CROWING FOR A. GREATER CAROLINA Honor Frats HonorFratsCampus Picnic Elect ElectTomorrow UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Volume XXIX, No. 7 OOLU1BIA, '8. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1935 Founded.1908 Alumi Student Body 1 In Uni .Crowd Is Tricked Realize That Promised Action Means Of Providing Audience To Hear Pool Pleas Realizing that reports that attacks would be made on The Gamecock and the Garnet and Black were merely means of enticing them into a mass meeting, University students good-naturedly laughed at themselves and enthusiastical ly pledged their support to the swim ming pool drive when they gathered in the chapel last night. It was the first time this year that Carolina students have met in general session for the purpose of airing their opinions on controversial issues. As time for the meeting approached, students gathered in apprehensive groups, spouting varying views on the question seemingly so paramount at the time. They filed in and occupied their seats, as President Tom Mauldin rapped the gavel. Campus orators cleared their throats, ran hastily through their vo cabulary, and sat primed for the great baitie. Easing the tension somewhat, Ed Sal lenger and Jack Killea made a couple preliminary motions, both of which were filed for discussion at a student body meeting next Wednesday night. John Mozingo offered a resolution that . a few issues of The Gamecock be dis pensed with and that the money thus de rived, along with what could be secured from dissolution of the annual, be turned over to the swimming pool fund. Hardly waiting for Mozingo's argu ment in support of his resolution, some one moved that it be tabled. Cries of "stand up" and "sit down" were directed at the voters. Intense ex citement flawed over the crowd. The count was taken, showing that the mo tion to table was downed by a 72 to 48 margin. After expecting fierce debate, the students were determined not to end it all by killing the contended resolution. There followed bitter arguments. Ac s' cusations werc hurled from one to an other-some of them fake, some seri ously by those who weren't in on the farce. Stepping onto the stage, Mozingo ex plained that the report that an attenpt to appropriate funds of the University publications for pool cqpstruction was merely to get a good crowd out, because, he said, "I knew that unless we prom ised action of some kind, there wouldn't be a half-dozen out-and we have just got to raise the pool money somehow." "Of the $500 collected so far, only $60 have come from the students," he pointed out. "We have worked day and night in an (Continued on Page 5; Column 3) Lawyers Give First Dance Plans Being_Completed Only Memibers Of Law School, Local Bar Association, And Out standing Students Admitted.

Ui HU V eets - versity Chapel Stray Pup Pays Visit To Library Explores The Alcoves kongrel Dog Strays Through Halls Of Learning, Gives Students Welcome Diversion The silence of concentration (or boredom) pervaded the entire library. Mid-semester quizzes were no doubt responsible for the large attendance, considering the early hour of the even ing. At the various tables students were avidly poring over musty vol umes that should have elicited at least a little of their attention some two months before. The thirst for knowl edge was great. The time was short. The quietness was becoming a little oppressive and several students showed definite signs of restlessness. Sleep would no doubt have followed if a diversion had not been provided from an unexpected source. The door opened and several stu dents entered. Trotting calmly at their heels, a forlorn-looking little dog followed them toward the desk. Un loubtedly a mongrel, the dog's running gear showed evidence of having taken a mud puddle in high. Evidently sensing the fact that the region around the desk might prove unfriendly, he turned quickly and started in the opposite direction. For a while he rambled around quite docile ly, poking an inquisitive damp nose in various corners and crevices. Tiring of this, no boubt, and prob ably desiring more attention, he an proached one of the alcoves where two girls were assisiduously extract ing knowledge from "luaint and curi ous volumes of forgotten lore." In answer to their frantic gestures (which interpreted meant, "Depart in haste," "Go hence," or just plaii "Scram") he assumed a belligerent at titude and emitted a series of mourn ful whines. This process was repeated at sev eral tables with the result that one young lady finally held the door open while the mud-stained little dog de parted into darkness of the night. The air of boredom settled down once more upon the library. Stu dents returned again to their less interesting, if more-profitable tasks not however without a few regretful sighs. Hypatian Society Gives Fifty Dollars For Pool Fifty dollars was voted by the Hypa tian Literary Society for the swimming pool fund, at their meeting Wednesday afternoon. The program consisted of two book re views: "Porgy" (DuBlose H-eyward), by Magruder Hopkins and "So Red the Rose" (Stark Young), by Betty Corn stock. Refreshments were served after the meeting.
