CLARIOSOPHIC SOCIETY In the meeting of the Clariosophic Society last Saturday night, the busi ness was carried on as usual, in great style. The declaimers, orators, readers and debators did their work with such ability that the Literary Critic found it almost impossible to find any flaw in the exercises. About the most important business which was carried on during the eve ning was the election of the two as sistant marshals for the Roddey Medal Contest. Quite a number of distin guished gentlemen were nominated. Their names will not be here enumer ated, for space would hardly permit. However, the long and short of the whole matter is that Russell and Gary were elected. The program for the evening was as follows: Declaimers-Camack, Caldwell. Reader-Sanders, C. M. Orators-Bradley, Hiers. Debators Affirmative: Rector, Sullivan, Buie. Negative: McMurry, Chitty, Clink scales. Query: "Resolved, That tariff re vision is better than free trade." In this debate, after a very heated discussion, the affirmative was de clared victorious. EUPHRADIAN SOCIETY The programme for last Saturday evening was enjoyed a great deal by all the members of society, and it is a 3 subject of gratification to. all the old CS. members to see the amount of interest c4 the new men are taking in their society work. The society has added a large num ber of new men to its roll, and the new members are beginning to show up well. It is the sincere hope of all the members that the new men will continue the good start they have made, and before very long the society will real) a bountiful harvest. The debate last Saturday evening, "Resolved, That Congress should re quire corporations doing an interstate business to procure federal licenses," was won by the negative, represented by Messrs. J. H. Johnson and J. H. Brown. At a joint session of the two societies on Saturday evening Mr. I. F. Belser tendered his resignation as. Assistant Business Manager of The Carolinian, and Mr. A. D. Oliphant was elected as his successor. Following are the appointments for one and two weeks hence: For November 28: Readers - Corothers, McFarland and Hemingway. Declaimers-Mitchell, J. J. Bush and H-oey. Subject for extemp)oraneous speak ers-" Theodore Roosevelt-Rex." Weekly Orator--Belser. Debaters Affirmative: R. M. Cooper and Dil lingham. Negative: Oliphant and Palmer. Query: "Resolved, That the pro tective tariff should be abolished." For December 5. - Readers--Henderson, Hazard and McColl. Declaimers--Ross, R. E. Hana and Bolt Subject for extemporaneous speak r-"The Danger of Coti:ealed Weapons." Weekly Orator-Moffatt. Debaters Affirmative: James and Hammond. Negative: Carter and Parrott. Query: "Resolved, That trade unions have been beneficial to the la boring classes." THE Y. M. C. A. There is one department of the col lege that does not hold the place of predominance that it should at the University of South Carolina. This is the College Y. M. C. A. This organ ization is self-supporting and has held its place with all other departments of the College without any outside aid. Every student of the institution should take an active part in the work of the organization, for it is one of the most important departments in college. The boys are required to go to church every Sunday, and it would not be a )ad idea if the faculty of Carolina would let attendance at the Y. M. C. A. exercises count in place of tile former. This would influence the boys to attend tile Y. M. C. A., and then they would take interest in the work carried on. All the big universities and colleges have a Y. M. C. A. secretary, who carries on the religious work, and it has added much to tile situation and condition of the students. Carolina is deficient in this line, and the organiza tion is putting forth all its efforts to succeed in getting a secretary next year. Last year 'there was'some little misunderstanding and the Legislature did not donate the money for the see retary. The members of the Y. M. C. A. are sincere in their work, and with the backing of the student body, the trustees and the faculty, they hope to meet with success this coling ses sion of the Legislature. We all see how a physical instructor helps out at a college and keeps ath letics oil the move. Just the same way, but two-fold better, would a secretary be most beneficial to the University. There should be such a man at this institution, and the time is ripe at present. If all will unite in the cause tile golden opportunity will not slip by this time. Clemson, our sister in stitution, has a secretary of whom she boasts and who has done much good. Carolina, too, is going to have a sec retary if nothing prevents this time. NO EXCURSION TO CHARLESTON As tile required numnber could not be made upl for tile special train over tihe Coast Line to Charleston and re tulrn, tile football team wvill leave thlis afternloonl at 3 :50 over tile Southlernl accomplanliedl by a number of boys. Tile excursionl would have beenl a b)ig thling for tile UTniversity anld wvould have added mulhch to tile comn fort of tile teaml and tile other boys. Tile team will probably stop at tile St. JohIn's Hotel, whlere thley stoppedC( last year. Carolina's rooters will b)e out in full force, althloughl tile excursion wvould hlave added many more to tile list. 01(1 Hoss Sale, No. 4 East Legare: coal, wood, pens, in1k, tablets, shloes, and clothlcs PRESIDENT MOORE PLEASED WITH MEETING IN WASHINGTON President Moore was in Washing ton last week in attendance upon the National Association of State Uni versities. This was the thirteenth meeting of the association, but the first in which the University has been represented. This shows that our University has risen to the position where it is regarded as one of the leading Universities of our country. President Moore reports a very suc cessful meeting. There were many prominent Universities iepresented. Among those present from the South ern Universities were President Vener able of North Carolina, President Abercrombie of Alabama, and many others prominent in educational circles in the South. FLORENCE CANCELS GAME. SCRUBS PLAY SUMTER. The scrub team will not play the Florence High School, but will pull off a game with the Sumter High School in the Gamecock. City Thurs lay morning at 11 :30 o'clock. The Presbyterian High School of Florence called off the game, and Manager Cooper succeeded in getting the Suiter boys to give the scrubs a game. Last season the Sumter bunch was defeated, and the second team of the University will put ip a hard fight to wrest victory from the Game cocks. Sumter has a better team than she had -last- s will make the University hustle, ac cording to their saying. Carolina is much stronger than last year, and the bunch is going to show the Sumter people and their loyal college sup porters that they know a little about football, too.
