proval for the new publication.
The publications committee is

was a particular need for poetry
and cartoons. Contributions should
be sent to the Sandlapper, campus.

Student Walks
Through Closed
Glass Door!!!
At 10:55 p. m. Thursday the
noise of tinkling glass was hear-l
by staff members of the Gamecock
from their office on the secound
floor of Russell House.
Upon investigating, seven mem
bers of the late-working staff
found that the glass of one of the
front, plate glass doors, leading
out onto the curved ramp, had been
partially broken out.
The glass door was brokeni by
a male student who thought the
door was open. He tried to walk
through it. The student said the
door next to the one he broke was
open and due to the reflection in
the glass he thought the door he
was headed through was open.

Violations Of
Housing Are
Reported
Several housing violations have
been reported by Housing Manager
E. M. Henderson.
He said the latest violations con
cern letting showers overflow, de
facing walls in dormitory rooms,
defacing walls around telephones
and pulling a phone receiver off
the wall.
Mr. Henderson said there have
been four reports of showers over
flowing in Maxcy College. He said
the water ran over the overflow
mark in the drain area, onto the
bathroom floor and under the room
door into the bedroom.
In the other cases students have
been driving nails into the walls
in order that they might hang pie
t ures.
He said in the case of marking
walls around phones that the
phones will have to be taken down
if students don't stop defacing the
area aroun~d them. In the case of
the phone receiver being pulled off
the wall, Mr. Henderson said the
phone is being completely removed.
He said he "hates to penalize the
whole group of students in the
area" by removing the phone, but
some* -mneasure must be taken.
Did. 'Misery'
Go Catting?
Is "Misery" out of his misery
or did he just go catting?
That's what the seven lassies
who are "Misery's" mistresses
are trying to figure out.
You see "Misery" Is a cat.
The yellow and white (mostly
yellow) feline disappeared from
619 Henderson Street nine days
ago, and the lassies have
mourned ever since.
The captain of the corps who
owns "Misery" is "Mac" Hal
ford, a 1955 graduate of Caro
lina, and "Mac" pleads to any
body knowing the whereabouts
of "Misery" to call 6-6431 any
time between four in the after
noon and nine in the morning.
They're working girls.
