Campus Imp Madk Dw . Ever since school adjourned last June ' for the summer vacation,' the campus improvement force, under the direction of Prof. E. C. Coker, has been making many needed Improvements and additions to the Carolina campus, Water fountains connected to a Frigidsire have been placed in Davis and I<eConte Colleges and other, fountains hav^ been scatter^ over the campus at convenient spots. Another much-needed improvement is the laying of cement paving blocks on the walks. Paved driveways up to the wall from Green, Sumter and Pendleton streets have added much to the convenience of persons who bring their cars into the campus. The city of Columbia had placed paved sidewalks on Sumter 9treet at the mess hall and the field house. The canteen has been enlarged and renovated and the post office moved across the hall with an ad led increase of boxes for the students. The campus bookstore has been fixed up adjoining the. canteen and is entirely under University control this year. Several old tumble-down v frame garages have been removed and two new slate-roof stucco garages have been built behind professors' residences on the south side of the campus. Also, two new tennis courts have been provided on the women's campus next to University place. In preparation for the coming of fall and winter, winter lawn grass has been sown upon the campus so it is possible to expert a campus this winter as beautiful as the one last year which attracted many favorable comments. Additional quarters have been provided for the class in psychology in the basement of Davis college, and two new fire escapes have been added to LeConte college. A new bathroom for those who have contagious diseases has been placed in the infirmary. Last but not least, is the fact that an automatic stoker has been put under the boiler in the heating plant and students may count on plenty of warmth this coming winter, even though it is done with a robot. UNIVERSITY MEN PLAY BIG PARTS IN STATE RACES (Continued from pane One) House by only a few votes, receiving, however, the largest number of votes from the city of Florence than did any other candidate. His fellow schoolmate, Hugh Willcox, lost out in the first primary. E. K. Pritchard, prominent in the law classVof 1930, was runner-up to Russell McGowan, also a local alumnus, \for the solicitorship of the district, comprising Charleston eounty. In the same county, J. C. Long, who was captain of Carolina's football team several years ago, was successful in the race for the State Senate. W. Romulus Reese, remembered by many as t??e political firebrand of the. University two years ago, was the publicity manager of Ashton H. Willianps in his candidacy for the governorship. W. W. Jones was in the race for the House from Horry county, but lost out in the first primary. He graduated in the class of\J920. 7 i- , i mm I I v.

A typical incident was enacted this week vhen' a young freshman was tM bragging to his co-ed friend about the St rushing he is receiving. w "You know," he said, <Tve been out fa to supper and dinner almost every day 0< since I signed up. These frat men certainly do treat 'me swell." R Who are the boys rushing you?" ta asked the interested co-ed. " q "I declare I don't know. You see,-it's t0 this way: a different boy takes me out rj almost every time and I can't keep th-m r / straight." ^ g, Do they all belong to a different fra- P ternity?" ? "Well, I really don't know. I can't re- C member all the Greek names, they're certainly 'Greek to me'," the bewildered, D freshman answered. " girI was sti" curious and asked, Well, what fraternity do you think they ! are?" o< Vit ?( "I think they belong to the best frat on n the campus; in fact, it's the best any- u. where. They are members of Phi Beta r Kappa." 1 BOOK STORE IN ? NEW QUARTERS % Located in Tenement Four lii ta Rear of Telephone Exchange F In tenement 4 back of the telephone exchange, the University Book Store, !I successor to the Campus Book Store, oc- f cupics its new well-equipped quarters. ^ The book store together with the jr Gamecock pressing Club and the Uni- fi versity Co-operative Store are now v owned and operated by the University under the direction of Mr. Burnett Soney, the profits going to the Student Activity sc Fund. Fred Graham, assisted by Ellison r Cone and Roy McDavid, handle the pur- ?) chasing and dispensing of the booksf All sc of these are students at the University. 0] During the past summer the room was jr remodeled and equipped for its present q use. Well made shelves were installed to tj, handle the stock and three windows equipped for sales. The woodwork was finished with brown stain and the walls S in cream. This forms quite an attractive \ as well as serviceable interior. ^ S' The University B^>ok Stoje has a com* r plete stock of textbooks and is able to ^ supply the student's book-wants with ef- p ficient "service. v o S\ u. 8. c. sc According to Dr. Wauchope, the oi ancient game of chess is gaining P* rapidly on the campus. Among his converts, he numbers such figures as Broughton, Revelise, Foster, Bass and others. Plans for formation of a chess- j club are well past the nebulous stage. ^ tl Old Golds, the coughless wonders, are losing in/ favor. Three perennial fag-lifters have been detected in the act of refusing them. A survey of the si campus indicates Luckies in greatest ta demand with Chesterfields and Camels in close seconds. Like sweethearts, the old ir ones stick longest. fa he End of a Perfect Dat WCRC JUST :rv on own? \ I'M JUST S> , DRrSSTD .

