A number of, the inhabitants of tenement ten were congregated in one of the rooms on the upper floor discuss- < ? ing the strength of the digestive organs of a certain colored man that has * been around the campus eating Doc 1 Lipscomb's beakers and other tooth- i some morsels of broken glass. Some believed that he actually ate the glass. Others were from Missouri. They wanted to be shown. "That's easy," said a lanky freshman lad who had been taking in the conversation, and saying nothing. "I'll eat a razor blade-to prove that it can I be done." 1 "I'll bet you won't," blustered an ? enterprising young rat from the back i country as he placed a five dollar bill < on the table. Our elongated rat went to the closet, , and took therefrom his best suit of clothes, which he set on the table covering the money. Then he went to the shelf, and took from it a Gem s razor blade. This he carefully washed i off. He was not taking chances of 1 eating anything so harmful as germs. < Everybody .gasped! Our hero had Is actually taken a bite out of the blade, t and was munching it as placidly as a 1 cow chews its cud. When he had l thoroughly masticated this tender tid- I bit, he washed it down with three glasses of water* He was not going to ; have any doubts lingering in the minds | of his spectators. < Hartzog is still alive, and doing < very well.

Bell Selected To Announce Programs; Guignard Named Technician / A microphone for broadcasting the University hour through the local station, WIS, has been installed in the chapel, according to Professor R. L. Sumwalt of the radio committee. The work of supplying, arranging and presenting the programs has been organized with Professor R. J*. Sumwait of the . engineering school in charge of the vocational guidance talks to be given on Wednesdays, R. G. Bell as announcer, and Sanders Guignard, technician. The University program has attracted a great deal of attention and much interest has been aroused throughout the'State. Members of the faculty who have helped write or deliver addresses on various subjects have expressed their gratification of the sympathy and intellectual curiosity exhibited on the part of the students and public alike regarding this broadcast.. U. 8. C. Fake Murder Staged By Local Law Fraternity (CONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) saw him and demanded that the freshman put on his cap immediately. Words followed, and the big upper:lassman attempted to strike his imaller opponent. Bonham drew a pis:ol and fired. He missed and fell to he ground as Broughton fired. Blood (mercurochrome) was spilled all over lis shirt. A large crowd gathered, the infjrmiry notified, the school ' physician phoned, and confusion gripped the :ampus. After a few minutes, however, the joke became known. The case will come up at the next noot court. Bonham will sue Brough:on for damages, for his fall is supposed to have fractured his skull and :aused temporary insanity. His at;orneys have indicated that he shot in self defense, while Broughton's representatives intend to enter a counter ilea of self defense, as Bonham shot irst. Witnesses will be subpoenaed, each side intending to call several.

BUFORD WORTHY, former president of the freshman class and assistant cheerleader says: "I do not wish to advocate the action used by the Communists to obtain their objective in regards to this matter of seating our students at the state fair grounds this year, but 1 do know that something should be done about it. LEONARD WILLI AMSON, prominent Kuphradian debater and member student board of publications, says "From conversation with students in regard to the seating arrangement for students at the state fair grounds' stadium, I feel that they arc deeply regretful to learn of the coninuance of the unjust system. MITCHELL MORSE, campus philosopher and former managing editor 3f The Gamecock, philosophizes: 'Once there was a freshman who thought a football game was a student iffair." DOROTHY MARSH: "I think that the students deserve better seats. Good seats, a good view of the field, ind a good frame of mind go a lot toward making the students show real spirit and being a help to their team." HEAD CHEERLEADER CHARLIE BUSHAW gave a new twist to the argument: "In comparison with the other schools and colleges, w.e* are doing good to get what we want. At the Georgia Tech and the L. S. U. games, the student bodies were seated behind the goal lines. I admit that these games were played in oval stadiums but the seating was that way. No partiality is being shown to any students at the University. They can sit in the cheering section at the Clemson tilt if they promise to cheer." PAT NELSON: "It is a deplorable fact that at every Carolina-Clemson game the University students have been sold very poor seats?sometimes behind the goal line. This is not at all fair. The Carolina and Clemson students put on the game and should be given some consideration. CARLISLE ROBERTS: "I think Carolina students deserve choice seats at all athletic events put on by the University." . 11 ) 1 Musel On Other State Ex-Gov. D. C.
