PHARMACY MEN
I HELP INFIRMARY
Pharmacy Students Will Assist J1
In Filling Prescriptions At ?
University Infirmary 1
Due to the increase of students in
the School of Pharmacy and the neces- a
sity of practice and experience in fill- )
ing prescriptions; authorities have de- *
cided to have certain hours at the v
infirmary during which they will be c
able to gain actual experience. 3
Every day, except Sundays, from
10 to 12 the pharmacy students will f
be at the infirmary. They will be \
there to fill all prescriptions prescribed
by Dr. Heyward. The thing for
every student to do is to cooperate
with them by going to the infirmary 1
between the hours of 10 to 11, doc- f
tor's hours, and 11 to 12, for treat- 1
ments. Strother, professor of *
pharmacy, will be there to supervise c
all prescriptions and treatments and j!
to see that no mistakes are made.
Mrs. Madden will be in the office c
from 7 to 8 in the evening to care
for those students who find it im- 8
possible to go for treatment in the 3
mornings. Of course these hours do c
not apply to emergencies; these will r
be given the best attention at all v
times.
All students are asked to do all they *
can to cooperate with Mrs. Madden !
and the Pharmacy department in on- [
forcing these hours.

SOCIETIES HEAR
COMMITTEE ON
STUDENT FUNDS
IN JOINT SESSION
'oster, Olson, And Early Speak
For Faculty. Hotly Opposed
By Students (
As the outcome of a joint meeting
f the Clariosophic and Euphradian
terary societies, two committees have
ecn appointed to confer with the
tudent Activities committee of the (
iculty to decide the fate of literary 1
aciety and other appropriations. Dr.
lalph K. Foster, director of student
ctivities, Dean George E. Olscn, and
arney Early attended the joint meetig
and addressed the society memers
last Tuesday night.
Members of the committees as apointed
are Harry DePass, chairman,
B. "Blood" Hildebrand, and C. K.
irimsley for the Euphradian society;
shley Halsey, chairman, A. C. Clemiit
and Bannie Stewart as representaves
of the Clariosophic society. The
,vo committees called at Dr. Foster's
ffice Thursday morning, and decided
> place the treasurer's books of the
.vo societies open to inspection by
>r. Foster and Dean Olsen in order
lat they may do away with unnecesiry
expenditures.
At the meeting Tuesday night Dr.
oster told the societies that the ath:tic
association was badly in need of ,
mds and that it received only three
ollars of each ten paid in for student
ctivities. Dean Olscn talked on excuses
of the societies and of The
Carolinian. He said that the publica011
received $1,400 last year, that only
ve issues were published, and no
loncy was left over.
It was then brought out that the
and, under Dean Olscn's manage*
lent, received 37 cents of each ten
ollar fee, whereas the literary socieies
were allotted only 20 cents of
ach fee. Dean Olsen defended this
ondition by explaining that the entire
urn was spent for instruments, music
nd uniforms for the band.
Speaking on behalf of the societies,
I. H. "Punk" Atkinson, Euphradian
resident; John Bolt Culbertson, A. C.
Clement, George Meetze and Robert
parks pointed out deficiencies, real
r seeming, in the disbursement last
ear. They declared the appropriaions
cut to the last nickel, and said
hat further reduction would amount
0 elimination.
Final action will not be taken by
lie Student Activities committee until
fter the Clemson game, October 24.

The following officers were elected:
Uice Prioleau, president; Jack Oulla,
reasurer, and Susan Guignard, secreary.
The club plans to hold separate
neetings.
CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM?
Carolina is lagging behind
other schools and colleges in
one respect, that is that we do
not have a cross-country team.
This is fast becoming one of the
interesting sports of the fall, and
there is no reason why a team
could not be supported here.
There is no lack of material for
there are many boys who would.
take part in such a sport. Carolina
needs a team; the students
want it; so, why not a crosscountry
team this fall? Attention
Athletic Association!
Due to the courtesy of the
State Company, several hundred
"Beat Clemsort" stickers
have been printed for the use of
Carolina students. These can
foe secured from the Gamecock
office on Thursday morning
from 10 to 12, or from Wilson
Weldon.
GrERMAN CLUB HAS

