University Annual
Announces Oct. 22
As Final Deadline
Metal Shortages Cause
Stoppage Of Lax Policy
In Regard To Pictures
"Today, Wednesday, is absolutely
the last day on which students may
have their pictures made for the
annual," Art Roberts and Van Earl
Fillingim, Garnet and Black heads,
have announced.
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.

'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.
