STUDENT "DATES" $3.75
Special Dispatch to The World. i
Pittsburgh, Oct. 31.?Social amenities
of night activities indulged in by (
day college students has been esti- 1
mated in dollars and cents by a pro- t
grcssive young women at the Univer- <
sity of Pittsburgh.
Called by its commonplace name, ^
"having dates," Miss Sara Josselsen
has discovered that Pitt students have
found an average cost, and that each t
may figure on spending $3.75. In- (
eluding the "ritzy" affairs such as the \
Junior Prom, the student of journal- (
ism found that four out of five dates j
are "outs," the fifth being a home date, (
where car checks or long walks arc ,
the only expenditures. ;

THE JOHNSONIAN SEZ?
From the University of South Caro- '
lina comes news that would gladden '
the hearts of our teachers, especially j
our gym teachers. Perhaps the fol- '
lowing example of a Carolina Soph !
will "stun our stoic Sophs:"
LeRoy Want, a Sophomore and a
seemingly perfectly normal boy, has 1
never chewed gum. Believe it or not! !
Perhaps he believes he works his jaw
enough answering and asking ques- !
tions in class. However, he says this, 1
too, "Yes, I smoke sometimes, and if 1
I told you that I didn't drink you '
wouldn't believe me."
Mr. Want wishes to thank the Fea- 1
ture Editor of The Gamecock for this \
national publicity. 1

STEP-INS, PANTIES FOR
STYLISH MALES
Chicago, Sept.,- 22.?The shiek of
1930 will "outdo the peacock and the
rainbow."
In other words Solomon, in all his
glory, was never arrayed like man will
show next summer.
The authority for all this is Miss
Daisy Dugan, president of the artists'
models and mannequins, in discussing
plans for the advance show of
male attire to be held here next month.
The apparel for mere man during
next summer will be flimsier, and
flashier than ever dared by his flapper
sister. In fact his work-a-day garb
should be parked into his vest pocket
?if he wore a vest. But, the vest is
passe.
Silk shirts will be back. They will
be collarless and sleeveless and open
at the front to display the manly chest
and will flow in graceful lines outside
the trousers, rather "panties," because
Uje 1930 style outlaws the trousers.
3 And, the "panties" will be short?
inches above the knee in fact,
i- Shoes? Pumps? No, no! Man will
5ycar rolled socks and sandlcs.
^ Man's undcr-garmcnts will outstrip,
^pr out-skimp, the flapper. He will indulge
in combinations, step-ins, teddys
g^-all of the unmentionables which have
paused, him to envy woman for years ;
Jfcnd years.
His color ensemble will outdo that
^f woman for while fashion decrees ,
c/f>astel effects for the coming season for
^ivomen, the male will be decked out in
^he loudest color scheme that can be
-Revised.

QUAKER CAMPUS SAYS?
"We poor co-eds! (?) Do you have
the latest dope on the college graduate?
It's this, over 75 per cent of
the men marry as compared with
about 50 per cent of the women. The \
reason? I don't know, guess women
want to marry brains and men don't."
But just let the women talk and they
will cut their own throats when it
comes to proving who has the brains.
"What did John try to do last night?"
"He tried to neck me."
"What did he say when you said '
no?" 4 i
"April fool!"
"And then what?" i
"I s:\id April fool, too."

