RUSSIAN SITUATION
SUBJECT OF LECTURE
Dr. Edwin Greenlaw Ad
dresses Carolina Stu
dent Body
The Russian situation-the
riddle of the war-was dis
cussed Wednesday night in the
chapel of the University of
South Carolina by Dr. Edwin
Greenlaw, professor of English
at the University of North
Carolina, a speaker who has
added to the purely academic
study of Russia a mass of ac-'
tual experiences and observa
tions made while visiting that
country.
Russian history, Russian lit
erature and Russian economics
and social life have been given
close study by Dr. Greenlaw.
His lectures dealing with the
facts of the situation in that
revolution torn land have been
delivered throughout North
Carolina and other Southern
States and have proven very
popular, both with critical stu
dents of the situation and with
the general public. The back
ground of the revolution, the
elements which made it possi
ble, was sketched by Dr.
Greenlaw.
Dr. Greenlaw's special field
in scholarship is the Renais
sance. *He has been ranked as
"the most distinguished Spen
cer scholar of today," by Prof.
Cory in his monumental work
on that author. He is the au
thor of "A Syllabus of English
Literature," a text book which
is widely used in colleges and
universities; "National Ideals
in British and American Liter
ature," and other books of sim
ilar scope.

TENNESSEE VICTOR IN
TRIANGULAR DEBATE
,CONTINt'-I FHI4 M PI \ E'I. i -.1
J. E. Norwood, J. J. Stevenson
and W. W. Wannamaker. The
judges, A. C. Flora, Professors
H. C. Davis, George McCutch
en, J. N. Frierson and E. M.
Rucker, decided in favor of
Tennessee, the vote being four
to one.
In the debate this year Ten
nessee won first place, Florida
second and Carolina last.
Although Carolina lost out
in both debates the debaters
deserve to be congratulated.
On account of unsettled condi
tions prevailing on the campus
the debaters could not be ex
pected to prepare as good de
bates as they would if things
had been in a more settled con
dition. The negative team was
especially handicapped in that
Shealy was transferred from
the aflirmative to the negative
side of the debate a few days
before the contest was held.
We all agree, however, that
Carolina must wake up if she
would keep up her debating
reputation. - The debaters must
emphasize preparation. This
was Tennessee's strong fort.
The Tennessee team employed
a Ph D. to instruct them in
debating for about two weeks
before the contest was held. It
is not necessary for Carolina to
do this. We have a chair of
public speaking under a com
petent instructor, and if the
men in college will take this
course, and will take more in
terest in debating Carolina can
put out a winning team.

"Race Horse Crawford" Now

A letter was recently receiv
ed from one of Carolina's old
students, W. P. Crawford, com
monly known as "Race Horse
Crawford."
He is now electrician on the
U. S. S. Utah. As some will
remember he enlisted as a hos
pital apprentice. He has
changed his rating twice, from
hospital apprentice to fireman,
and from fireman to electri
cian.
He says "I am still interested
in everything Carolina does. I
read with interest every bit of
knowledge I can get hold of
concerning Carolina."
In his letter Mr. Crawford is
very anxious to hear of the
outcome of football and bas
ketball games (during the last
season.
Mr. Crawford's address is.
