To hell with Keith, where are the cheer leaders ?? ? I'm hungry... where do we eat?? Anybody know where you can find a coke... anything but orange juice ?? ?" This is just a mild sample of the confusion centered at the Poin sett Hotel just before the Furman Carolina game. At eight o'clock things got more confusing.. We were dashing madly around look ing for people, looking for tickets, looking for cokes, looking for food, e looking for the . .. well, just look ing. Finally we arrived at the game, still looking, this time for one special gate to enter into the Carolina student section. After we circled the mile-around field for the fourth time, we entered the right gate only to see the Carolina and Furman bands putting on a very nice show. "What's cooking?" "Where's the team?" It's the half 11 What hap pened to the first two quarters ?? ? (Now you know what I mean when I say we circled the field b four times.) AMotion P I-ellowships To Be Awarded To USC Graduates University officials have an nounced that fellowships and as sistantships 4will be awarded to students, enabling the recipients to undertake graduate work during the academic year of 1946-47. The fellowships provide for pay ments of $400 to $700 per academic year to selected students. Re ceivers are expereted to devote their working time to the pursuit of graduate work in the regular schools and departments of the university. The assistantships carry sti pends of $400 to $700 per academic year but provide that a part of the student's working time be devoted to such work as laboratory assist ants and readers of quiz papers. The graduate program of such students will be reduced about one fourth requiring an additional summer school to complete courses normally takqn in one year. The Foster McKissick Memorial fellowship consists of the interest donated by Mrs. A. Foster McKis sick.

Lost In A Fog sek End At F.U. Then it happened . . . rain! We watched the team, we yelled our heads off, and we sat in the rain. The exciting game ended and the confusion started all over again. "Where in the heck is the car?" "We parked it about two miles up that hill." "Ray Caro lina!" "Our team's red-hot." "Everybody's going to the Poin sett-meet ya' there." "When do we eat?" "Anybody ever find a coke ?" "Here we are . . . everybody pile out." "Hey there, how you?" "'Vernon boy-glad to see you."~ "Bill boy . . . on hand, on time, on tap." "What's going on in the Ballroom?"' "Sure P'm a Pi Kap --just forgot the grip." "Well could I help it? . . . I didn't know it was a P1 Kap rush party." "Sure was a good drop-in ... where were you?" "Let's give 15 rahs for the team." "I'm still hungry . . . ever find a coke?" "Let's go!" "We bail thee Caro lina--" Three o'clock (a. m. that Is) things were fairly quiet, the hotel manager had lost his worried look and one more football trip was chalked up In "Dear Diary." ict-ures 01 Pictured above are the presidenti Gibson, Euphradian; Cookie Van rett, Clariosophic.
