SBHOM TEAM P1ESENTS GUVER HOOEY STUNT Cfca»e< Aftermath of fatuity—Mr

alar Came Oave Murli

I t n i with • great deal of excite-ment that the girls assembled in chapel Friday morning. The after-noon before the Seniors had defeat ed the faculty in a hockey game, the •eore being t-0, and it was rumored about lliat the Seniors were planning a stunt lo celebrate their victory.

As Dr. Kinard announced tl score of the game, there was a com-motion in the back of the audi-torium and tlm President of tbe Athletic Association, "Pinda" Major, appeared and advanced up the aisle. She was dressed in her hockey suit, but in place of her usual athletic stride she walked in a halting man-ner and with a decided limp. Her arm hanging loosely in a sling, ber note and chin, adorned with plaster, testified to the fact that she had been the victim of a hard-fought battle. The appearance of "Jazz' Milling in like condition, and with ber head three times its natural size, her usual merry countenance, solemn and blood-stained, showed that she also had been victimized.

Gadsden and Cheatham, the next in the procession, looked as if they had indeed been "winged," the righl arm gone and the left of the other hanging limply a t tlieir sides, while their one good Member guided their much needed crutches. The most conspicuous thing about Lander a: •be hopped along was the size of her left eye, which was now no longer brown but wholly black and blue. Porter, Meng, and Temple presented a sad spectacle, their countenances varying with the American (lag in the redness of tho blood, the blue-ness of the bruises and the pal" warmness of their complexions. Musette Taylor, the mighty goa' guard, looked as if the ball and many of tho sticks had taken her for their goal.

It took the appearance of the striking center, Betty Haile, to really strike remorse to the hearts of the faculty for the havoc they had wrought. Stretched out in a rolling chair, guided by two of her fellow sufferers, Livingston and Baleman, Betty was a pitiful sight. The extreme deathly palor of hor face, showing in marked contrast to tbe bloody splotches, made an awful spectacle.

This assemblage of the lialt, the lame, and the nearly-blind, slowly wended its way to the stage and. In the presence of those who caused their ills, sang:

1'he Seniors, seeing themselves on tho homeward stretch, deemed it tilting to pause an instant before the final lap and look backward over their past three years. So, rliaporon-ed by Mr. and Mrs. Brown, the) went over lo Johnson llall to peruse together, "The Seniors' Memory Book."

An all-day sucker adorned with the lovely colors garnet and black was given to each person as she entered. It is said that looking back-ward is a sign of old age, but judg-ing by the joy this particular kind of candy gave, old ago is the last thing the Seniors need be worry-ing about. The candy having vanish-ed and the colors being pinned on each girl a grand inarch was pro-posed. This was triumphantly led by Belly Haile and Mr. Brown such a manner that when a halt was railed every one was ablo to see the landing in the lobby where the Memory Book was to be opened.

The book opened, and there the 1925 Freshmen stood arriving at Wintlirop—skirts up to the knees— no coats and each hat a different color. The Freshman was a hit wared and a bit tearful too.

The Freshmen on page two were wild-yeed and desperate. Schedule day! Mad dashing and much run-ning. Elizabeth Scruggs with her big plaid bow on her shirt waist and her hair fixed out big like balloon on each ear was quite salisf.ed be-cause she had her schedule flxeil except just getting the teach-ers to sign i!.''

Going homo for Christmas holi-days filled the next page; so it of course was a jolly one. Another page was given to the Junior-Fresh-man parly.

MISS SARA ROGERS VISITS [our editorial page.

Itmar J. W. Ihonnon. The Presbyterian College of South

Carolina signally honored two Win-tlirop men last Wednesday when it conferred honorary degrees upon President David Bancroft Johnson and Professor J. W. Thomson. Pres-ident Johnson received the degree of doctor of laws and Professor Thomson that of doctor of litera-ture. This is Ihe second time IHIIII men have been so honored, Dr. Johnson having received the degree of LI..D. in 1905 from the South Carolina college, now Ihe Univer-sity of South Carolina, and Dr. Thomson Ihe same degree from his alma mater. Krskine College, in I9IH.

