Watch Fires To Guard Campus Eve Of Clemson Game Glorious Tradition Provided For By Members Of Kappa Sigma Kappa Watch fires will burn again on the Carolina campus. As has been the custom for a number of years each entrance to the campus will be guarded by an all night bon fire on the night preceding the Carolina-Clcmson game. At Kappa Sigma Kappa's regular weekly meeting^ held in the law building last night, committees were appointed and men selected to guard the various entrances. The keeping of watch fires is one of Carolina's oldest and most colorful traditions. Throughout the night the fires blaze high, proclaiming to all that the entire University is behind the team. The men tending the fires work in thre? hour shifts. The fires are lighted just as soon as dusk falls Wednesday and they are not extinguished until sunrise, Thursday morning. XT. s. o.

Alummus Plans Weevil Control Coker Submits Ideas Prominent Agriculturist Advises Farmers To Plow Under Cotton Stalks That an effective blow can be leveled against the boll weevil if farmers will plow under the stalks of this year's cotton crop within the next few weeks, is the belief of David R. Coker, of Hartsville, member of the national industrial board. Coker pointed out that the boll weevil's only source of food at this time of the year is the live cotton plant. By plowing under the stalks three or lour weeks beiore trost, he said, farmers will be able to starve the weevils. This can be done now, he said, because the crop is one of the earliest in many years and the great bulk of it has been picked. "Now is the first time the cotton farmer has had in many years to deliver an cfTcctivc blow against the boll weevil," Coker said, "If the stalks arc plowed under on a large scale, it will starve the weevils and greatly decrease the number that will attack next year's crop."
