.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

Visit To Library

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.

Five hundred and sixty-five dollars

1 fund to date according to a report sub
t mitted to KSK last night by Charles
I Stuckey, secretary-treasurer of the drive.
- University alumni have responded to
, the, appeal by donating $215, while -fac- ,
ulty and employees have contributed the i
- same amount. The student body has been d
responsible for only $130, the girl's KSK r
for $25 and the boy's KSK for $50. t
t Euphrosynean literary society gave $10,
b making a total of $645. With $80 in
e expenses deducted for the total, there a
_ remains $565. Expenses consisted main- c
ly in mailing an appeal to the alumni
and having signs printed.
- Further plans to raise money include i
a canvassing of the alumni at the picnic c
on the campus tomorrow, distribution I
of several thousand circulars, and col- I
lection of a free will offering at the game,
t it was brought out at the meeting. i
When you cross the campus today
and tomorrow you will see a giant poster
e near the ODK circle indicating that
there is where you may contribute to the
pool fund. Some member of KSK will
a be there to receive the money from
eight until one o'clock.
The drive closes on Saturday, which r

'Hurricane With Slight Chance
To Upset State Title Race
By Dinky Williams
When Furman and Carolina alumni
oin their sons and daughters at Uni
ersity stadium tomorrow afternoon at
:30 to see the Hurricane make a des
crate effort to blow the feathers out
f the Gamecock, there will be unusual
y high interest manifested due to the
eculiar positions of the two schools in
he Palmetto race this seasoni.
Now just suppose Carolina were to
eat Furman. Then Furman were to
eat Clemson. The Tigers have already
owned the local boys. Such an occur
ence would result in a three-cornered
e in South Carolina football this year.
Alumni Have Banquet
With a large crowd of Carolina alumni
ttending a huge picnic on the University
ampus before the game, one of the big
est home-coming days in history is ex
lected. Reservations have been pouring
n all week to Barney A. Early, secretary
f the Alumni Association, and to Wm.
1. Harth, chairman of Carolina's
3ooster Club. All former University of
;outh Carolina students and their fam
lies are invited to attend the dutch treat
arbecue dinner. The mammoth feast
vill he preceded by a parade of the alum
ii and the Carolina student body which
vill be led by the Carolina and Furman
ands.
The Carolina chapter of the Furman
Ulumni Association will have an infor
nal dinner at the Friendly Cafeteria for
11 Furman men. The affair will be at
ended by the president of Furman, Dr.
3en E. Geer, head coach "Dizzy" Mc
-eod and assistant coach, Lew Hardage.
The most colorful feature o t -day
vill be the two bands from the rival
chools. They will meet at the Jefferson
-lotel and will lead a long parade down
fain Street. Then the Carolina band,
lad in their brilliant uniforms of gar
et and black, will play for the Alumni
nembers during their barbecue feast.
'he bands will sit with their respective
tudent bodies during the game, rousing
heir pep with lively tunes.
At the half, the musical bodies will
narch onto the field and form their re
pective letters, "F" and "C". Both
ands are composed of approximately
0 pieces and when united in the center
I Carolina's beautiful stadium, tilled to
verflowing with a gay holiday .rowd,
hey will farm a picture that the fans
vill remember for many years after the
ctual game has been forgotten.
