U. 8. C. Students Hear Game Broadcast | A play by play description of the Carolina-Villa nova football game was broadcast in the chapel last Saturday before a capacity crowd of students and visitors. Great interest centered on the broadcast and as each play was called the audience responded with loud applause. T^he broadcast was sponsored by O. D. K., K. S. K., and Blue Key fraternities. When news of the Gamecock's touchdown came in, a telegram was immediately dispatched to the team, thanking them for their fine play and assuring them of the loyal support of the entire student body. The Gamccock regrets very much the fact that it failed to mention in the write-up of the prospective broadcast last week that Blue Key fraternity was I also a sponsor of the program. v. a. o. Give Gamecock Team Warm Welcome Home The Carolina football squad was welcomed home last Sunday afternoon by an enthusiastic crowd of students and supporters headed by Dr. L. T. Baker, president of the University, I Barney Early, alumni secretary and I the University band. The team, heartened by the spirit of their backers, planned to get down to work immediately for their affray with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Charlotte Saturday. v. m. o.

Story Archibald Rutledge Writes Article Of Interest To Carolina Students An article of interest to residents of the State of South Carolina, and particularly to University students, appeared in the October issue of the American Magazine. It was written by Archibald Rutledge and entitled, "I've Learned a Lot from Humble People." It is a story of a country lad who appeared before the house of the pres-. ident (now the Extension Building) of the University one hot, dusty morning before four o'clock. He came, hatless, coatless, with only one suspender holding up his jean trousers, and driving a team of oxen. In response to the ring at his front door, the president appeared in a bath robe. The strange boy stood before him. "I come to get an education," lie announced; "and I drove the oxen in to pay for it. Pa, he's dead, and Ma, too. The ox team come to me. I want to trade it for an education." The mountain lad who had driven those oxen sixty-seven miles found in the president a true friend; and from that meeting great things resulted. Today, the once penniless country boy is one of the most renowned surgeons in the South. He realized the value of a university education and overcame all difficulties to obtain it. p. b. a. Students To Offer Blood Anybody willing to give a blood transfusion, may arrange to do so by leaving his name and address at the infirmary now. Calls from the city hospitals often come to the University infirmary for these transfusions. The patients, except emergency charity cases, pay well for the operation, and those who are willing to make the transfusion do a reai service. Physical examinations arc still being held for students registering late. New students who have not yet stood it are urged to report at the infirmary as soon as possible. Those who have been ill in the infirmary during the last week are: Mary Daniel, Sara Boleston, Doris Lindwall, Jean Wichman, Tom Craig, W. H. Cason, J. W. Koon, and Edwin Carter. U. 8. O, Dean Players Appear Soon Plans for the initial appearance of the Palmetto Players are now being formulated, and anyone interested in taking part in any of the forthcoming productions should see Mr. William Dean, who is the director of the organization. Previous acting experience is desirable but not necessary. The Palmetto Players offer many advantages to vocalists, dancers, actors, electricians, stage designers, and playwrights. Outstanding members of the dramatic organization are eligible for membership in the honorary dramatic fraternity, Alpha Psi Omega. Mr. Dean's office hours are from three until five Monday afternoons in the Extension Building, while other interviews may be made by appointment. c. s. o.

