ORATORS TO SPEAK IN STATE PRELIMINARY Euphradians and Clariosopics Who will Try for Coveted Honor. Preparations are already being made for the preliminary to se lect a speaker to represent the University at the state oratori cal meet to be held at Rock Hill A pril 30. Each society will hold a pre liminary to select its three rep resentatives, who will speak in chapel, where the University's representative will be chosen. In the Euphradian preliminary the following men will speak: J. S. McInnes, Haddon Johnson, P. K. Smith, D. S. Polier, D. S. Jones, J. G. Dinkins, H. C. Brearley, L. B. Harrison. The following Clariosophics will try out: H. O. Hanna, J. A. Tolbert, 0. F. Crow, W. J. Scott, E. S. Gambrell. For the past 5 years the Uni versity has made a very strong showing in the state oratorical contest, and no doubt from the above mentioned men a repre sentative will be found who will more than uphold Carolina's past reputation. College Spirit. We often hear of college spirit. I am certain we have as much of this vital force---since it is a force if rightly directed---as any stu dent body of our size in the coun try. Now, we have an opportu nity to show whether we are merely bubbling or really have the interest we profess. Our baseball season is ap proaching. A few weeks and the newne? of life that comes with spring *ill seek outlet. There is no better way than through a wholesome, deep, and active con tern in baseball on the part of every member of the University. It is to the advantage of every individual student and the Uni versity as a whole. But with the present conditton of our athletic field our spring athletics are bound to be injured. What will visiting track teams, visiting ball teams think of this condition? Students! think of that impres sion made on the minds of stu dents and prospective students who shall have occasion to visit us in the next three or four months. That is all aside from the demoralizing effect it has up on our own student body. The student body has asked the legislature to give enough money to buy the material, and has pledged itself to make good the erection of a fence and a grand stand. Promises are good, but something more concrete would have more weight. If every stu dent would give as much as two ($2.00) dollars, with a small ap propriation from th lsature CAROLINA ALUMNI TO HOLD MEETING To Discuss Formation of Alum ni Athletic Association. After the meeting of the gen eral alumni association Foun ders' Day, steps will be taken for the organization of an alumni athletic association. At colleges where athletics are most success ful they are controlled by the alumni. Hence it is the purpose of this meeting to form an asso ciation which will bringthe gra duates scattered thru the State into closer touch with the ath letic situation at their alma ma ter. DR. VENABLE SPEAKS HERE AFTER EXAMS "Radium and Radio-Activity" His Subject. As was announced, Dr. Fran cis P. Venable will deliver a se ries of lectures on "Radium and Radio-Activity" here, beginning February 8. Dr. Venable was formerly the president of the University of North Carolina and comes as an exchange professor from that institution to the University of South Carolina. He is among the greatest scientists of Amer ica and besides being a member of a number of European scien tific societies, was, in 1905, elect ed president of the American Chemical Society. He has writ ten four text books on chemical subjects which are considered authoritative. Owing to ill health Dr. Vena ble was forced to resign the pre sidency but has still maintained his relation as professor with the University of N. C. This has thus kept him in close touch with this University. Also his father was professor of mathe matics here from 1858 to 1862. Dr. Venable will give a public lecture in chapel on "University Research," on February 10. J. W. Wilbanks '14, of Union, was on the campus Tuesday. we could put our field in good shape. I set two dollars as the standard because some students, who, as I happen to know, are not burdened with money, offer ed to start a list with that amount. There are others who c.ould give more. Even the money spent by the students for car fare to the college games, played away from the campus, would go a good way toward building a fence. You will be called upon to con tribute, every student and all members of the faculty. This is an opportunity to show whether we have genuine spirit or can be stirred only when something exciting is going on. R. W. Wade.
