Too. Late To Class ...
By PAUL "SCOOP" LEAGUE
- THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED AT MIDNIGHT
They built his curiosity up with tales about two
farmer's daughters, the same brand as the popular
joke, and finally set the night to take him to call
on them . . . The fact that one doesn't call on even
farmer's daughters that late didn't occur to him .. .
His date's name was Mary, the boy that was double
dating with him said just before they turned into
the sandy country lane . . . "And, by the way," the
d-d added, "their old man gets tight all the time and
is tough." . . .
When the car pulled up at the designated rendez
vous, the hero, a U. S. C. gallant, jumped out and started calling for
Mary . . . As he did a gruff voice leaped out of the black saying, "I'll
teach you to call on my daughter at sich a time," and a double-barrelled
shot-gun went off . . . So did our hero of course, and it's reported he
ran three miles.
This is just to tell that hero, that the farmer was really one of his
so-called friends, and that instead of farmer's daughters behind the shrub
bery there were really about 15 other Gamecocks, including one professor.

AND NOW A GUEST COLUMNIST
For the past weeks the Board of Publications have criticised this
column. I asked them if they thought they could do better, to take over.
I give you Miss Elizabeth Bird, secretary of the Board of Publications:
* * * *
Greetingsl I can't type, but I'm typing, I can't wrtie, but I am writ
ing. Non-sensical? Sure, but somebody asked me to and I thought
I could. And I feel just like the crow that Aesop wrote about, "I ain't
got no cheese." I promised to try, so Scoop, here is a days vacation
without pay, yes, but nobody gets paid for operating a machine that
is as much fun as this job is anyhow.
Flattery, that instrument that got me in all this, is a peculiar thing.
And so prevailing. Complete immunity is an impossibility. Sug
gestion for a way to spend the infirmary's $70,000 is to have them put
in a special clinic for treatment on this line. Susceptibility to this ail
ment is more common than measles or flu, and in the long run can do
a lot more damage. Here I am lodged in Bewilderment, which is a
community entirely too exciting for this weak heart.
I am supposed to be eliminated from this institution in a few weeks
along with a couple hundred other seniors. When we conic back for
a reunion in 1951, this will be a different Carolina. It is not the same
place we came to, and it certainly will not be static when we leave.
There has been much talk about the replacement of the old traditional
phyiscal structure with newer architecture. It seems to me that as
students we should hope for change. We accept Mr. Darwin's theory
partially but we encourage it little in our mental processes. We have
a great Carolina-but we can contribute a lot to its future.
after all this I am about to decide what I want to write about. The
Future. But I don't know anything on that subject either. The Past,
no, because I remembered not to remember. And The Present, subject
matter here is very brief.
Oh, Scoop, I am going to get a dope. This is about to finish me.
And you have the brunt of this to take. You asked me; I warned you.
But punk guest editors are like punk guest speakers, you can't help
their lack of talents.
Gee whizl Maybe I will be "too late to class."
* * * *
That, ladies and gentlemen of Carolina was the Board of Publi
cation's attempt to be funny, what do you think?

Earthquake Shocks
Recorded At USC
Mercer Reported Tremors
Seismeograph Recorded
Violent earth shocks were re
corded by the seismograph at the
University of South Carolina re
cently and lasted approximately two
hours. The shocks were most severe
during the first ten minutes of the
disturbance.
Prof. C. F. Mercer of the physics
department at the University, who
checks the seismograph reports
daily, was unable to tell where the
shocks originated, but he said the
intensity was so great at times that
the recording medium was swung
beyond the record sheet.
