--Rat Caps (Continued from page one) their initials on. the back of their caps. This regulation is designed to eliminate loss or theft of the caps. K. S. K. each year sponsors the selling of the freshman caps, and is in charge of the enforcement of the custom which requires every fresh man to wear one. Mr. McArthur said that a plan similar to that used ir1 the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech had been considered, but discarded as impracticable. In the Georgia schools the freshmen are required to wear their caps until the day of the foot ball game between the two institu tions. The freshmen of the winning school are allowed to discard their gaps for the remainder of the year, while the first year men of the los ing school must continue, wearing their caps until the end of the year. This plan could not be put inte operation at Carolina, Mr. McArthur said, because the freshman class of Clemson, Carolina's only real rival are not required to wear distinguish ing caps. -Sidewalks (Continued from page one) sum.
