A carnival, respondent with girls,
hot dogs, hula dancers, a tunnel of
.love. and all the things that go
into the makings of a carnival was
held Saturday night before the Mc
Kissick Library at the Ulhiversity
of South Carolina.
Sponsored jointly by the Boys'
and Girls' Independence, the car
nival featured such attractions as:
the Latin Quarter, the Hula danc
ers, the land of magic, and others.
At the Latin Quarter show, a
Cuban extrovert seated in the audi
ence, evidently overcome by the
music and atmosphere, jumped
Upon the stage and began dancing
and singing-at first by himself,
and then with one of the girls In
the show. The audience w.t ap
preciative and howled their delight
at his gesticulations and body
movements. *
A hot dog stand in the center of
the carnival afforded those seeking
refreshments the opportunity to
Indulge to their hearts' content.
Also near' the center was a penny
pitc'hing board where those with
the spirit tried their luck with fate.
Hlula girls, attired as they should
be. were perhaps the bigxest at

The soft morning sunlight falls

"May I draw your' hath while you

price was surprisingly low in1 view
of the meat shortage; no one has
ever .before purchased so much hull
for six bucks.
Incidentally, Dr. Babcock andi Pro-i
fessor M. G. Christophersen did
most of the auctioneering and de
layed matters considerably while
they were runnir9g up the prices
on each other in customary English
dlepartment collusion.
Another example of collusion
which may well spell trouble for
one of the participants was the pur
chase of Miss Doug Swearingen for
$3.50 by Prof. Frank Herty, and the
subhequent purchase of Professor
Hlerty for $3.00 by Miss Swearen

Most professors took their new
owners to the canteen for a.set-up,
although "Dutch" Wagener Indicat

All Virginia Ra.ysor and Harriet Lee

was a grave disappointement to
