G&BUses?N Once upon a midnight dreary While I pondered weak and weary There came a knocking at my door It was Mary Shoun-say no more! "Just a line bf chit chat," she said in reference to this column. "You know, just what's going on." SO HERE GOES... There has been a reorganization of the Carolina Anderson Club and they're planning big doings for this year-going to give a party for some Clemson boys during State Fair week. Each person can invite one guest. I NOTICED . . . While walking across campus, I saw scatback Betsy Fridge being coached by Harold Middlebrook. The Tri-Deltas are to play the Pi Phis who are under the watchful eye of Joe Patrone. He says that Bobbie Hester is the most promising 'newcomer to the team. TELEPHONE RESPONSE . .. While trying to dig up one of Carolina's supposed hot stories a couple of days ago, I had to make a call to Snowden. Some deep, gruff voice said into the phone, "You name it; we got it." And so they did too. On the other hand (or I might say across the street) I gave the operator Hampton third. A soft, sweet voice answered, "This is heaven. Which angel do you want to speak to?" These coeds! WE HEAR THAT . . Several days ago, Lynn Hook had a few couples at her home for a get-together. Caroline Martin, Olive Long, Glen Addison, Claire Parler, Flora McKnight, H. B. Carter, Frank Butler, Edward Keathley, Bunny Hayden, Bill Patrick and Elder Penny were those who attended. The Coed Association is planning a big dance after the Carolina-Clemson game. It's to be a stag or drag and very informal-sounds like lots of fun so let's make -sure that everybody turns out. At the game Saturday, the cheerleaders went mad and the student body with them. Many, many people came out and associated and with good game attendance like that there's no reason why all the students shouldn't come out and join the merrymaking. AND ON-THE-CAMPUS . . - The other day I began a tedious trek from the Grill to Sims. Upon entering the upper story of Flinn Hall, I over heard George Willis ask of a girl as he stroked his hair over his ears, "Can I borrow your frame on the next solid hep?" She stared at him blankly, plainly indicating no com prende. Passing on to the Canteen to Battle for a coke, I heard an amusing incident related. It seems that in geography class to the question "What is a mountain range ?" someone re plied, "A stove cooking on high pressure." As I was crossing campus a terrific yell pierced my ear drums. "Chick, boy," Vernon Sloan shouted and then with his index finger in the palm of his other hand, he waived it about wildly, still thundering, "On hand-strictly on hand." Chick hopped madly about pounding on his heel, "On tap, boy, on tap." New Carolina lingo no doubt. Everybody's say ing it but just nonsensical nonsense-that's what I call it.

Is it to give the young man time to work hiMself into a nervous wreck, thus becoming as docile as a broken down nag?-(Careful there, he may work himself into a fit of rage and chew up the rug). Is it to make her seem indifferent? (pu-lease l-Never call her an Eager Beaver). Or does she think % long, anticipatory wait will en hance her blushing beauty? Whatever may be her reason, I think her psychology is all wrong. While Joe cools his heels in the lobby of a girl's dorm (or strug gles valiantly to converse with The Folks in her home), he envisions his lovely lass dressed and ready yet reclining languidly on the -haise lounge in her boudoir en joying the latest novel no more than she enjoys keeping him wait ing. Whether true or false-no matter what she says-a man al ways thinks a woman purposely keeps him waiting. I will venture to say that the Co-Ed-that is, the Carolina Co-Ed--doesn't go to the trouble. She does not worry about whether she keeps Joe Blow wait ing or not. So she does. Seldom ever does any female worry about washing her hair, remodeling that dress, taking her shower, borrow ing or deciding what to wear, until IT (her date) appears. Upper class (wo)men think it unnecessary to explain their tardiness, but Fresh men can, and frequently do, think up the most illogical excuses. One Carolina Freshman decided to wash and iron a dress to wear one night-after her date arrived. She would probably be glad to know she's one of a few who can do all that in only forty-five min utes too. After all, that's a record. One to be proud of-and she was just late enough to make Joe really appreciate her loveliness (and her beautifully starched dress, of course) when she finally did ap pear. Another Freshman just vowed and declared that she had fallen sound asleep not to awaken until "Someone in the lobby to see you." Maybe she's telling the truth-I don't know. To top them all perhaps-at least it is a little tale designed to deflate the male ego like noth ing else-just tell him you com pletely forgot your date with him until he came. You're so-0-0-0 sorry! anntawnt anaa # WHO will be Miss "Garnet and Black"? More Boys Than Girl Boosters It seems the university boys are outdoing the girls when it comes to school spirit. At the Booster Club's first meeting in the lobby of Wade Hampton Friday, Sept. 27, the boys far outnumbered the girls in attendance. Sue Rives, the organization's president, presided over the meet ing at which plans were discussed for future club development. The purpose of the Booster Club is to encourage school spirit among the students on the campus. Any one may join the club. The date of the next meeting will be an nounced later. Special buses for home games and special