"Good afternoon, sir." The professor removes his spec tacles and looks up from a thick VolUMe. "Good afternoon." "Are you accustomed to jour nalism students begging you for news?"

"Well, sir, if you have any pamphlets or papers or anything like that maybe I could get some thing from them." "Don't have any of that sort tight now. Perhaps later."

Momn To Co in Wauchope By AMELIA STONE "I've never had any real daugh-j ters, although I have several hun - dred adopted onies." Strange wvords perhaps to an outsider, but to one who knows Mrs. Pauline McLeod, beloved housemother of Wauchope McKissick dormitory here, they be speak only what each person knows in his heart. For during the past five years, Carolina has been the lucky recipient of unfailing thoughtful ness, generosity, kind ness, and service of one of the most spopular matrons ever to "attend" the university. Born and reared in Marion, S. C., and receiving her education at Winthrop college, Mrs. McLeod's' early career consisted of teaching and doing social work in the Rock Hill mills and later in Columbia at the Olympia mills. Offered an excellent scholarship in social work in New York City, she turned it down in preference to marriage, and soon thereafter became the hride of alton James McLeod, merchant and farmer of Lynch burig. In L ynchburg, their home, she organized the Civic League, and was p)resident of this organization for 2(0 years. In connection with her civic and social wvork there, she was also president of the Wo men's Missionary anid Parsonage A id society of the Methodist church for many years and taught the be ginners' class for 314 years.

An interesting sidelight LO ner social career was an incident that happened during an influenza epi demic there. It seems that a Negro family had been really "hit hard" by the illness, and with two mem bers dead and the others dying, help was almost impossible, as similar cases were very numerous. i But help did conie, for Mrs. Mc Leod sent a two-horse wagon with mattresses, etc., and carted the ill away from the infected spot, put ting them in a shelter on a near by plantation. They all survived, and as a sincere way of repaying her kindness, two of them changed their names-a girl to ''Pauline," and a boy to "Walton." "Pauline is now living in Philadelphia," Mrs. McLeod smiles. 11er nmotto of "helping others'' has certainly13 paid rich dividends, for all wvho know her, love her. Her two sons, WV. J. McLeod, Jr., graduate of USC law school, and E. Mullins McLeod, graduate of Wofford college, are twvo of her most enthusiastic boosters. But her "girls"--even those wvho have graduated and gone-still claim "Mrs. Mac" as theirt very own splecial "s'conid Mom.'" As pretty and as gay as her girls themselves, Mrs. McLeod is dlevoted1 to her wvork and to her dorm itory "'family.'' "I'm also de voted to thle boys who come to call !" she says wvith a twvinkle in her eye.

On Feb. 8, 1814, a riot because of the suspension of three students was so large and strong that the militia of the town had to be called out to quiet the students. A pro fessor was burned in effigy and his house was attacked with bricks, terrifying his family. Professors were threatened and pistols were waved at them. Students shot guns near the professors. Even this early trouble was de veloping over "the Steward's hall." It became an annual oc currence until the Biscuit Rebel lion in 1853. In case of the absence of cause for riot, the students could al ways think of some prank for amusement. Benches on the cam pus were tarred, in hope that a Iofessor would sit there. Bonfires were a favorite diversion. In the '50's a popular form of entertainment was typing a light ed piece of wood to the tail of a cow and starting the animal down the campus. The student followed with the accompaniment of much shouting. Once the president of the uni versity made an announcement in chapel that there were too many dogs on the campus and they must lbe expelled. The next morning he saw several dogs hanging from the I horse racks, and when he inquired i Uti the ause, he was told tnat the students had changed his order from expulsion to suspension. Snow has always been detrimen. tal to the classes, because of the decrease in attendance. As early as 1858 President Longstreet of t,he university corn plained also that the annual fair in Columbia in the fall was an an noyanlce, and this complaint finally led to the giving of holidays dur ing the last of fair wveek.
