Ti pr Eley, How You, Bengals? No kidding, tho! Clemson men. Carolina is more than glad to welcome you to its cam- Y pus! H It is only natural that we show our spirit )n this occasion; we've been doing it for gif years. We hope, however, that it will con .inue to remain on the friendly basis which I ias marked our rivalry since resuming our nterrupted relations in 1906. pal We are now on the threshold of a new era, the mbodying a program of good relations. In '" L939 we tried a similar movement, and ra nothing concrete came from it. This time, :hough, we earnestly hope that we can for- F( ;et our petty differences and get together Th n such a plan. At least, that is, with the ,xception of a wee two-hour period once L year, on our Big Thursday! Anyway, Carolina and The Gamecock| rreet you to our university. Our campus An s open to you. Through your Blue Key chap ;er and ours, and also other organizations, mtertainment has been planned for you, SI Nhich began with last night's dance.

This move met with considerable oppo- Ns sition. col Thus The Gamecock takes the only alter- T.b mative, charging for additional costs above i" :ertain specifications. In the future, all pie- tw Lures of dance sponsors must be five by ;even inch glossy prints in order to be pub- L ished free of 'charge. Any other size or ~omposition will necessitate processing by se the engravers, and ,must be charged ac- in, ~ordingly. g, / . in n Announcements, me and join the Tuesday of the month in 101 Le. st gare College at 7 p. mn.

One was a fish 'and the' others were we, which is why we put out to sea, for 'twas said that in deepest, darkest, equa torial Africa the wild boar hunting was quite the thing. (What a pig!) Our ship was the trusty "Fanny Barnacle", better known as "Old Rock Bottom". She was an old tin can with the motto: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead, for we have not yet begun to fright." Our course was due south and our speed all knotted up. The weather was fowl (albatrosses, you know) and our ship doused herself with every wave. (Water, water every where and not a decent chaser.) The ship was tossed around like cracker crumbs in a sneeze, but after we passed the Cape of Good Hope, she Rhodesia. Durban, our first port of call, was the last time we saw the rolling sea, for then we headed for a tour of the mines of Johannesburg. Platinum mines, gold mines, diamond mines, coal mines-acres and acres of them, and all mines. While wandering through the pits we ran across a hard bitten old miner and got to talking shop with him. He was .omparing the different kinds of mining and saying, "You an tell a diamond even in the rough", when a breath-taking, Fair-haired babe eased by. "Who is she?" we interrupted. "Oh, she's Katrina Vonder Vere", he replied, scarcely rlancing up, and continued, "But you never can tell about latinum; it might be a precious metal and then it might )e a common ore". Tiring of his shop talk, we decided to safari to the land >f the Ubangis to hunt big game. (Big game, little game, ve're game, you game?) For months of the most terrible iardships we veldt our way northward. Only the giraffes aved our lives, as they always led us to the water holes. :The drinks were always on the giraffes). Finally we reached the edge of the hot dry country and plunged into the jungle. Wild boar proved scarce and even hough we bagged two pygmies, things looked dark. How ver, as we approached the Ubangi country, the complexion f things became brighter even though we had occasional rouble with head hunters. One of the camp followers had run-in with a boa constrictor (a masher in a snake skin) ut got off withqut a scratch. The viper bit adder, but only attlered her. At long last we saw signs of human life but somewhere ve had gone amiss. It was the land of the Udrivits (Chevro et?), but since we were so tattered and torn from our long ourney we decided to camp and immediately built some ough shacks to. live in. It happened that the night we arrived, a big feast had een planned in honor of the coming war with the Weown urs. (They could afford it.) The Udrivits had studebaker* nd benz nashing their teeth in anticipation all day long. 'hey offered us..mango collins but we were afraid we'd get tewed, so abstained. There was also donkey barbecue, of vhich, though it did not look enticing to us, we partook. One of the highlights of the evening was when Tondelayo end her sister Ludlu, the chief's daughters, appeared and lid a dance in our honor. Tondelayo (she'd love you if mu atto), was undoubtedly the more beautiful because she vas a half caste. (Half girl, half breed.) Later we took Tondelayo back to our camp and fed her me food and nectar, and made a forward pass, but got hrown for a ten yard loss. All of a sudden a series of screams and yells were heard ~rom the village. Running forward, we saw that a huge go 'illa had dropped from a tree, seized Ludlu and was carry ng her off into the jungle. "Don't monkey with me, you ape," moaned Ludlu, as the ieast made for the wood. "Frankly," meowed Tondelayo, who had always been ealous of her sister's charms, "I don't see what he sees Since it was almost morning before the excitement died lown, we decided that it was no use to try to sleep, and >rganized a little hunting party, Tondelayo and her father accompanying us. She, being a creature of the wild herself, was somewhat mn sympi4thy with the animals. This first be :ame apparent when we spied a herd of zebra. "I weel get reed of zebra", she proclaimed, an'd as every ne turned to watch, the chief admonished, "That sarong!I" This remark made us realize that the ire of the chief had been raised. "It's too hot here, chief," we mumbled, fingering our re spective Jugulars. "We got to Russia off to Siberia; Soviet-. usgro. Abbysynian1" O. K., Mac. You'd better state y pline committee.
