Events during the past week bear out tAis maxim admirably. Incident number one appeared February 3 in the form of a small tent bearing the sign "Welcome to our Student Union Building." Evidently erected early in the morning, the tent remained stand ing until late in the afternoon when workers were dispatched to raze Carolina's newest structure. Several times during the day passersby stopped to right the poor ly erected tent. It is reported that one of the parties involved in the escapade was complaining that lie lost $4.50 and a place to sleep this :emester. The second incident? Il'roibably the last thing Lou Oswald thought she would do was jump into a rather damp mixture of cement and sand. But that was practically what happened to the Columbia juior as she was r1unning across the campus Wednesday. Takiig a short cut, Miss Oswald started to run across what looked like a pile of sand near the new Law school. MIuch to her surprise she bogged up to her knees and one of the workers had to help her out.
