Giv< Goliath of Gath with his helmet of brath, Wath theated one day on green grath, When up thlipped thlim David, the thervant of Thaul, And thaid, "I will thmite thea although I am thmall." -Lawrence Tech News In a certain barber shop last week a customer was being shaved, shampooed, massaged, manicured, and shined. In the midst of it a man rushed into the shop, grabbed the customer by a fat shoulder and yelled into a lathered ear: "Hey, Scarlotte, your house is on fire!" Half shaved, half shampooed, half massaged, half manicured, and half shined, the customer leaped from his chair, dashed out the door, down the street at full gal lop, then suddenly stopped dead and, with a curse, muttered, "What the hell am I running for? I'm not Scarlotte." She: Know what a WAC is? He: Yep. She: Know what a WAVE is? He: Yep. She: Know what a WOCK is? He: No. What is a WOCK? She: A wock is what you fwoah at wabbits. * * * A middle-aged woman lost her balance and fell out of a window into a garbage can. Chinaman pass ing remarked, "Americans velly wasteful.

At supper, he asked the colored waiter, "S a m b o, where's my honey?" "Ah don't know, Boss," replied Sambo, eyeing his wife cautiously, "She don't work hyar no more."

That's doubly sure now. For the boys from "Tigerville" have won the second of two easy victories in as many years in polls of Coker girls' favorite college men. Clemsonians won hands down in both polls, conducted by the Coker student newspaper, The Periscope, but they didn't win quite so handily this year as last. In 1948-49, they piled up 68 votes, nearly half the total. In the poll just taken, they garnered only 57, about one out of every four. But they still stand their manly head and shoulders above their closest rivals, the Uni versity of North Carolina Tarheels. The best the North staters could muster was 28 firsts. The Universities of North and South Carolina exchanged places this year, the Tarheels more than doubling their 1948-49 score to drop the Gamecocks to third place. In ,oups total count, USC just held its own, hon- chalking up 23 votes each time. f tor Next schools in line in the cur USC rent poll-with their popularity records in parentheses--are: Thq - Citadel (14), Wake Forest (7), Wofford (6), Presbyterian (5), and Duke (4). Balloting this year was both more representative and more scat tered than a year ago. In 1948-49, who only about 150 girls out of nearly are." 250 were polled, and they divided their allegiance among fewer than Dick a dozen schools. This session, al roice, most all of Coker's 200 dormitory girls voted, and their favorite sons d by are scattered among two dozen colleges and universities from 3oul" coast to coast. tenor Schools represented this year in clude Newberry, Furman, North Carolina State, Davidson, Georgia com- Tech, Vanderbilt, the University of Jor- Tennessee, the University of Ala Whit bama, Auburn, Notre Dame and louth West Point. weet Even Coker copped a vote or two. Which clearly shows that the "co eds" who recently invaded what ;erni- used to be an all-feminine student aken body are successfully taking ad rious vantage of their favored position. As a matter of fact, a number of 300 all-Coker romances have already wound up at the altar, and several nter- more are headed straight in that dire'ction.

But for ok I that the "tailors" can make up to you: $20 in two weeks, while the up holsterers have their average at dif- $3.30 per two weeks. (And I used I the to complain about MY budget.) oped In general, my impression was itake favorable compared to the prisons hich, I had seen in G;ermany before the cams end of the war. Prisoners wear "stripes" only if I the they are being punished for some wuar- thing, and besides new quarters, en- a game field is being built, where give the inmates can even spend a whole and day with their family. But does the that compensate for only 2 visits netal a month, and only two letters a week ? The pententiary is still went and is meant to be-a punishment. s, We observed some good-looking from boys, about our age, in the work iould shops; nothing criminal is visible thrill that usually is the layman's idea been of a criminal-but yet the warden essed shook his head at the thought of from the crimes some of these boys have adcommitted. hirts Te last part of the tour was the wsdeath house, and in its dreary emptiness, the electric chair. Every word is amplified in these .bare four walls, and the steel doors to the death room add to the horrible appearance. Somehow, when we left, the faint sunshine outside seemed aw ful warm and friendly.

"Most fraternities end a lot on their houses and no dy ever sees them except tho embers and occasional boys the embers bring in with them," ringer said. Stringer's third suggestion was at student council do what it uld about getting the rent on nements based on the condition the rooms, rather than on thf -esent system of uniform rates. Jimmy Dye, business administra )n representative, suggested that ,uncil begin work this year on wering the price of date tickets r next year's football games. vst year's price of $14.50 was a ire point with students and many iked council last year to try to something about changing it.

"If stu nt council could give each student i aptitude test it would be a serv e not only to the student but also Carolina."
