MANY CONTESTS OPEN. TO COLLEGE ORATORS Handsome Medals and Great . Honor to Winners. Ih 'addition to the Roddey Medal Debate which was won la?t .December' by Mr. J. D. Griffith, and the U. D. C. essay contest wo.i by Mr. E. L. Layton in Jinuary, and the State contest preliminary which is to be held Monday evening, there are var ious other contests yet to be held;this year. The triangular debate fur nishes and opportunity for four men to distinguish themselves. The query is, "Resolved, . That the government should own and operate all railroads (steam and electric) doing interstate busi ness.", Carolina sends two teams of two each to the contests. The affirmative team meets Ten nessee at Athens, Ga., while the negative team engages the Georgians at Knoxville, Tenn. The final contest is to be held the first Saturday night in May. The contest for the Gonzales medal is open to all students. This contest is held late in the year and it is meant chiefly for seasoned orators. Mr. Haddon Johnson. of the Euphradian So ciety won this contest last year. The biggest contest of the year is the Southern oratorical contest. Carolina has always stood high in this contest, having won first place once and second place three times in the last four years. This contests offers fame to the man who will represent Carolina. A handsome gold medal is offered to the winner. "Divine Comedy" Presented. President Currell delivered a series of three lectures Tuesday, Wednesday, and T h u r s d a y nights in the city Y. M. C. A. on Dante's "Divine Comedy." The lectures were illustrated with stereoptican slides, and spiced with the numerous witti cisnis which characterize I)r. Currell's speeches. The audi torium was filled to its capacity each night. The lectures were given for the benefit of the Children's Clinic. The first lecture, Tuesday night was on the Inferno. The speaker gave a fiery description of Hell as seen by Dante. I)an te's conception was that the in fernal regions were divided into circles and that each dlivision provided punishment for sin according to its greatness. Wednesday night Purgatory was pictured with its extortions and writhing characters. Thursday night the subject was Paradise, the last division of the "Divine Comedy." Dr. Currell prefaced this lecture with a sketch of Dan te's life and the conditions, po litical and social, that existed at that time. LECONTE WILL BE STEAM HEATED Trustees Arranged for Con struction of Fence. At the meeting of the trustees last Thursday it was decided to put steam heat in LeContj col lege as was originally intehded. Owing to the small amount of money appropriated by the Leg islature for the heating of this building it was thought for a while that Thornwell college would get the benefit instead. The University architects calcu lated that to put in a complete heating and ventilating system such as is found in Davis college would cost more than has been provided for it, while Thornwell could be properly heated with the sum appropriated. However, the trustees decided to install the. fixtures in LeConte, but not put in as big ventilating system as that in Davis. Steps were taken also for the immediate construction of the fence around the athletic field and a grandstand. The work has been put in charge of Prof. Coleman and Prof. Holmes. Sev eral sets of plans were submitted and among others that of Mr. Sompayrac, one of the Universi ty architects, also an alumnus of the institution. The work is to be rushed forward with all pos sible speed in order that the va rious athletic contests may take place on the home field. The constrOction of the fence this year seemed doubtful for a time, but after the appropriation by the Legislature it was a cer tainty that Davis field would be the arena of warfare. The only thing that has delayed the work was waiting for a meeting of the trustees so that definite action could be taken. Now that the trustees have met and formulat ed working plans, the fence and grandstand will soon add to the attraction of Davis field. Editorial Room. The editorial room which has been secured by Dr. Green is now vacated and waiting for im provements. It is the intention to have the room painted and place desks and files in it. This work will probably be (done with in the next week, and the editors will find it a great convenience.
