The police department has adopted a new and sensible plan for hours on and off duty. Under the old plan two policemen went on duty at 1 o'clock I p. m. and remained on until 1 o'clock a. m? when they were relieved by the other two. This necessitated getting up and going to work at 1 o'clock at night regardless of the weather or anything else. The new plan makes the hours from 7 o'clock to 7 o'clock, or a whole day on and a whole night off and vice versa. Mr. B. B.

In the east parlor where the ceremony took place, the altar was draped with palmettoes, azaleas and South Carolina smilax, emblematic of the nativ4 state of the bride. Banked fenrs and potted plants graced the various nooks and corners. At 3:30 o clock /.Yiiiss Eva Wyatt of the senior class of the college sounded the LohenI grin march and the ushers, Walter W.! Daniel, Jr., and Rodney Gary, entered. The bride, wearing a moaisn ana De- j coming traveling suit of brown broad- 1 cloth, entered the east parlor, accom- j panied by her mother, Mrs. W. W.

Immediately after the reception the bridal pair motored to the Seaboard station and took the northbound train for a bridal trip. Mrs. Sidbury, as Miss Daniel, has been a po-pular and able member of the college racuity ior tnree years anu she will be greatly missed by the stu-: dent body and a host of friends in Co- j lumbia.
