Dr.Wauchope Once Captain Did you know that Dr. G. A. Wau chope once held the military title of cap tain? s He was temporarily given that distinc tion when on the Horner Military In- r stitute faculty at Oxford, N. C. After receiving the B. A. and M. A. t degrees from Washington and Lee Uni versity, he taught in Richmond, Va., and t then returned to his alma, mater as assistant professor of modern languages. Doctor Wauchope then took a trip to Europe, and when he returned he found i that he was without a position. He then accepted work at Horner. C In 1891, he became assistant professor c of English at the University of Missouri, - and four years later went to the Univer sity of Iowa. There he met the future t Mrs. Wauchope, who was visiting in ' the home of one of his friends. i After taking more graduate work at Harvard, the professor was made literary 0 critic for the D. C. Heath Publishing c Conipany, of Boston. It happened that in 1898 Dr. F. W. Woodward, president and professor of English at the University of South Caro lina, needed an active head for the de partment of English. Professor Wau chope was recommended by a professor here who had read one of the former's books. Not knowing the correct address, a letter was addressed to the desired man, in care of his publishing concern. Doctor Wauchope accepted the offer, and is now in his thirty-third year of ser vice for the University. From the point of service, he is the second oldest fac ulty member here.

Paul Robelot These five men-Captain Bob John n, Alternate Captain Paul Gaffney, Paul obelot, Porcher Hopkins and Fritz urner-will play their last game for arolina next week. They have won and ost for alma mater for four years. They ave fought desperately. They have re eived many blows, which we not on the luad, would consider unhuman. They ave taken and given beatings that we 'ould never adhear to. But this is beside the point. What we, as students, want to know what kind of fellows they are. First comes Captain .Bob Johnson who as played exceptionally good ball this ear. Bob has few hobbies besides foot all, but he likes to bowl every now and ten with his girl. His bowling game not so good, however, since he only ioots a mere 125-50 with duck pins. [e and Paul Gaffney are very partic lar about which picture of them is rinted in a newspaper. Often, Johnson . as been heard to complain: "Please n't run that picture. It's horrible. ly girl won't speak to me if she sees iat likeness in print. Can't you get le of me with a long face, if you have > run one ?" Alt. Capt. Paul Gaffney is bashful in way. He has a girl too, in case you b aven't heard. And he'd fight 40 bulls a irehanded for her, if she'd say the word. [is verosity is exceeded only by his inning ways. Often he expounds his cal chords to stress a point, and if t< iese c->rds won't stress. the point, he ses his muscles. Some members of the 1 juad call him "goofy" but they retract n ieir statements when they note his huge l rms and developed body. After hav ig written his name on the barn door i F a prominent citizen in Greenville, he r pproached Johnson and said, "Let's buy it paper. I may have my picture in the ciety news." M Paul Robelot, who made Banjo Smith's it 1-state team, is one of the strongest i. en in the state. If you don't believe it, tl take hands with him sometime. He will Ii ake your hand feel like it has been f< -ushed by a steam roller. Robelot keeps t aining all the time. His main hobby, e asides football, is bull shooting. He s ijoys talking to people and telling them c w Carolina is going to fight for all - s worth in the next game. He likes n >r his father and mother to come up a id watch him play. He always does n etter when they are around. His fight ig spirit and determination in all proba- f lity will land him a far sight better s >sition in life than all-state football - 2nors. Porcher Hopkins is a cool, reliable is ack, a good runner and passer. He en- a >ys eating ice-cream and drinking choco- k4 te milk shakes. Doesn't drink, smoke, d r stay up late at nights even when he's t Insurance' BELLS A POLICY SUITAN EACH MMER O INDUSTRIAL "It is bettor to have it and1 and not b WEDNESDAY "ALONG CAME LOVE" -With Irene Hervey Charles Starrett PAUL GRICFNE1 College Has Old Articles Century-old chemical apparatus is to e found in the chemistry department t the University of South Carolina.

Roberts Host To Camera Clubbers Holding its first semi-monthly meeting of the month, the Columbia Camera Club. was entertained by several reels of Eu ropean scenes taken by Professor Carlisle Roberts of the University Law School. Many of the scenes were shown in natural colors through the aid of the Kodacolor, a camera which will take pic tures in their natural colors. New processes which have recently been discovered aided in the picture reels of Venice and Holland in their natural colors. Professor Roberts explained the pic tures and his remarks kept the audience in an uproar. Edward Ball of Columbia was accepted as a new member of Chenes Walling of Chicago and Harvard was a visitor. -U. S. o. Gardner Scores Hit R. K. Timmons, chief gardener at the University, has been an employee here for twelve years. AITeciinately known to Carolina students and alumni as "Uncle Fruit," he came to America from Eng land and worked as a stone-cutter. He was hired by the University in 1924 and has given continuous service since. Gossip has it that he once ordered a person off the grass on the campus. "Do you know who I am?" asked the walker. "I am the president of the University." "That makes no difference," replied "Uncle Fruit," "You should be ashamed of yourself and are more to blame than anyone."
