The magazine barely made the oft-broken deadline by coming out on October 31 with the rest of the ghosts and goblins. The fiction for the Hallowe'en is sue was supplied by Hal Tribble former USC student of hell-raising fame; Franklin Redwine, junior George Zuckerman, Gamecock ed itor; and Mary Bellamy Verner, Mr Taylor's secretary. Trribble's story, "Dead Man's Hand", was resurrected from the remains of a short story class o: about three years ago. It tells the inside dope of a card game played with money from a dead man's eyes. Franklin Redwine wrote his story "The Third Commandment", tc show the ravages of speed on a wet highway. This is the first time that Redwine has had a story in the Carolinian. "Fate Stands Behind The Coun ter" by George Zuckerman is the tale of a pretty cashier who unwit tingly caused the death of a man because she gave him money enough to catch a bus, which was wrecked. Mary Bellamy Verner's "Dogs" is a pretty little piece on those domestic affairs which don't amount to much, but which are always in teresting. "A Freshman Looks At Carolina" by Frank Sloan gives a "rat's" first impressions of the campus. The opening sentence, "It's a great place -Carolina", expresses the senti ments of thousands of other people scattered all over this nation.

TIES .uHNn Gilland Reverses Double Cut-Decision Trustees Must Take Action On Matter Through error a notice was re leased in The Gamecock, University of South Carolina weekly news paper, to the effect that students whose homes were 500 or more miles distant from Columbia would be charged with single cuts only for unexcused absences two days before and two days after Christmas and spring holidays, Flinn Gilland, as 'sistant registrar, announced today. Gilland admits being in error in releasing the information to The Gamecock, but pointed out that the statement was incorrect probably because of its prematurity only. A petition, bearing the request as above, was presented the University council (not the board of trustees) on Octolier 25, and was received as information only, no action having been taken to date. However, it is believed, unofficial ly, that action along these lines will be taken. "Piano Playing - Its Asthetic Value" by Hugh Williamson, round out the Fall issue of the student magazine.
