Long street was president of the South Carolina College (later the Uni versity of South Carolina), stu dents here "were not noted for their docility to the restraints of authority," as James L. Pettigrew delicately expressed it. A large. part of students' energy was expended playing tricks on their professors and some of thei townspeople. And when Long street, a Georgian and author of the rowdy Georgia Scenes, arrived in Columbia to take office as presi dent of the college, he was im mediately a "legitimate target" 'for the boys. One of the many incidents re called by his students, in which Longstreet got the better of the pranksters, is the following: Students in one of his classes, (school presidents of that time also held classes) decided to play a new and daring prank on Longstreet. They found a donkey, and bringing it into the classroom before Long street arrived, tied it securely into one of the front-seat desks. Taking their places, they waited calmly for their professor to arrive. Longstreet, noted for his humor, artived as usual, but said nothing about the donkey sitting on the, front row. Instead he called the roll in his usual manner. After the last name, he peered over his glasses at the donkey, finally ad dressing It thus: "Young man, I don't seem to re call your name, but judging from your appearance, I suppose you are a member of this clasp. So let us proceed with the lesson." Religious Council. Urges Increased Student Activity The Carolina Religious Council is planning to launch a campaign in February to increase active membership in each religious or ganization on the campus, San% Sorota, president, has announced. This campaign will be guided by a planning committee composed of delegates from each of the seven religious denominations. I Each student will be contacted and urged to participate in the activities of his religious organiza tion. During spring term registration, tables will be set up in front of the library. Each student is asked to register with the group of his choice.

Incredibly fast the first four and a half months at Carolina swished by, and one eye full of regret and the other full of expec tancy, we pass the point of no re turn. But wheri "TD," the flying Dutchman, and po' li'l ol' me, sit down together for the obligatory evening cup of coffee, there are many, many things to keep thi? fall term with the Gamecocks in our minds. Having arrived here with some what mixed feelings as to what the reception' would be, Carolina gave us such a warm welcome and helped us to feel at home, that we feel almost disintegrated into the group of students, which make this university so appealing. We have changed, too, and it will be hard to get back into the European routine; for instance, we both are very- sad at the idea, that we won't see another Gamecock football game, although we knew exactly nihil about this sport when we came.

"Its hectic history falls into distinct eras-the Caro lina of pre-confederate days and the Carolina that has stood the storms of that time, victor over prejudices, victor over obstacles that would have stilled a lesser heart, victor in its right to fulfil its mission, victor not for itself but for the youth of our state for whom, and whom only, it primarily exists. "Created in 1801 for the educa tion of our youth and the unifica tion of our state, the university opened its doors as the South Caro lina College on January 10, 1805. That year it had 30 students and two instructors; President Jona than Maxey and Prof. Enoch Han ford. "Since that day 145 years ago the school has changed names and presidents many times. It has suf rered and struggled through the War Between the States, the years )f radical rule and the political wars of the state to emerge vic -orious and more progressive than ?ver." Stringer Wants Freshman Class To Meet Weekly Compulsory meetings for the rreshman class were suggested to the student council January 5, by Joe Stringer, president of the junior class. These meetings are to be held alternately with the orientation lasses which meet weekly, thus limiting the actual class meetings to twice each month. Suggestions made to prevent the mass meetings included that each teacher be responsible for his class or that the classes meet roll call and go to the meeting in a body. Programs for such a meeting would include speakers from each of the departments who would ex plain advantages and disadvan tages of his field. In addition to the speakers, the class will learn school songs and hold pep rallies as part of the meeting. "This type of o1ganizatiol Will bring new students into closer con tact with the student body and would encoura~ge them to under dtand phases of college life better," Stringer said.
