CURRELL ATTENDS MEETINGS IN CHICAGO National Association of State Universities Holds Sessi on in Windy City "November 10, 11 and 14, 15 I had the pleasure of' at tending two noteworthy con ferences in Chicago, the first being the annual meeting of the National Association of State Universities, and the second an informal discussion of the prob lems of secondary education by certain Southern State Si perintendents of Education- and State University Presidents, called together by the General Education Board. "The latter was presided over by Dr. Buttrick and Dr. Flexner, the representatives of the General Education Boara. The conclusions reached are not yet ready for publication, but it may be said that the re stilts were satisfactory to all concerned, and if the plat.s for the betterment of secondary education in the South are car ried into effect the meeting will prove to be for us one of the most fruitful held in recent years. "The National Association of State Universities is one of the most interesting and important educational gatherings held (luring the year. It always meets in November and is fol lowed or preceded by the meet ing of the Land Grant Colleges (i. e. the A. & M. Colleges) and the consolidated universities (i. e. those in which the agri cultural and mechanical col leges are combined with the State Universities). A bout one half of the State Universities are con'olidat ed with, the oth er half separated from, the ag ricultural and mechanical col leges. With the exception of such institutions as Harvard and Columbia University, the consolidated State Universities are the largest, richest and most influential institutions of higher learning in the Uinted States. Well-meaning, but mis guided leaders of public edu cational opinion are responsi ble for the policy of separation, the folly of which is now only too apparent, especially as the United States Government is evidently planning very large CO-ED CARNIVAL PROVES BRILLIANT SUCCESS Proceeds to be Used to Pay Expenses of Delegate to Student Conference The Co-ed Carnival, which was held in the University gym nasium on Thursday evening, was one of the most enjoyable events which has taken place here in some time. Every one who went with the expectation of witnessing a real carnival was not disappointed, for it was truly a gala occasion. There were plenty of horns, caps, streamers, confetti and other things which go to make up a carnival, as well as peanuts, popcorn, ice cream cones and candy. The side shows, which were placed around the walls, created great interest and af forded much merriment. Prob ably the best were the Cave of Horrors, Blue Beard's Wives, the Biggest Goose in the World, The Biggest Spider in the World aund the Airplane As cent. More people indulged in a ride in the airplane than in any other show, and consider ing the large crowd which "went tip." the co-eds think it quite fortunate that there was onl.- one casualty-Prof. Cook's collision with a table. Great interest was also shown in the two guessing contests the silhoutte and the bean con test. Jas. Porter won a hu11mp t v-lumlpty for guessi.. the greatest nulmber of silhouttes cmrrectly. and Rev. K. (G. Fin lay guessed the correct number of beans in the jar and was given a can of beans. Hubert Cox w\on seconl prize, al at tractive rocking horse. There were plenty of college girls on hand as well as a large crow(d of pople from out in town. )ancing was enjoyed late in the evening. Coin stock's Orchestra furnished the mu sic. To say that the carnival was a success is expressing it light ly, for it exceeded the hopes and expectations of all who shared in it. The net proceeds, which amounted to something over two hundred dollars, will be used to send a co-ed repre sentative to the Student Volun teer Convention at Des Moines. CAROLINA LOSES GAME TO HEAVY ALLIGATORS Gamecocks Suffer from Ab sence of Crawford and McMillan in the Line In a very hotly. contested game of football the University of Florida won from the Caro lina eleven by a score of 13 to 0. Features of the game were the heavy line plunging of the Alligators' backfield and the playing of Skinner, Waite and I1rockinton for the Gamecocks. The Florida team had the a(vantage in several ways. In the first place, the enormous (lifference in weight had a great deal to do with the scor ing. In the second place, the two best men in the Gamecock line, Crawford and McMillan. were crippled and could not play. HIut in spite of these off sets against Carolina, the birds put up a scrappy exhibition of foot ball and came very near scoring on Iwo different occa s1ons. Florida dil not attempt a forward pass until near the end of the first half, and it netted a touchdown. Two more were attempted during the rest of the game. Carolinla completed three out of about ten attempts. Florida made 16 first downs during the game, and the Birds ma(le 10. Briefly Speaking. The first (iarter was play('d without any scores being made. arolina won the toss up and chose to receive. After ad vancing the IaII about 20 yards the Gamecocks were forced to pult. Florida took the ball. an1d by successive line plunges and a 1.-yard run by Spark man, placed it on Carolina's 10 yarl line. Here the Game cocks hel( for downs. Good m(ai punted 20 yards out of blounds. Florida penalized 15 yards on first play for holdnig, but made 5 yards on the next down. E. Smith then intere epted a pass on Carolina's 22 yard line. Allen took 1 yard over right tackle and then Skinner ran 26 yards around left end. Timmons took 3 yards thru center. A pass, Tpimmonls to Brockinton, netted 6 yardls. In next play, Tim mnons madec first down thru center. Skinner took 15 yards (('ON'I'INI'ElI ON PAG-' .)
