Early USi Liked to I Hated Chv By DEW JAMES Staff Reporter From the days of chicken co< raiding to the more recent pan, raids, the pranks of Carolina st dents have added color to its hi tory, though the honor of some them may bear questioning. It evident that many of these pran1 resulted from the lack of sufficiei outlets for the youth's exce energies. The coming of sporl student organizations, and oth entertainments have lessened t] prankishness. Fauna Pursuit In the old days, the fowl hous, and gardens of professors we regarded as legitimate prey. Ar mals, in general, came in for lion's share of the student's dev ment.

Upon ii quiring the reason, he was to that the students had changed t) president's order of expulsion suspension. In 1812, the students gre weary of the meat being serv( them at Steward's Hall.

These exhibitions it were generally held late at night. is Serenading was common in the S' old days. Often if a young beau r could not play a musical instru ie ment, he hired a fiddler to conduct his serenade. Once tin pans and horns were used to serenade the young ladies at Barhamville, a woman's school near Columbia at the time. In the early 1900's, it was a practice to march on Colum a bia College when the athletic team s was victorious, call out the young d ladies, and conduct a series of cheers. ie Billy Maybin's 0 id Frequently suppers were in dulged in, especially wine suppers .y in the days of the old college when I- drinking was common. - The Con -e garee Hotel, kept by "Billy" May d bin and which stood on the site of n the present Jerome Hotel was a d favorite haunt of the Carolinian in ie the 1850's.

H. Ward, director of the Extension Division, has announced. 4 The purpose of the reeting is to discuss methods of improving the training program for teachers through extension work. A feature of the program wi be a lecture on reading by Dr. Helen Robinson, director of the Reading Clinic at the University of Chicago. She will discuss ways to cope with problems that arise in teaching a person to read. Field instructo'rs will have an opportunity to talk with university professors who are teaching the courses that they are teaching throughout the state. A discussion of certificate re newal requirements will be led by S. C. Hawkins of the State pe partment of Education. Dr. W. H. Callcott, dean of the graduate school, and Dean C. C. Travelstead, dean of the School of Education, will explain the developing graduate program for teachers, which will include a doctorate in education. Instructors will be asked to make reports on the work that they have been doing. to attend chapel and often when they (lid attend on April Fool's Day, not a single student answered when the roll was called. When the chapel had wooden steps, it was a favorite jest to remove them and in concealment watch the fac ulty devise a method to enter. A plank was frequently employed for this accomplishment. At South Carolina College, the professors undertook to catch the instigators of monkeyshines. Per haps, one of the most told is that of Professor Francis Lieber. The German-born professor fell over a pile of bricks while giving chase to a student who leaped byer them. With bruised skins, he got to his feet muttering, "Mien Got. All dis for two tousant tollar," while the escapee chuckled in the background. CAROLINA Shoe Rebuilders SHOES REBUILT LIKE NEW 1225 MAIN ST.
