Professor of B
Goes it
Is big game hunting allowed in Columbia?
Ask Dr. James Theophilus
?yij Penny.
This worthy professor of Biology at
the University was in the depths of
despair the other morning because he
needed specimens for his class in Histology.
His advertisements for white
rats had failed to bring results. His
idea of dissecting a few of his students
instead seemed hardly feasible.
As he paced the laboratory frantically
chewing his corn cob pipe, he
suddenly heard a familiar cry. Hopefully
opening the door, his delighted
eyes beheld four uncomfortable cats,
tightly clasped in the arms of two
students.
The cats had been obtained for the
purpose of diet cycle experiments but
like all students, these were glad to
please the professor by surrendering
one of their trophies. Dr. Penny joyfully
slaughtered the cat and proceeded
with his dissection.
His joy, however, was short lived and
the peace of the biology department
destroyed by a very angry chief of
police demanding cats. On investigation
it was discovered that the cats had
been obtained from an old negro
woman who by some stroke of fate
was in the employ of the local president
of the S. P. C. A. (Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)'.
The owner of the cats had told her
employer that she had given four cats
to some college boys for experiments,
that's where the trouble began. At the
word experiment the honorable president
must have had mental pictures of
cats hanging from the ceiling by their
lails.
Anyway the scientific usefulness of
those cats was at an end. They were
removed from the lab while Dr. Penny
said that never again would he use
another cat without a sworn affidavit
from 'the owner that said cat was thereby
deeded and presented to the University
for purposes of dissection.

GRADUATE WORK
HAS INCREASED
SMITH ISSUES FIGURES
Summer School Enrollment Composed
Largely of Teachers; 1930
Registration Exceeds 1929
"The demand for graduate work."
says Dr. Reed Smith, Dean of the
Graduate School, "is growing steadily.
It is becoming more and more important
in numerous fields and vocations.
This is particularly true of teachers.
During the summer school session,
more than half the students registered
in the graduate school were teachers."
The total number of students registered
in the Graduate school for the
first semester of 1930 shows a decided
increase over that for the first semester
of 1929. The figures are as follows:

HOUSE PARTY
AT INFIRMARY
The biggest house party of the month
was held at the University Infirmary
last weekend. Joe James missed most of
the fun by being dismissed Saturday.
Lucia Huggins, Suzanna Barnwell, Abbie
Ligon, Ruth Scott, Marion Boyleston,
Carl Brown, and "Happy" Edens were
in the midst of things.
J. W. Gaddy although he had already
been there five day9 couldn't resist the
temptation of staying just one day longer.
On Sunday Ruth Scott, Carl Brown, and
J. W. Gaddy decided that they had had
I enough and left without one word of
farewell. No serious injuries were sustained.

JOHN DISCOVE
Bud Fisher, in his cartoon "Mutt and
Jeff," has featured some events in the
lives of certain Honest Johns, but now
comes the local story of an Honest Ruth.
In the issue of The Gamecock for October
3, is found the following:
"Found?a bill of large -denomination.
Owner can get same by identifying it at
the Dean's office." >
The bill concerned is one for five dollars.
It was turned over to Dean Baker
by Miss Ruth Wilson, 1425 Victoria Avenue,
a first-year student of the University.
Miss Wilson found the bill on the
parking ground adjacent to Bull street
and immediately reported her find to the
office.
As upon proper advertising, no one
has called to claim the money, Dean
Baker will turn it over to the finder.

ORCHESTRA TO
GIVE PROGRAMS
DOCKETS NEW PROGRAMS
Symphony Orchestra Makes
Plans for Coming Programs
In November
C. ^
A new and larger progrj^m is planned
for the University Symphony Orchestra
for this season. Under Madame Felice
de Horvath, conductor, the orchestra
plans for four concerts this year instead
of the accustomed three. The first concert
will be on Thursday night, November
13, in the University Chapel.
A full program has been arranged for
the November concert. Peter Tschaikowsky's
fantastic "Nutcracker Suite" is
to be rendered as a whole for the first
time in Columbia. Miss Vera Treutel,
soprano soloist, will add variety to the
program with several vocal selections
from Tschaik >wsky's abundant store. A
trio, composed of Mrs. Wilmot Jennings,
Mrs. Frederick. Schiffley, and Mrs.
George Truluck, all of Orangeburg, will
render a trio arrangement of the remarkable
"Andante Cantabile" from the string
quartet.
The University Symphony Orchestra
is composed of well over fifty players
and puts on entertaining concerts of out-~
standing musical value. In the past the
concerts have had the support of both che
Juniof and Senior music clubs of Columbia
and the music lovers in general.
The public is invited to attend these
concerts. In according with the custom,
there will be no admission charge.

"I DUNNO"
I sometimes think I'd rather crow
And be a rooster/than to roost
And be a crow, but I dunno.
A rooster he can roost also,
Which don't seem fair when crows
can't crow.
Which may help some, still I dunno. *
Crows should be glad of one thing,
though;
Nobody thinks of eating crc^v,
While roosters they arc good enough
For anyone unless they're tough.
There are lots of tough old roosters,
though
And anyway a crow can't crow,
So inebby roosters stand more show. >
It looks that way, but I dunno.