Students Seek Jobs In City .This Season There are still ISO students on the campus who have no jobs and who must have them if they remain in school. Approximately 200 had secured work when school opened. Some of these kept the old jobs, campus work included, that they had had last year. Since registration 50 have been able to obtain work. . In a recent campaign thirty men from the Lions, Kiwanis A. B. C., Rotary, Civitan, and Merchants' Association canvassed almost every business firm in the city in order to find possible work for students. They found very few because of the depression and the let-down in the business field. The only possible openings at present are canvassing and salesmanship jobs. These arc too hard to fill since they require much time and success is hardly possible. u. s. o. Library Adds New Assistant Miss Besse Glenn of Varnville, S. C. was made new assistant in charge of the South Carolina Room of the University Library, beginning this term. Miss- Glenn replaces Miss Sally Anderson and Mrs. B. B. Johnston, who are still retained as assistants in the main library. Miss GlCnn is a graduate of the University of Illinois, where she received her B. S. in L. S. In addition to her degree from Illinois she received her M. A. from Johns Hopkins University and her B. A. from Converse College. In addition to her library work, Miss Glenrt assists in teaching at the University. u. 8. o. Gamecock Foes Show Strength While Carolina emerged victorious from its first two gridiron encounters, the remaining nine teams on the Gamccock schedule were piling up victories by sizable margins. In the heaviest schedule ever attempted by a Carolina team, there is not one single breathing spaace until the sound of the referee's whistle brings the Auburn game to a close. Although it is thought that Laval's charges have reserve strength enough to withstand the killing strain without serious consequences, a series of injuries would be,well nigh disastrous to Gamecock hopes. In its only game so far this season, Wake Forest, the Bird's next opponent, held a strong University of North Carolina team to a scoreless tie, displaying marvelous defensive power. WofTord is yet an unknown quantity. Although the Terriors overwhelmed their first two opponents, they were menicre teams. LcnoirRhyne was taken into camp to the tune of 16 to 0 while High Point succumbed to the Terrior attack, 34 to 0. Clemson defeated a fighting Presbyterian team, 13 to 0 in its first start and last a heart-breaking contest to a rejuvinated Georgia Tech eleven, 32 to 14. The Tigers are always at their best when playing the Gamecocks. The Champions, Tulane, beat the strong Texas A. and M. College, 26 to 14, without displaying anything like their full strength. The encounter with the Green wave is generally conceded to be the toughest spot on this tough schedule and, coming, as it does, the week after the Clemson gama, it will be doubly hard for the Gamecocks. L. S. U. tied Texas Christian, 3 and 3, and lost the next game to Rice Institute, 10 to 8. Botlv these teams arc unusually strong. Furman looked only fair in its initial encounter with the Newberry Indians, but displayed power and fight a plenty to hold one of the greatest Army teams in years to a 13 point 'victory. The Citadel licked a weak but spunky Frskine team 19 to 0 in its only game so far. N. C. State, employing its Notre Dame shift to advantage, defeated Appalachian, 38 to 0, and Richmond 19 to 0. Auburn, counted as a serious contender for the Southern Conference crown, overwhelmed Birmingham Southern 61 to 0, and Krskinc 77 to 0, showing a marvelous driving attack. To show just how. tough is the Gamecocks job, the total score of the remaining teams on the schedule amounts to 343, while that of their opponents is only 78. v. 8. o.

College Humor Wants Photos, King Advises "Everyone must assist in the gathering and selection of the photographs of Carolina's most beautiful co-eds to be sent to College Humor, according to a request made recently by that magazine," said W. B. King, Associate Editor of the Gamccock, who has been placed in in charge of the matter. A letter from College Humor, which was turned over to the Gamecock and subsequently to Mr. King, stated that in an early issue an innovation will be introduced, in which a portrait of a beautiful cored will be used on the front cover in color, with her name and university prominently displayed. "It is very probable that one of the photographs sent from Carolina will be found acceptable for this use," stated Mr. King, "as we arc making every effort to gather together a collection of pictures truly reflecting the beauty of our co-eds." Portraits not used as covers may be placed in the Collegiate Hall of Fame, the letter stated. U. 8. C. Euphradian Entertains Frosh With Reception The Euphradian Literary Society held its annual freshman reception in the Society's Hall, Thursday night. A capacity crowd of Freshman and society members were present. After speeches by members of the student body, ice cream and cakes were served. Later cigars and cigarettes were passed around and the reception was turned into a smoker. n|| y gjjfl ? 1932, Liggett & Myhu Tobacco Co. / High School G Volume Lib To Coy* Two Players Are Students Town Theatre Production Includes H arv in And Simpson In Cast Two members of the student body of the University will appear in the opening play of the Town Theatre's current season. Frank Harvin, and Miller Simpson have prominent parts in St. John Ervine's play, "The First Mrs. Fraser", which will open the doors of Columbia's little theatre this year.
