Contributions (Gai Matrons TireJ Want Original By PEGGY TREXTER "But Mrs. Pender, I understood you to say that if I returned to school by bus or train and same were late, I would be restricted. I am a little late, but I didn't catch the bus or train.' I came by car." And so another year of social life begins at U. S. C. and as al ways, there are those students who stage a last minute rush to reach the door just before the final key has been turned. Occasionally the race with time is achieved and then again it is not. The same fa miliar plea is usually the result, "Please don't restrict me this time" and in response, the house mother replies, "I am not going to restrict you, you have restricted yourself." A favorite excuse used by the girls from Maxey is being delayed at the train crossing on the way Drayton Hall, a sub)er will be served at the Columbia Hotel. Prof. Merrill G. Christopherson, grand director of the chapter, will be in charge of the meeting. The secretary is James Simmons. "Frog" Green, former president of the University Players, and Phil lip Bernanko will be welcomed back into Alpha Psi Omega. Betty Lewis and Marian Rodgers were initiated at the close of last se mester. 'HE WAY ND CO. Columbia, S.

[Of Old Lines ity In Excuses from Five Points. "The train was a mile long, and of course we had to wait until it had passed by." A couple returning late to Wau chope House related to Mrs. Mc Leod, "We have been sitting on the campus all the while"-but then the fellow's watch was just one hour slow. A favorite explanation used by Sim's girls is "The cafe was so crowded, it took a little longer than we had anticipated to be served." Mrs. Martin said the girls from Wade Hampton had no favorite reason for being late, but that the "out-of-gas" story was quite popular. And then of course there's always the one where the truck broke down on a fraternity party. Now girls, when Father Time brings the hands of his watch near the fatal hour, remember that that extra minute tonight must be bartered for any nocturnal pleasures tomorrow.
