Band Attacked
i After Game
In Greenville
Band members and students who
traveled to Greenville for the Fur
man-Carolina game were shocked
at the series of events following
the game.
Band members were attacked
and parts of uniforms were stolen
during each of six attacks by Fur7
man students, said Ray Clark,
band secretary. In one incident, a
band member, while attempting to
retrieve his stolen hat was bru
tally attacked by three Furman
students. Two of them- held him
while a third hit him in the face,
related Clark.
Clark explained that after these
incidents came to light several
members of the band called at the
home of Dr. Plyler, President of
Furman university, to explain
what had happened. After explain
ing to Mrs. Plyler, she said, "I
just don't believe something like
that could happen in Greenville.
It sounds more like something that
would happen in Columbia."
When reaching the stadium, the
Carolina band, consisting of ap
proximately 65, were placed in a
section of the stands that might
have comfortably seated 25 people.
Last year at the Carolina-Fur
man game in Columbia, the Fur
man band was provided seats on
the 50-yard line, and also a place
to change, both before and after
the game, Clark said.

The football player to receive
the greatest honors ever bestowed
upon any University of South
Carolina player was Louis C. Sos
saman from Gaffney, S. C.
He- first came to Carolina in
1938. After his first year he play-.
ed first string center for three
years. Two of those years he ma,4e
All-Southern and the last year he
made Second All-American.
Perhaps no other Carolina stu
dent has ever held the esteem that
the students of his time held for
Louis Sossaman. He was liked by
everyone. His senior year he was
elected unanimously president of
the Student Body. He held many

These courses are given in order

Approximately 2,000 students

the team at Randolph Field that
caused one sports writer to boast,
"We have here at Randolph Field
the greatest collection of football

You can get some idea of his
prowess as a football player if you
take into consideration the fact
that he was beaten out for first
All-American by only three or four
measly votes by Boston College's
Fred Naumety, whom Grantland
Rice called the greatest center

In the three years of varsity
competition, Sossaman never once
failed to turn in a splendid per
formance. Coaches and players
against whom he played agree
that he was superlative. Fast,
rugged and courageous, Sossaman
possessed a keen football brain.
He was uncanny at diagnosing
plays and was magnificent on de

line. Coach Rex Enright wouldn't

Way up in the hills of North
Carolina at the home of the Tar
heels I found this tidbit of news.
The Prince Albert tobacco and
pipe salesman who camped last
week on their campus, practically
chain smoked Chesterfields the
whole time.
A new fight song for the Uni
versity of North Carolina was born
at the Georgia-UNC game. It goes:
"The eyes of Justice are upon
you!" to the tune of you guess.
One of the philosophy profes
sors at Michigan State says: "all
women who dye their hair are
hypocrites, since they try to de
ceive people." Incidentally there
has been a drop, but no adds to
that particular class.
I noticed that The News from
Boston University has the follow
ing posters all over the campus:
Do you like to live dangerously?
Do you yearn for a life of press
cards in hat-bands, coke bottles
under desks? Does printers' ink
spurt when you cut yourself? Yes?
Then join the News.
Last week was national news
paper week and in observance of
the week 30 journalism students
from the University of North
Carolina went to Durham and pub
lished and edited the Durham Sun.
UNC tradition was given a new
flavor as the North Carolina
Sigma Chi sextet sang:

*onder what Duke will say?
One of the best definitions of a
)olitician we have ever heard was
riven by an 11-year old from
3eorgia.
"A politician," the boy said,
'takes money from the rich and
'ie takes votes from the poor, and
,e promises to protect each from
lhe other."
What many of the freshmen at
U.N.C. have been saying lately:
"They didn't tell me about the
rain here until after I was ac
,epted," which reminds us of some
freshmen here at dear old U.S.C.
From up the states comes this
-orn:
A man returned home one night
at a late hour and, finding diffi
:ulty with his equilibrium, made
:onsiderable noise in the hallway.
Suddenly, there was a sound of
nrashing glass which awakened his
vife.
"John," she called, "What's the
natter?"
From downstairs came a low
numble, "I'll teach those goldfish
o snap at me."
