JJU. ..'JLUL-UIJiailW?w?wniwiw Exchange Comments ! ! The Criterion expresses the following about.Tint-GXKecock; "News! News! News I This year The (>amecocic has been more, successful than in former years in containing r*al 'newsy' articles. The editorial 'For' Everyone' is truly good and expresses? the sentiments of other newspaper and magazine staffs." The Gamecock wishes to thank The Criterion for this praise and will continue to do its best to make it duly merited. > 1 Due to differences between the coach of the football team and the Athletic Council of Wake Forest College, the head coach was not allowed, under certain conditions, to accompany his team to Philadelphia recently. As soon as the student body got news of this, there was much talk and discussion. By the next morning contributions amounting to one hundred and five dollars from some two hundred students had been collected and a special aeroplane was chartered to take the coach to his team. This expression by the students of Wake Forest shows their real college spirit. The Gamecock feels sure that Carolina students would, if necessary, show just as much college spirit. According to The Bulldog, the Citadel is. going to have a new administrative and class building. Bids arc now being called for this building, which is to be five stories high, connecting two existing buildings, on the Citadel campus, which will serve as wings. > We are glad to see that at least one of the State supported institutions is able to find the money to erect a much needed building on its campus. Carolina, like the Citadel, needs an administrative building and it is hoped that after the new Educational building is completed plans will be made for the construction of a building to house the University Administrative departments and the student publications. Students of the University of Alabama becamc so enthusiastic over the Tennessee game that they almost destroyed their reputation of being dignified college men by breaking windows and crashing picture shows in Tuscaloosa. Fire hoses dampened their clothing and ardor, and now they arc all sorry. Girls prefer living in dormitories rather than sorority houses at Indiana. Candidates for political offices in Hawaii put ads in the college paper because there is no other publication handy in the cities. They have a peculiar system at Rochester, according to a recent editorial in The Campus about it. Sophomores, can steal the freshman's caps and make them buy the headgear back. .All the freshman is able to do is to stand off and be deprived and then repurchase his hat. Maryland has a student dog-catcher with a Ford truck, a net and all other necessary implements. FRESHMAN Y. INCREASES ITS MEMBERSHIP The Freshman Y. Council, under the leadership of Vernon Spears, has passed the fiftieth member mark and now a drive is on for more new men. This is a new record for Freshman Councils and much is expected of the fellows in carrying on the work of the Y. M. C. A. at the University. It is interesting to know that the members have complete charge of their programs and are taking active part in all the council's work. u. s. c. Customer: "Will these shoes wear long?"

Seniors Urged To Make Applicav tions ^or Degrees; Weldon Applies First The first senior to file an application j for a degree to be awarded next June ] was Wilson Weldon, president of the ( senior class, according to Registrar Chase. Applications began last Saturday, and up to date very few have made applications' for their degrees. All seniors must file their applications , on or before December first, or else be required to pay a late fee of two ($2.00) dollars. Application blanks can be secured at the Registrar's office. The diploma fee of four ($4.00) dollars must be paid at the Treasurer's office, and receipt presented at the Registrar's office ] when application is made. It is very important that these appli- 1 cations Ik made at once, and all seniors ( are urged to look after this matter. I U. S. C. , FINLAY SINGS OYER ; STATION W-A-L-L The Glee Club of the University is ' overlooking an excellent singer. Kirk Finlay Ircndcred the Sewanee alma mater in a resonant baritone Wednesday before ' a large and appreciative audience which ' had gathered at the wall to watch the ' ignominious degradation of the initiates < of the German Club. 1 Mr. Finlay consented to sing at the urgent pleadings of Messrs. William Triar and Buster Matthews. He sang i with great feeling and many interpretive 1 gestures. As Mr. Matteson was not present and Mr. Finlay is of so retiring and modest a nature, it is doubtful if the Glee Club will profit by his presence. . i u. s. c. "THE GUARDSMAN" TO BE PRODUCED "The Guardsman" by Molnar will be j the next play to be produced by tht Palmetto Players. It will be presented on the local stage for the first time, in late November. This play is noted as being one of the 1 best produced by the New York Theatre Guild. It is a comedy and has a large musical accompaniment. The play has received much favorable criticism from metropolitan newspapers. 1 The New York Tribune says: "The ' Guardsman is a delicate sophisticated ' comedy, fit for observation by the smarter type of drama lovers." The leading players have not yet been ' selected. This will take a few days, due ! to the fact that both leads require people 1 possessing talent along several lines. The players have also definitely de- J cided to produce "Twelve Nights in a Barroom," and Shakespeare's "Twelfth ' Night." . 1 i u. s. c. LOCAL SOPHOMORE IN AUTO ACCIDENT I Paul Martin, Sophomore, suffered an injury to his shoulder and a slight scalp wound from an automobile accident while on a visit to his home in Asheville, N.

