MEDAL OFFERED IN GYMNASIUM CONTEST Director Van Meter Has Or ganized Training Squad One of Carolina's supporters has offered a $25 medal to the member of the gymnasium class scoring the most points in a contest to be held in April.

Besides the gymnasium contest there . will be organized a "Twilight League" which will consist of six indoor baseball teams. Match games will be played between the various teams from seven to eight p. m. dur ing the spring months in place of the regular gymnasium class. Prof. Rucker has the follow ing speaking engagements: Spring Hill, Calhoun county, Saturday, March 23. Pamlico. Florence county, Saturday. March 30. COOPERATIVE PLAN MEETS WITH FAVOR Technical Students to Get First Hand Knowledge Prof. W. E. Rowe's coopera tive course has met with much favor from both the faculty and - the trustees. It is proposed to allow technical students to work one-half of their time during their attendance at the university. To do this the scheme is to work two men on each job. The first month one will work and the other attend the university; at the end of a month they will alternate, ro tating, thus at the end of each month until they have finished school. The university repeats the subjects taken and the scheme operates the same as having two sections of the same subject. Cooperative courses in en gineering are not new and are already well developed in a - number of our universities and without a single exception are 4 very successful. Cincinnati university started ten years ago with about thirty men and at the present time there are about five-hundred included in the cooperative engineering courses in that institution. The cooperative scheme will assist many worthy young men - to secure an education, and many -will be spending half their time at home while taking the prescribed course at the university. Of course the stu dents who enter this depart ment will be graduates from ac credited high schools or - will have the required fourteen units. Industrial concerns agreeing to use two, or more, men under the cooperative plan will be expected to start them in at the bottom, pay them at the minimum wage scale, and promote them as they deserve. Industry and education should be closer together in this State. We also need all of our technically trained men here at home. Putting these young men in touch with the in dustries of the State will be of incalculable future benefit to the commonwealth. There will be no spring holi day at Carolina this year. It is customary for the faculty to grant one day during Easter week as a holiday. It was re cently decided however not to 'prolong school to June 19 to make up for the week lost at Christmas but to end on regu lar schedule time, June 12, and do away with the spring holi day.
