These regulations, under which no vehicles are permitted to park on the University grounds except in Sspecially designated areas on the straight side of the horseshoe drive, went into effect on Septem ber 19. City Police officials have mark , ed the parking spaces on the horseshoe In white, and no park ing areas in yellow. Any motorist >ihundl parking his car in any drive ' ue jy or yellow space will be sub nor 'ct to strict fines. Er The Columbia Fire Department *ssued these new regulations be ~'cause of the fire hazard caused by (present congested conditions.

Parking violations on the cam pus will be handled by a Univer sity official stationed at the right gate of the horseshoe. |mfa F C 1 Largest Of Its A City Offers University Recreational Facilities fly MIKE KARVELAS~ "CaroEna students have at their fingertips innumerable recrea tional facilities which are offered to them by the city of Columbia." So statedl Mrs. George Roof of the City Recreation Dept., at a recent interviewv held in her City H-all office. "However, quite a number of your students," she dontinued, "are not fully aware of just how we can be of some help to them. We have several parks in the city whose community houses can be reserved by students at any time for tea, bridge, fraternity and so rority parties. These parks are theirs for the asking (or the dial ing of 2-9021)." Among the larger parks which may be reserved in advance are Arsenal Hill on Lincoln Street, Earlewvood in North Columbia and Valley Park at Five Points. All three have p)atios for roller skat ing, as well as dancing. Good old fashioned American square-dances are held on various nights of the week. B3oth Valley Park and Earle woodl offer added features, namely, canteen facilities, tennis courts and shuffleboard alleys. For those who make evenings their playtime, the courts and alloys have been provided wvith the necessary light ing. Mrs. Roof stated: "Right now wve're all looking forward to the opening of the South Carolina Rec reational Clinic on November 13 14. We hope to make it a state or ganization which will servo as a clearing house for recreational parties of the state. Dr. Harold Meyer from the University of North Carolina will be the princi pal apeaker at the opening ban quet to be held at the Jefferson Hotel." eg ist Post Office Is rind In State By THOMAS EVANS Carolina's new post office, boast ing the distinction of being the state's largest in teims of box numbers, ha3 already acquired the efficient though tedious knack of supplying the demands of over 4,000 mail-hungry students. Old and new students alike, who, in the early days of the post of fice shift to the East end of Maxcy, dropped in to get their sugar re ports, etc., were pleased with thoughtful changes made in ar ranging the numerous bokes. In order to prevent the crowded stam pede of students between classes that was common to the old post office, the boxes are nowv arranged in projecting banks that make for less congestion. A compelling point of which all students are urged to take notice, especie,lly those who live off the campus, is that every person en rolled has b)een assigned as co sharer of a post office box. Be cause the University sends all of its communications, intended for students, to the campus post of fice, it is important that all who have not rep)orted for box assign ments do so at their next conveni ence. Assignments are made at the "Stamps" and "General De livery" windows. Registrar Announces New Attendance Regulations RI. C. Needham, registrar, an nounces that new student attend ance regulations will be Issued to all students as soon as all of the post office boxes are issued. These new attendance regulations are different from those listed in the catalog and must be fully under stood by old students as well as new. In general, students are al lowed cuts per semester as double the nuaiber of weekly class pe rIod. No excuses will be made for ahmences of two days os lean. rateiodite pUSC Campuwees oh QeafatercvaOr.danytis ties pey fhound hel sationg an sdthe isng an kn effowd coul boe a seveth ohesuenfrt body of ours. Taking the cup-cake for oddities was the registrant who has as his home state New York, that's North, that is, and as his name is a wee bit wet in 'the dew of Dixie, it was no less than Robert E. Lee, Jr. Just kiddin' but you have to admit that the fact remains a bit freakish. Some people wanted to find out what could have been the most frequently used phrase during reg istration. A local ballot chose the followving two: "I'm a veteran; which way do I go," andl "Do you know HER!" Owing to the fact that there are four men to every co-ed on the campus a runner-up was: "Do you know HIM!" Every once in awhile some fel low wvho has spent all his life in a private school, and who doesn't know what the score is turns up to everybody's surprise. These p)eo pIe usually exhibit the extreme in intelligence and wouldn't say "Darn" if they had a mouth full. One of these particular personali ties was heard to ask during reg istration: "What is all this 'You gotta weed' and 'How bout-a-date,' some kind of a now fraternity or something?" Such oddities as these have al ways been present when good Gamecocks get together, but it is thought that this year's crop of freak facts take the cake cup of anl. n e Carolina students, burdened with reams of official papers, several billion questions, and 4, 115 personal problems, walked, ran and staggered their way through registration and getting books at the beginning of the Fall semester. . By the end of the first week a record enrollment was on the registrar's books. In the picture at the left is shown Fred Brogdon, president of. the student .body,. eonferring with Professor Kit Fitzsimmons. All of which proves that the new students weren't the only ones who fought their way through the "Needham line!"

