By Margd1 EXCHANG There's one in every crowd. We mean a professor who de lights in alternately sneering and cheering at the younger genera tion now in college. One such pro fessor was leaning over his ros trum delivering ,a dissertation on the mode of talk sported by the younger among us. "Now what's that silly saying the girls on the campus are in the habit of saying?" he mused to the discomfiture of the coeds in the class. "No!" shouted a male from the recesses of the back row. -The Daily Reveille * e a "Dearest, I must marry you." "But have you seen my father?"

"Look, operator," he explained, "just give me any number in Par ker. I'm looking for a date. Any number will do." Always complying and never questioning, the operator did as he asked. The phone buzzed and soon a female voice helloed from the other end. The lad explained his mission, how it had been accomplished and would she go out with him to a local movie? The voice at Parker answered quickly, 'I'm the house mother." He hung up. -The Daily Reveille lit an English political oration: "I was born an Englishman, I have lived an Englishman, and I hope I shall die an Englishman."

It was May 9, 1924, and the Gamecock had issued a special coed paper honoring them. On the front page was a pic ture of the new women's dormi tory-Wade Hampton-which was the first on the campus. In 1894 the doors of the univer sity were opened to women in any course in which they were found to be qualified. When the enroll ment of women increased at the beginning of the century, women students were housed in a so-called dormitory on Marion street. Later the dormitory was moved to "832 Pickens street." But coeds had only a few study rooms of their own on the campus before 1924. Th Gamecock of May 9, 1924, reported that coeds were no longer visitors-that they were here to stay. They were eligible for any degree or course at the univer sity, including law. Wade Hampton dormitory was begun in the summer of 1923 and completed in the spring of 1924. Students were told that it was op posite Gibbes Green on Green Street, that its construction had cost $50,000, and that it would house 100 girls. It was reported that other buildings for the coeds would be built in the near future. Soon after the completion of Wade Hampton, a severe hail storm LEARN THE WAY Men's Finest Clothing * Kuppenheimer * Kingsridge * Alco SUITS and TOPCOATS ---6 -- NEW FELT HATS * Stetson * Schoble CLASSY FURNISHINGS ---0 -- COPELAND Co. 1409 MAIN ST.

Landscaping was done that broke many of the windows, which had to be replaced during the sum summer, and the bedrooms and par lors were furnished comfortbaly. Coeds were promised that the main lobby would have a piano for their pleasure. The dormitory served all out-of town women attending the Univer sity until 1939, when its larger and more modern neighbor, Sims dormi tory, was built. At present, Wade Hampton houses freshmen and graduate coed students, but even tually it will probably be a fresh rnan dormitory. The basement is used as the women's cafeteria. Last spring the dormitory was painted, and the original furniture was replaced by ultra-mpodern fur nishings. Even the lobby was re danrat. The university women are still nroud of Wade Hampton dormitory as it approaches its twenty-fifth anniversary. -1 Luckies' fin up when y you down Luckes' fin. tobacco pu level-to fpel your level be That's why it's impor MEANis FINE TOBACCO thoroughly enjoyable smol experts-auctioneers, buy Strike regularly than smol Light up a Lucky!
