Studes Strive To Strangle Stifling Aims Petition Plan Protection Banisters Would Ban Shotgun Sales Within Limits Of City's Reaches A petition is now being circulated on the campus to request the city council of Columbia to ban the sale of shotguns within the city limits. The petition is being circulated by the members of the law school who are unanimously behind the measure, student leaders have promised full cooperation. Full credit is being given The Gamecock, campus weekly, for the part it has played in the movement by printing each week a list of marriages of students and alumni. Bill Douglas in a statement yesterday stated that the situation was becoming serious and that upstanding students need protection from the Columbia fathers. Billy Wetmore, another prominent law student, said that he had gone out for track but with the development of high powered shells he was finding his training of 110 protection. Wetmorc's engagement, was announced recently but as yet the name of his fiancee has not been published. It will be announced by the first father to draw a sight 011 him. In the m^an time the Richland county delegation has amended the county game laws to provide a year round open season on law students. No license will be required but adequate reasons must be given by those scoring direct hits. Johnny Scott, Ilarold Funderburke, and Reese Williams arc the committee in charge of the petition. The petition reads as follows: . Whereas: Boys will be boys, and Whereas: Girls are the same, thank Gawd, and Whereas: The same to you, Nellie, Therefore: We solemnly go on record as favoring davenports. WilliardWinsWhen Garlic Gets Going The glaring, unshaded light beat down 011 the dirty little room. Five men sat in terse silence, their eyes gued on the perspiring fact of a man alone in one corner. Ilis lips parted: the five became rigid. "Garlic," the lone figure spoke "Garlic." And so the five Gamecock reporters rushed off to write the story how Henry Willard won the Southern conference boxing championship. tt. m. o.

Early this morning a movement was initiated by Troy Stokes to get old clothes for "Judge" and such has been the enthusiastic response that he has already received contributions of six decks of cards and a pair of loaded dice. It is rumored that Stokes intends to drop out of school and set himself in business. o. m. a. Fair Nominee Has Running Mental Lapse (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) "What's that terrible odor?" they demanded. "Not mush," Jimmie Lou explained. At that moment a swarm of Pie Flies flew in. "Aw, I'm stung," cried Jimmie Lou, bursting into tears. "But you better be good, or I won't let you be my maid of honor. You couldn't be anyway, I don't reckon." "One more crack like that outa you and I'll bash your mug in," muttered Mush, thru clenched teeth. "You better watch out anyway, the forces of law and order and hot on you trail." "Not hot," sneered one of the Pie Flies, "just Lukewarm." "You're just a Tooly in the hands of politicians, anyway," added another. "Ha ha," snickered one of Jimmie Lou's pals, "You're a nice one to say thatl Remember another Troy got burned, and he'd still Stoking; the home fires." That crack seemed enflame the wrath of the Pie Flies. Buzzing angrily, they descended in a swarm on the heads of the Dishup damsels, who were soon very much in distress. Four persons were killed in the fray, all of them Pie Flies. Altho several of Dishup's cohorts were injured, all survive. They can take it! The dead are the following: Margaret (Ha^d Hittin') Naydon, Kleanor (Stranger) McFall, Katherine (Kill Em) Pendlcy, Cornelia (Splutter) Beamer, the last to succumb, putting up a brave fight. Among those who are now in jail, awaiting their trial are the following: Nanette Shannond, Lois Twistbull, Meulee Hide, Coy Milette, Miriam Slander, and Carolyn Podges. u. m. a.

Class Under Spell Of Stompkins Judge Speaks Harshly Innocents Inveigled Into Unimaginable Action By Unprincipaled Instructor Haled into court on a charge of perverting the youth of Columbia by teaching his Sunday school class how to blow smoke rings, Benny Stompkins vehemently denied the charges. What, teach my little dears to do such . a degrading thing? The very idea! Judge, I'm ashamed of you. You should think only pure, clean thoughts. You come to my Sunday school class and I'll demonstrate." The judge refused the invitation and sentenced Stompkins to three months imprisonment. Interviewed in his cold grey cell by a reporter from the Yellow Sheet, Stompkins issued the following statement: "I think it's an awful shame," he gasped between sobs. "Here 1 go trying to do something for other people, and what do I get for it?" Beating his brow with his clenched fist, Stompkins took another drink from the flask he held in his hand. "I didn't do nothin' wrong," he exclaimed. "AH 1 done was to show 'em how to play dice. They already know how to play poker. And here they accuse me of teaching the little dears to blow smoke rings." The jailors say Stompkins is usually well behaved, except when lie starts biting the furniture. This habit they attribute to his stay at the University of South Carolina. xj. a. o. all nodded assent, but were still nonplussed because they could not decide what to do with the dog. As they all shrunk away from the animal, the bookcase toppled, and this saved the day, for the regular staff, fearing that a politician had gotten loose, stormed the office, analyzed the situation, and called the dogcatcher.
