Beginning Sunday, March 19 and running through March 25, thf Carolina will screen "12 0' Clock High," star ring Gregory Peck (right) as General Strange.

Any party found I tilty of this act was expelled for t ven weeks. Often though, the t4 ,rty's classmates would go on ; rike in his behalf and he was u on reinstated.

LaBorde's History of ic South Carolina College gives a umorous description of Dr. Cooper scending the ladder while reciting reek verse to keep up his courage. Another object which the stu ents of the B. A. (Before Ath tics) days delighted in hiding was ie college bell. This bell was used call the students to classes and i case of fire. Once when it was sed for the former purpose some f the students took it from its anging place and removed it to >me distant spot. The following londay, nobody reported to class ecause the bell had not rung. A egro was hired to go about the impus ringing an auction bell to All the students to class. That idn't work.
