It has grown into one of the important parts of the cani pus activities, and its arrival at football games is a signal for renewed pep and energy on the part of the students in the cheering section. Last year the band gave numerous concerts on the campus at twilight, and these exhibitions were always wel comed by the students. Quite a large crowd came out each time the band played. Professor Olsen is working hard with his squad this year and reports that it will probably surpass any of the musical organizations around here, both for its real qualities and its ability to produce "sound." About thirty men are reporting regularly for the prac tices and are all eager to do their part toward making the work successful. During the past spring the band made a trip to Saluda, where it gave a concert that was spoken of highly thruout that section. This year ar rangements are being made for trips to Greenville and Orangeburg in the near future, possibly along with the football team to each of these places. It is also planned to book a complete tour of the state for next spring. The band has already begun a study of several standard overtures from the United States Military Band Journal, and the American Star Journal. Sev eral that have already been selected are: Raymond Overture, A. Thomas; Obenon, V. Weber; Zampa, F. Herold; Andante from Fifth Symphony, Bee thoven; and the Second Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt. Twenty-two ment have practically "made" their places, among these are. W. Hull, snare drums and tympani; John Howie, H. A. Lupo, S. B. Fish burne, Paul Balser, Sam Vance, saxo phones; D. H.

Under the regulations these exams wvill be given by Dr. N. B. Hey ward, University physician. Medical examination will b)e given every day except Saturday andl Sunday in the north wing of the infirmary. The hours fo'r tmetn are front 3 until 6. Ar-. rangemtents have not beent comipleted for the examination for wvomnen b)ut will appear in the Gamecock wvhen the hours have been decided. Improvements Will be Made Says Melton Additions to Mess Hal, Postof J, ar Infirnmry Are Planned WORK TO BEGIN SOON Unusual Growth Has Made Necessary Many Changes to Take Care of Inflow Improvements and extensions for Steward's Hall, the post office in Le gare, and the infirmary are under con sideration by the University. In an in terview with the representative of the Gamecock, Dr. Melton stated that no actual work might begin before the Christmas holidays, but that an effort would be made to begin at once. "We realize," said the president, "the crowded condition that prevails in many of the brances of the University. and hope to remedy matters as soon as possible. Plans are being drawn up and will be considered as soon as they are completed." Because of the unusual number of students eating at the mess hall, con ditions have been somewhat crowded. It is planned to improve the facilities of the building, possibly providing another door so that the jam will be removed. Dr. Melton is also consid eriAg the advisability of another build ing, to eitLer add to the present or include it. The demand for boxes at the post office has exhausted the supply. As a result a large portion of the student body has had to rely on general deliv ery for service. Since most of the students ask for their mail at the same time, the service has been unsatisfac tory to those in charge as well as to the students. Lack of space has been the cause of much of the difficulty, and according to the plans scheduled, this will be provided for by an extension of the present quarters. No information has been received on the action of the Postmaster General on the application by the University for a contract branch Dr. Melton said that. if nothing was heardl he would take a trip to Wash ington to expedite matters. While the infirmary has been able in normal conditions to meet demands, it has steadily become inadequate. With the accommodations for women on the. campus, there has been added the need for one wing of the building. In case of an epidemic of any propor tions the present space would be in sufficient if crowding were to be avoid ed . Additions to the building will serve to prepare the hospital to meet any emergency. - :.s.c. - TWENTY - SEVEN MORE STUDENTS HAVE ENROLLED REGISTRATION NOW 1282 Past Week Shows Large Matric ulation of Graduate Students -High Water Mark' Twenty seven studlents have register edl at the University since October 1.

The executions were so numerous that the Communists could not afford a firing squad for each man. but an executioner placed the pistol at the base of the brai. and fired. The Bolsheviks were follo\\ers of Carl Marx and believed that everything was the workers for the taking. Wherk Professor Kilpatrick was brooght be. fore the commander-in-chief of the Communists to be questioned, he point2d to a five-pointed star on his cap and said that it stood for the five continents ot the earth that would some (lay be under their rule.

Tlhe spleaker, said the University hadl been estab)lishedI fr a more specific pirpose than merely to educate. The state of South Carolina operates this school to turn out citizens, good citizens. All of the activities of the school and all classes and courses should remindl the studlents of this fact. The state sjends a great deal of money on this school.
