Either course will count as a physics major or minor. It will be necessary to set these courses up before Feb. 24 if they are to he given. Those interested should call by the physics department, Sloan, 101, before that date and talk to Professor Mercer.

Silence is the keynote in the halls, and girls tiptoe irom oue room to at'Nther to open doors cantiously and ask quest ions. in a whisper. No. it is not the ap proaching examinations which cast such a spell on Carolina co-eds: it is merely an inaminate object called the Ouija board. Scoffers call it a childish pastime; merely a stperstition. but invita tions to come dowy and "play Ouija", are becoming more and more popular. The procedure is simple; obtain one hoard which is complete with numbers and the letters of the alphabet and the pointer, and Iwo credulous girls. Seat the girls f,tc ing each other with the board on their laps, maintain absolutc qtiet antd thle sea tiee begins. Qutest ions range fron the ahtru ce to the re dicutlonts, but Ouija is a willing tool and will answer anything : as long as the priestesses have faith. And faith is the supreme require ment of this parlor game. Onija skips front letter to letter; spelling ottt namcs or giving important date to the delighted beholders if they really want to know. But let an utnheliever into the room and the spell is broken. Oulija will then halk and refuse to play or else dash mad ly all over the board to demonstrate to its enemies that it knows, but will not tell. The questions asked ? Do you want to know if your dearly beloved is true to you? Ouija will answer for you; and Ouija never lies. Are von worried about that tough course? Ouija will give you your grade although it night hesitate it); dceterline hlinw be points of your knowledge. The procedure then is to "t. "Got ahead ancd tell mie,, O iia: it really doesn't matter." Ii-I meiliatel Ouija will Ileap to tle cot rect grade, aid no amount of tears or persuasion on your part will make Onija change its nmiml. Illpfttl. also, in matters of mtar riage, is Ouija. It will tell you all you want to know, amt trousseaus have been bought for less important rea'ons. :\nd, if you are a trile de yotee of Ouija amd have mtanlifested your tiaith in it: Ouija will give you tie upreie favor. Approach Ouija carefully, thoiugh. in suIi a mattee, and ask, "Ouija, have you a message for me?" And this is the reward of faith. for Ot'uija, which knows the future of all things. will tell.
