CAMPUS COURSE
BY KATHERINE HINES
VISITORS
Homecoming Day attracted quite a few visitors last week. Betty
Withington's young sister Mary, who looks just like Betty, was one of
those who came down from Greenville, as were Martha Geer, a Furman
cheerleader, Bessie King's visitor, Doris Wright, and Lib Tuten, the
striking brunette who stayed with Maude Byrnes Chisolm. Kathleen
Arthur's sister Hazel and Mary Locke Ruckenbaker visited Kathleen.
Winifred Burford's guest, Ewing Schwecter, is a Charlestonian, and Ann
Laurie Dupre, who visited Ada Beach, is from Walhalla.
* GADABOUTS
Quite a few people visited out of town last week. "Punkie" Plowden,

Clemson. Natalin Lifchez Was at the Armistice dance in Charleston;
Sonny Bowman went to Virginia; and Millie Coe, Thelma Gardner and
Evelyn Burnette went to Hartsville. Celeste Hersey and Hety White
were in Augusta; Dot Sample was in Rock Hill; and Ben Wyman, John
Smith, and Frankie Hill enjoyed their hunting trip. . . . If all the Carolina

to the Citadel dances. Murray Fant, Sonny Jones, Lang Long, Jimmie
Moore, and Bubba Southard will be there, too. "Baby" Brunson will

Fencing Classes

Fencing classes are now well under
way in University of South Carolina

classes in fencing were installed at
the beginning of this semester, with

class. They each meet once a week,
either Monday, Wednesday, or Fri

instructed in the art of French fenc
ng.
As yet no actual fencing has been
taken up in classes. Form and stance
are being emphasized. Miss Whil
den says that good form and stance
are two of the first qualifications of
a good fencer.
Miss Whilden took several courses
in fencing and the teaching of fenc
ing last three years at the University
of Louisiana, As well as teaching

A missing honored guest was en

ity of the University of South Caro
lina had a tea for its national pres
ident, Mrs. Sidney R. Stanard, in
the sorority room at Sims college

How Are You
Flunking 'Em?
Lots of things are funny after
they're over. And mid-semesters are
no exception. 'Course, the after-math
is yet to come-yes, when the reports
go home, my gentle readers!, or had
you heard ?
Anyway, there's quite a bit of en
joyment in watching the other fel
low get his quizzes back, especially
freshmen; you know, just to see how
they haven't been hardened to the
cruel ways of these cruel professors
of ours. Now take that 11s fresh
man history class, for instance: the
other morning those kids filed out of
there with the saddest expressions on
'their faces. Most of them made just
what they were afraid they would.
'Course, there were all kinds of
"would-be" students (but aren't)
who busted the quiz. One of the
boys said he wasn't going to look at
his until he could get home and into
bed, so he could take it lying down;
another said he was inclined to dis
agree with his professor on several
points (maybe 30 or so of them).
Others said they knew they busted,
anyhow, and it wasn't any use to
worry.
The "busters" may be classified
under about three heads, perhaps: 1.
the fellow that really puts out study
ing, but just can't get it: you'd call
him dumb, maybe; 2. the fellow that
studied until the wee small hours, but
just the same says "Hell, I didn't
even crack a book. How could I
pass?!" 3. The guy who's so busy
being nice to his following of fem
ininity that he just didn't have time
to ciam at all.
A "P.S." may be added to the
last paragraph to the effect that there
are also a few girls who flunk in a
similar manner, but not as many as
boys, though. However, there are
not nearly as many girls at the Uni
versity, according to one Noel Vil
liams, who has statistics to that ef
fect !
A last and smaller paragraph may
be added about the few fortunate
ones who make "A's". Some en
vious ones call them "freaks", but
if that's what they are, it's different,
anyway, 'cause anyone can flunk, but
can you make an "A"? ltuh?
You think this story is a complete
bust ? ? Well that's what I'm
writing about, ain't it !??!
