the followving wveek is submitted to the University officials who see that a correct diet is giveni the studlents. A varied diet andl more deserts were some of the add(itions reqluested b)y the students. Th'le boy's mess hall has been under the direction of Messrs. Boyd and Hughes for a number of years. Students Wer In "Go, Discontentment over food servedl at Steward's hall recently is nothing, compared to some of the disturbances that have occurred in the annals of the University. In 1812 a sacrifice was made to thc god of the river. Students, growing tired of meat served in Stewvard's hall, captured a steer destined for the table and decorated his horns and body with paper, cloth and ribbons in artistic fashion. After an elaborate and im pressive ceremony, the steer was driven through the streets of Colum bia anid then down to the Congaree river where he was drowned. Disgruntled students, in 1853, started a biscuit battle in the mess hall, be cause they did not like the type bread they hadl to eat.

Fred DesPortes traveled 1,800 miles from Guatemala, Central America, and holds the honor of traveling the long est distance to the University. The trip took seven days by boat and train before reaching South Carolina. Canada sends one representative in the person of W. A. Connolly, who hails from Morrisburg, Ontario prov ince. He rode for two days without making but one stop for gas and drove alone for the 1,400 mile jaunt. The trip was made in a Canadian made four cy'lindler Ford. Gilbert Colina took third place in the distance contest hy traveling 1,200 miles by boat, trainu and bus from his home in Casilda, Cuba. Colina made his first trip to "the states" in a fruit truck but consumed so much of the fruit that he wvas sick for three clays after, he reached South Carolina. e Rough >d Old Days" staged, biscuits being used as amnmu nition. Several students once stole into Dr. J. William Flinn's yard and started picking one of his favorite turkeys. The students were caught and, instead of punishing them, D)octor Flinn in vited themi to a turkey dinner. A professor, during ante-bellum days, heard thieves whispering among themselves in his chicken yard. Hie arose from his bed and yelled at the intruders who were students, asking them who was stealing his fowls. "Ah, it's just us chickens," was the reply. The professor returned to bed.

Three Things Cause Crime Says J. B. McCutchen Euphradians Hear Address On Crime Conditions By Winner Of State Oratorical Contest Crime in America today is caused by three things: bad conditions in the homes of the nation, the existence of crooked law, of corrupt pardon boards and of graft in the courts, and the ex pIloitation of the criminal by the news papers of yellow journalism. That is the opinion of John B. McCutchen, state oratorical champion, wvho spoke before the Euphradian literary society TIuesdlay night on the subject of "Crime." "The nation cries out against the horrors of crime, and it depends on you, the youth of the nation, whether it shall be answered. A large body of our population are uninformed in the idlea that crime is confined to the lower classes of the big metropolitan dis tricts. Our criminal hoard today is from all strata of society," Mr. Mc Cutchen said. Mr. McCutchen told of an experi ence of his in which he saw two of the boys with whom he had gone to high school condemned to die because of murder. The mother of the sentenced men, when she heard the verdict could only murmur, "Are these my chil dren?" "That is what the nation is asking today when it looks at the crim inal: 'Are these our children?' Yet the criminals are America's own sons and daughters," Mr. McCutchen stated. "Every forty-five minutes some body's son murders a fellow citizen. Yet the reign of terror of crime has failed to infuse us with the horror of crime. In its melodramatic atmosphere we have lost sight of the wreckage left behind. Organized crime threatens to put us in the shambles of wreckage. It is because of national indifference
