Construction On Building To
House Archives To Begin
At Early Date
The building committee of the South
Carolina war memorial commission will
I meet at 11 o'clock 011 the morning of
November 14 in the office of Govcrnoi
Blackwood to open bids 011 the construction
of the war memorial soon to rise
011 the University campus. The contract
will be let as soon as possible after
the opening of the bids. The bids will
be opened in the presence of the entire
committee, of which Governor Blackr?r
wood is chairman.
I The building is to stand on the corner
of Sumter and- Pendleton streets 011 the
site formerly occupied by Flinn Hall.
It will house the archives of the South
Carolina Historical commission and will
be open to the gcnoral public atijl to all
University students. It is expected to
be an invaluable addition to the research
facilities of the University and will provide
access to a large amount of research
material on South Carolina history
nowhere else available.
The commission has approximately
$118,000 for the structure; of this, approximately
$33,200 is a grant from the
federal government and "the balance,
$85,000, has been raised principally
through the commission's efforts.
The material out of. which the building
is to be constructed has not yet been
definitely decided upon. The specifications
which will be given prospective
bidders provide for bills 011 four different

Gamecock Moves
To New Office
The GamccocG offices will be moved
to room 1, tenement 16 this afternoon.
All business of the paper in the future
will be transacted from the new office.
The offices will consist of a regulation
three room dormitory suite and it
is felt will considerably relieve the need
for space which has been felt in the
old offices.
I The move was made imperative by
the fire hazard in the Extension building.
University authorities have regretted
this hazard because of the valuable records
stored in the building and arc moving
all offices out of the building that
can be housed in any other place 011 tine
campus.
It is planned to board up the lower
part of the Extension building as soon
as possible.
FERA Students
Receive Pay Friday
All students who arc receiving FERA
aid are urged to go to the treasurer's office
as early as possible Friday morning
and receive their pay checks.
Salaries ranging from $10 to $20, depending
upon the number of hours that
they work, will be payed to 152 students.
The pay roll, which is the first of the
semester, will total $2,250.
The funds available for the payment
come from the federal government
and have been placed in the hands of
University authorities

Yale And Princeton Set
Styles For Collegians
Yale and Princeton set the fashions
for men in America, according to Leonard
Heuslein, advertising manager for
John David company, New York, in the
slmcrican Campus, national collegiate
publication.
Distinguishing between style and fashion,
Mr. Heuslein said that style was an
individual idea that mignt or might not
become a fashion. Fashion, he said, was
a generally accepted manner of dress.
Because they wear their customary
campus attire at home on vacation, Yale

Expenses Of Representatives To
Rock Hill Subject Of Warm
Discussion
Meeting in joint session to sclect delegates
for the coming intercollegiate debates
in Rock Mill, and to provide funds
for the trip, members of the Euphradian
and Clariosophic literary socities
kept the Clariosophic hall in an uproar
for an hour Tuesday night. It was fi- |
nally decided that the debating council
would furnish the delegates with thirtyfive
dollars to defray all expenses.
Ernest Stokes, treasurer of the debating
council, declared that funds at his
command were very low, urging the
societies to provide the money from some
other sources. This led to a discussion
of expenses 'debaters had incurred on
trips to New Orleans and New York
City, with Ira Koger declaring that it
cost approximately forty cents per word
for cach person in a dei>" ing audience
out of the state.

5 V. P. I.'s Hard Fighting Team
Resembles The Work Of
Clemson This Year
With the count standing two?all the
Carolina Gamecocks and the Virginia
Tech Gobblers oppose each other tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30 in the Municipal
Stadium at the fair grounds.
The two teams have won alternately
since their first encounter in 1925. The
Gobblers won that year to the tune of
6-0. The Birds came back in 1926 with
the overwhelming win of 19-0. With
increasing anger the Gobblers next time
unexpectedly slaughtered their feathered
foes 35-0. Maintaining the practice of
give and take the locals, led by Harold
Mauney and Earl Clary, last year overcame
the first half stand Tech made and
captured the scoring 12-0.
Carolina faces in V. P. I. a team that
o far this season resembles very much the
' work of Clemson. Tech has gone down
fighting before Florida, Maryland, and ^
Washington and Lee this year. Each
time it was a last quarter rally on the
^ part of her opponents that wrested victory
from her.
"My boys have been playing some good
football and I expect them to keep it up
this week," says Henry Redd, Va. Tech
mentor. "I look for a close, hard-fought
game between two elevens that look to
be evenly matched."
J Coach Laval has been shifting both
line and backfield this week in an ef1
fort to achieve more offensive power.
