Knightly Citadel Cadets Aid Fail

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

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.

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!
