WHY DOES ONE HAVE TO SLEEP? Forty seven USC
students were asking this last weekend. Somewhere out near
Aiken, Camp Long, the State Y held its Fall Retreat. (In
some colleges it's called an Advance, honestly.) There were
representatives from Converse, Coker, Columbia College,
Erskine, Newberry, Furman (ouch!), Citadel, Clemson
(fairly good relations were maintained), Wofford, Winthrop,
and Lander. There was a planned program until 11:50, that's
10 of 12 to you, and then there was a free time for making
acquaintances and bettering relations. Why don't they have
these things more often? Good will ambassadors from Caro
lina seen working hard were "Red" Gibson, Choppy Sim
mons, Richard Braddock, Fred Sososnisky, Fred Reese, Bill
Haley, L. C. Dimmery, Pat Wilson, Jane Kirk, Eleanor Hull,
Jeanette Dickson, Gertrude Jenkins, Jeanette Monts, Gloria
Walker, and Frances Weeks.
LAMDA CHI'S WILL INITIATE Al Barfield, Wallace
Austelle, Jack Crutchfield, Al Buncy, Buddy Hendrick, Jim
Ness, Charlie Eaddy, and Pete Konduras, November 4. The
night after they are partying at the V.F.W. Hut. Wonder
how the morning after will be?
VISITOR ON CAMPUS: Miss Eunis Stevenson, former
exchange student from Nova Scotia, spent the week-end
before last on the campus. She remarked on the great differ
ence between the girls' regulations at the university and at
Lander College in Greenwood, where she is teaching English
and acting as Dean of Women. Ho! Ho!
HOUSEPARTY AT MYRTLE BEACH: Kappa Alpha's
and dates will journey to the beautiful seashore after their
tea dance Thursday. Won't it be cold down there?
THE COMING OF FALL hasn't dampened the ardor of
love. George Roth, Sigma Chi, and Margaret Tompkinq, of
Columbia College Are pinned. Bob Peters, Lambda Chi, and
Ellen Barker, A D Pi also are pinned.
VISITING GOD'S COUNTRY AROUND GEORGETOWN
over the weekend were Lambda Chi's Bob Westerfield, Ken
Dean, and Jim McMath. While they were there, they visited
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Richardson. Remember Tom? He used
to jabber over WUSC. He probably wouldn't appreciate that.
He's working now at WGTN in Georgetown.
MARY ELLEN O'NEILL, Delta Zeta, and BETTY
FRAZER, Pi Phi, visited Clemson for the weekend dances.
More of that "bettering relations," eh girls ? That's a true
Carolina spirit.
PHI EPSILON PI had a big party last Saturday night at
Sims Park. It was a big time, all dancing and good food.
ATTENDING THE AUTUMN BALL AT WINTHROP last
weekend were Al and Clarke Adickes, Johnny Paresho, Bobby
Smith, Don Covington, Oscar Strange, and Dee Brown. Big
time, boys ?
MARRIED SATURDAY: Laura Speed, Kappa Delta alum,
and Clyde Simmons in Abbeville. Libby Duncan, KD alum,
was one of the bridesmaids. Ann Craig, Ann Goodwin, and
Lou Oswald, KD's, attended the wedding.
PI PHI'S from North Carolina visiting sisters down here
were Mike Merker and Susan Walton. More Pi Phi news,
Jean Hill, former Madame Editor of the Gamecock, will
marry Red Ballentine December 10.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT OF THE WEEK: Mabel Pace, Chi
O from Charleston, received an orchid for safe driving!
Anyone who's ever ridden with the above mentioned will
wonder. (An afterthought which might explain the phen
omena-it was given to her by the Charleston Police De
partment.)
GERALDINE STILL and Bill Dyckes of Blackville are
engaged.
ZETA TAU ALPHA'S held initiation Sunday afternoon
in the chapter room. New actives are Nancy Stewart, Marilyn
McCoy, Norma Bergman, Betty Pope, and Jane Almy.
WHICH LUCKY CO-ED WILL BE THE KAPPA SIGMA
SWEETHEART? She will be named at the banquet to be
held next week. Your guess is as good as mine.

Big 'T' Day
Rivalry Was
Political, Too
By PAUL FOSTER
Feature Editor
Long before the kickoff at the
first "Big Thursday" football
game in 1896, intense rivalry exist
ed between the two schools orig
inated as differences between polit
ical factions in the state prior to
Clemson's founding. During the
late 1880's, Legislator "Pitchfork
Ben" Tillman expressed his belief
that the university was a pseudo
classical center of snobbery and
foolishness, and wasn't fit to con
trol the agricultural and mechani
cal school annex.
At this time, the Hatch and
Land script funds appropriated to
the university to support the agri
cultural annex were its main
sources of income. Therefore, when
"Pitchfork Ben" led agitation to
establish a separate state agricul
tural school, anti-Tillman feeling
at the university was running high.
Thomas Clemson's will of the
800-acre Calhoun estate at Fort
Hill, S. C., came at an ideal time
for Tillman and his supporters.
Clemson College was established
and built; the appropriations taken
from the university and given to
Clemson, and the university was
demoted to the South Carolina Col
lege.
Tillman, a vigorous man, seldom
did things by half. To ensure
Carolina remained on its kness un
til Clemson became permanent, he
had himself and several of his sup
porters appointed trustees of the
weakened South Carolina College!
Effects of the Clemson-Tillman
combination upon the college is
evidenced by graduating classes in
1898, when Clemson graduated 86
students to Carolina's four.
It was because of this rivalry
born of politics that parolina was
more than anxious to "beat hell
out of Clemson" on that first Big
Thursday.

The coke and orangeade ma
chines in LeConte decided to take
a holiday last week by releasing
their contents in record time.
A thirsty student ambled up to
the coke machine, deposited the
proper amount of change, and re
mained dumbfounded while cokes
came from every direction. When
he had counted his take he dis- I
covered that the machine had
blessed him with almost a case.
In a short time another student
put a nickel in the orangeade ma
chine and received his ade and 20 e4
cents to spare. Again he put in ,
a nickel and received the same in n
return. In a short while he picked le
up a neat profit and a dozen cups n
of orangeade. "Cheapest drink I w
ever- had," he gasped in utter
amazement. w