Elec. Engineering
Presen
A motion picture entitled "Driving
the Longest Railroad Tunnel in the
Western Hemisphere" was a feature
)f the program presented by the Dc>artment
of Electrical Engineering at
he meeting of the University of South
Carolina branch of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers, on
Wednesday, November 6, 1929.
This film, which was obtained
hrough the courtesy of E. I. duPont
le Nemours & Company of Wilming:on,
Delaware, shows in animated
Irawings as well as in real photographs
just how this seven and threequarter
mile tunnel has been driven
inder the Cascade Mountains in the
State of Washington for the Great
Northern Railway.
This tunnel was the result of a plan
ievised by the officials of the system
to cut down their operating costs by
doing away with miles of snowsheds
>n the route over the mountains and
?oing straight through instead of over
the mountains.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1925, the
final decision was made and 32 days
later saw actual operations begun by
the contractors, A. Guthrie & Co. of
St. Paul. The contract called for its
completion in 3 year's time, and this
lias been kept, as the first of January
1929 sees trains running through the
tunnel. This feat has been most remarkable
inasmuch as the six-mile
MofTatt tunnel in Colorado required
nearly five years to build,?although
it was about one and three-quarters
miles shorter and was not lined with
concrete.
In driving the tunnel, nearly 1,000,[)00
cubic yards of rock were blasted
out and removed from the bore and
250,000 cubic yards of concrete were
poured. Diagrams used in the film
show how the correct use of explosives
has been a great factor in the
driving operations. In fact, so successful
have been the contractors that
three times in as many months in
1926, the tunneling forces established
new world's records in tunnel advance
>nly to break them twice again in 1928.
On October 20, 1929, the day the
first continuous hole was opened
through the main bore, six and onehalf
miles had already been lined with
concrete, another mile had been en[arged
to full size, ready for concreting,
and five miles of electrical installation
had been completed.
This method of completing the sections
as the work progressed enabled
the cameraman to get pictures showing
all stages of construction.
The cost of the new tunnel, lined
from one portal to the other with
concrete, excellently ventilated and
electrically operated will 'be approximately
$14,000,000.
It was opened with elaborate ceremonies
on January 12, 1929?the actual
driving having been completed
within scheduled time. Participating
in these exercises were President
Hoover, Madame Schumann-Heink,
officials of the railroad and contracting
companies as well as Graham
Macnamee, who described the first
trip of a passenger train through the
tunnel. A nation-wide hook-up enabled
millions of radio listeners to be
present on this occasion.

CASE INSTALLED
AS SOCIETY HEAD
NEW EUPHRADIAN LEADER
New officers were installed by the
Euphradian Literary society at its last
meeting. Robert H. Atkinson, retiring
leader, surrendered the president's
chair to Lawrence Case of Inman,
newly elected president. Other
officers were installed after taking the
society's oath of allegiance to their
respective duties.
W. W. Taylor rendered a declamation
on the subject "The Small
Things Of Life Count." His declamation
was splendidly given and well
received. Nat Heyward, extemporaneous
speaker, had as his subject
"American Accomplishments and Possibilities
in the Air." Mr. Heyward
emphasized the importance of modern
air commerce and the strategic position
of air defence in modern warfare.
He traced briefly the history of the
airship from Orville Wright's creation
to our present day planes.
The negative side, composed of C.
K. Grimsley and M. H. Shepherd, won
the debate of the week, which was
"Resolved: that the direction of football
teams during games should be left
to the captains rather than the
coaches." There was considerable discussion
from the floor. The affirmative,
consisting of William Lowrancc
and Carl Brown, put up a good fight,
though arguing the admittedly weaker
side of the question.
Several committees were appointed
for the coming incumbency, and a
committee of freshmen was appointed
to get the hall in shape for the ball in
honor of the new officers.
Ed Rowan, Lewis Wallace, and M.
A. Goodstein were initiated into the
society, and Bill Donclan and John
Moroso were elected to membership.
ENGINEERS HOLD
WEEKLY MEETING
PROFESSOR BALL SPEAKS
The University of South Carolina
branch of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers held its meeting
for the month of November last Wednesday
afternoon in Sloan college. The
first part of the meeting was open to
all electrical students. At this time
Professor Ball gave an illustrated lecture
on "Radio Communication on
Railways." A motion picture was also
shown which depicted the Cascade
Tunnel.
After this was followed a closed
meeting for members only. At this
time the following men were voted
into the South Carolina branch: R. E.
Brooks, J. Newfeldt, C. H. Bryan, L.
E. Rankine and C. H. Wactor.
