RATS AWAKEN MAIN STREET FRIDA Y NIGHT Columbia Thrown into Chaos as Students Parade City's Principal Streiet ALL SHIRT-TAILS ARE OUT Climax Comn. to College Night As Gamecock Supporters Tell Columbia They Are Back Yelling, cheering, singing, hooting, raving young savages awoce Main street of Columbia last Friday night from a slumber of over three months. Pedestrians paused to gaze in awe and consternation; traffic on the principle thoroughfare of the capital city came to a halt; the police force resigned for the time Ling; street cars were "jerked;" Columosa was viewing the annual "College Night" shirt-tail pa rade staged by the freshmen of the University of South Carolina. Columbia was the goat as the new men of the state institution began their active college careers. Careers that the faculty, registration, and other symbols of college life cannot abet. The freshmen were getting the real old .'arlia sp'it;" t-e spiril with a kick and vim; the pep that lasts a life time and is never forgotten. Yes, Co lumbia was the goat as the long thin line moved up and down the street to turn the dignified city into chaos. Across streets, on side walks, thru traffic, into theatres, everywhere, un der the leadership of Jimmy Baldwin and his assistants, cheered on by en thusiastic upper classmen, the line wended its way. Shirt-tai is out, many in pajamas, and other unconventional attire, none cared or objected. This line was irrestible, as some who tried to buck it, found to their sorrow. Even a motorman's pistol had no effect. The state capitol alone stopped t1f wild throng, but only because the stop was voluntary. In front of the majes tie building all halted and shook the very foundations with mighty cheers, lustly songs and deep roars. Finally, exhausted of energy, but inbued with so'rit, the gay crowd dispersed and slowly found its way back to the cam pus to seek much needed repose.- An other college night was ended and Co lumbia is safe for another year. - U.s.c. - Design Students to Try Cover Designing Cover to Be Sketched for South Carolina State Fair Pag eant Program The art department of the Uni versity has been asked by the stage society producers of tfie big pageant to be given at the state fair, to have the students of design, compete in making a eover design for the program books. The same interior design is to be used this year as last, and a cover is wanted to symbolize the spirit and industry of the State of South Caro lina and the pageant as much as pos sible. On Saturday at nine-thirty, a repre sentative of the printing company who is to print the programs will meet with one of the design classes and all comn pet'tors would do well to attend and hear his instructions, as to size and color. He will bring samples of paper and particulars will be announced at this time. No material prize is offered for this design, but the idea that ones name will be before ten thousand of the people of South Carolina as designer of this cover should be enough to make any would-be artist put on his or her think ing cap. - U.s.C. Athene Club Elects Four New Officers At a meeting of the Athene club held last week on Green street, the follow ing officers were elected: president, Miss Gladys Young of Fairfax; vice president, Miss Margaret Lyon of Co lumb'a; secretary and treasurer, Miss Margaret McCall of Flor,ence.

This male chicken weathered the. voyage up successfully, though he had several experiences while attempting the "col legiate method" of travel, hoboing. Exactly where the emblem of Caro lina is kept when not in service is not known, but when the necessity arises, he appears upon the scene with that proud strut.
