PRIZES OFFERED TO COLLEGE STUDENTS Awarded by President Commit. tee on Prison Labor. Mr. Adolph Lewison, presi dent of the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor, has offered three prizes for the best thesis on phases of the prison problem to students in the col leges and universities of the United States. The prizes are as follows: one prize of $50.00 for a master's thesis; two prizes of $25.00 each for undergraduate essays. It is hoped that the Carolina students who are interested in this subject will avail them selves of this opportunity and compete for these prizes. The subject affords a wonderful op portunity for research work in the field of sociology. Those who seek degrees this year may use their papers as graduate essays. A bulletin giving forth more of the particulars may be found at the library. State-Wide Amendment. The following article came from the Intercollegiate Prohi bition Association of which Caro lina became a member last year. "The recent victory of the state-wide amendment in South Carolina is a source of intense gratification to the college stu dents of that state because of the part they played in its. achicv3ment. When the state wide vote was decided upon, a: number of the students wrote to the National Intercollegiate Pro hibition Association for assis tance in organization for the fight. In answer to this appeal the I. P. A. sent its Southern Field Secretary, W. M. Bunts, into the state and organized local and state branches, which in turn got into the fight "with all fours" and have been of i large practical service. Indi vidually and collectively, these vigorous Southerners tore into the liquor interest all summer. Now they are naturally very hap py, and are already p.anning a stronger association and a more vigorous preparation for the coming natoin-wide struggle. "This participation by the, national I. P. A. in a state-wvide fight is only in keeping with the present aggressive policy of the organization to play an efficient part in every immediate strug gle, as well as to prepare its members for future battles. Thus the present state-wide fight in Ohio saw four secretar ies sent into the state to help: the Ohio I. P. A in achievement of its slogan "1,000 Ohio college; students in the fight." And the states which are to vote in 1916 are already scheduled for ag gressive organization." THE LIBRARY ASSO CIATION FORMED Prof. R. M. Kennedy, University Librarian, President.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE ENJOYS HALLOWE'EN Masked Partners Formed Ghost-Like Effect. A number of Carolina boys enjoycd the Hallowe'en party given last night at Columbia College. The parlors were light ed with japanese lanterns. Cords of fruit, candy, and fllow ers gave a checkered appearance. The figures were painted and masked in likenesses of numerous historical and Indian characters. There were weird and grotesque players who looked like appari tions. At ten o'clock everybody un masked and partners could see whom they were promenading. However, these who frequent the parlors of Columbia College could easily find their particular friends, perhaps by touch of hand. Gamecock Victories.
