There will be an episode represent ing every phase of American history. The national scenes have been worked out elsewhere but the South Carolina scenes have been worked over by a committee of people familiar with the history of the state to see that they are historically correct. Some scenes are national in character but all have statewide import. There will be scenes from the pion cers, the Indians, from both the great wars and all the forces which have gone into the making of history. South Carolina was one of the first colonies to be settled, one of the first to declare independence from Great Britain, she was the first to break away from the Union on the War Between the States, and the first shot in the famous battle of Fort Sumter was fired on South Carolina soil. In the making of South Carolina the University has played a leading part. For nearly a century and a half it has been located in the capital city, it saw the invasion of Sherman's Army and it suffered from the base usurpation of the negroes after they were set free. The. sons and daughters of the University have done their share in the progress of the state from the small settlements of a few hundred peop)le to the progressive and ever in.. creasingly progressive state of today. The people of the state will have the opportunity of seeing a spectacle which they have never viewed before. As students we should be intensely inter ested for this pageant is not only an enormous undertaking as far as num bers is concerned but it has also its historical and literary value. The hardships and trials which our forefathers went through with will be brought vividly to our minds and we will realize more fully than ever be fore something of the big task set for themselves when they broke away from the Mother Country and came here to combat in numerable obstacles to give us the background which we nowv have. Dr. J. C. Guilds, President of Colum bia College will be "Father Time." Many of the Columbia and Chicora College girls will also take part. The John B. Rogers Co., of Ohio, is in charge of the pageant but the Col umbia people have charge of the cast ing of the characters and many other dletails of production. The directors are experienced in pageantry and they will give the people of South Carolina something which they have never had the opportunity of seeing before and which they will long remember as a feature of the State Fair unequalled before. The pageant will be put on Friday and Saturday nights of fair wveek in the football stadium. Because of the space required for the stam. only 10, Rat Dies As Result of Beating Dealt By Merciless Sophs BODY SEEN ON CAMPUS Rodent Weighed About Pound Watchman Arrived Too Late To Save Victim in Tenement One Rat killed Saturday night in tene ient One. No one seems to know his name. It is only known that a 'rat' meeting ended disastrously. Sunday morning we noticed lying on the ground in front of Tenement One, a 'rat' cold and stiff. Evidently the said rat had unreasonably disturbed some hard working soph and aroused his ire. ATound flew that old reliable stick with such a stinging side; again and again the stick fell. There was no escape for the poor rat. He died with out a bound. The night watchman heard nothing of the shameful act. That such a disgraceful incident should occur on our campus and our ever watchful and infallible caretaker heard it not is indeed increditable. The Gamecock sent a detective to investigate the killing but nothing was learned. The murderer was not ap prehended. The only testimony to the dastardly act was the corpse recumbent upon the ground. Heartless students passed by and did not attempt to do anything. Only murmured something about "poor fellow, hard luck' an<l hurried in to the princely breakfast awaiting them at the Mess Hall. No one shed a tear, no one seemed to care. But why should they? A "rat's" a rat for all that and this one was no different. For the benefit of any one who might miss him, he is, or rather was about eight inches long, dark gray in color, and weighed about a pound. - U.S.C. - EVERYONE COMPELLED TO ATTEND CHAPEL (Continued From Page One) excuse will be placed on probation.
