Dr. Parkinson also spent several weeks during the latter part of the summer at Blowing Rock ,N C.

Of all the summer resorts the mountains of North Carolina seemed to be the favorite. Professors Cole man, Van Meter, Snowden, Derrick, and others were in the mountains of that state for the summer.

GAMECOCK ORCHESTRA RETURNS FROM EUROPE (Continued from page 1) glass, and the walls are hand-painted The favorite dance in Europe is the "Charleston" and the boys state thal in order for the dancers to do this in tircate step announcement had to be made to the effect that "Charleston dancing would be permitted. 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.

This af fair lasted from 11:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. m. a. d the boys had to content them selves with members of their own. sex for entertainment, as no girls were al- c lowed to attend. 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.