Several other leaders in the ed-ucational and religious life of the stale received honorary degrees from Presbyterian College al the same time, Ihe list including I ir. W. I). Mellon, president of the Univer-sity of South Carolina, Bishop Fin-lay, of the Episco|ial ehurcli. and Mrs. Lcroy Springs, of Lancaster.

The honors bestowed upon Pres-ident Johnson by Ihe leading college of his denomination in the state is a tribute a t once to his educational leadership, and lo his active interest in (lie work of his church. |)r. Thomson likewise has for a number of years taken active interest in de-nominalional affairs, and his work as professor of the English Bible at Wintlirop has brought him wide rec-ognition as a Bible scholar. The conferring of Ihe degree of doctor of literature ution him comes, there-fore, as a deserved recognition of his attainments in Ihe Held of Bible scholarship.

Two new buildings were dedicated al P. C. Wednesday, a new dormi-tory and the Leroy Springs Gymna-sium. Mr. Springs gave $100,000 to ' the college for Ihe new gymnasium, which in construction and appear -ance is very much like the Pcabody Gymnasium on Ihe Wintlirop Cam-pus.

There was great speculation on the part of all as to who would be what, but it took only a short time to find "Who's Who" in the class of '28.

CHEATING IN COLLEGE.

More Prevalent la Uw Nerth T h a a la the Saulh.

(From Greenville Piedmont.) "Cheating li the bane of American

colleges," said President Marlon L. Burton of the University of Michi-gan, in a recent address to his s tu-dents.

Cheating may be prevalent in the West and North, but i t is not corn-

colleges in the South. There's a reason.

The honor system in one form or another prevails generally through-out the South in higher institutions of learning for both young men and young women.

ot a student be caught cheating an examination and in almost

every caso he or she will bo expelled, not by the faculty, but by the s tu-dents themselves.

The honor system had its begin-ning at William and Mary College

Virginia more than a century ogo. Perhaps the next Institution to adopt it was the South Carolina Col

simply because it is proper thing to do, and two w« who hate each other will Uss fo r the same reason. These u s e s . a r e a degradation of one Of the most beautiful modes of expression in the world. -

In Iceland they do not under-stand the kiss as a mode of saluta-tion hut it is regarded as something belonging to the supernatural. W a child is fll you will sometimes see Its mother solemnly kiss the little one on the breast—au Invocafion to the Supreme Being tha t her child may be cured.

We are not altogether without superstition regarding the kiss. At one t ime many a gambler might have been seen kissing the cards to bring him luck, and the warrior before starting out to battle would kiss the favor given him by his lady to Insure victory and to en-hance his safety. Until lately we kissed the Book when we took the oath "to speak the t ru th , the whole truth, and nothing but the t ruth ."

And who has not seen a mother lege, now the University of 8outh ( a k o ^ c | , | | d In her arms" and kiss Carolina. John D. Wade, in his ro-ccnt book, "Augi'slus Baldwin Long-slrecl," • litis describes the honor system a t that institution when Judge I.ong9treet was its president:

"If a genfleman would not per -mit his whim gainsaid, would he. then, offer even slightest valid grounds for his honor to be looked askance a t ? Tho possibility was not to be considered.

How different this from the sys-tem prevailing in other sections of the country where the students tak-ing an examination is under con-slant surveillance from tho lime he receives his examination papers until he turns them inl

Why is it that the honor system prevails in the South and not else-where?

The only answer that suggests i t-self is I hat here youth is practically all of a strain and stock Instinctively responsive to the sense of bonor.

PAGE BERNHARDT!

