Furman Glee Club Gave Concert at Columbia College Thursday Night. The Glee Club of Furman Uni versity gave a concert at Columbia College Thursday night. Quite a number of men of Carolina went out for the occasion. At the request of the club an an nouncement was made in the mess hall at supper Wednesday night, telling of the concert and saying that the price would be 25 cents. In response a large number of Carolina men went out to hear the concert. When they got to the door they were informed that the price was fifty cents, and consequently had to fork up half a dollar, to gain admission to the hall. The men of Carolina do not mind paying fifty cents for an evening's entertainment, but they do mind having the price raised after an announcenient that it would be but twenty-five cents. Delegates Are Elected for Meeting of South Carolina College Press. At a meeting of the joint assem bly of the Euphradian and Clario sophic literary societies last Satur lay night, D. C.

Hart, business manager of The Car olinian, wvho is an executive commit teenman, will also attend as represen tatives of the University. Want Library Kept Open an Hour Later. Much discussion is on as to the suggestion that a petition be sent to the library authorities requesting the keeping open of the library unt 11 Not Coach )tte, a well known author declined the offer to coach Arrangements are on foot ii o'clock at night instead of io, as at present. The library at Columbia University keeps open until the for nier hour. If one has to do a heavy amount of study in the library at night the 1o o'clock limit stops him too soon. The argument is ad vanced against the change that stu dents should go to bed by 10:30, and also the extra expense. As to these the majority of students are tip until after ii o'clock and the increased cost would be little. This change would be beneficial in par ticular to the law men, who are often required to work later than the academics. Euphradians Elect Representatives for Gonzales Contest. The Euphradian Society last Sat urday night elected J. B. Murphy, of Clifton, Ariz.; J. C. Wrightson, of Spartanburg, and F. W. McM. Woodrow of Columbia as represen tatives for this society in the Gon zales contest. The contest will be held in the chapel at an early date. The Gonzales oratorical contest is always one of the big events of the college year and it is considered quite an honor to be one of the speakers. F. W. Cappelmann Replaces James Allan, Jr., in Southern Contest James Allan, Jr., one of the Eu phradian's representatives in the Southern oratorical preliminary, finding it impossible to be a contest ant, F. William Cappelmatn of Charleston was elected last Satur (lay night to fill his place. Mr. Cappelmann is a gifted speaker. The University was represented last year at the University of Vir ginia, where the contest was held, by Alan Johnstone, Jr., who mache quite a sp)lendlid showving. Basket Ball Team Returned From Trip Yesterday. Tfhe basket ball team returned from a trip to Newberry and Wof ford yesterday. Clemson was sched uiled, but the game was cancelled. FACULTY CHANGES CHAPEL MEETING HOUR Advanced from 8:45 to 9:45 O'Clock, Beginning Yesterday. TOWN STUDENTS CAN ATTEND REGULARLY NOW Classes Meeting at 9 O'Clock Will Meet at 8:45 and 10 O'Clock. Classes Mondays at 8:45. Chapel exercises have been moved up from 8:45 to 9:45. This was done so that those students who live out in town, as well as those who are not students could attend chapel daily if they so desire. This makes it necessary that there be a class period before chapel, which will be from 8:45 to 9:45, to take the place of the 9 to 10 period. On Monday morning all classes meeting from io to i i will meet from 8:45 to 9:45, so that the 10 to i i hour may be left open for student body meeting. This is something new here and, while it is an experiment, with the co-operation of the stu dents it will be a success. The rule went into effect yesterday. M. C. Foster Will Enter Southern Contest in Place of W. H. Scott. M. C. Foster will replace W. H. Scott in the Southern Oratorical preliminary as representative of the Clariosophic Society. Mr. Foster is a new man at Carolina this year, but is a good speaker. He was formerly at Wofford college. Prof. H. C. Davis Spoke in Chapel Thursday Evening. Prof. H. C. Davis of the depart ment of English spoke in chapel Thursday evening on "Forms of Humor and Nonsense." This was a continuance of the Thursday night extension course offered each winter by the University of South Caro lina for the students and the citizens of Columbia. Prof. Davis' lecture was delight ful and a distinct variance in theme from any of the previous lectures. He opened up, so to speak, a line of thought wvhich proved to be most pleasing. His speech was a master ly effort and dleliveredl in a very charming wvay. The evening was not only instructive but thoroughly enjoyable to those wvho wvere so for tunate na tno enresent.
