STUDENTS WELCOME BLANKET FEE PLAN College Activities to be Put on Firm Basis by New Plan All expenses of the different college activities at the Univer sity of South Carolina will be provided for by a blanket fee of $1* per student, if the plan adopted by the university stu dent body meets with the ap proval of the board of trustees. The plan or a similar plan has already been adopted by the university faculty. The money collected under the blanket fee plan will be distributed as fol lows: Flinn Hall, $2; the Clariosophic and Euphradian literary societies, $1; The Gamecock and The Carolinian, $2.50; the social cabinet, $1; ahtletics, $6; The Garnet and Black, $2; sinking fund, $1.50. This association is to be known as the Student associa tion, and one representative will be chosen to represent each organization, who shall have a voice in the distribution of the sinking fund and to see that his organization gets its pro rata share. This plan was first proposed to avoid the continual solicit ing among the students for funds and to avoid the accu mulation of more debts on the heads of the members of the various organizations. In this way the united support of the student body for every college activity will be assured and there will be no financial em barrassments in giving the va rious receptions and dances for the students, in staging the va rious athletic games, etc. By this plan provision was made whereby an itemized re port of all expenditures of every organization will be ren dered. This will prevent bad management, which has caused so many of the college activi ties to go in debt. A number of efforts have been made heretofore to get a blanket fund plan like this adopted, but this is the first successful attempt. The plan will have to be adopted by the b)oard of trustees before it can go into effect. Kirby Smith answered the call of his local board and is now at Camp Jackson. H. ID. Steadman, the presi dent of the senior class, left Wednesday morning for his home at Inman, where he will await orders from the navy. He has enlisted in the Naval R eserves. CERCLE FRANCAIS HAS DELIGHTFUL SESSION Captain Pierret of French Advisory Mission Makes Address The lecture of Captain Pier ret, chief of the French advis ory mission at Camp Jackson, given in the chapel of the Uni versity of South Carolina last Wednesday night was very modestly but forcefully given before a large audience. In his introductory address Captain Pierret gave the audience a brief idea of life at the front with its witticisms and its trials. After this three reels of moving pictures of the move ments of the French troops in the Saloniki sector with a de scription of the big guns used, barbed wire entanglements and trench warfare were shown. After the pictures the meet ing was turned into a business session of the Cercle Francais when a number of reports of various committees were ren dered. Among these was the report of the committee which drew up resolutions of sym p6i1y of the cercle for Prof. John P. Thomas in his bereave ment in the death of his wife. The most important report rendered was that of the com mittee on extension work. This committee reported a plan whereby the "Salon du Cercle Francais" will be established on the campus of the university and to be open to enlisted French soldiers on Wednes days and Saturdays from 4 to 10 o'clock and to officers on Mondays, -Tuesdays and Thurs (lays at the same time. This salon will be in the form of a club room where French news papers, magazines and books will be furnished and will serve as a place for recreation. The committee on orphans, of which Mrs. E. W. Robertson is chairman, rendered a favor able report and plans will be drawn up whereby a commit tee on fatherless children will be appointed within the cercle which will attempt to interest the people of the State in adlopting these little children.
