FRIDAY QUIZ SECTION
You being one of the first victims, what do you
think of the new way of appealing to the cut system committee?
Jimmy Merchant-Please don't quote me, but confidentially
WILLIS-WE ARE SPEACHLESS
The student council asked me as a reported last evening not to
comment on their action disqualifying Willis Beall, save directly on
the facts in the case. For their decision we can think of nothing ap
propriate-unless it's the fact that they make their decisions to fit
the situation.
RESEARCH DEPARTMENT-or things that Walter Winchell
didn't know all along:
Dr. W. E. Hoy, diminutive biology prof, was once the star fullback
on the strongest football team in the country. .. Euphradian, from which
the Euphradian literary society derives its name, means "correctness of
speech", while "Clariosophic" means "wise distributing lot". . . Its
unbelievable but about ten years ago members of the Carolina football
team discovered two women in their tenement and had thena arrested. . .
Dr. Havilah Babcock, the only campus prof who puts up signs on regis
tration day saying "Standing Room Only", occupied the same room used
by Edgar Allen Poe many years before, when lie attended William and
Mary college. . . while exploring under the floor of his room one night
he found a secret tunnel, and thought that it might be the source of all
of Poe's mysterys. . .the tunnel turned out to be an abandoned sewer. . .
Over 100 years agomembers of the Carolina faculty had to be nice...
Several in those (lays would wake up at night to see students milling
about their houses, taking pot shots at the windows. . . Tommy Ingram,
walking dictionary of Kalpa Alpa strain, would have loved those days. . .
the students then were constantly firing guns at professors, chasing the
profs' cows across the campus with fire-balls attached to the moo-moo's
tail, or shaving the president's horse and decorating him in violent
colors. . .
Honor was considered the main requirement of a student 100 years
ago. . . So strickly did they follow this code that any student could get
unlimited credit at business houses uptown without any security save
the knowledge that he was a student at the University.
PURELY PERSONAL:
It wasn't enough that a campus political boss named Billy Mc
Garity, got his pistol out and chased us two blocks down Preston
dormitory last week; that a gal whose name was lightly mentioned
here last week called out the varsity grid squad to squelch us; that
the Michigan bloc became so aroused that it split in twain; and that
one fellow, who either is conceited or guilty-conscienced, got all
riled over a statement we made when we hadn't even thought of
him;-no that wasn't enough. --We had to get a tooth-ache, and on
top of that pick a dentist who says $2 when you misten your lips
and $5 when you open you mouth to say hello. . .
HOLD THE PRESS, or the "Ransom of Red Chief."
Attention Mr. and Mrs. North America and all the ships at sea. . .
Connie Morton reports that Connie Morton has been found. . lie was
being held captive by a mob of his feminine admirers down at the
Woman's building. . .
PUBLIC ANSWERS to private problems
...to the person wvho mailed its the idlea for another fable about the
kingdom of Karola-it's very goodl but dlon't you think that fraternities
and sororities have been through enough hell during recent rush wecek?
.. President McKissick in his letter to Editor Frick commnetnding him
on his work, didn't make Coit Hendley or Paul League mad when he
said that the paper is now "free from the serious defects which have so
often appeared in the last year". .
...we feel sorry only, for those euphradians who stoop to personal
attacks wvhen their wvit fails. Last Tuesday night the "group" in question
were brave enough to come to a "battle of brains"-unarmed...
CAROLINES:
...one of the best looking magazine covers yet published is this
month's "Dixie Lens", which has deC-lovely Lou Gilland's likeness as
feature attraction in technicolor. . . the mag is on sale at the canteen
and we're not agent. . . add kiss definitions-a newvspaperman's. . . a kiss
is an article that is accepted, (im) printed, bitt never published. . .
janedammitgivemeadate. . . Mrs. Pender you may change youtr sign...
my twtn, scoop league is out of the infirmary. . . Prof. Coker, keeper of
the trees andl flowers, puts itp a sign--"Please D)on't Pick The Flowvers",
then goes in the University garden on Sutnday morning and clips the
lovliest rose of them all for his lapel. . . a member of the girl's fencing
team, Betty Marshall, ought to be pretty good if she pierces females
like she does masculine hearts. . . Marion Harrison, who plans to teach
school, is about right when he philosophises that there are three types
of women,-the intelligent, the beauttiful, andl the majority...

When Blatt finished, Manning re
iterated his contention that "75 per
cent of our boys who enter the
state-supported schools would be
better off if they never went there."
He said he did not consider the
Blatt-Zerbst amendment "worth a
damn."
"I was right amused,' Rep. Odom
of Darlington remarked, "when I
heard Mr. Blatt talk about educat
ing the poor farmers boys and girls.
We spend too much on the top end
of things . . ."
Odom contended that a young
man should "work" his way
through college. "He'll make a
man, won't he?" Manning called.
"Yes, lie will!" Odom answered.
Odon asserted that Clemson col
lege graduates "would take a week
to put up a hog pen hut I can do
it in two haurs and raise the big
best hog that ever lived. And yet
they say you've got to go to college
to learn, to do things."
