m co KOEDS'KRAZY KAR KUTS ALL KURVES Knightly Citadel Cadets Aid Fail Damsels And Stimulate Decrepit Ford 130 MILES IN 24 HOURS Flat Tires, Burnt-Out Bearings, Unsealed Vacuum Tank, And Defective Steering Gear The Carolina students came very near not getting to the Y. W. C. A.? Y. M. C. A. State wide retreat at Camp Adger near Pickens, last week and furthermore they had a worse time getting hack. "Freshman" Keaton, Jack Douglas, J. J. Brown, Edna Kirton, Fannie Haile Betts, and Ruth Brown were the representatives from the University and they really represented it in every town between here and Pickens. The delegation left Columbia about 7:30 Friday in an old automobile. They had not proceeded as far as Little Mountain when the car began to spread terror throughout the country side and to tile occupants of the car themselves. Yes, the car seemed to get the drunken staggers and every one ;hey met gave them the whole road and very blank stares. Speculations were being made as to whether the gasoline was three parts booze or not when the poor bus began to choke. They choked along until a car full of Citadel cadets passed which seemed to inspire the old car to make its best efforts until they reached a garage where a mechanic worked on the car and succeeded in unscrewing every screw in the machinery and killing almost an hour. That didn't help because they made non-scheduled stops every two minutes on the way to Fountain Inn. It was there that the Citadel cadets again made their appearance and helped the boys drain gas out of the tank and pour it in the vacuum tank. Finally they hit on the idea of pushing the wreck with their car to get it started, but the cadets gave up in despair and went on to town to send help. The help was so long in coming that the girls decided to "bum" their way into Fountain Inn. They had just gotten there when "chug," "chug" here came the boys in the car. All kinds of arrangements had to lie made in Fountain Inn for getting the car fixed and getting a U-Drive It to go the rest of the way. Once more the car was worked on so with renewed spirits they set out but as none of the group had dropped out the Jonah, who ever it was, was still with them and led them to get on the wrong road. Since the road was under construction they soon turned back. They had hardly turned around when the car gasped and died completely so live of them pushed it into town again. The girls in their dusty knickers and the boys looking like ridiculous tramps pushed the car down a block and a half of one (?) of Fountain Inn's Main streets. They got dinner there, or rather an excuse for dinner. Ruth Brown declares it to have been the world's worst and if there had been any cake that dinner would certainly have taken it. The girls picked out the home of Robert Quillen to use as a telephone booth. Learning that the bus was leaving for Greenville immediately they caught it at the corner and waved to the boys in passing to hang on. So they all went to Greenville and the girls coaxed a U-Drive It man into driving the bunch -> the camp or rather to the foot of the mountain on which the camp is located. An automobile can't make the grade on that mountain so one has to hike about two miles. The baggage wagon goes up at three o'clock but as it was about seven when they arrived each one had to shoulder his burdens in the form of suitcases, hat boxes, blankets, etc., and set out. Arriving in camp they found it com^ pletely deserted, the occupants having gone to a meeting elsewhere. Savagely they raided the kitchen and ate the camp out of provisions. The return trip beginning Sunday at 2::J0 though not so filled with thrills was almost as exciting. Now don't get the idea that this is exaggerated because many of the details have been left out, for instance, the peck of apples they bought on the way and which they passed to everybody who helped work on the car. The U-Drive It man from Greenville came for them and they made the trip that far without any trouble and there they stopped to see the circus parade. In Fountain Inn once more they took up their journey, in the first car which has been worked on during the week-end. Some of the ailments of the car were found to be an unsealed vacuum tank and the stearing gear e:ght inches out of line. On to Newberry nothing exciting except burnt out bearings and one or ?-ED NE\ CO ED ATHLETES MAKE A START MEET ON MONDAY Hockey Managers Elected; Plans For Year Discussed By Members The Woman's Athletic Association held its first meeting in Davis Monday afternoon. Edna Kirton, the new president, opened the meeting by a stirring appeal to the old girls, as well as to the freshmen, to show more interest in the class sports and above all "to pull for their teams if they could not push." The constitution was read for the benefit of new members and special attention was called to the amendment concerning assistant managers of the various sports. Since the manager and assistant manager of Hockey had not returned to school it was found necessary to elect people to fill these vacancies. Edith Rogers was elected Hockey manager and Honora Elkin her assistant. The class managers for Hockey were also elected. They are: Edna Wood, senior; Ruby Blackburn, junior; Millie Taylor, sophomore; Kate Tyler, freshman. Everybody seemed to be very much interested in the idea of awarding old English C's and numerals to the persons who had earned enough points. I he number of points to be governed by what we call the "Point Systerh." Indications arc that there will be a broader and more enthusiastic interest in athletics this year. The spirit of the freshmen deserves special mention and it behooves the upperclassmen to look to their laurels. U.8.C. Y. W. C. A.

DAMAS CLUB ELECTS MEMBERS Damas club held a meeting Tuesday evening and it was devoted entirely to voting on new members. The system of voting was changed and it was found to be much more satisfactory. Twenty names were passed upon. two flat tires. I'rom there they were towed into Columbia. Not more than 15 miles out of Newberry the slack of the tow chain caught in the radius rod and almost threw the car over into the ditch. Were they destined never to get back to Columbia? Probably not, because they did get back at two o'clock that night. Twenty-four hours on the road to go about 130 miles!