He says however that his experience will not affect his pugilistic ability when he makes a bid for boxing honors this year. Martin is also a star football player. u. s. c.

Bonn was elected faculty advisor of flic International Relations Club by the organization at its meeting October 27. Doctor Bonn's term will include the remainder of the first semester. The feature of the program was a paper by Sarah Davis on the SmootHawley tariff measure. Miss Davis indicated that since the passage of this measure, total imports to the United States have greatly decreased. She also mentioned the antagonism that has grown up in Europe concerning it, and questioned whether it could hope to benefit the country.^ President Lewis announced that a meeting of the executive committee would be called before the next meeting. u. s. c.

IS EARTHQUAKE ] DETECTOR ' ' ?? lew Seismograph is Put in Science Building; Under Direction of Taber , i The latest acquisition to the science j jpartment of the University is a new j id improved seismograph, colloquially j lown as an earthquake detector, t hich will be installed some time in the t lar future. * / The double doors which will insure complete light-tight condition were , nished Wednesday. Meticulous care p needed in insuring the absence of all r lumination, since a photographic lank is used in the registering of all t isturbances of the earth's surface. The j irnent pier on which the instrument c ill be set up was installed in the baseicnt of LeConte college some weeks ?o. It is placed so that the apparatus j ill be in contact with no part of the t uilding, and thus will not be agitated j y the moving of classes overhead. . Dr. Taber is much pleased with the . rospect of having this machine, which, 'ith its new improvements make it , ractically unique, in that there are nly four of its kind in the world. The itest advantages which make it su- , crior to its predecessors are the aparatus which is arranged to com-* ensate for any spherical disturbances, xtraneous to earthquakes. Another ( cnefit accruing from the use of this meliorated tool is the periodic translission by radio of the time to the lock which makes possible the time f the quake. I Professor Carson, head of the Miysics department, is to be in charge f the very susceptible machine. Dr. I 'aber expressed his gratification that < liey should have a man so well versed 1 the workings of intricate and delicate lachines. i ?BU ( k Suits. SOCIE' $4 $2 $25.00 and $30, SOCIETY Mars . ..

Between the lours of 12 and 1, the students, naturaly quite delighted at not having to stand he expected quiz, eagerly went through he printing establishment of the Coumbia Record. With wide eyes (some with wide ( nouths), they watched the huge printing i >ress turn out papers?dozens by the l ninute. "What is this? What is that?" Above i he roar of the machine they shouted to )r. Babcock, bombarding him with ( [uestions. Then they climbed the two flights of iteep, narrow, winding stairs in order to earn how newspaper type is set. Fascilated by the linotype machine, enthralled >y the automatic printer, they wandered iround, getting into the workers' way, md knocking down not so many objects. But most exciting of all was the "hell-pot" in which the lead is melted into a liquid state. The "printer's devil" handled the hot stuff with such fearlessness as to bring forth gasps from the wondering co-eds. The real surprise came when each member of the class was given a souvenir to take home?a tiny sliver of lead with his name in linotype impressed upon it. u. s. c.
