This fair i an annual affair and holds much o the interest of the students at th University. It is recognized as ai outstanding athletic and social even in the fall season. Classes at the University will b adjourned from Wednesday at fiv< o'clock until Friday at eight o'clock As a general rule the student bod: descends upon Orangeburg and take: the town for the day. Of course, i need not be stated that the principa event for the day, Thursday, Oct. 31 is the football game between the Caro lina Gamecocks and the Citadel Bull dogs. This crowning athletic event also, covers a great deal of the in terest of the entire week. The Orangeburg Fair is, if possible more popular to the student bod] than its predecessor the State Fair due to the hospitable treatment re ceived by the University students The student activities book which h purchased by every student at thi advent of the semester permits oni to enter the fair grounds, see th< football game and to partake of ; sumptuous repast after the gam< without any extra charge. Besides the football game, there ar< many exhibits and displays whicl hold much interest. The fair officially opens Tuesday morning when all ex hibits will be open to the public Farm and vegetable products, house hold goods, flowers and sundry thing! arc being prepared on the farm foi exhibition. The football game between th< Citadel and Carolina is an athletic event of ancient standing. The gam< has been played every year since 190.r> excluding the years 1906 and 1915 Of the twenty-two games played thuj far Carolina has won fifteen while th< Citadel has managed to achieve vie tory in only four. Three times th< Cadets have fought the Gamecocks t< a deadlock. The Citadel has a mucl touted team this year and expects tc put up a hard fight. The Gamecockj having been so heart breakingly handled at the hands of the Cleinson Tigers last week will probably b< steamed up for a hard fight themselves. At any event the twelve thousand spectators who are expected tc witness the game will be treated tc quite a thrilling contest. . Socially, the holiday should be s tip-top success. Three dances art scheduled. The first dance will take place the night before the game, the second the afternoon succeeding the game, and the third the night after the game. Music for these dances will be furnished by Bee Spann and His University of South Carolina Gamecock Orchestra.

John Bolt Culbertson is circulation manager. Due to the fact that The State Company, publishers of THE GAMECOCK since last April, are publishing THE CAROLINIAN for the first time, work is necessarily slower than will be the case in the future.

BOYCE NORRIS HEADS SOCIETY CLARIOSOPHIC ELECTS J. W. Brown, G. A. Preacher And W. R. Taylor Elected To Board Of Pardons Elected on the first ballot by a large majority E. Boyce Norris of Calhoun Falls will take office next week as president of the Clariosophic Literary socicty. When the votes were counted, Norris appeared winner by 51 to the 26 ballots of his opponent, Frank Bouie. The president-elect is a member of the senior academic class, taking his major work in English. He has won numerous debates and declamations on this campus and in competition with other universities, and held office as critic of his society up to the time of his election to the presidency. Blue Key, honorary leadership fraternity names him a member, and he belongs to Eta Sigma Phi, languages fraternity. Norris succeeds W. W. Jones, now president. Other officers were chosen to serve during the coming term, second of the triennial terms. Their incumbency lasts three months. C. Lawson Scott, business manager of THE GAMECOCK, won out over Jack Hair in the vice-presidcntial race by a count of 41 to 35 votes. The new vice-president is a senior, and has been prominent in society activities. For critic, E. L. Farmer won decisively over J. B. Fishburne. A second race was necessary to settle the election for secretary. J. J. Mack finished first with 36 votes to the 31 of Yates Snowdcn Williams after Harry Hamlett had been eliminated on the first balloting. John B. Culbertson was nominated for secretary, but declined. Political tension never very high 1 considering the importance of the elec- ' tion, ran to zero by this time. The < spirit of conflict having died, W. C. ' Herbert was chosen treasurer by ac- i climation of the society. A. M. Anderson found himself recorder by | the same unanimous process. I Voting came back into vogue when I nominations for the post of sergeant- 1 at-arms were opened. Sam Taylor . finally got into office over B. M. Havird. Monitors elected were T. C. Hankins, younger brother of two notable Clariosophics, and B. Worthy. Bruce R. "Red" Davis and G. A. Preacher refused to run for the office after being nominated.