trains for out-of-town games will be chartered by the club. Club members will have pri ority over non-members for places on the trains or buses. The Booster Club will support the cheerleaders at all games. Cheerleaders for this year are Jimmy Meeks, head cheerleader, New Fountain Sandwich Bar T By CARROLL GILLIAM Sitting in what well may have been a madhouse, but what was actually busy activity, the man ager of the University Canteen, Mrs. Williams, disclosed the sweep ing changes being made there. To take care of an estimated 3000 custamers daily, a new foun tain is to be added to the old, which is to be placed in the space formerly occupied by the - post of fice. The fountains, with a drink and sandwich bar will be, placed between the two new entrances to the canteen. Both doors were for service to the post office on the old floor plan, one opening on Flinn Hall court and the other to the new bookstore and post office. Mr. Rawl, manager of the Co-op Stores, will enjoy a private entrance to his new office in the corner of the canteen. While his old one will house the supplies which include the largest candy stock in the city. All of the old items carried by oor Players Latest ConsideredBest Last Thursday evening the Uni versity Players presented their third performance of "Brighter The Corner," their all-time record breaking production. The original cast was complete except for Jear Hill who played the part of Jeri Carson. "Brighten the Corner" is con sidered the best production ever put on by the University Players, Every actor played his part excep tionally well. Jim Simmons, as in the other two performances, to gether with Becky Wiley, literally carried the play into the audiences laps. Griffen Campbell, a potential bigamist, juggled women around his uncle as ably as Walter Win chell does law suits. Ramon Schwartz, the officer who takes things in his stride in New York, had quite a time catching Don Bar ion, the man on the fire escape. But when he did, everyone, i,nclud ing Helene Stein, the speedy maid, was there to see it well done. Tom Chadwick, dragged-thru-the-mud McElhenney, finally showed up to meet Uncle Jeffrey and bring the show to a close. The Players next production is "Twelfth Night," a Shakespearian play, rewritten especially for the Players by Professor Christopher sen. and Dave Pope, Dick Wilkins, Chick Shield, Charlotte Gregg, Millie Fillingim and Gretchen Gay den. With Drink And o Be In Canteen the canteen will be placed in sep arate counters. Among those things stocked will be: pencils, fountain pens, stationery, candy, cosmetics, men's shirts and under wear, shaving necessities, ciga rettes, jewelry, and nylons! These counters and the fountain will be serviced with several cash regis ters so that customers will not have to wait while the harassed clerk shuffles several yards for the two pennies change. The clerks, now twelve in num ber, will be augmented by several more. Mrs. Williams hopes to have ladies to serve behind the cosmetic, jewelry, and other counters. For all the Gamecock's with loose nickels and a hankering to win a game (or lose a nickel), five pinball machines will be in stalled. Also feet will shuffle to the strains from a new piccolo (the manager hopes). And those who become too exhausted may flop into one of the twelve booths to be set up. . . . and IN COLUMBIA IT'SB 3eauties Social Organizations To Submit Entries For "Miss" Garnet And Blaci Each fraternity and each soror ity will select a candidate foi "Miss Garnet and Black of 1947' and each of the Independeni groups will select two candidates Victor Barrett, yearbook editor has announced.

Deadline for all photogra phy is February 1. Stan Lewis, university photographer, an nounces that he Pas been able to procure more film than in the past few years; therefore, one more day will be given to taking appointments for the annual. This day will be anngunced in next Saturday's "Gamecock". Staff members of the annual met in the Jefferson Hotel for a luncheon, Sept. 26. Present at the meeting was Robert Davis, repre sentative of the R. L. Bryan Print ing Company, publishers of all the major college annuals of South Carolina. Mr. Davis reported that the '47 Garnet and Black is ahead of any of the other annuals in planning and picture lay-outs. Fox Pays Visit To SC Campus Students strolling down Pres ton's broad veranda recently were treated to a strange sight. Tied to a small cedar tree just inside the brick wall was a fox. Ordi narily there would be nothing un usually strange about this but this fox, it seems, was much more tame than its fellow brothers of the woods. This animal would stand quietly while he was being petted, and one brave individual even went so far as to stick a fin ger between the fox's sharp and shining teeth. A constant companion to Mr. Fox was one of our campus dogs who allowed himself to be play fully bitten and teased by this stranger. Perhaps he was also at tracted by the dogfood which the fox's owners set out for him. The fox seemed to be perfectly content with this fare and also the orange basket which served as his home. Some observers thought that the unusual domesticity demonstrated by the fox was just a trick to ob tain his freedom. The fact that a fox is foxy should no doubt be considered. But the sight of this animal, tucked under its master's arm and being taken for a ride around the campus, was certainly something to be seen. 6jjalaniss gnr Glothies At The Theaters nus Fi and S*a' Edward~ OUNG LLES' SEatC Wed. said Tbre.
