Fifteen Th Witness Fifteen thousand people from every corner of the Palmetto State and many other states witnessed the first victory of the Gamecocks in five years over the football delegation from Tigerland. There were the four travelling salesmen from Chicago who were betting on everything from who could get the most drunken in the shortest time to which team' would make the next touchdown. And they really had money to bet! An inebriated Carolina supporter with a seat on the Clcmson side of the stadium was seen standing with eyes half-closed and head hung down thirty < minutes after the game was over. Finally coming out of a stupor, lie gave a grunt as he learned the result o^ the game. "I'm twenty bucks better off," he mumbled, along with assurances that he had been on one real drunk. "Hold me or I'll jump off the stadium," warned one bacchanalian football fan from his roost in the upper boxes. Learning that he would not be restrained from such action, he forgot his intention and turned heavy-lidded eyes toward the 'field. Perhaps many would never have believed this to be a Carolina-Clcmson game had they not seen the lithe figure of "Kitty" Sargeant darting from one position to another as he attempted to photograph a touchdown or a fifty^^^yard run. Maybe "Kitty" himself had ^^b^iis doubts, since he was not accomBanied this year with would-be photoI 2 I.

It was not until after the game that it was learned that the ferris wheel was given a rush by forty-year-old children of decided Scotch extract throughout the football frolic of fowls and felines. The question at issue is: Were these "kids" trying to get "high" or did they want to get some 'highlight^" on the game? Perhaps we shall know when certain Scots start a movement to have trees planted alongside the stadium fence. u. a. c. Students are warned that the last date for pictures to be made for the Garnet and Black is November 12. This is positively the last date. They will be made at Sargeant's., Out here they're all talking either about the latest faculty attempt to stop smoking by cocds, or about the football schedule for this fall. The Daily Northwestern, "Official Newspaper of 15,000 Students," says concerning the former: "No law of man, God or sainted alumni is ever going to stop Northwestern's coeds from smoking until the mysterious deity of fashion dictates that the cigarette is no longer 'the thing.' " Why stop at Northwestern? ?Northwestern University. tr. 8. c. "Does your wife drive the car?"

Moore of Laurens St. The new director is warmly greeted by the thousand or more members of the Stage Society. Many will remember Mr. Forrest, the dramatist as well as the guest director of several "plays in the Town Theatre a while back. Mrs. Forrester, formerly Miss Lura Monicr, was the head of the dramatic department of Rye Day Country School at Westchester County, N. Y.

"Y" Drive To | Start Soon Budget Cut Greatly Fifteen Hundred Dollars To Be Gathered In Two Day Campaign ] On Monday and Tuesday, November 2 and 3, the University Y. M. C. A. will have a finance campaign in or- j der to raise sufficient mortfcy to run j the work of the Y. M. C. A. for this i coming year. The amount of money i necessary to be raised from students and faculty will be around $1500.00, ac- j cording to Jack Hall, treasurer of the organization. Mr. Hall reports that a careful check has been made on the expenditures of last year and a large number of items pruned out in order to make the budget as small as possible. About five hundred dollars contained in the budget last year has been eliminated this year. The plan of the campaign will be to have a preliminary meeting at FlinnHall at one o'clock for all canvassers at which time they will be given cards, receipt books and directions ^or the campaign. The canvassers will be expected to call Monday and Tuesday on students and faculty. Each student making a cash contribution will be given a receipt for the amount which he has contributed. The X ?s '? real need of cash at the present time and students are expected to mak? as large a cash contribution' as possible. However, the canvassers will take subscriptions to be paid on the first of^Fcbruary for those who desire to make this arrangement. The salary of the Y. M. C. A. secretary and assistant has been assumed by the Board of Directors of the University of which Dr. Francis Bradley is chairman, so all money contributed will be returned to the students in services rendered by the University organization.

As automobiles are forbidden on the campus at Smith, the college girls have gone in for bicycles and scooters. The Crimson and White of the University of Alabama relates the following ironic situation. A certain student received his grades for work done in the quarter. He rated 13 B's and one F. The 3ole failure was in a course entitled "How to Study" given by the psychology department. Texas women legislators want long cotton nightshirts prescribed by law. But that would require inspectors to see that it was enforced. Would that be nice?
