ORCHESTRA HAS GREAT SUCCESS ON DANCE TRIP PLAY FOR TEN DANCES - Takes Trip to Raleigh-Play for N. C. State Dances This Week The Carolina Gamecock orchestra, consisting of nine musicians of the University, spent a busy holiday season playing at different cities thruout the states, and everywhere making a big hit with the dancers. They satisfied the desire of both young and old, for real peppy, jazz music. Due to the success achieved by this small band of players this year, they were chosen to play in North Caro lina this week for three North Carolina State dances. This is an auspicious beginning for the year 1926. Students were returning Monday from their homes, on trains from every section of the state, after having en joyed two weeks of rest; but return ing as a part of those students, were the members of the orchestra who had seen anything but rest during the holi days. Fame Spreads During the past two weeks the syn copation of the Gamecocks soothed and thrilled the hearts of hundreds of South Carolinians on ten different oc casions. The fame of the Gamecock orchestra has now spread over the Southern states, whereas only a little over a year ago it was in its infancy, and few out side of the college itself knew that such an organization existed. Leaving Columbia on December 21, the orchestra made its holiday debut on the night of the 22nd in Bamberg. From Bamberg the boys motored to Allendale to play the next night. The "City by the Sea", Charleston, was des tined to be the next stop, so arriving they furnished music for a private dan ce given at the Francis Marion hotel that night. One of the largest dances that the orchestra played was on "Santa Claus" night, when they were at the opening dance of the Charles ton country club, located at Wappo links on the Ashley. As the orchestra is composed of hu man beings, the manager perhaps de cided that they also needed a little Christmas, so after three days of rest they played f -- the Tarantella at the Jefferson hotel in the capitol city. The thirteenth saw them on a return en gagement at Bamberg. Costumes Shine New Year's eve found the Game cocks giving their biggest and best ex hibition at the Cotillion at the Elk's Hall in Orangeburg. Costumes, adding more spice to the program, were worn. They consisted of garnet and black blazers and brown flannel trousers. As an add(it ional costume, Hutto, the bass pumper, had, as one girl said, twvo darl ing cutaway dlerb)ies. The holiday season is over andl the Gamecocks returned to the campus just for a (lay or so rest. With the North Carolina dances this week they begin what p)romises to be a btusy season this spring. -- u.s.c. - BAND GIVES CONCERT AT CHAPEL EXERCISES Chapel Filled and Overflowing for Entertainment by Olson's Proteges Chapel exercises Thursday morning were turnedl over to Prof. Olsen and his University band.

TABER RECEIVES GIFTS Geology Department Preserved Pictures of Dr. LeConte and Collection of Ores Graduates of the University remember their alma mater pleasantly-some show it by words and others by gifts. Lately, the geology department of Carolina has been the recipient of two gifts from such sources. A picture of I)r. Josep,h LeConte, one of the two brothers after whom LeCome College was named, has been presenjed to the geology department by Mrs. Sar ah LeConte Irby. The picture was taken of Dr. l,eConte shortly before his death while on a trip to the high Sierras near the Yosemite Park. Dr. LeConte was one of the most eminent, if not the most eminent geolo gist of his day in the South, and the picture, besides giving a good likeness of the professor, shows up the beautiful scenery and brings out the effect of th high altitudes on the weathering of rocks. A complete collection of cooper ores from the copper mines in Arizona were sent to Professor Taber last week by a man named Bosweli who finished at the University in 1920. He is now situated at San Francisco with a large mining company, anl the collection is very com plete and would have taken several months to have been collected by a su. ply house. Boswell, since leaving the University, has been connec.ed with several large companies and on,y last month had an article )u)blished in The Technical Jour. mnl on certain ore dleposits. Prof. TIaber saidl that this in itself was a great honor, because many professors and other au thorities contribu'e to the magazine and never have their articles publishedl. - U.s.C. - HOSTlFSS-Really, I cannot place yon.