WILLIAM BARBOUR PRES.
Social Club Votes To Retain Dues
System. Makes Plans For
This Year {
The German Club held its regular
meeting Wednesday, October 9, in the
Clark Law building, the chapel being
used for a student body meeting.
James Verner presided and held the
election of new officers for this term.
William Barbour was elected president,
James Cathcart, vice-president,
"Stumpy" McLeod, secretary, Blood
Hildehrand, treasurer. Spec Coker,
senior leader and David Verner, junior
leader.
Charles Burns, retiring treasurer,
gave a very favorable report on finances.
As a result, probably, the new
system of dues introduced last year
was retained unanimously.
LABORATORY FIRE
DOES NO DAMAGE
Fire Engines Speed To Highway
Laboratory Behind Legare
College
In reply to a general alarm, four fire
engines of the Columbia fire department
dashed down Sumter street to
the campus one afternoon last week.
Students hearing the warning sirens
hurried after the engines, and older
men recalled the blaze in Davis college,
when Dr. Yates Snowden's historic
books were endangered. The
cause of the rush call proved to be a
small blaze in the state highway
laboratory behind Legare college.
The laboratory was closed after
working hours when the negro janitor
smelted smoke, saw fire, and turned in
the general alarm. A large hood, or
oven-like cover beneath which chemical
work is conducted, proved the center
of the flame. It was found that a
single Bunsen burner had been left
lit, and had ignited the woodwork
under the hood. The janitor threw
water on the fire, but naturally did
not extinguish the gas flame of the
burner.
Firemen used a large extinguisher
on the flickering fire and quelled it
without difficulty. A spot the size of
a hat was burned in the woodwork.
This marks the first visit of the year
by the city fire ngines, which usually
rumble down to the campus during the
course of the winter. Bonfires used
to be the source of alarms, the students
kindling them after winning
football games and then calling the
engines out to smother the blaze.

TO STUDENTS
Reception At Field House Is Big
Success. Gamecocks Furnish
Plenty Of Music
The annual reception for the freshmen
of the University, Columbia and
Chicora colleges, was given by the Y.
M* a* *'ie fichl house, Friday
night. This year, however, a new
custom was instituted by which all
students of the three institutions were
invited. A new feature of the annual
event was the hour's music furnished
by Robert W. ("Buster") Spann and
his Carolina Gamecocks.
Authorities of the "Y." are well
satisfied that this reception was the
best given in recent years. Over one
hundred and fifty Chicora and Columbia
girls were present, and these
added to the Carolina men and coeds,
would probably bring the total
attendance figure to approximately
four hundred and fifty.
Several members of the faculties of
the University, Columbia, and Chicora,
were present as chapcrones.

NOVEMBER 9TH IS
HOME-COMING DAY
Old Grads Will Come Back Home
To See Gamecocks Fight
Tar-Heelians
Home coming day will be observed
this year on November 9, at which
time the members of the alumni association
will be entertained at the
North Carolina game. The first home
coming game was won year before
last from North Carolina by the score
of 14 to 7, the second was won last
year over Furman by the score of 6
to 0, so it is the hope of all that the
performance will be repeated again
this year as successfully as it has been
in the past.
The alumni association holds two
meetings a year. The first meeting
of the year is held on homecoming
day at which time only matters of
business are brought up while in the
second meeting, which is held in June,
business and social matters are attended
to by the association.
George Bell Timmerinan, president
of the association, announces that the
homecoming meeting will be held on
the campus this year, the exact place
to be announced later.
According to Barney A. Earley,
alumni secretary, over two thousand
former students are expected to be
present at this meeting.
U.H.C.
CONVERSE GIRLS
RUSH INSTRUCTOR
Four letters in one day are enough
to satisfy the most ardent of men,
even when they do not embody affectionate
expressions from four beautiful
young women, but rare is the
man whose worth brings him such
epistles. One Carolina student has
been vouchsafed a quartet of love letters
in one day, however, and is not
yet satisfied.
The lucky man is Alphonse DesChamps,
instructor in French, and the
four letters came from Converse college,
Spartanburg home for handsome
women. There is cause for Mr. DesChamps
lack of contentment, though.
The four love letters were written by
four freshmen at Converse, and they
"took their pens in hand" under compulsion.
Hence the absence of the
perfect heart balm.
