The trip will be made by bus. New equipment has been received to accommodate the large number of r freshmen on the roster. There arc approximately twice as many pieces in the band as were last year.

COTTON PICKIN'S | There's been so much jawing about a new president, and so many names prominently mentioned that every professor at the University, including a smattering of assistants, feels secretly sure he's the lucky guy. In the meantime, Dean Baker, serving efficiently as president pro tem now for the second time, goes' entirely unballyhoocd. Dean Baker is familiar with, and has demonstrated his capacity for the office. He is liberal, progressive and magnanimous. u. s. c. A prominent student attests the folI lowing solemn affidavit concerning the ^ decadence of insccts, contaminated by civilization: "I flicked a burning duck over on the floor and a big cockroach picked it up and walked off smoking nonchantly." Three generations ago, all the land on which Davis, L,c Contc, Sloan, Melton field, and the Womans' building are now situated was granted gratis to the University by Governor Gibbet* of South Carolina. In no way has this splendid gift been commemorated; the cast campus is no longer called Gibbcs' Green. The Womans' building goes nameless. The first woman to matriculate at the University, and its most famous alumna, is Fannie Gibbes, noted dramatist, and direct dcsccndent of Governor Gibbcs. The Gibbes family has been outstanding in South Carolina affairs for generations, a position still admirably maintained. The Womans' building should be named Gibbes hall. u. s. o. At least three men, lucratively employed at the canteen at the rate of forty cents an hour, are social fraternity men. Any man who can pay social fraternity fees and dress to the social fraternity standard has absolutely no business doing a really needy fellow out of a chance to stay in school. The same conditions exist at the mess hall. In one instance, two brothers, working at the mess hall at the same time, in spite of a rule against brothers working there concurrently, i were sons of one of the wealthiest farmers in Orangeburg County, and both members of a social fraternity. One of these, in addition to his board, drew a salary. Somehow, his brother was taken on in spite of the rule? and is now in line for his brother's job. Applications of really worthy cases have lain on file, neglectcd, for four long years and longer. Speaking of the efficiency of our noble and bcllycose Columbia policemen at the U. S. C.?Duke Game, the view of the Governor of the State and the President of Duke University and the President of our own. University, from their box-seat9 on the side-lines, I was largely obstructed by a mob of cussing, corn-swigging fans who usurped the "no-man's land" directly in front of the boxes and booed the cops who seemed incapable of more than an occasional "naughty, naughty." u. a. o. Judge: Have you anything to put before the court before your case goes to the jury? Accused: Would $10.00 be enough?] Razor-Eating Terrifies 4 A solution <to the old razor blade problem has been found at last! A 37-year-old negro arrived at the canteen this week and readily disposed of several blades, for those unfortunate students who found it hard to dispose of them. I prefer Gillettes," the colored man stated, 'as they have a very delightful flavor." With a bottle of milk and a bunch of grapes, razor blades were crunched quietly by the man in front of a group of skeptical students. What a strange meal with which to use milk and grapes as a chaser 1 I have been eating blades and glass all of my life, and have suffered no ill effects thus far," the darkey commented. A look of genuine disappointment crept over his face when hfc learned that none of the boys could furnish him with choice tidbit* of windshield glass and fragments of soda-pop bottles. "Believe me, boss, windshield glass is sho' a delerkacy." Midst the jingle of newly-acquired nickles and dimes, the queer being sallied forth for more uneaten shavers. S. A. M. L. A. Meets Here Carrington T o Speak University Will Be Host To South Atlantio Modern Language Association Dr. H. Carrington Lancaster, professor of French literature in Johns Hopkins University, will be the guest of honor and principal speaker at the fourth annual meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association, which is to take place here at the University of South Carolina on November 27 and 28. Dr. Lancaster is a well-known authority on modern languages and a: famed speaker. Professor E. J. Irving of Davidson College, Davidson, N. C., who is president of the association, is also to be present. About one hundred teachers and instructors from all parts of the Southeastern states are expected to attend. Dr. Frank Bradley, head of the German department at this University, is a member of the executive committee of the organization, and was instrumental in founding it. He has announced that an interesting and entertaining program to be presented by local talent is being planned in addiion to Dr. Lancaster's address. Everyone is issued a cordial invitation to attend. The organization is now in its fourth ear. Its first annual meeting was held in Atlanta, Georgia; the second, at Converse College; the third, at Davidson College; and the fourth will take place here. The University is greatly pleased to be able to co-operate with other schools in bringing this broadening and enlightening influence -to all students. Study Hall For Students Opens The study halls in Davis collcge, rooms 7 and 9, opened Thursday night at 7:30. Room 7 will be used for math assistance especially. Tutors will be there for that purpose. Room 8 will be used, kept open strictly for study. These study halls are to be held from 7:30 to 10:30 every night except Saturday and Sunday. Last year the number attending averaged sixty students each night. The average of those attending was kept and found to be much higher than that of those who did not attend. U. 8. O. COMICAL ACTS "Say, how do I go about getting my boy John in this yere place," one of South Carolina's rural citizens inquired of the treasurer's office. With a twinkle in his eye, the official there instructed the bewildered farmer. At another time the assistant treasurer of the University was asked by a well-mannered gentleman where "Mr. DeSaussure's office might be?" But to make this brief record of remarks heard from the unitiated complete, a freshman co-ed is brought into the story. Asked if she was a freshman by Wilbur Jones at the Chapel door Monday afternoon, September 15, she replied, "No, I'm a day student." It is believed, nevertheless, that she is a freshman?or a freshwoman at least. =a=SS=2^=5=S3==S==S5S===5H==5=K-=HE African College Boys Stolen Lab Goods Back Miscroscope Recovered Equipment From Biology Lab Found In Charleston Pawn Shop An eighty-dollar microscopc that was stolen from the department of Biology in April of the last semester, has been located in a Charleston pawn shop by the police chief of the city, says Dr. J. T. Penney. x The serial number of the instrument was obtained from the manufacturers as soon as it disappeared, and a search was made of the pawn shops in Columbia, but to no avail. The instrument was given up for lost until a letter from the chief of police in Charleston arrived recently, asking if it belonged to the University. It has been identified, and will be returned. The thief probably intended to use the microscopc at the Charleston medical college, but feared detection and so pawned it, said Dr. Penney. No one is suspected. U. 8? O.