The rumor ths t Madame 8sralt Bernhardt has transferred her membership from Conan Doyle's Army of Invisible to the "Masquers"

doubtless without foundation. We say doubtless because we dare not state with any cert i tude whal-

what minute a member of said Drama Society might undergo a pe-ripety (speaking in dramatic terms —in plain English, "might undergo a change").

We can state, however, that the members of the "Masquers." barked by its directors, Miss Bnell and Miss Mims, purpor t "to discover and de-velop talent, to produce good drnmn in a worthy manner and to obtain

more thorough understanding of the dramatic instinct." In so doing if the Bernhardt spirit appears, so much the better. In the meantime the Masquers themseUes a re hav ing "the lime of their lives" in just being amateurs, learning slage life.,

Any one that feels lite lure of lite footlights, the fascination of cos-tumes and make-up and the intense joy of "acting" has a chance lo Join the happy throng of "Masquers."

The Music club held its first meet-ing of this year on Friday a f l c r -

Octobcr 10. at 5 o'clock. Due to ils being the initial meeting of Ihe year there was an unusual amount of business to be handled. However, a very enjoyable program hail been arranged and it immedi-ately followed the business session. Miss Campbell gave a short and in-formal talk, which proved helpful 38 well a s instructive, on the theme of "Being n Missionary fo r Music. In tho course of her remarks. Miss Campbell sounded Ihe nole of "rev-erence in Ihe presence of music.' We each have un opportunity to

hear and lo lake part in good and beautiful music, so it is our privt lege to be appreciative of music in all forms, whether il be one of the great maslerpieccs or one of the humblest of our hymns." The pro-gram was concluded wilh hvo vlc-trola numbers, each prefaced with remarks by one of the r lub mem-bers. Helen Swygcrt presented "Danse Macabre." by Saint-Saens. and Alicia Dillard "Meditation" from "Thais" by Massenef.

Membership in Ihe Music Club is honorary, resting upon a scholar, ship basis, which resuires (hat all candidates make a grado of A in music before being eligible fo r the club. The time of meeting has been rearranged, so that fo r this year mcclings will be held on the first Friday in every month.

The officers of the Music Club President, n u t h Rankin; vice-pres-ident, Eunice Jordan; secretary Mary Sloan; treasurer, Hazel Feis-ner.

It Is the general opinion among people that most folks are grouchy early in Ihe morning. But be it said to the credit of our class, we were quite an amiable bunch. We Judged tha t Dr. Edwards must consider it great sport, since he appeared a t -tired in knickers. So we accepted his view-point and found tha t i t really was good sport. In fact it 's a game in which tho man with the best imagination wins, because he can make tho most pictures out of ihe stars and decide what 's In tho Big Dipper. So fascinating was the game of ' finding constellations that we were rcluclant to go u p to the observatory where such things as the origin of the black spots on the moon-' Acre discussed. While w e were up there daylight came, which brought the class to a close and we tip-toed back lo our rooms to sleep and wonder next morning If our midnight journey were anvthing

Washington Star. There a re some girls who a re

never kissed. The Japanese lover, for instance, does not salute his betrothed in our fashion. He r e -gards kissing as a queer foreign cus-tom; i t has no meaning for him. Iu China the kiss is considered dis-graceful.

But although the kiss is unknown or at any rate neglected in m parts of the world, nearly every tion has some form of salutation which corresponds wi th the 1 pean kiss. The Malays and Eskimos greet each other by r u b -bing noses. Among the Burmese thi form of greeting which denotes af-fection is to apply the cbcck ant draw a long breath.

I t is t rue tha t the kiss is also used as a means of salutation where there is no affection or even res-pect. Children, for instance, a r e taught tha t they must kiss people from whom they may have a strong

A GREATER WINTHROP We believe will result from the adoption of a proposed amendment to the South Carolina Constitution to be voted upon in the general election next month which provides for a 110,000,000 bond issue, the proceeds of which are to be expended in enlarging and improving South Caro-lina's educational, penal and charitable institutions, and of course this m e m that Winthrop will get her share if the election is carried.

