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. That woman was good
for ten years yet."
A commercial traveler took his
bride South for the honeymoon and
stopped at a hotel where they
boasted of their super fine honey.
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."
The little old gray woman bent
over the cherub in the cradle.
"O-o-oo. You look so sweet, I
could eat you."

Featuring the music of Billy s
[anna and his Rhythmaires, Kap
a- Sigma Kappa presented a
lariety Show at Drayton Hall last
'riday night.
Forming the back bone of the t
how, this five piece outfit is com- a
osed of Billy Hanna, leader and s
rombone; L. C. Burgess, trumpet;
lob Haymond, tenor sax; Charles p
lerrit, piano; and Andy Medea, d
rums. Among the many favorites I
layed by the band were "Ain't ii
lisbehavin'," "Swanee River," and Y
Don't Blame Me."
Following the opening by thq t
and, Buddy Long recited the "Cre- ii
tation of Sam McGee." Then, ac- v
ompanying himself on a guitar,
oo Dubose sang "Frankie and p
ohnnie," "On Top of Old Smoky," e
nd "Delia."
A black face pantomine of Al 4

uzanne Lewis and Gene Ann

hie canteen was complete when a 0
ickel was dropped in the .iuke c
ox and the band played "Little

At this point Smokey Felder t
layed on the piano, "The Man I e

" Clemson Men
Top List With
Coker Co-Eds
Clemson collegians make more
Coker college girls go al starry
eyed than any other collegiate
males.
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.
Awful Friendly
Prison Scenes
hER impressive, a contrast to the slower
esire work in the upholstery. 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.

Satire On Politics s;
To Be Presented er
At Town Theater h
A political satire, "The Two Blind so
Mice," which pokes fun at govern- St
ment bureaucracy and red tape
will start its run January 25, at "i
the Town Theater. m
The satire enjoyed a year's run
in New York where Melvin Douglas ti(
played the feature role previous to fi
its being released for non-profes- fr
sional production.
Two old women are involved in an
the plot of the play. They are oc- BP
cupying an office of a closed gov- b(
ernment bureau when a newspaper m
reporter invades the office and
gets about everybody's help, along
with the two old ladies', in getting t
information. Everyone thinks the
reporter is starting a new branch th
of science when he sets up his c<
office in the vacated government te
office. The results of this situa
tion is hilarious.
Gene Crotty, director of the PI
Town Theater, said that the satire,
which "not so gently pokes fun at ti
government bureaucracy," will in- cc
clude Russell Green and Joe Bishop 10
of the University in its cast.

ringer advocated giving fresh
en one semester credit for these
Detings.
Stringer also suggested instiga
m of a movement to have speci

aternity houses would be open to
Ly visitors. "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.
Tommy Macfie, senior class
-esident, suggested giving all
eshmen some type of aptitude
sts when they enter Carolina.
[oo many freshmen waste from

ves in indecision about what they
ant to do," Macfie said . "If stu
nt council could give each student

e not only to the student but also
Carolina." Phil Pearce, treas
rer, added that it would be a good
ea to have a counselor or dean
