Unles. the orchestra announced it, no dancin of this type was allowed by the authori ties. The "Tango" is another favorit< dance and fox-trots are the most pop. ular kind of music. Several sight-seeing trips to famouw cities of the Old World included visit to Paris, Calais, Versailles, Brusselb and many other places. Belgium anc Holland were the countries that ap. pealed most to the Carolina men, anc they assert that in Holland particularlh they were treated royally. The reception given to American. by the citizens of Paris, France is fai from beinL cordial in the opinion of the members of the orchestra. Somt of the boys were stoned by the citizen. and vile epithets were shouted at then by the people on the streets. This is due, they explain, to the controvers) over the French War Debt to th< United States, and only the lowei classes of the French people engage ir any such degrading practices.

The majority of tt. students at this University spoke very good English, the Gamecock boys u state. While over in Europe the orchestra broadcasted once a week from a radio station in Holland, and every time they it a played selection they were announc ed as "The Carolina Gamecock Or chestra of The University of South Carolina, U. S. A. " In this way the 1 University received a great deal of favorable publicity. C Three days were spent in New York, after the return of the orchestra from Europe, in making a test record for the a Okeh Record Co. If this record passes the test the Gamecocks will make a c record every month for this same com I pany. "There's a Boatman On The Volga" and "T'aint Cold" were the i pieces played for the test record. 1 Due to lack of space the full story I of the doings of the orchestra in Eur- c ope can not be told in this edition of ; t tTi Gamecock, but other stories of t their adventures in the Old World will c be told in following issue.s t latedM of Ar COLUMBIA WHITE BARB, I.
