Carolina BY SPRUCE WHITE The other day, a friend of ours met his lost rib, (at least that is what he says). Now we don't know, but this is his de scription of her: "She house for herself, at least, an apartment. She cooks all her meals, even lunch. She works as a stenographer all day and comes home at night to tidy up the house. One night last week, I dated her and when I arrived, she had supper on the table. Of course, I was invited to eat. After supper she made me help with the dishes. After cleaning up, we started out to see a show. She would not let me call a cab but insisted on walking, even as cold as it was. She would not go to the Carolina, saying that that show would be back in a month at a cheaper price. After seeing the cheapest picture in town, she again re fused a cab and when I suggested the drug store, she immediately turned it down saying that there was coffee and lots of things at home to make sand wiches. On top of that she has the prettiest brown eyes, and pearly white teeth that are perfectly even and matched. --Aw, she's just a honey." We're just hoping that if all he says is true, she's soon going to kick him and give us a chance. We certainly can't find one of that calibre around this in stitution. There is a certain species of homo which has invaded our fair campus in the last couple of weeks. It is charac terized by broad smiles, flaming bow ties, ready handshakes, loud hats, and back slapping. It walks by day and quite frequently at night. It is usually seen offering to some unsuspecting person a cigarette, or pleasantly running after some ladies hat. It is one of the most loquacious of this genus that has ever been reported. No place on the campus, even the Woman's Building or the soror ity houses, is devoid of them. It very greatly resembles the more ordinary ones of this genus. We have not been able to completely identify it, but with the help of all the biology keys, we have come to the conclusion that it is most commonly known as "Candidatus poli ticanus." " Expert Speaks To Clariosophic Next Tuesday Night Joint Meeting Of Clariosolihic And Hypatian To Be Occasion For Unusual Event Students at Carolina will have a chance to hear a handwriting expert describe some of the intricacies of his profession when a man who has a column on the analysis of handwriting in the Stale comes to speak in the Clariosophic So ciety hall next Tuesday night at 8 P. M. This will be the occasion for the regu lar joint meeting of the Clariosophic and Ilypatian Societies, and all members of both societies as wcll as all other stu dents interested in hearing the address are invited to attend. Samples of handwriting will be taken from those present and then the speaker will analyze them and explain some of the details of his work. This is the first time that such an op portunity has been offered Carolina stu dents, and a large number are expected to hear the address. -U. B. C. German College Sends Invitation An invitation to send a representa tive to the 200th anniversary celebra tion of the University of Goettingen in Germany has been extended to the University, according to Dean F. W. Bradley, head of the German depart ment. The University of Goettingen, al though not the oldest German Univer sity, is one of the most noted. For the first 75 years of its existence it was powerful, but declined during the reign of Napoleon and the wars of that time. Since then it has begun a renaissance and is now recognized as one of the leading Universities of the World. The invitation was sent Dean Brad ley by the Rektor Magnificus of the German University who holds prac tically the same position as the presi dent of an American University. How ever, these German heads are elected annually from the faculty members and serve as temporary presiding officers. I i Six Hundred Broons Used Annually By Janitors Handle Is Notched To Prevent Broom Being Used sh Twice th in Six hundred brooms are purchased an- th nually by the University for the janitors tir in the dormitories, J. M. Cantey, mar- st< shal, said yesterday. "c The new brooms are given out to the ini janitors only after the old ones are worn tir out, and turned in. To prevent the broom to from being used twice, its handle is nil marked with a notch. The old handles are sent to the car- th< penter's shop where some of them are lie used for replacing broken chair rungs. g The secret of the towel racks in the on new dormitory wings to Thornwell col- Jo lege lies here. The old handles are made ha into racks, painted and placed in the to individual rooms. After the racks are worn out, they are used for wood in the furnace. (We don't know what be comes of the ashes unless they are used pa to lilt in holes around the campus). pr One of the reasons for the large con- sa' sumption of brooms is that the janitors cut the strings which hold the straws together. This tends to make the straw spread out and clean a wider path with each stroke. This lightens the sweeper's work, but greatly shortens the broom's useful life. University Deans L Publish Articles "The Traditional Ballad in America" by Dr. Reed Smith, and "South Caro lina Proverbs" by Dean F. W. Bradley are included in "Southern Folklore Quarterly," the first issue of which, for March 1937, has just appeared. The magazine will be published quar terly by the Southeastern Folklore So ciety of the United States, and will be devoted to the historical and descrip tive study of folklore, according to Dr. Reed Smith, who is on the editorial board of the publication, as well as the Board of Advisors of the Society. -U.
