German Danc< Mid-A * , i Valentine Spirit Reigns Grand Mrach Led By Dave Ellison, Cornelia Jackson, assisted By Gooding-Dabbs The spirit of Valentine's reigned last night as the regular mid-winter dance of the German club was danced in the gymnasium in a delightful setting of seasonal decorations. This dance was the climax of the pre-Lentan season and will probably mark the end of formal dances until after Easter. The grand march last night was led by Dave Ellison with his partner, Miss Cornelia Jackson, assisted by 'llenry Gooding and his partner Miss Eva Mae Dabbs. Ellison is president of the club and Gooding vice-president. The junior-senior figure was led by John Marion, senior leader, and his partner, Miss Jane Bratton, assisted by Robert Woods, junior leader and his partner. Miss Margaret Douglas. Music for the occasion was furnished by the I Diversity of South Carolina Gamecocks. The decorations followed the Valentine motif and the gymnasium was completely transformed. Fringes of rainbow colors were draped from the ceiling and the walls were arranged with white trees hung with red hearts. Artistic shades were used over the lights. The German was preceded by the regular tea dance of the University Cotillion club. I he tea dance took place at Ridgewood Country club and lasted from 6 to 8 p. m. Music for the tea dance was furnished by the Gamecocks. u. a. o. "I believe that Edward VI and Shakespeare were one and the same person.

The three students, John B. Zeigler, Mack Sullivan and William Richardson, were recommended for their positions by Dr. Josiah Morse, professor of psychology and philosophy at the University, and are supposed to take notes 011 Wile's psychological reactions, and incidentally to prevent any attempt of the captive at suicide. The three work in eight hour shifts, so that one of them is with the prisoner constantly, and each is provided with a whistle and a key to the cell. The consensus of their opinion seems to be that Wiles is not such a bad fellow, and quite easy to get along with?seeming to have plenty of sense ?does not talk about his crime, but discusses killing freely?is unconcerned about his coming fate?and is evidently subject to violent fits of temper. If, in the wee hours of the morning, one of the watchers threatens to nod, Wiles keeps him awake, warning him that if the guard catches him asleep at the post, he may get fired. , FELLER , FRIEND" >mfort in delightful ers every- rZ for years, J * v\ in flavor! ^ frl It talk in KEPT FACTORY FRESH by inner lining of CHLI.OPHANK BOOK STOKT^ ITINES Best Girl r Mother y Don't Cost You Much E COMPANY rs.

New Stadium Nears Finish Few Months Needed Rowe Declares That All Seats Will Face Directly On Center Of Field "The new University football sta- ^ diuni will be completed within a few months", declared W. E. Rowe, dean 1 of the school of engineering, who has charge of the engineering phase of the ^ work; He and Prof. R. L. Sumwalt, of the ^ civil engineering department, have been working on the project for a long time. The money to build the structure was donated partly by alumni of the University and the rest secured from the feder.il government. "All seats of the stadium will face ^ directly toward the center of the field," said Dean Rowe. "This is an unique feature of the seating arrangement, but it will give the spectators a better view of the playing field." v. m. a Taber Praises Native Granite 1 Native granite specimens which Dr. Stephen Taber and others are urging as the type to be used in the new federal | building here will be taken to Washington in a few days by William Lvkes, secretary of the chamber of commerce. It is hoped that the Carolina granite will be substituted for Indiana limestone. C( Dr. Taber conferred with Mr. Lvkes and Governor Blackwood about the pos- ^ sibility of having the postoffice department change its specifications from limestone to granite. The governor said lie would be glad to co-operate in urging t< the change. tc Doctor Taber said he would select two R specimens of native granite to be taken tl to Washington by Mr. Lvkes. lie would st select the specimens from quarries in 01 Fairfield and Kershaw counties, the only tl two quarries where he said the stone st could be economically quarried. Fairfield P granite is gray. Kershaw's is pink. in Mayor L. B. Owens also said he 3( would urge that native stone be used in preference to Indiana limestone. Doctor ^ Taber said many persons had told him ^ yesterday they would co-operate in the movement. U. M. O. Attention Please w Esthetic Studes tii That blank space on the wall di- r< rectly above tiie business manager's jc desk, in The Gamecock office, is again 2/ covered, thank goodness. For the last two weeks the space jc had been as bare as a nudist taking w a bath. Last semester the space was p] covered bv a card with the simple 01 legend, "THINK." However, a mem- sc her of the staff whose sense of humor was deficit removed that card. J Now, however, the space is again covered. There is a calendar there. On the calendar is a picture. In fact, quite a lovely picture. There is a p resplendant gamecock with a far-away T look in his eyes. Perhaps he is think- R ing of that little red head down at the ? other end of the run. Directly in w front of him is a game hen. She is ci gazing intently at the gamecocks vest. ^ Perhaps he had soup for dinner and mistakes will happen, you know. n Anyhow, it's quite a nice picture. And just as soon as we get a welcome mat and a few mottos to hang on the wall we shall invite the student body down for a cup of tea.

