REGISTRA TION WEDNNESDA Y AT UNIV. GYM Same Plan of Registration Used This Year As Was Adopted Last Year MOB INSTINCT ASSERTED Instructors Aid Students to Go Through Process of Matric.. ulating and Parting With Their Money Eight-thirty Wednesday morning the steps of the gymnasiufn were thronged by a mob of young people. Registra tion was to begin at nine and these seekers of knowledge were awaiting the opening of the doors so they might matriculate. The mob instinct asserted itself in the form of pushing, elbowing, and other forms of that great American sport of jamming. This small reporter had the misfortune to be trampled un der foot by the boisterous boys and cunning co-eds. One freshman turned to him and said, "Say, Buddy, when you get through standing on my foot, just remember that it belongs to me". After several eons of scrimmaging the reporter finally entered the doors. Registration was worked very much on the same plan this year as last..The student is first admitted to a room, in which his records (if he is a oew man) are investigated.. Station onb is a table containing all blanks that must be filled. The doubtful student also gets information here as to filling said blanks. Section two is composed of a row of tables where the student may work out schedules and do other writing. Sec tion two also serves as an information booth. Along the east wall is a long table for registering with the various de partments. A placard on the wall di rects one to each department. One or two faculty members sit under each placard for the purpose of assigning students to sections and signing slips. Here necessary information is given and schedules definitely arranged. All slips are signed here and none left for the class rooms. This plan also av oids confusion of later arranging the numbers of sections. After all blanks are filled and passed by the faculty, the student goes to the registrar section on the west side of the building. Here conies final settle ment and adjustment, and the student is through matriculating except to part with his money. Mr. Huggins, the treasurer, is ready and willing to take the cold cash as his office is arranged next to the registrar. Here, as the old saying goes, a fool and money (or maybe his father's) are soon parted. Then the student walks out the back door .nd his term's work is complete, except for the attendance of classes. - U.S.C. Rooster /McFadden To Start Practice Several Old Men Will Return From Squad of L.ast Year Cross-country and track practice will begin October 1, coach McFadden announced Wednesday. "It is not definitely known whether we will have a regular cross-country teams as yet," said coach McFadden in discussing the prospects of the long winders. Several good men are back from the old varsity squad and a few freshmen have shown up well. Captain Marion Boyce o' the -varsity track team is back and is in good shape to begin another year. Dave Frierson, varsity miler, who placed last year in a record breaking field of miters in the state meet is the second ranking man. Keels. the midget two miler who won several races last year with plucky sprints at the finish, will make another member of the team. Others are, Silverman, Hearon, Grims Iey, Walker and UJlmer. The entire track squad will begin work in October. This is the first time that practice has been begun so early, and Carolina is expected to put forth a crack team next spring.

State Highway Departmeni Grants Petition Filed by Hayes Bus Lines I Busses of the Hayes Bus Line wil call at the University campus for and passengers this year. Heretofore stu dents wishing to take busses had to g< to the bus station but now the campus will be a regular station for the lines.

As a result this magazin of the campus poets is left without directing hand. An editor must bi named soon, so the publication ma begin work, and a meeting of the liter, ary societies will probably be called a once, although no announcement ha been made as yet. By the constitution of the Caroliniai the editor for this term must comi from ere of the co-.ed societies. Ol students will remember the hectii three-day session of the societies las year in an attempt to name this editor Presidents of the societies are urgei to take notice of the fact that there i no editor and act as soon as possible - U.s.C.

The old Entomology Building ha; now become the office of Mr. Jimma Driver, the director- of student activi ties. It has been worked over and nicely furnished to suit the dignity oi the said official. The old Grub House on Green street has been made larger. It is hopec now that military ranks will be abolish. ed at the Mess Hall, and that all the ~patrons can be accomodated without having to wait so long. - U.s.c. Freshman May Get Caps at University As well as by other means, fresh. men have already begun to be distin guished by the black caps with the garnet "C". Following the example set by Lauson Scott, the first purchaser of one of the headpieces, scores of first year men have been visiting tenement seven to obtain, theirs. In order to keep the new boys fronm inquiring at hardware stores for these caps, they are being sold on the canm bus this year. All freshmen may gel theirs from Cecil W. Scott, in tenement seven. - U.s.c. - "A burgular broke into my place last night." "Did he get anything?" "Well, rat her. You see my wife thought that it w,a me." 'Y' Handbook Ready at .Y.M.C.A. Offices O. L. Warr Editor-in-Chief of the Freshman Book of Knowledge O. L. Warr, of Timmonsville, was editor-in-chief of the "Y" h'andbook for freshman this year. The "rat > bible" is off the press and can be ob tained at the Y.M.C.A. offices. The book is dedicated to Prof. J. A. - Stoddard, acting chairman of the Y.M. i C.A. board and the dedication is as follows: To Prof. J. A. Stoddard, a - man who possesses common sense i without frills, a Christian gentleman, and a true friend to all who n-:ed one, s this handbook of 1926 is dedicated. The handbook is of 100 pages and bound in white leather with a garnet and black Gamecock on the front, crow I ing lustily for Carolina. Miss Eliza beth Hardy was Y.W. editor, A. R. > Godshall, business manager, and L. A. Garvin, assistant. Page two is "In Memorian" to the late president of the University, Dr. W. D. Melton. Following is a reprint I from the handbook of last year of the greetings from Dr. Melton to the stu - dentsi of 1926. The introduction to the freshmen begins, "This is one publication of the campus prepared primarily for you. It is published in order that you may have advanced dope on life at Carolina. This book contains invaluable infor mation for upper-classmen as well as freshmen, such as campus information, schedules and calendars, map of the grounds and one of the city, important personages, campus activities, consti tution of the student body, athletics, and other things. Of particular note to all freshmen are the songs and yells which all sons of Carolina know, and freshmen should know -by now. If you don't know them, learn them. -u.s.c. Co-eds Increase to Overflowing Point Freshmen Numerous and Rooms Scarce-Private Homes Helping Out The most convincing proof one could deside of the University's rapid growth in the last two years, is the increase in the number of co-eds applying for admission, and naturally where there are more co-eds there are more boys. Miss Dillard has been compelled to refuse admittance for this year to many anxious would-be freshmen, be cause of the inadequate housing quar ters at present. Only two or three freshmen were lucky enough to be assigned rooms in the main dormitory, and only then by virtue of having applied many months ago, and because a great many old girls like the Rembert House, and An nex so much they preferred not to change their homes. An interesting change has been made in the managment of the Rembert House. Miss Smith, former matron and Director of Physical Education for women has acquired a handsome Ger man police dag, so she has bet com pelled to give up her other clMer in his favor so she has taken an apart ment for herself and dog. Mrs. Barrentine is the new matron and from the enthusiastic reports of Renmbert House residents is goin to be our second "Mother-Mid"'. By the way, someone asked if "Mother-Mid" were here this year. Very much so, but don't blame her, If you haven't seen her yet. She hasn't recovered from the shock yet, but she is fast succeeding in straightening out all the..frst kinks. The two annexes of last year have proved inadequate to hold the over flow, so a great many private homes in the neighborhood have been pressed into service. Mrs. Hendrix at 1809 Green street has converted part of her home into an ideal dormitory for girls. She hasd the new girls rooming there, but taking meals in the Cafeteria at the Woman's Building. Mrs Best on Marion street, Mrs. Goodwin on Pen dleton and several other kind ladies haye taken in some of the girls who were unable to secure dormitory rooms. Business for Miss White is increasing because most of these girls eat in the Cafeteria. There are -.bout 135 takIng meals there, whlej there are 15 or 20 boarding in private homes.
