Any old policy as to the exten Z5on of the deadlines to enable lack adaisical persons to slip in under the wire is now out of the question, Roberts said. This situation has arisen due to the critical shortage of metal, which will soon be routed directly to war industries, it was explained. "A last minute checkup reveals that a great number of students who have paid for their pictures have neglected to have these made, and regardless of any financial ar rangement, they will not be in cluded in the class sections," Fil lingim emphasized. Early in the year it was an nounced that October 15 was to be the deadline. This was extended to the 22nd, but a further extension is now impossible. Students who wish to be included should go immediately today to Toals' studio, where these are be ing made. In former years, a rather non chalant policy concerning this mat ter has been taken, deadline after deadline being broken. The war and its ,attendant shortages has at last pinned the annual down to cold facts, and if any book at all is to be printed, the major portion of the work must be done before early November. ng Over? ist Da, 7H CAROLINA )CTOBER 21, 1942 s Al-An Leads Drive S C m ~~~.. ................. .............. tc ft i4 P1 /w 11 R.

Aunt '42 Conflict May End Series For Duration Campus Tensed For Colorful Events; Pep Meeting Will Start Festivities By GORDON HILL, JR. All other campus activities will be forgotten today and tomorrow as the Carolina-Clemson classic again sets the University and Columbia agog with its traditional gaiety and color. Perhaps for the last time for the duration, the two schools will meet on the gridiron at 2:30 Thursday, in the municipal stadium. A pep meeting will lead off the Carolina-Clemson festivities this evening at 6:15 on Melton Field. The Carolina Booster Club is sponsoring the spirit exhibit. The rally will proceed from the Uni versity to the Jefferson Hotel in the form of the annual shirt-tail parade and will be led by President J. Rion McKissick riding in an ancient buggy, motivated by freshmen. At the hotel, where the Clemson Tigers will be curled-up for the night, ceremonies will include the traditional burning of the Tiger. But for the friendliness between Carolina and Clemson, this burning Tiger would result in a free-for-all. Radio station WCOS will broad cast the high spots of the rally at 6:30 and 7:20. When there is nothing left of the Tiger but sparks and ashes, students of Carolina and Clemson, will scamper back to Melton Field where, at 8:00, the Carolina Biddies and Clemson Cubs will stage their annual survival of the fittest in the manner that only they can enact. The usual raggedness of freshmen teams is thrust aside as future Gamecocks and Tigers put on a show that can be exceeded only by the varsity game itself. The Baby Birds will rule as pre-game favorites but they will have to reckon with the never ceasing fight and spirit of the Country Juniors. Leading the Biddies will be a pair of halfbacks, Billy Rut land and Bettis Herlong, who were instrumental in defeating Daniel air base of Augusta, 42-0, earlier in the season. The Cubs are un defeated in two games this season. They have downed the P. C. frash and Daniel air base, 6-0. Following the frosh game, many students of both schools williat tend the annual Carolina-Clemson late show at the Palmetto Thedtre at 10:45. This usually results in a bedlam with students of the respective schools attempting to out-yell each other. Carolina mei will play host to hundreds of Clemson cadets as they double and triple up in practically every bed in the men's dormitories tonight in an effort to get at least a few hours sleep. Many freshmen will leave their beds to cadets and will spend the night in keeping fires burning at the Sumter street campus gates. There is a movement afoot for freshmen also to ring the chapel bell all night until noon tomorrow or to beat a bass drum continuously in the middle of the campus for the some length of time. There hasn't been a hard rain on a Carolina-Clemson classic since the first game in 1896 which was played in a, downpour. The Game cocks broke Clemson's longest string of victories over Carolina lost year. The Tigers had won seven in a row. The streak began in 1934, the first year that the concrete stadium at the fair grounds was in use. That some year, the famed "horticul ture, agriculture" yell was begun by Carolina students. The yell was used for seven years and Carolina was beaten for seven years. Last year, the yell was deleted from Carolina's "beat Clemson" howls. The Gamecocks won, 18-14. The blatant, hilarious Seventy-Third annual State Fair will lapse into a two and a half hour murmur tomorrow afternoon while the supreme fowls of the barnyard and the jungle kings struggle for superiority in this, the 40th meeting. Clemson is ready and coming. Carolina is set and waiting. Carolina's Rex Enright and Clemson's Frank Howard have had 10 days to prepare their respective squads for tomorrow's battle. The Tigers will hold a slight edge over the Gomecocks but even at that, the two teams will be more nearly matched tomorrow than they have in several years.
