Sidelights O1
By BARBARA DERRICK
Feature Editor
Some 55 university students as
sembled themselves in two Grey
hound buses which stood at the
side of Sims dormitory last week.
The occasion was the South Caro
lina spring tour of the university
glee club.
The feminine portion of the stu
dents, attired in white and the
masculine part in suits and ties,
waited impatiently for one lone
student who had not kept the 8:30
a. m. dead-line to leave Columbia.
Twenty minutes thereafter the
wait was abandoned and the buses,
filled to capacity, drove down Ger
vais, p)ast Carolina and began their
journey to the Batesburg-Leesville
high school.
With small yellow envelopes in
one hand and a list of the persons
aboard in the other, Bill Jordan
began to distribute the 60 cents al
lotted to each for their fare for
the two-day tour.
The crisp white dresses the girls
wore began to resemble limp dish
rags b)y mid-afternoon and the
starched collars the boys wore be..
gan crumpling under beads of
perspiration.
Monday night's recital was given
in Aiken wvhere the group spent the
night in private homes. The bus
arrived ahead of schedule. Fifty
five dejected university students
assembled themselves on the porch
of Henderson Hotel. Suitcases,
boxes and an occasional chair pro
vided seats for the passengers who

waited for their hosts to appear
and claim their burdens.
Appetizing milk shake advertise
ments along the highway tormented
the hungry company Tuesday af
ternoon. Out of the 60 cents one
might squeeze the cost of a choco
late milk shake, was the uniform
thought that swept the bus load.
This fanciful dream was clouded
in Saluda when Van Doren in
structed the students, "Now, you
can get something to eat, but don't
drink milk, it will clog your voices."
The Fairfax swimming pool and
pavilion looked like a mirage in
the desert to the group who had
been jogging along on the sultry
buses for hours, wiping the per
spiration from their brows and
murmuring, "Food."
"You can dance, but don't swim,"
was Kill-joy Van Doren's last re
quest before the herd of students
stamp)eded the pavilion and fed
nickles to the starving juke box.
Rhoda Jane JTohnson, Lou Brooks,
and Pat Bird, who made the trip
in spike heels, discarded them on
the dance floor. Pat Bird is still
hobbling around complaining, "Oh,
my aching feet!"
Last week's tour ended Tuesday
night nt Fairfax. Van Doren slept
from the aforementioned town to
Columbia, but his snoring didn't
disturb the group of students who
sang their wvay hack to the uni
versity.
As the bus approached Preston
college each student opened the
windlow nearest him and began
singing the Alma Mater.
