By Carolina C
Columbia City Police officers
were called to South Tower
women's dormitory last night about
midnight to break up a noisy
"panty raid" being staged by USC
Campus Cops. The raid resulted
in the arrest of the entire Campus
Police Force.
Students and housemothers were
completely taken by s u r p r i s e
Thursday night when a group of
the officers gathered in front of
South and began singing "Good
night, Ladies" quietly.
"We were all delighted at the
tribute," s a i d an unidentified
housemother, "but the group soon
got carried away when one of my
girls accidentally dropped an "un
mentionable article from her open
window."
When the pol icemen began
chanting boisterously, pink, white
and blue unmentionables literally
rained from the open windows to
blanket bushes and sidewalks sur
rounding the edifice.
When the pandemonium ceased
to subside and cries of "Yea,
Cops!" and assorted cheers rang
from the dorms in increased vol
ume, one of the housemothers
called the city police. The help
soon arrived and the C am pusa
police were persuaded to climb into
the City Paddy Wagon with no

Garnet & Black
There will be no 1966 Garnet

A fire in the publishing house
has destroyed all copy and photo
graphs for this year's annual.
The small blaze occurred in the
corner where the USC yearbook's
page proofs had been placed less
than 24 hours after they had been
received at the printers.
The staff was notified immedi
ately. Editor in Chief Chris Ed
wards had not been revived by
press time. The other page editors,
Kathy Gehman, Carl Pennington,
Rusty Ellerbe, Sue Self and Jim
Wallace, all wore similar expres
sions to those shown in last week's

Eyebrows around the Atlantic
Coast Conference were raised this
morning with the announcement by
the University that Frank Howard.
head football coach and athletic
director at Clemson for the past i
few decades, has accepted the same
post at Carolina.
Howard, sometimes called the
"Baron of Barlow Bend," will as
sume his duties effective immedi
ately. His predecessor, M a r v i n
Bass, left USC early this week to
take a head coaching job with
Montreal of the new Continental
League.
Clemson officials have been in
a state of near hysteria since the
formal announcement today and
decline comment on possible sue
cessors to Howard, though the
name of ex-Maryland mentor Tom
Nugent has been mentioned as
likely.
Howard was contacted at his
350-acre farm near Clemson.
"I'll tell yuh, I'm real pleased to
get the job," he said. "All these
yeahs I was tellin' everybody I
wouldn't coach down theah if they
give mie the State House. But I
wanted the job so bad I could
taste it."
The jovial Alabama-born coach
observed that he plans to make

In USC Play
Screen stars Elizabeth Taylor
arid Richard Burton will make
guest appearances in the Univer
sity Players' next production, a
imusical version of "Hansel and
Gretel."
IThe portrayal of the famous
fairy tale will be presented April

is part of their newly initiated
public relations and college Good
Will program.
.Mrs. Phyllis Fleishell and Rus
sell Green, co-directors of "Hansel
and Gretel," are quite enthusias
tie about the undertaking. "We will
use much of the scenery and props
from 'Dark of the Moon' " they
commented, "and Mr. and Mrs.
Burton provide much of their own
wardrobe. We welcome the money
savings.
Members of the University Play
ers will make up the supporting
cast. although there is a rumor
that the part of the Wicked Witch
will be played by Tuesday Weld.
Certain Administrative officials
and Department heads have also
requested they be g r a n t e d the
privilege of a walk-on role, but
balked when told they must first
try out.

such hits as "He's a Real Nowhere

which are still popuLar today.
