CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Holiday Remember Thursday Double Cuts UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Volume %XIX, No. 8 - OLID3IA, S. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1935 Fudd10 Optimistic Prc Made By Business Manager Garnet And Black Staff Hopes To Overcome All Financial Troubles Optimism as to the outcome of this year's annual was expressed this week by G. Werber Bryan, business manager of the book. Despite the fact that present finances are rather low, he said that he believed he would be able to trim some items in the estimated expense budget, and thus .be able to issue as good a book as in past v years. u The contract for the printing was al lowed to stand essentially as was signed e last year, Foote and Davies doing the work. The agreement with them in cludes engraving and art work. Approximately 750 pictures have al- C ready been taken at Toal's, and a few P more for special sections will be made t1 upon the. request of the annual staff. s All students expecting to order books a must be paid for by February 5, 1936, because as provided in the contract, annuals must be ordered by February 7. b Salaries of the business manager and g editor are fixed by the constitution at 4 $200 and $300, respectively, but by a rul- d ing of Dr. R. K. Foster, director of stu dent activities, they will be paid only from surplus funds. t< If pictures that have been taken on s credit are not paid for by January 1, o 1936, they will not be included in the book. Snapshots of campus scenes may be submitted by any student, according to Bryan. Thus a more representative cross-section of student life will be pre- C seiated. Julian Salley, senior law student, I is official staff photographer, and will be i glad to make snapshots of groups of four or more for any one who desires. e Subtracting the total estimated assets t for the school year of 1935-36 from the I total estimated expenses, a deficit of C $944.82 is visible. However, Bryan says r that he believes that he will be able to a either cut expenses on some items or collect more than is apparent at present (Continued on Page 5; Column 2) H GLASS AND S) INPROCESI1 By Chemistry Students Cloth Moving Rapidly Over Flame Attracts Attention Of Visitors An inspection of the Union Bleacheries at Greenville and the. glass works and silk mills at Laurens was made last week by members of the Chemical Engineer ing Seminar and other students of the chemistry department. At the bleacheries one of the most in teresting sights and perhaps the most un believable was that of cloth traveling over a flame having a temperature of 900 de grees F, at the rate of 17,000 yards per hour. The cloth underwent this process d merely to remove linters and odd threads. It was then bleached by undergoing nu merous processes and steps, after which it emerges as white as snow. It is also c dyed in various colors, with blue anda red predominating. I After being dyed the desired color, part of the cloth is pre-shrunk or san- 0 forized, which is accomplished by alter- "~ natingly wetting and drying it a number of times. To this seemingly simple pro- 0 cess a great part of the plant is devoted. D As the city water that is used for drink- b ing purposes is not pure enough for the s textile plant, it has to be purified fur- d ther by a separate plant. .s Probably hotter than the proverbial i hot place is the temperature of 3500 de- a grees F?. in the inside of the glass fur- h nace at Laurens. H-ere sand, soda ash, a and lime are fused without any trouble to form the "melt." A red-hot glowing mass of this fused product is shot down ti to the first mold of the automatic mold- t< ing machine. The first impression of ti this machine makes one think of a huge a spider with ten arms, each eating burn- 0 ing coals. 5 dictions For Annual Lawyers,Ready For First Hop (any Celebrities Invited 'ederation Will Give First Dance In Its History Tonight In Gymnasium The Thanksgiving Ball of the Law ederation will be danced in the Uni ersity Gymnasium tonight from 9:30 atil 2:00.

The faculty council com missioned the group to proceed with its plans. The new organization will endeavor "to form closer relations between good fellows among fraternity and non fraternity men on the campus, to up hold and obey the rules and regula tions of the constitution of the Univer sity of South Carolina, and do its best to bring praise, honor, and credit, to the University."

Bryan Walton, Jr. Pool Fund i T TO A total of $850 has been collected to -date on the swimming pool fund according to figures released by Charles .Stuckey, treasurer of the cam paign, last night. This amount includes 275 students contributions or about $300. Of the remaining $550, about $225 represents faculty contributions, and the remain ing $325 was donated by alumni and student organizations. It is expected that the bank roll will be swelled to at least $1,000 by tomorrow night, because of the fact that the majority of the pledges are payable by then, Stuckey declared last night. The drive, opening rather weakly, gained momentum for two days follow ing the student body meeting last Thursday night. A large placard was erected near the ODK circle, bringing the students face to face with the pur pose of the campaign.

Originally planned for the half, it was found to be almost im possible to solicit then because the crowd had risen and was shifting over the field and stands. Last week sponsors of the drive had hoped to terminate it by November 15, but it was necessary to extend the deadline due to the poor returns. "The drive is now extended indef initely.

According to Dr. G. A. Wauchope, professor of English, "Othello" is a play that is seldom produced. Only about once in a lifetime, he says, does one have the opportunity to see this drama acted. Besides those taking part in the play, three University professors are members of the board of directors: Dr. James T. Penney, Dr. G. A. Wauchope, and Dr. Isadore Schayer. Dr. E. T. Bonn is the program editor for the Town Theatre staff for 1935-1936. Students will be able to see the play at 8 :30 this evening and at 3 :30 tomorrow afternoon.

DOUBLE CUTS Students are asked to remember that cuts for two -days before and after next Thursday, Thanksgiving holiday, will count double. It has been a common practice in the past on the part of many of the students to go home Wednes day afternoon and not return until the following Monday, forgetting entirely the fact that there was a Friday and Saturday filled with classes in the meantime. Whether you go hunting, to the Furman-Clemson game at Green ville, or merely enjoy a quiet visit with the folks back home, you are warned that cuts count double.

The measure provided that there hall be a meeting of the students on he last Wednesday night of each nonth, at which time candidates for he various offices filled by student oody suffrage will appear in the chapel nnd outline their platforms in true tump-speaking style. The move also granted the presi lent of the student body, Tom Maul lin, the authority to call a meeting ach Wednesday night for the three veeks immediately preceding any najor campus election. These meet ngs would mark the climax and close f the campaigns in progress since the >eginning of the school year. The first meeting of this kind will )c next Wednesday night, at which ime two amendments to the constitu ion will be presented for the third eading. They passed the second read ng Wednesday night without any dis ;ension whatever, although only about 15 students turned out. The amendments proposed to deal vith the honor system and election of ocial Cabinet members. The first is as follows: Resolved, hat for the purpose of administering he Honor Principle in classes and on ill tests and examinations, the indi iidual class shall be the unit. Any )reach of honor accordingly shall be iandled by the class in which it oc :urs.