This paper has aroused national interest. Dr. Tabor presented part of this paper before the New York meeting of the Geological Society of America last December. The paper describes a laboratory investigation of problems connected with frost heaving, the principles developed having application fn geology, plant physiology, and engineering. Dr. Tabor began his experiments in 1014, the results indicating that the pressure effects accompanying freezing were due to the growth of ice crystals and that excessive heaving is to be explained by the segregation of water a3 it freezes. This phenomena has caused much damage to hard-surface roads in sections of the country where the temperature is inclined to ' be low. Due to lack of facilities Prof. Tabor < was compelled to discontinue his ex- 1 periments, but in 1927 he was pre- J scnted with a Frigidaire unit for ' maintaining low temperatures by ' E. W. Allen of the Frigidaire Corpora- ( tion. He has carried the work on ? (Continued on Page 5) < u.s.c. t FORMER STUDENT ! ADDRESSES "Y" { c McSWEEN SAYS PLAY SAFE [ Presbyterian College President i Tells Hearers To Allow Them- a selves Big Margin ? a John McSween, president of the a Presbyterian College of South Caro- s Una, spoke before the Y. M. C. A. at n its regular Sunday night service. Dr. McSween was formerly student-pastor f; at Clemson and also a student at the c University for two years. According fi to himself, while here he took base- p ball, public speaking and the campus s courses and had never been in the c Chapel before the night of his speech, h Dr. McSween took as his subject p the matter of "playing safe." Using t1 as his text "Whosoever smitith thee on the one check, turn to him the ic other also," Dr. McSween said that si Christ did not mean for us to take k this literally, but meant it as a means y of giving men a wonderful principal d by which to live. That principal is b one of playing safe, of always leav- w ing a big margin between ourselves g and the wrong. lc The speaker emphasized that the tl principals of the Bible, besides being si those which all Christians should live ci by, are those that are conducive to tl the most happiness in life. ai Contacts With Formed 1 ? Addressing an audience at Harvard ^ ast summer, an official of the Ameri;an National Red Cross observed that n< nuititudinous forces were striving con- It inuously to penetrate the surround- C ng walls of the country's educational system, to impress it in some way, nfluence its trends, or utilize it other- ^ vise. m The fact that these well springs of ;s :ducation are so guarded makes it OI specially significant that the Ameri- q an Red Cross is accepted at increas- cc ngly numerous points of contact be- fJl ween its services and those of educa- qt ional bodies and institutions through- to iut the nation. oi This association of the Red Cross ? yith the nation's educational programs INA GAME WN IN HISTORY COLOR FEATURES ANNUAL CLASSIC MANY NOTABLES PRESENT Cheering Sections And Sidelights Connected With Game Draw Much Interest The song is over, hut the melody lingers on. And so the CarolinaClemson game is a thing of the past, but it will he many moons before the game is forgotten by the thousands of cheering fans that were present. Even though the staticians have done their deadly work of proving that Clemson made many more first downs than the Gamecocks, the University supporters have not forgotten that the daring runs of Boineau, Rhame, et cetera, made the cadets bite their lips ih fright and came within an ace of tieing or winning the game. However, the Gamecocks entered the arena, the underdog by several touchdowns and left it only after disproving the belief (held by only a few) that a Carolina team doesn't fight when losing. To Captain J. Beall and Company goes the honor of having held one of the best teams in the south to a lone touchdown victory. The annual classic drew even more :olor and interesting sights than ever before. The usual ceremony of the governor swapping sides between the lalves was observed and a picture was iaken of Governor Richards, Presilents Douglas and Sikes, of Carolina uid Clemson respectively, and D. D. Witcovcr, president of the fair association, as they met in mid-field. As his meeting took place just after Carolina players had made; two runs >f over fifty yards each, one resulting n a touchdown, it is hardly possible hat the president of the University )f South Carolina had an unpleasant :onversation with the president of Clemson College. The bands of the two institutions >erformed with their usual standards if excellence. The entire stands stood ,t the beautiful renditions of the Alma Waters. The silent drill of a picked Clemson platoon was enlivened by the ppearance of a civilian, apparently in nything but a sober state, who inisted in going through the movenents with the cadets. The co-ed cheering section, long amous as one of the first in the ountry, was present in full force, arming, in the opinions of many, the rettiest feature of the game. In now white dresses, they probably aused many a Clemson boy to regret is choice of schools when they araded by the cadet corps between ie haives. Cheerleader League had his Cheer>s working to perfection and a contain hubbub of yells and chatter was ept up throughout the game. The elling was heard even at the most iscouraging times and the Clemson oys, in the game and otherwise, only on their rights to the remains of the oal posts after the conclusion of a >ng and almost successful fight on ie parts of the Gamecocks and their ipporters. A team that won't be beat in't be beat and the 1929 edition of ?e Roosters made their predecessors id supporters proud of them.