Wednesday afternoon. The action j .vas taken on the motion of Archie f Beattie and was approved almost unan- , mously. This action gives the various fra- , :ernities on the campus less than two , A-eeks to do their rushing as compared , :o the usual three allotted to them. In ihe past it has been the custom to ( lave rushing period last through a , late two weeks after the first day of . :lasses. The shortening of the usual ( "egistration period and the small num- , per of incoming men was given as the , "eason for the change. At the suggestion of Dave Ellison the council decided to look into the j possibility of having the regular June < Pan-Hellenic dance come on the night < pefore the June ball and if possible i lo have the same orchestra for both < lances. Club officials have received | in offer to join with several other southern colleges in booking; some lationally known orchestra down for he final dances. In the past it has >een the custom for a nationally cnown orchestra to play for the June 'all but it is the belief of the council hat such an orchestra could be gotten or the additional night at a comparatively small additional cost. If the attempt is successful it is planned to depart from past custom md admit non-fraternity men from lie University and the city. A scrip vill be charged for all men not active nembers or pledges of the campus groups. To secure adequate backing he fraternities will underwrite the ?' venture and the various active members and pledges will be charged an \ isscssment to be decided by the coun:il. " x As yet the council has been unable o get volunteers to help compile the s raternity and sorority averages for c lie past semester and an appeal has )een sent to all fraternity men to G volunteer for this work. For the past , icveral years the University has been v inable to handle this work and it has )een handled by volunteer help. All r lien who are willing to work on this ' project arc asked to report to Adrian spears, president of the council, or Registrar John A. Chase. TJ. 8. O.

O. :1 Editor Well Pleased With Carolinian Sales ! "I am more than pleased with the eception accorded the last issue of The Carolinian," declared James Black, a 'ditor. "Although we printed an unusually c arge number of magazines the de- * liand was such that an almost comP'ete sell-out has been reported by _ lie circulation manager, James J Walsh." Black pointed out that the staff had lone a great deal of work in attcmptng to give the student body the best 1 possible humor magazine, therefore lie vas particularly pleased with the 1 ratifying student response. ^ Since the students have expressed ' hemselves so clearly on the subject >f a school magazine," Black stated, 'the general policy of The Carolinian ' vill not be changed. However, we * 'hall attempt to make the magazine nuch larger. And we arc planning to ] ise more cuts and pictures." Only fifty more subscriptions for his semester will be taken. Anyone vho wants to subscribe can do so by I jetting in touch with James Black, c ^ill Simpson, James Walsh, or Frank 5 Iaskell.

Transfer Students Praise Southern Girls That the southern co-cd is much betLM looking and possessed of more femiine charm than her northern sister is lie opinion advanced by the majority of lie University students who have transerred here from northern colleges and miversities. However, the northern co-ed is more radical, has a wider range of general :no\vledge, and knows her way about o a greater extent than the southern [irl, these transfer students hasten to dd. "The southern girl expects more atcntion," one student declared, "and it akes one longer to get to know her." One northern transfer who came here t the beginning of the current semester ttended the Carolina-Erskine game. "But so many good looking girls kept oming in that I was unable to watch he game," he declared. "However, I unlerstand that it was a very good game."
