WRIGHT (Student Body) Edgefield Columbia, S. C., March 7, 1914 Twenty-nine to sixteen. Not bad. What do we do when we see our "dip" fading. Special--ize of course. That basketball team seems to be kind of fond of those State championships. The rooting of a certain "Chief Justice" will be missed on the baseball field this year. It is reported that Miss Very cute and Miss Simpleton rival Evelyn in doing the tango stunts. * ** Old economy succeeded in snatching away the Law build ing when we almost had it on the campus. HOT WATER FACILITIES. The facilities for hot water at the gymnasium are totally inad equate. As a rule, after five o'clock in the afternoon, hot wat er cannot be had. The single boiler supplies all the hot water attainable to the five hundred students on the campus. With comparatively small expense another could be installed. During the seasons that ath letic teams are practicing every afternoon this limited supply of hot water is insufficient for more than half that desire or need it. Carolina has grown to over five hundred enrollment, and the same volume boiler is in use to day that was used when there were hardly half' that number here. The present plant cannot supply this increased demand. An addition to the plant will become a necessity when the Brooklyn baseball club arrives to draw upon it also. Such an en largement would add greatly to the comfort and well being of the students. FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS. Many universities and colleges are offering fellowships and scholarships yearly. These are generally awarded by competi tive examinations. Some of these will very nearly pay the expens es of one at the university or col lege awarding them, while oth ers represent only a nominal sum. All help not a iittle in de fraying expenses at these va rious institutions. The holder of one of these scholarships can with a very little work meet his expenses for the year. There are fellowships to Harvard, Yale, University of Wisconsin and oth ers that amount to from three to five hundred dollars a year. Many Carolina men have taken courses in narthern universities and colleges after graduating here. Anyone who is thinking of pursuing studies after gradu ating, would do well to consider the various scholarships and fel lowships offered by the institu tion which he is thinking of en tering. It would not occasion much work or time for one to try for some one of the scholarships, and if successful would mean a great deal to him, There is no reason why many at Carolina should not avail themselves of these opportunities. THE BROOKLYN FEDERALS. We at Carolina will have for several weeks the novel experi ence of witnessing the activit'es of a big league baseball team in training camp right here on our own ball park. Many of us would prefer having among us the Ath letics, Cubs or New York Giants; but it happens that they chose other places for their training camps. There will be, however, among the Brooktyn Tiptops many who have long been famil iar figures in the baseball world. -By the agreement under which they are coming, they will have possession of the field until four o'clock in the afternoon except on such days that we have games scheduled. They will not inter fere with our own team's prac tice whatever, and tne rqnt paid by the club will help the athletic association, which is at present a little insolvent. We also un derstand that the leaguers will have the grounds put in good con dition before the team is brought here. This will take another item off of the expense account of the athletic association. Many of us will, no doubht spend all of the time afforded by vacant periods on Davis Field watching the big leaguers at work. There was a little disap pointment on the . campus when it was learned that "Big Six", would not think of leaving the Giants to take charge of the Brooklyns. We would have liked very much to see the "Grand Old Man" in action here. Sever al games might be arranged be tween our own team and the leaguers. Everyone at the University is looking forward to their arrival, and will give them a hearty re ception. LIBRARY MOVEMENT WELL UNDER WAY People's Forum Discusses Pro vision for M iintenance. The movement for a Carnegie library in Columbia, the location of which will in all probability be on the campus, was fairly gotten under way on Tuesday night at a meeting of the People's Forum, held in the Richland county court house. A committee consisting of H. T. Thompson, T. S. Bryan and R. M. Kennedy were ap pointed to push the movement forward. Dr. George A. Wau chope presided over the meeting. The most serious question that confronted the meeting was to provide a plan for maintenance of the library once it was built and opened. Prof. W. K. Tate said that if the Carnegie dona tion was $100,000 the citizens of Columbia must agree to raise $10,000 a year to maintain it. The other speakers agreed that the library should have popular sup port and should be a representa tive of community sentiment. Mr. R. M. Kennedy, in set tling the negro problem in re spect to the library, read letters from several South Carolina towns where Carnegie libraries are maintained, showing that there was no stipulation that negroes should use them.