It behooves everyone interested in the advancement of South Carolina's educational and other institutions to work for the successful carrying out of this program. If you want to help improve the citizenship and general welfare of our state, use your influence in this direction.

The Winthrop Students' Exchange Is not merely a room where girls may go to cook and sew. It is vital part of tbe Y. W. C. A. on our campus, and as such should

part in every Winthrop girl's The object of this i

is to furnish means by which girls, who desire to do so, may es money for all those innumerable ex-

• which are such a drain on the purse of every college studeut Members of the faculty and student body often have work to be done and desire to And some one to do it for them, so tbe exchange girl among its members and thus aids both parties In the Ira The F.xcbange also provides a place where girls may go and. while en-joying an hour of old-fashione. cooking and candy-making, forgel that they are far from home and perhaps just a little homesick. has been popular in the past for a group of girls to purchase materials and cook a meal in the Exchange room, where thoy ean practice the culinary art in their own way an cook what they like.

In the iiast years the Exchange room has been situated on fifth floor. Main Building, and while it was used a great deal by the students the Ave flights of stairs and the great spacc of the room was rather a handicap. We all appreciated the privilege accorded us, yet we rather dreaded the long, weary climb.

As Winthrop grows larger, it is necessary to expand and so it wa« decided to make the large Exchange room into class rooms and move our departmenl lo the basement of Main Building. This is our gain, because it is decidedly more convenient for <is in our new headquarters. The Kxchnngc room is now in what used to be the old Y. W. C. A. store and as it is much easier to reach than formerly, we hope the students will find it of even greater service in the future than they have found it in the past

The new room is somewhat like a modern kitchenette in its compact arrangement. It is furnished with a stove, two irons, two ironing boards, and two machines in good ropari. The Exchange has also been recently supplied with new equip-ment and the shining array of pots and pans is enough to charm the heart of any chef.

The Exchange room will be open on Tuesday and Thursday aftci 3 o'clock, on Saturdays after 2 o'clock, and on holidays for those girls who wish lo use the stove. Th stove may be filed for in the pad across from the supply room; of Ave cents per hour for one ring is charged. Utensils for cooking may be used free of charge, must not be taken from the change room. Anyone may use the I several hundred years and to Rohm stove, but only members of the Ex- : Hood and all his merry men who change and the Exchange Commit- frequented the old English fairs, tee may use the irons and machines.

Though an error, the number of Lutherans at Winthrop was omit-ted from the report of the religious com us which was published in The Johnsonian last week. Htere are thirty-eight Lutherans at Winthrop and the omission of this group was purely an inadvertence.

Talks. On Monday, October 0. the Chem-

istry Club held its regular meet-An unusually interesting pro-

gram was rendered. The flrst num-ber on the program was a paper Ity Miss Jessie Moore, lolling how a Ber-lin scientist thinks he lias made gold from quirksilvcr. Next, Miss Alicia Dillard gave a delightful violin solo. The rest of the program was in charge of those girls who are nrm studying "Creative Chemistry." Mis# Ellen Prescolt told of a new way »' making pearls from Ash scales. Mi.* Belle Cole reported on a new coal-lar derivative that is 2.000 tiin. s sweeter than sugar. Miss Eliza Clark said that in the near future the streets around hospitals would be pavod with rubber blocks that neither wear nor make noise. Miss Lyda i'oslon gave an interesting talk on Hie combatting of weeds in Cal.-fornia. They merely allow water In slnml on them. This killed tV' weeds, but did not harm the sce-l planted. Annie Willis interested everyone with her talk on "Dreams Made to Order." Dr. Slosson thinks that scientists will soon be able to (ell what causes dreams and also lo give rortain medicines to cause cer-tain dreams.

After the program, business mai-lers were discussed. The constitu-tion, with amendments, was read anil many new members were admilli-to the club.

"And did he live?"

