British M .0 Musicians Reviewed By Loretta Plott The Grenadier Guards' Regi mental Band and- Massed Piper and Highland Dancers of the Scots Guards performed with skill, color, and pageantry before a very en thusiastic audience Monday night, Nov. 17, at the Township Audi torium. The Scots Guards and Grenadier Guards are part of the household guard to England's royalty. The Guards' Band, directed by Mazjor F. T. Harris, executed many imrching drills to music such as S'usa's "Washington Post March," "Colonel, Bogey," from the movie .Brid,re on the River Kwai," and "Under the Double Eagle" by Wagner. Colorful Precision The tall bear skin hats, the scar let tunics of the Guardsmen, and the fine playing of the band cre ated a unique spectacle of colorful precision. The Massed Pipers, dressed in the traditional plaid kilts of Scot land and playing bagpipes, per formed skillfully. Established as part of the Royal Guardsmen in 1662, the Scots Guards have at tracted audiences the world over. Highland Dancers Another capable and popular group was the Highland Dancers. Dressed in the kilts and colorful glengarry bonnets, they performed the intricate Highland dances. The dances, the Highland Fling and Sword Dance, are principally dances celebrating victory. They were performed with precision and fervor that won favor and ap proval of the audience. The Grenadiers Guards and Scots Guards are on an eleven weeks tour of the country. Major J. F. D. Johnston, commanding officer of the band, said the com pany will have given seventy-five performances by the end of the tour. Sn, Meard.

Car pistols which were made to ordei exhibit on duelling set up in ti By Anne Valley Feature Editor For those students who are s p i r t s minded, historically minded, culturally minded, and just curious, the South Carolini ana Library, historic library of the campus, has a very interest ing exhibit. The exhibit concerns duelling in the State. In addition to many accounts of South Carolina duels, some of which are in the original manu scripts, it contains several inter esting pictures and three sets of duelling pistols. Iron Mpn Camden seems to have been the scene of many nineteenth century battles. So keen was the interest in duelling there that an iron man, a picture of which is in the exhibit, was used for duelling practice in the city. The last famous duel in the state was held in Camden in 1880 in which Colonel William Shannon was killed by Colonel E. B. C. Cash. The public opinion following this famous duel was largely respon sible for the enactment of anti duelling statute by the South Carolina state legislature. In 1885 a law was passed re cuiring each state official to take an oath stating that he had not I)ari% ('ollege: "Abandon hop)e all ye weho enter here.'" o. * * brench professo r remarking to his class:~ "N%o one in the wehole ieorId understands this poemn, but ace're going to read it antey.''

S se South Caroliniana library. (Gam taken part in a duel since 1881. Governor Timmerman was re quired to take the oath during his inauguration. Early Scene Charleston seems to have been the scene of many early South Carolina duels. A duel between Dr. John Haley and Peter De lancey in 1771, in which Delancey was killed, is related in Joseph Johnson's Traditions and "Remi niscences . . . Of The American Revolution." A British account a duel between General Robert Howe and Christopher Gadsden in 1778 is also on display. One of the most interesting documents to Carolina students is the page in the Euphradian Society's minutes of Oct. 18, 1833, dedicated to John G. Adams killed in a duel by his fellow student Govan Roach. It is the only fatal duel connected with this University. Student Challenge A very vivid account of how this duel came about is recorded in J. Marion Simms' "Autobi ography": "They were very in timate friends; they sat opposite to each other in the Steward's Hall . .. it was considered a mat ter of honor, when a man got hold of a dish . . . it was his . . . both caught hold of a dish of trout at the same moment. "Adams did not let go; Roach held on to the dish. Presently Roach let go . . . and said: 'Sir, I will see you after supper." ...Roach waited outside the door for Adams. "There were no hard words and no fistcuffs-all was dig nity and solemnity. 'Sir,' said Carolina Fro Annual 4-H ( Robert Glymph, a University freshman journalism major, will attend the national 4-H Club Con gress to be held in Chicago Nov. 29-Dec. 4. Glymph will attend as a result of his winning in State Citizenship Activity award. He has been active in the 4-H Club for seven years during which time the main emphasis of his work has been on leadership and safety projects. Glymph's citizenship record has been entered in national competi tion for a college scholarship. The 780 K. C. WUsc Radio Guide 780 L. C.

The pistols are part of an cock photo by Jatck French) Roach, 'What can I do to insult you?' Adams immediately re plied, 'This is enough, sir, and you will hear from me.' Adams immediately went to his room and sent a challenge to Roach." Duelling Pistols Three sets of duelling pistols are the outstanding part of the exhibit. The duelling pistols of James S. Guignard of Columbia are on display along with shot, and other necessary equipment. The guns are long curved metal and wood instruments. The duelling pistols used by General Maxey Gregg in Mexico are also on display. These guns are very plain, short, and with a wood handle. Ornate Set A very ornate set of pistols made to order in Belgium for Colonel John J. Seibels, minister to Belgium, as a gift for his brother Colonel Emmet Seibels, is very interesting. Bullets cast for a duel be tween Colonel Seibels and Cap tain Elbert Bland are also in the set. The duel, resulting from an argument over a card game on Nov. 21, 1861, took place on the "Battle Field of Mannassos." Neither man was killed, but Seibels suffered a flesh wound. Duelling was a very honorable way of settling personal dis agreements at this time. The gentlemen who participated in duels followed strict codes such as the "Code of Honor" by John L. Wilson, a copy of which is on hand at the Carolinians. For those who have not al ready seen the exhibit, I recom mend it to you. sh To Attend lub Congress trip and scholarship awards are presented in honor of Mr. Thomas E. Wilson for his great interest in 4-H work. He and Kay Dantzler, who was awarded a trip as state dress re view winner, are the only Univer sity students in the South Carolina delegation. Honors In Absentia A policy enabling students who transfer to a professional school to graduate from St. Joseph's with honors in absentia has been proposed by the Committee on Curriculum and Educational Po licy and passed by the faculty. The policy states that such stu dents who are "planning to grad uate in absentia, may graduate with honors from St. Joseph's College by completing an honors paper In the semester preceding their transfer to a professional school. Although all studenta meeting the requirements were previously eligible to graduate in absentia, no provision had been made to enable them to graduate with honors. Students: happy and Fruitful SGWVING
