CAROLINA STUDENTS
FORM OVERALL CLUB j i
"
University Glee Club and Varsity ;
Nine Planning to Make Trips
in Blue Denim.
The State, 14th.
The preliminary steps in the organ-;
ization of an overall club to include ;
the over 300 students at tne univer-j
* sity of South Carolina were taken;
.yesterday when such a club was in- j
Kiorsed by the student body and a !
. ommittee appointed to draw up the \
--articles of agreement under which I
every member of the club pledges I
"himself to wear overalls until the;
price of clothing again becomes!
"reasonable." The motion favoring j,
the organization of such a club was j
passed without objection at the meet- j
ing of the student body yesterday j
. morning, tkr committee to make its 1
report and the final organization to!
be completed at a similar meeting to
'lay. ^ i
The only exceptions contemplated ;
in the preliminary outline of the
irticles c?f agreement will permit the
students to wear ordinary clot lies on |
Sunday to church and also when mak-1
in<r the "social calls so necessary to j
student life." Even these exceptions j
seem likely to be omitted from the (
i
final draft since they might defeat I
the purpose of the organization oy j
forcing the student to buy a newsuit
under present conditions. The J
committee is also conferring with 1
Oapt. \V. E. Duvall to include the)
members of the reserve officers' j
training corps unit in the club.!
i
These include the large majority of <
the members of the freshmen and j
sophomore classes, who are required ]
by the university rules to take mili- j
tary training and are. therefore, j
wearing the conventional khaki in-:
stead of the ''civilian clothes" whir'n :
the other students are now planning
i
to discard. !
Among the especially unique features
of the club as planned will be
the discarding of the conventional
liv tho university glee
dub and quartet in its coming tour
of the state in favor of the official
"blue denim." The varsity baseball
team is also planning to wear the
overalls on its tour, should the club
be organized as sketched yesterday.
Members of the committee, which
is to make all arrangements for the
formation of the clubs, are: O. C.
Blackmon, B. Poliakotf and Hugh
Hanna. j
