Adopted as one of its projects for the year are hi-monthly dances for the V-- and V-12 boys on our cam pus. At present these danees are being held in the lobby of Wade Hampton College. The first two, although both successes, had one fault. There was a surplus of girls! Whether this phenomena was due to lack of publicity or shyness on the part of the boys, we offer this as an advance notice of tomorrow night's dance. Many boys. here at Carolina for the first time, want to meet the women of Carolina. These dances offer the very opportunity. The girls come. not just as a duty, but because they en joy it. You boys would find the same enjoy ment there. Music is furnished by a nichelo deon the girls furnished from Wade Hampton and Sims. Posters will be up as a reminder and there cal be nio finer way to b,'conje ai gnilni1eul so come boys,. bring your friends-and make the Saturday night dnncec a bigr;r .ues than ever. Carolina Alumnus Commends Clariosophic Literary Society November 27. 194:1. The Gamecock. University of South Carolina Columbia. South Carolina. Dear Sirs: I was very much interested in the letter from Frank L. Dusenburv in y%our issue of Novem ber 19th. I was greatly shocked when I heard some years ago the little interest., or the small membership, in the two Literary Societies. *When I was an un dergraduate. 188:-1 885, there wer*e also1 fraternities ini whic td Ihere was great interest ;)but thle principal interest.. as 1 recall it, of thle cntire stuidenit body was mnem bership in one or thle (<ther of tihe Literary Societies. The particular point I want to 1)ring out is the importance of a younig n of membhershiip in tIhe Literary Soectijes. If I were asked whiatI I felt was one of thle most usefl anmd helpful influences of my c*ollIege dlays, 1 wonuld111 une.si tatingly say it was mlemblersi p ill thle (Clario sophie Society. I learnedl not. only to get upj and say what I had to say. hut also to sit down when I had said it, and not wander along~ aim lessly ; beca use tile boys of my (lay woubd not have stood for sutch an exhibition of end(less repetition as is freqiuently put oin in mnany public gatherings. I also ac(luiired a good working knuowvledge of parliamientary hIaw, which was of equal im portancee and whieb enabled mec to preside over a meeting and prevent its (drifting into a "'talk< fest.'' This knowledge of p)arliamnentary law has beeni most useful t.o mue in my business life ini presiding at dlirectors and othmer mieetinigs. Feel that the benefit of memnbership) in the Clariosophic Society wvas so great, that I wonni1( like to see membership ini one of the Societ ies muade obligatory upon all students, unless sp~e cill. excused. I am sure memubers today, as ini my College day, wvill come to value the ex perience and association derived firoim the cont tacts with other members of these Soc iet ies. I should like to hear an expression out this subject from some other old "grads'' to sco Member Dciated Colle6iae Pres Distributor of ROE Golle6cite Di6est t.ned Carolina Enterw S. o., T\ whether their -experience does not coincide with mine. Yours very truly, . EDWIN G. SEIBELS. Dear 3ir. Seibels: We were very glad to receive your letter and appreciate your thoughts on the matter of the Literary Societies. Your letter will be turned over to the Clariosophic Society as an encour agemeit in their work. Your letter is published here, in hopes that other old "grads" will see it and respoid as you wished them 10. Sincerely, THE EDITOR. When Can Carolina Students Hear The Glee Club? The University Glee Club is composed of a number of fine singers. men and women. After a quiet su mmer. the Glee Club has come into its own again by putting on programs for Co luibia College. servicemen centers, and other places throughout the city. They are doing a good job. and all who have had the privilege of Ieariii the group have commented favor ably. We at Carolina are heginnin g to heel .s ightt . I tile past. ya rs. when chapel was a Tues lay morning standby. Carolina students often had an opportunity to hear the Glee Club. As it is now. there seems to he no chance for them I hear the Songs of this fine group. Navy au Ihoritics have deeued it necessary do a\way with the ha pl programs. leaving only V-12 Iiappy ioi,r nn Friday nig-h1s. The Gamecoek. on the part of tihe stlidenlts, would like to know if a plan could he made by which all of us could be present at a Glee Club concert. Perhaps for one meeting Happy Hour could be made into P Joint chapel for all students. The gist of the matter is-we want to hear the Glee Chub. Carolina students are its membiers.

She strolled serenely into what she thought was the new Tri Delt room, and suddenly found' herself in a strange gentleman's boudoir. (Sounds like' a novel, more or less.) Another coed was a trifle disconcerted when she happened to glance up from an enjoyable little siesta, and saw Mr. Wardlaw standing on a chair taking pictures of her in a business-like fashion. Getting up in the eold gray of these Carolina dawns is swiftly and definitely naking. us all a little hazy.

Live Stock Of course pet dogs are still everywhere, in Dr. Riley's office, in the switchboard room, etc., but one freshman in Tenement I, named Porter, has them all beat. This enterprising lad owns a bowl of goldfish and several rabbits. The goldfish pre sent no particular problem, but not so the rabbits. The owner kept them in a bureau drawer but they kept eating their way' out, so Porter gave up and the rabbits now have free run of the tenement, getting a shade grayer each time they accumulate another layer of dirt from the not so spotless floor. So if you see a rabbit wandering around the cam pus, don't think it's the Easter bunny.