J onathanl Daniels, Author, A(dresses (Convocat tins JTonat han D)aniels, author and editor of' The Raleigh News and Obs.erver, adldre'ssed t he Carolina st udent bodyv yesterday at Convo e'at ions in the field house. The topic of Al r. D)aniels' discussion was D)emocracy Unlimnited in which he b rought out the theories of A merican democracy and( their mieain g in terms of Amiericans, rich and poor, wise andl foolish, in this modern America. His discus sion was in terms of the very hu man land in which our institutions grew and in which, he believes, deC spite lapses andI faults, they flourish. The democracy he has found in studlies andl travels in America is not any completedI monument in marble but a growv ing and groping movement of peo ple who still believe in the possi b)ility of a better life in a land of their owvn making. Hfe is a frequent contrihutor to such periodicals as the Saturday Ev'ening Post, Atlantic Monthly, McCall's, Harper's and the Satur Review of Literature. For two years he wrote a weekly column in the Nation entitled "A Native At Large." ATTENTION!

Many stu last month of August. In an effort to meet the demands of such an increased student body, the administration has renovated basements and attics for class room and office use. Typical of the makeshift arrangements made was the use of a large storeroom in Desaussure college to provide a meeting place for the depart ment of hygiene. Former faculty residences are now being used for dormitories and classrooms. The McKissick Wauchope house has been com pletely re-modeled and new furni ture installed to provide rooms for 56 upper class women students. The Davis-McCutchen home now houses the registrar's office in the basement with class rooms for the schools of journalism, retailing, and English Bible on the second and third floors. Lectures will be held in two new rooms constructed in the basement of Davis college and historic Eu phradian-and Clarfosophic literary society halls will also be used for classes. Additional living quarters for 30 male students were built in the up stairs of a filling station near the campus on property owned by the university. Downstairs shops and laboratory facilities for the school of engineering have been set up. To take care of the record num ber of studepts, the facilities of the campus post office have been doubled and the size of the uni versity canteen and bookstore has been increased. Individual Glee Club Replaces Mixed Group Professor Robert Van Doren, of the music department, is antici pating an active year ahead with this year's mixed chorus. Approxi mately'fifty young men and wom en have begun p)ractice, and Mr. Van Doren states that this group presents the best voices he has as sembled since coming to the uni v'ersity. Practices are held every Tuesday and Friday afternoons at four~ o'clock, for one and a half hour periods. The chorus wvill entertain the studIents of the University and the people of Columbia on November 24 at a place to be announced later. Portions of "Elijah" will be presented at this time. For Christ mas the group will stage its usual and colorful Yuletide jprogram. Hlope is expressed b)y Mr. Van D)oren that the songsters will make a tour in the Spring. Carolina will probably be the only school in the state to present a mixed chorus this year. Tenors interested in joining the as yet uncomp)leted tenor section, are asked to contact Professor Van Doren.
