USC STUDENTS WILL VOTE ON RING THURSDA Y A. Ml. Several New Designs Stubmitted For Consideration of All Classes RAI..OTING ON THURSDAY Committee Anxious To Get Sen timent Of Student Body On Matter Due to the dissat'sfaction shown 'n many toward the present university ring, a movement is on foot to replace it by a vewer and heavier design. For the change to ht constitutional, it is necessary that it be adopted by all fou classes now at the Univt"rs'ty. There fore a popular vote will !e held in the lobby of the chapel Thursday, Nov 15. The vote is to he held by ballot, and a simple majority will carry the change or defeat it. All classes, espe cially the freshman. are urged to vote on the measure. As yet no design has been adopted hut several have been submitted and these will be on isplay at the voting boo0th ThVrsdlay to give some idea as to how the new ring will look. The p)roposedl mlodel wvill be heavier and ir two sizes, onie of lighter weight for co-eds, and( a more massive ring for men. Both wvill have a garnet stone settinlg and( a suitab)le design on each s'de, as wvell as the year ai degree Fraternity or .corority letters may he carved onl the stone.

The Bap tists present a formidable aggregation and will come to Colimbia with a nice string of victories behind them, having fallen only to Chattanooga and Geor gia. Although the Gamecocks have threat er'ed year after year to reverse the Hor nets, Carolina hasn't won from the Bap tist institution since 1922. a period of five years. In that season, with stars like Waite, Belk and Joe Wheeler, Car olina's colors ran high when they upset the dope pail and swamped Furman 27-7. But, since then, the Purple and Whit team has made it five in a row, which doesn't look so pleasant to Carolina sup porters. Furman's team, thoagh not so strong as in other years, does not present any thing that resembles a weak 'aggrega tion. The strong Chattanooga team turned back the Baptists by a neat score; but, to offset this, the Hornets have defeated Davidson, P. C., Wake Forest, Wofford and Citadel. The Greenville institution also held the pow erful Georgia team to a lone touchdown. The only game in common between Carolina and Furman was the Citadel encounter. The Bulldogs held the Gamecocks to a 0-9 score, while Fur man amassed a total of 13 points against the lads from the "city by the sea.' Ilawever, comparative scores don't mean nuch these days, not since Maryland celehrated a bg day in the Yale Bowl last Saturday. Billy Laval, for the first time in the history of his football career, will direct a team iii opposition to his "once-fam ous" Purple Hurricane. Having coach ed at the Baptist :nstitution for 12 years (luring which time he turned out some wonderful teams, Coach I,aval will for get past experiences and occupy a seat on the opposite side of the field next Sat urday, when his Carolina Gamecock., trot out on the rectangi lar lot to line (Continuled to page eight) New Students Must Stand Physical Exam An inspection of 'records shows that many members of the freshman class and a number of first year students from other colleges have not reported to the infirmary for thei-r physical exami-. nation.
