FORENSIC YEAR STARTED WITH - NEW COUNCIL Debates With Many Other Schools From Over the Whole South LAST YEAR'S MEN BACK Contests for Roddey Debaters Medal and Keitt Medal to Begin Christmas With the election of Dr. Morse .as Chairman, pro-tem., and O. L. WArr as secretary, the roster of the Debating Council is now complete. It includes: Dr. L. T. Baker, chairman, ex-officio, Dr. Morse, chairman, pro-tem.; O. L. Warr, secretary; Professor Hodges, Guy Tyler, Cecil Wittkowsky, and Tom Craig. The year 1926-47 prom'ses to be a successful one in the annals of foren sic activities. Already letters have been received from several institutions requesting debates for the ensuing year. 'It is almost a certainty that the Florida-Tennessee-Carolina, the P.C. Citadel-Carolina, and the Virginia Georgia-Carolina triangles will again be held this year, with the addition of two or three new debates. With the exceptions of Isadore Pol ier and Calhoun - Thomas, all the block "C" debaters of last year are back again. The coterie of silver tongued orators who are expected to bring victory for Carolina, the Univer sity representatives of the past year, includes the following: Donald Russell, Guy Tyler, W. D. Simpson, Joseph Karesh, C. W. Scott, 0 L. Warr, and Tom Wofford. With these men to up hold the debating standards of the University and with the addition of much promising material from the freshman class of lest year, it seems as though Carolina is destined to rise once more to debating heights as she did in 1922, when the famous "Unbeat able Four," composed of George Wit tkowsky, Coleman Karesh, Thorne Sparkman, and J. E. Hankins, van quished their opponents at will and brought the University of South Caro lina the distinction of being one of the foremost contenders for the mythical debating championship of the South. Forsenic activities begin in earnest at Christmas time when the Rddey De bater's Medal and the Keitt Oratorical Medal will be contested for. These medals were won last year by Guy Tyler, Clariosophic, and Joseph Karesh, Euphradian, respectively. - U.S.C. - Library Was Falsely Accused Last Week One Complete Set of Annuals in Locked File in the After a talk with the librar'an the Gamecockc is glad to correct an erroi in last week's issue. The writer of "Again the Library," inquired about collection of the University annuals and was misinformed about the same. He has since learned that in the base ment of the Library, under lock and key, is a complete set of annuals fron1 1899, when the publication began, to the present day. The librarian's justification for put ting restrictions on the promiscuous use of this one complete set is obvious There were two complete sets, excepi three or four complete volumes of which there was but one copy each, but the set which has not been under lock and key has been sadly abused and~ broken. The librarian informs us that he is endeavoring to make a second com plete file, but finds it almost impossibk to get missing numbers. Any infor mation as to where he can secur< copies of missing numbers will b-. greatly appreciated. - U.S.C. -- A fond mother was exhibiting hei fashionable flapper daughter to th< new recto .

For while the morning prayer was being offered during chapel period, alarm clock No. 1, located in the rear of the chapel, mysteriously exploded and continued to ring out until the visiting minister, dumbfound and aghast, and realizing the useless ness of his efforts, uttered the usual "Amen." Suddenly there pealed forth, on the left, "Big Ben," who with his masculine voice, almost frightened out of their wits some of the co-eds who were sitting nearby. Finally by excellent generalship and unlimited persistence, the audience was brought under control. But alas t at the first stroke of the piano of "Brighten the Corner Where You Are," another, the most powerful of all, somewhere in the piano, entirely changed the tune. The p:anist, at the order of the acting president, picked it up and hurled it from the door with a mighty crash. Several janitors who heard the disturbance while at their posts on the campus, came to the res cue and with much effort succeeded in quieting the noisy. morning herald.
