OTT MOORE TO RE CEIVE TRYOUT Former Carolina Star Goes to Join Savannah Club. Ott Moore, better known as ':Country," remembered by many at the. University as the star second baseman for Carolina of two years ago, passed through Columbia on Wednesday en route to Savannah, where he will have a tryout with Perry Lipe's In dians. Ott Moore was on Carolina's varsity squad during the college seasons of 1910, 1911 and 1912. In the last season he was especi ally strong afield and literally set things on fire with the bat. His batting figures for the season of 1912 were .413, and this is good especially when it is considered that this was made against such teams as Virginia, Lafayette, Penn. State, North Carolina, Washington & Lee and other teams of like strength. Everyone who knows Ott's ability as a baseball player feel sure that he will land a job with the Indians. A Literary Club Organized Thursday evening in the pub lication room of Flinn Hall a meeting was held to complete the organization of the Papyrus Club. This is the third meeting of the club and it is now definitely or ganized with E. R. Jeter as president. M. W. Price vice pres ident, and E. S. Waring secreta ry and treasurer. The Papyrus Club is a literary organization and has as its object the fostering of literary endeav or on the campus. It is not a third literary society, neither is it to be as exclusive a body as was The Scribes. Meetings will be held throughout the session at intervals of about two weeks, at which the different members will read original articles. These will be followed by a free, informal discussion. The entire method of procedure at these meetings is intended to be one of informal ease. The Papyrus Club is the result of the efforts of a few men who have felt the need of organizing the aspirants along literary lines and much interest is being shown by the charter members. There are at present only eight members of the club, but this number is to be increased as soon as organization is perfected. The charter members besides the above mentioned officers are: S. L. Latimer, M. B. Boulware, L. C. Johnson, Haddon Johnson and H. E. Danner. As has been mentioned, the purpose of the club is to provide a means of meeting together for informal discussion along literary lines for those who are so inclined. PROF. CHAMBERLAYNE ADDRESSES TEACHERS Evils of Conservatism the Sub ject of His Talk. On last Saturday Prof. Cham berlayne gave an interesting ad dress before the Richland County Teacher's Association. He announced that possibly he would arouse some objection, as he thought that each teacher snould every day and on every recitation try to arouse a feeling or deep discontent and dissatis faction in the mind of each pu pil, and even in the teacher too, because we are all prone to ac cept and cling to preconceived opinions and fixed dogmas and adopt and follow the habits and ideas of our grandfathers. This he condemned. The teacher should strike out, oppose and contradict conservatism. Many things are useless when conserv ed. This whole world is drugged or asphyxiated with too much conservatism. For this reason, too much conservatism, all phas es of life are retarded, society is almost ruined. This spirit of conservatism forbids striking out boldly; it favors the slow-rot pol icy, and tends to destroy and re tard truth. In the near future conservatism will not control. Ideas of right and wrong change with each generation. One year now shows a greater change in society than 50 years did in the days of our forefathers. History must be re-written with each gen eration. There is no such thing as completed knowledge. The idea that no man has a right to criticise or suggest a change un til he has a better system for this change is entirely wrong; such a plan precludes progress in thought. Habits and ideals do and properly should change with the times: "times change; men change. " World Problem Studies. Realizing that a clear knowl edge of the progress of the na tions of the world is essential in the development of broad minded, unprejudiced men, the Y. M. C. A. cabinet has with care and thought selected four courses of study, which will treat with world problems and their solu tion. The courses are: "South American Problems," led by Prof. Reed Smith; "The New Era in Asia," led by Prof. Gee; "Apologetics of Modern Mis sions," led by Dr. Reavis; and "Islam, the Challenge of Faith, " led by Mr. J. N. Montgomery. Scores of men have already en listed, but it is hoped that many more will do so before their next meeting. Do you Take the Bird,?
