The Birds came out of the North Carolina game with no serious injuries and should be ready for the hated Tigers next Thursday. A few people were surprised at the Birds fine showing against North Carolina last week but this corner expected it. Coach Rex Enright had pointed his men for this game and with any luck at all the Birds could have upset the highly touted Tar Heels. But that game is history now and next on the list is the game of games in South Carolina, the annual state fair event between the Birds and the Tigers. And right now we are stepping out on a limb and picking the Birds to wii. Various campus groups have lined up a number of inter esting programs which should appeal to students, alumni, and visitors alike. Last week this column suggested that Stu dent Council adopt some plan for the formal initiation of freshmen into the university. We suggested that the week of the State Fair game be chosen as the week of orientation and initiation. . We are happy to report that Council has adopted such a plan with an accompanying rat court and all the trimmings. The plan as set forth by Council and under the joint direc tion of Council and KSK, campus service fraternity, may be found in its entirety elsewhere in this paper. Our congrats to Council for making a move in this direc tion. This part of campus life is something that has long been missing from the Carolina scene. No Gripes Left , There's almost nothing left to gripe about as Carolina any more. The seating arrangement which was supposed to be a pain in the neck to all concerned has proved itself work able. It hasn't always been satisfactory but it has lessened the confusion and long lines and four hour waits in the sta dium which in years past were an inevitable part of the Caro lina football games. The band has emerged from the ugly duckling stage and is now one of the biggest attractions that we can offer to spectators coming here. The football team ,although not winning any games has played, for the most part, satisfactory football and there are few complaints in their direction. Even school spirit has come out of its darkened corner and is on its way to a place in the light. That leaves almost nothing to gripe about, Maybe there will be soon, but at the moment the athletic situation and its accompanying events is healthy and gives promise of staying that way. This is the first time that the signs have pointed this way since this writer has been a member of the student body. Fowl or Fair sends its congratulations to all of those people who have had a hand in this evolution of the football and athletic setup. The list is long and will grow longer as more people continually lend their energies to the betterment of Carolina athletics. Lets Change the "T" Party Last year the Blue Key chapters of Carolina and Clemson originated a silver, loving cup to be ;>resented to the annual winner of the State Fair game. This cup was presented at the first BASKETBALL game of the season between the two schools that was played in Columbia. This seems a needless waste of time and appeal. Why couldn't some arrangentent be worked out whereby the winning team would receive the cup immediately after the football game on Big Thursday. This would add a great deal of interest to the cup which is a symbol of friendship and good relations between the two schools. By waiting until basketball season to present the cup some of the interest surrounding it has waned and it is no longer as powerful as it might be in stimulating good will among the student bodies. Calendar of Events Some of the better events that have been scheduled by the campus groups in charge of activities for Big Thursday that may be of interest w'ill be the rat court at five o'clock, Wed nesday afternoon in front of McKissick Library. Here all freshmen who have not performed duties which have been assigned to them during the week will be tried and sentenced or acquitted according to the evidence presented. A pep rally and the annual shirttail parade and Tiger burn ing will follow this. The freshmen football game is at eight o'clock at the stadium. Efforts are being made to have a mid-morning lunch served on the campus Thursday morning. As yet nothing definite has been decided but this sounds like a good idea to this corner. Some campus group who may want to sponsor this can get full details by seeing any student council member. Last year this writer, who was working, had to pick up a bag of sandwiches to take to the game. It would be infinitely better if they were available on the campus this year.

Beginning with a band rendi tion of "Take Me Out to the Ball ] Game" which was followed by a barber shop quartet singing the lyrics, different members of the band spread out in simulated base- t ball positions across the playing t field and held an impromptu base ball game. t The quartet was especially well received and succeeded in getting many of the spectators at the foot- t ball game to join in with them as they sang. At the Furman game, Furman s was honored with the forming of r a huge "F" on the Furman side of the field. Also the Air R.O. i T.
