America's I TOUR LOCAL !isgd undlar " Autnomnoblln" When City Visited Co By JIMMY HOWLZ "And many a time we've had a spree at Billy Maybin's, 01" sang the early Carolina students. "Billy" Maybin for many years kept the Congaree Hotel, where Jerome Hotel now stands, which was one of the most popular resorts of the students. It was there that the students passed their hours with strong drink. Near the college were located several other shops where a stu dent could easily forget his troubles. Some of the proprietors did a credit business and loaned money to the students. Since 1835 there has been a see tion in the by-laws of tie univer sity forbidding the possession of weapons by students. However, in 1837, one student brought along a bowie knife which he planned to take to the circus with him! It was the practice in those days for the students to try to beat up the circus people. The student with the bowie knife, upon seeing one of the circus men about to brain one of his companions, stabbed the man with the knife and killed him. The student was acquitted and graduated. Though weapons have been for bidden it has never been possible to completely banish them.

For many years the feeling be tween citizens of Columbia arid the students was one of antagonism. When a student found himself on the point, of being arrested he would yell "College" and the stu dents would come running. Conse quently, as soon as a student was jailed, he was bailed out or other wise released. On the Sunday before commence ment in 1839 one of the students was arrested and hurried to the local gaol because of a disturbance he had made at a church. The cry of "College" reached the campus and brought the students on the run. Dr. R. W. Gibbes, in antici pation of what might happen, had already bailed the young man out when the students reached the jail. The brother of the student who had been arrested r0shed into the guard house and threatened the entire police force with the flourishing of a pistol. This ac tion resulted in his expulsion, al though he had already passed his examinations. There is no record since that time of the Columbia police setting foot on the university campus. dmission Test Vext Saturday picked up during the months be tween the two exams will not seriously affect the grades, the candidate is requested to take the test in May.
