German To Cap Pre-Holiday Fete Will Be Held In Gym No One Will Be Admitted After 10:30; "Red" Kiblers Orchestra To Play Capping the pre-holiday festivities, the Christmas German, always one of the most colorful dances of the social year at Carolina, will be held in the University gymnasium next Tuesday night, from 9 until 1:30. An unusual feature of this dance will be the fact that no one will be admitted after 10:30 o'clock. This step was taken ,in order to assure the dance of starting on time. The practice is expected to make the occasion much more attractive and entertaining for those attending. "Red" Kibler and his orchestra, formerly of New York, will furnish the music for the occasion. Leading the various figures and marches of the night will be David Ellison, president of the club, assisted by Henry Gooding, and their partners; and John Marion, senior .leader and Bobby1 Wbods, junior leader, and their partners. The gymnasium will be appropriately decorated for the occasion. Thesis-Tells Of Odd Marriages Marrying men whom they had never seen was the experience of 25,000 brides-elect who came to America in 1914, and yet the majority of them have turned out happily. The home life of the Oriental in America has been unusual, for, unlike other immigrants, the Chinese and Japanese were unmarried. Arrangements had to be made by which these immigrants could secure brides, since the law of California forbids intermarriage of Orientals and Americans. This was undertaken by the Japanese association, which reported \hc number of brides wanted, to the Japanese consul, who in turn investigated both*the prospective groom and bride. If they were mutually interested, he arranged passage for the bride, who journeyed to America to marry a perfect stranger. These facts are in a graduate thesis submitted to the University of South Carolina by Mary Owings Miller on "Influence of Different Nationalities on American Customs, Traditions, and Institutions." v. m. o. Orientals Establish Y's In Big American Cities A Y. M. C. A. and a Y. W. C. A. have been organized by the Chinese who have settled in the United States. Their work is like that of the American organizations which bear the same names. The Japanese, on the other hand, have built nineteen buddhists Temples in California, and twenty-one priests have been sent over as priests and missionaries. The above facts were given in a graduate thesis given to the. University by Mary Owens Miller, entitled, "The Influence of Different Nationalities on American Customs, Traditions and Institutions."

Brown Shows Genius In Highway Incident T It may seem a little strange, but >f one of the University's most colorful tt figures has become a master of the lt art of bumming. J. Wiley Brown was c a little late in getting started on a ren cent trip to his home in Florence, but r this meant nothing to that deep-voiced s, attorney. He beguiled an innocent s sophomore into going with him, and as dusk was settling over the campus, they set out for a free ride to Sumter, 's A kindly stranger came along and c offered" to take them "as far as possii ble" towards their destination. As >- soon as they crossed the ^Vateree - river, the obliging gentleman made it plain that he lived just off the high9 way. I- Here was a predicament that could - be dealt with only by a master mind, e but Brown rose to the occasion, it "Well," he said, "I guess we will c have to spend the night in the top of e a high tree, so the wildcats won't get it us." The gentle hint was well taken, and e the good Samaritan was deeply moved. e When he came to his road he offered in a weak voice to take the boys on h to Sumter, a matter of some 15 miles. "Why, my good friend," said the " Wiley Brown, "that would be out of ' the question. I would not even consider imposing on you to such an 5> extent." ^ But the heaven-sent driver noticed that the lanky barrister was already settled for the rest of the ride, so he very cheerfully (?) took theni on. _ -P.
