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

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

And Non-Fraternity Men
A group of students presented a
petition to the faculty council Wednes
day to organize a "Karolina Klub," to
be recognized as an organization on
the campus, according to information
released yesterday through the regis
trar's office. 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."
Members of the student body who
presented the petition are: C. V. Boy

son, Jr., J. Willis Cantev, William C.
Capehart, John Gregg McMaster, Jr.
Tan Strvensn, Walter Tylor, Harry

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. The following

The music for the "Song of Willow,"
sung by Desdemona was composed by
Maurice Matteson, instructor in music
especially for this production.
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.

Of Students Once A Month To
Hear Candidates For Office
You will have a chance to hear and
cc aspiring campus politicians at least
mnce a month in the future, as pro
'ided in a resolution passed at the stu
lent body meeting Wednesday night.
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

y H. P. Fulmer, congressman from

peaker of the evening.
"A congressman can not get a bill
eported out favorably by the various
ommittees without extreme effort,"
e declared, explaining that it was the
~eneral conception on the part of the
oters that all a legislator had to do
has to speak and all other members,

idding.
"The author must stick behind his
ill, in and out of session, if he hopes
o get it passed," Congressman Ful
ner pointed out.
There isn't nearly as much useless
ilibustering in the congressional halls

peech on every bill, even though it
mas been reported favorably, is limited