Spindles in South Carolina show ti activity^far below* the figure of st year, states the Columbia Record, ontrasted with a figure of 97% for lis month last year, only 64% are in peration. A great improvement at the Univerty is the new corisolidated store. The ibles are a startling and comfortable inovation, and the increased acreage lakes for less jostling and more ictory service. Such is commendable. / r -s* 4 Big gamr ^ 1 iii'1^1 w iii?i -i -jui# Professor Smith of Wager; R _ = The popular song of a few years ago, 1 Jack in our Mhd-Pie Days," was relied by the settling of a wager made :tween two local professors. Professors J. E. Copenhaver and L. L. mith, returning from Charlotte to Combia during the past week, repeated a c :t which they had made for several ^ ars past. ri Professor Copenhaver agreed to fill his ti >ckets with artificial mud made by a rofessor Smith if it did not raiii be- t| re reaching Columbia, while if it did , V in, the latter was to fill his pockets ith the real article. * It seemed that the luck was with Pro:ssor Smith, for the skies were cloud- I ss on their leaving Charlotte. However, a hile he was sleeping pleasantly, undis- . irbed by thoughts of rain, a heavy >wnpour began. He slept on; Professor * openhaver smiled in anticipation. At one o'clock in the morning, stopped 1 the' outskirts of Columbia, Professor j' mith awoke, only to realize that he had 11 st the wager. So he left the car, filled S s pocket with red mud, and returned to r is seat crestfallen but hopeful for the ' itilre. . c Better luck next year, Professor Smith.

Captain Tommy Collins, Marion iolman, first ranking player last year, nd Elliott Crum, who has yet to taste efoat in an intercollegiate match, are 11 back to build a bigger and better ennis quint for the University. Jack Oulla, captain of the Birds ast year, is not available for use durng the coming campaign but is ex>e<?ted to lend an important hand in ounding out a winning group. Oulla las played his three years in inter:ollegiate tennis. Oscar Allen, the >ther member whose place it will be lecessary to fill, did not return to ichool this year. To offset these absences, however, Coach Crawford will have some ex:ellent material out for the team from vhich to fill the two vacancies. Doug Cunningham, who made a good showng last year but withdrew from school jefore given a chance to shotf his nettle in, play, will be available. Others >ut who ar4 expected to put in a strong acquet for the first team are Chick Foster, member of the 1928 squad, Dave Ellison, former Columbia High School player who teamed up with IVilmer Hines at the outset of the a tter's career, Bill Cantey, Jimmy EJrailsford, J. B. McCord and Bobby ECillingsworth. Just to show that the freshmen laven't been overlooked, Hink Goodng of Columbia High, Edman of Drangeburg, and Cohen of Spartan>urg wouldn't be at all a bad looking itart toward a freshmen team. Coach Crawford will be ably assisted n the forming of the Bird tennis team >y Dr. Reed Smith, Jack Oulld, and Toe Roddy. U. S.

Webb, pastor of the First Baptist Church, will speak at the "Y" meeting in Chapel at its regular Sunday meeting, according to an announcement by R. G. Bell. Dr. Webb has taken an active interest in work among the students and is a well-known pastor. A quartet from the same church, under the direction of M. Berry Seay, will sing at this meeting. ? Mr. Kershaw Walsh, instructor in psychology, announces the completion of his laboratory in the basement of Davis. A long-felt want at the University is at last answered. Psychology is properly a true science, and should be shown as much c&re in equipment as chemistry or biology. ' Diamonds ? Watches Jewelry ? Silverware Established over 45 Years P. H.
