Team In The Lead Only Half Of Students Yet Canvassed With_ about half of the students of the University having been canvassed and with some few faculty men yet to be seen the Y campaign for finances reports nearly $800 having been raised in the first two days of the campaign, with nearly $200 of this amount having been paid in cash. While this amount is about half of what the Y. hopes to raise for its program this year, it is $300 more than was raised in the whole campaign for last year. The O. D. K. team, captained by Frank Buie, leads in the student teams with a total of $177, although the teams from tenements 7, 9, 10 and 11 have not yet turned in their reports. The K. S. K., captained by Frank Taylor, has turned in $152 with tenement 3 team yet to be heard from, and incomplete reports from a number of the other teams. The Blue Key team, captained by Joe Hiott, has turned in $75 with less than half of their men having been canvassed. The town students have subscribed about $40 to the team captained by John Whit , and the fraternity men have subscribed about $30, although very few of them have been canvassed yet, owing to the fact that most of the fraternities will be canvassed in their meetings this week. The faculty team, captained by Professor Bradley, has turned in $171.50. Among the individual men, Professor Sumwalt leads in the total with $61.50. Coit Wilson leads among the students with $37. $110.50 has been turned in from miscellaneous places. The drive will continue this week, with an endeavor to reach all the students who have not yet been canvassed. The Y has planned a big program this year and needs around $1,700 to carry it out as planned. Tenement 22 has reported that a pledge has been secured from every man in the tenement. Ten, 17 and 19 have reporteu pledges from every student except one in each case. The response from the students has been splendid to date, and the Y hopes to complete its drive this week. BIBLE SPEAKER ADVISES YOUTH SPEAKS IN CHAPEL FRIDAY r Miss Daisy Davies Tells Students To Find Definite Purpose Miss Daisy Davies, a member of the Missionary Council of the Southern Methodist Church, gave a very interesting talk to the students in chapel Friday morning. The subject of Miss Davies' talk was, "What the Modern Youth are Going to Do With Their Lives." She said that they may break them, wreck them, or make them. She says, "The main trouble is that the youth of today do not have strong characters." "F,veryone is following the damnable motto: everyone is doing it so let's go."

D. Rodgers, B. B. Killingsworth, W. Geddings, W. K. Keyserling, y L. G. McNairy, C. E. Johnson, I. ii Bogoslow, and Henry Foster were i1 initiated into the Euphradian Literary 11 society at its last meeting, held on g October 15th. These men are among ( a large number of students who have t joined the society since the opening ^ of school. Y The main event of the program was an interesting debate on the query: g Resolved, that life imprisonment, with f a restricted power of pardon by the ' governor, is preferable to capitol punishment." The affirmative was sue- h cessfully upheld by J. Mitchell Morse 1 and William Douglas while the nega- f tive was represented by Wison O. f Weldon and J. J. Brown. The literary critic remarked about the unusual excellence of the four speakers, but the n affirmative probably gained the decision through superior arguments in the rebuttal. The discussion from the house concerning the query was particularly long and informative. C. K. Grimsley, as the weekly orator, took as his subject "Industrial conditions in the Carolinas." He dealt entertainingly with the whole economical situation. Griffith Pugh rendered the current events. Lawrence Case, as extemporaneous speaker, talked on "Football in the Southern Conference." The society will hold its election of j officers for the next term on next Tuesday night, Oct. 29. All members v are urged to be present. , U.H.C. ^ COTILLION CLUB > HOLDS MEETING FIRST DANCE?OCTOBER 2B ( Bill McCuen Elected President !

ISSIC 7AIR STADIUM MUCH ENLARGED ILL STUDENT TICKETS SOLD Classes To Be Discontinued Two Days; Oheerios Tuned Up The Clemson Game is almost upon is. The campus emits a conglomeraion of ideas and predictions as to the utcome of the great South Carolina lassie. Talk of odds and betting prelominate the stately portals of the niversity. Never have the students if the University of South Carolina Doked forward with greater zeal to he conquest of the Tiger. I seems that the climax of the fall s here. Last week numerous stickers were distributed bearing the legend: Gamecocks, Beat Clemson." The najority of the Freshman class as well ,s League and Boudreaux have appeared on the campus with "Beat Clemson" signs strung from their iccks. Fair Week is, probably, the greatst event of the year. Classes will be djourned from Wednesday at 5:00 ('clock until Saturday at 8 o'clock. A [ala week is expected. The Fair is an institution of ancient tanding in South Carolina. It probably draws together a greater crowd >f people than any other event in the State. The Capital 'City j>lays host o men and women from every nook nd corner of South Carolina. The Fair is a glamerous hodgeiodge of dazzling spectacles and overwhelming wonders, the like of which s seldom seen in the State. Besides ts exhibitions of State progress the nost attractive feature is the mamnouth midway. The activities of the tudents and young people at the Fair grounds is, mostly, centered around his institution. It is an enjoyable ascination, surpassing even the circus which has so recently disembarked rom our midst. Of course the event which holds the jreatest interest for the week is the ootball game between the Clemson tigers and the Carolina Gamecocks which will begin at high noon Thtirslay, October 24. This ancient rivalry las existed for some thirty-odd years, during this period a game has been >layed every year, except for a period >f six years from 1902 to 1008.

PEPPY MEETING HELD IN CHAPEL NEW YELLS ARE TAUGHT Students Urged To Attend Meetings Preliminary To Clemson Game A very enthusiastic and peppy pep neeting was held in chapel Wedneslay evening. The chapel was packed vith both male and female students. Cheerleader League taught the stulents several new yells to be used ' gainst Clemson. Time and time gain the walls of the historic old bapel echoed and re-echoed with nighty shouts for victory. A number of pep meetings will be icld this week preliminary to the Jemson-Carolina game. All upper lassmen are requested and all freshnen are required to attend these meetngs. The Gamecock wishes to urge all Carolina Students to remain in their seats Thursday until the game is over. In times past students have often left their seats before the game was entirely over?when it appeared that Carolina was losing. This is a sign of lack of support, and gives the school a bad name and reputation. Stay there until the last whistle blows, whether we are winning or losing.
