Exams are almost upon us and our in discretions of earlier this semester have I1" caught up with us. One bright spot in the exam schedule is the rash of pre-exam tests; we don't know what we would do if it weren't for these last-minute study aids, we would probably waste our time just studying. We all owe a vote of thanks to our thoughtful professors who take this hectic time to spend a few minutes making out a last-minute test. We feel that with all the bowl games over the holidays, one part of the football picture has been overlooked-the football teams which compiled perfect 0-0 records this year. Why not have a game for the two worst teams and call it something like the Lemon Bowl? We take the courage to mention this only after USC has shown itself a potent foot ball power and, at the moment, not likely to be in contention for such a post-season honor. Ambasador Winthrop Brown, who ought to know what our foreign policies are even if no one else does, gave an interesting and enlightening speech last Friday. In the usual fashion of Russell House Room 207 speeches, it was punctuated with the music of bouncing billiard balls emanat ing from the game room above. We suggest thicker floors or rubber billiard balls. In as much as this is the last issue before finals, a new semester and hopefully a new policy for this beloved and hectic corner of The Gamecock (when they don't disown us), we would like to extend our heartiest Cockeyed wishes for a Happy New Semester. We would send these greetings solely to our Cockeyed readers but we would like for someonc to read them. We expand on this theme of gross generosity with the hope that every one passes all his finals.

GERALD BAKER URAY JOHN 'PEECKSEN Joke Th Fraternity Juke Box A pledge class project which started as a joke and turned into an embarrassing situation recently netted Sigma Nu fraternity a new juke box and 60 free records. The project began when WCOS radio started a contest for Icee cups. The actives of the fraternity thought about trying for the prize, the choice of a juke box or a motorcycle,' but decided they didn't have much of a chance. They decided to give the pledge class a chance to benefit the fra ternity and work together. The 20 people in the pledge class, along with six actives, began hunting the Icee cups. They were told that about 35,000 cups were M, Open Frida 'Til/ 7t Turned Into A J Pledge C With 14,9 sold in Columbia in one week.. The contest began during the S. C. State Fair, so the boys fol lowed the crowds to the fair ground. From 9 until midnight each (lay of the fair they collected cups. They got quite a few stares picking the cups up as soon as people dropped them, and the usually smug Carolina fraternity men were very embarrassed. During the fair they collected about 1,000 cups a day but the actives thought they had no chance of winning. Their fears were real ized when they heard the rumor that a man in Greenville had col lected 20,000. They also heard that they had competition from a .. .....~. ~ A.

On the day the contest ended they took their 14,000 cups to the radio station in 15 sacks. They were somewhat heartened with the reaction of the disk jockey, Woody Windham, who was speechless. The next highest entry was made by a Columbia woman and her son, who had 2,000 cups. The com petitor in Greenville entered 1,200 cups. Robbie Johnston, president of the fraternity, said the effort was well worth the work and got the class working together and was a lot of fun.
