Longer Hours
System Now
Easy Enough
For Profs
Billy Woods today announced a
new chapel schedule for the remain
der of the semester. This new sys
tem was adopted so that the hard
working janitors, who have been
losing thirty-one seconds every
tuesday under the old Thursday
Friday chapel plan, will now lose
)mly one second every Thursday and
Friday under the Tuesday-Wednes
day plan.
Dean Chase, when asked his
.pinii of the new chapel schedule,
;aid, "This plan is amazingly simple
-even our professors can under
;tand it."
Beginning next Wednesday, be
au5e Wednesday is the ninety
hird lay before July 4, chapel will
)e held at five minutes to e,leven,
f the weather permits. If it should
)e snowing next Wednesday, there
will be no chapel program. In
tead an exhibition ping pong match
netween Professors Bass and Mc
Cutchen will be held in the base
ment of the Student Union at 11:01.
(a. m1. or p. m.)
After Wednesday, subtract three
from the middle of the mouth and
raise to the third power if the moon
is full on the thirteenth. On all
days marked red on the calendar
chapel wvill be held at 10:15. If the
day should be marked in black,
chapel will be held at quarter to
nine. If the clay should not he

The campus is all a dither over

at the University. At the beauty
pageant, she stood out among the
other tall, dark, and ugly candidates.
She carried a bouquet of pansies
and three hot biscuits.
When querried about the biscuits.
Davis said that she had not had
supper.
"And one must eat, mustnt one?'
she murmured in a low, liquid,

or this move after hearing the
f The Whirling Dercish," on a
r their daily jam sessions.
"It was not until then," Miss
Heyward gasped, "Did I realize the
true situation."
"Did you know that a Dervish has
to whirl all the time? And that's
not all. The poor thing is getting
the double-cross from his girl
friend."
Miss Heyward said that she
would appoint a committee of the
people on the campus most capable
of thinking up wild-cat schemes.
Most likely candidate for chairman
of this wild-cat committee is Dave
Baker.
"He's a genius," Miss Heyward
gesticulated.
It seems that a Dervish is so busy
that he can't keep up with his girl
friend. The only solution, accord
ing to the YWCA members, is to
raise money and send to the Der
vish. With this money he can
either hire a private detective to
hire a private detective to watch
watch her, or go on a vacation and
(10 it himself.
1resent plans call for each fra
ternity, sorority, and other organi
zations on the campus to adopt a
Whirling Dervish for a year. As
the Dervishes work all night for
rupees, Miss Heyward asks that all
contributions be made in rupees.
"A rupee is Hindu mazunma," she
explained. "It is naot to be con
fused with the American whoopee,
of which Carolina students make a
lot."
TPo every organization adopting a
Dervish, the YWVCA has promised
to send a picture of a barber pole,
in two colors.
"It's the same thing as a picture
of a D)ervish," Miss Heyward said.
"If a D)ervish put on a red and
wvhite suit and really whirled, he
would look like a barber pole,2
wvouldn't he ?"
Several D)ervishes have become
cross-eyedl from wvhirling and try
ing to keep one eye on a girl friend -
at the same time, it is reported by
reliable sources. That will be a
thing of the past when the Univer
sity YWCA gets its campaign go
ing. Dervishes will then be able
to take a holiday and do a first rate
job of running around.
"Be assured that you are putting
your money in a worth while
scheme," Miss Heyward - admon
ished, "Think of your children. Do
you want them to go through the
years hanging their heads in shame,
andl saying that their old man or
their old lady did not contribute to
the fund for the relief of Whirling
Dervishes?"