(Columbia slate.) This, we remember of a past that

rows dimmer with every dusk and

se with which an older genera passed judgment upon tbe girl

of its day. She was something that struck the old codgcrs, male and fe-male, as being terrible, menacing tn morals and to civilization itself.

Every generation has this mem in its "girl or the period"—as ir the girl could well be of any other era

ipan of time. This slender, gracile, silhouetted, painted and be-powdered little feminist is always 011 the verge or revolt and upsetting the somber old world. Sbe will, some day, some or us affect to rear, toss her cropped head over the wreck of modern progress, and sin? its obsequies in a jazz tune as she trips or vibrates off the stage witli a sardonic fox-trot or hectic tango.

But even among the more staid and stabilized thinkers and the more sober watrhers of Hie shift-ing scene, there is evidence or n returning sense or security. Things

perhaps, more stable and bet-ter tenoned than wo reared. We need not start the panic and slam pedo jusl yet.

In Chicago—surely the appropri-ate plare for a sane word—Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, of the Meth-odist Episcopal church, assured his fellow-communicants and the rest of the world that he had made his peace with jazz and bobbed hair, and that he feared these terrible things no more. These young girl" who prefer, for the day, to make up their own faces and trust to their own taste in music and thinking who bob their hair and dance to jazz tunes, may not be, the bishop says, as vicious as they seem lo cer-tain "pious old stewards and staid churrh trustees."

A still more encouraging note on the young girl of the period is struck by a teacher of many of them, Vida D. Scudder, a profes-sor at Wollesley College and au-thor of several well-known books.

gives to The New Republic her experience with classes of youn;-girls studying "Social Ideals in Eng-lish Letters." She confesses that "a college teacher of many years' standing likes to bear her witn.'s* that she never enjoyed youth more than now." Tbero is little doubt that the girl or the day or the pass-ing hour or the hurrying minutes lias given a new and a fresher dash ot color to the entire human scenes and. as Miss Scudder says, "the freed legs and ankles imply more free-dom in the attack on lite; but !he gentleness, dignity and gayety whie'i mark the well-bred woman aro not hard to find; simplicity and mod-esty are still native to girlhood."

Twenty-flvo young girls were asked by her to take 10 minutes In

rite Ove questions on which lhe> "would like to receive light." Some or the responses are no less than amazing, we think. They show

us side ot the young girl lha< one does not always quite accept. She has been thinking, while many ot us supposed that all Ihe lime she had been jazzing away Ihe hours. She has even pondered many ques-tions and problems that disturb our sleep—and some day they may help another generation to solvo them.

Three ot the class ot 25 asked: How meet the problem ot race an-

tagonisms, especially in America?" (Negro, Japanese, hordes ot immi-grants.)

Nine or Ihe 25 asked this knotty question:

"Can wo ever have perfect inter-national understanding, and pre-

al the same time a love of our own country and a sense ot its special importance?"

Thousands ot our statesmen and politicians are busying themselves daily with frying to evade such n problem as that. Yet these young girls are demanding an answer to it. And it must, some day, be an-swered. Should patriotism—a spe-cialized love of one country, which may be ours by clianco or by a choice that was not ours—destroy a higher virtue—love of all man-kind as brothers? Answer that question, as doubtless these young challengers would have it answered, and there could be no more war in Ihe world.

How remove the stigma attached to tho word. Labor?"

"Why is the person who struggles for a living least regarded in law?"

"How far should the state con-trol the individual?"

Were the status of the classes" (for we have "classes" in this coun-try as much as in England) "re-versed, should we be better off? What, in such case, would be the policy of tho working class?"

Pretty tough problems, wo should say, at a venture.

And lo think of theso tender, crisply cropped heads puzzling over them, instead of looking into vanity bags and bepowdering their dainty

>, as so many ot us rancy them devoting all their waking hours to doing!

Such, as we aro being assured, is tho girl of tho period; and such, we are fully assured, is the period of the young girl.
