All questions of schedules and fi ancial matters will be handled by the faculty manager in stead of by the student mana gers as heretofore, the student managers having charge of the routine of trips and advertise ment. Student managers and assistant managers will be di rectly responsible to the facul ty manager who will in turn be responsible to the athletic board as the supreme athletic authority. All matters of coaching and rules will be in the hands of the athletic board with the faculty manager as ex-officio representative of the University in all conventions of the various athletic associations of which the college is a mem ber. Homes for Professors. The board referred to Gov. R. A. Cooper and the budget committee of the legislature a plan to borrow money to con struct six houses for professors along with a recommendation to buy a 600 foot lot on the corner of Sumter and College streets, where it is proposed to build the new faculty homes. The site is at present occupied by Thomas H. Peeples, former attorney general of the State. Other routine matters con sidered included 'the approval of the free tuition to soldiers and the formal election of Prof. Geo. E. Olson as professor of public administration. Over 20 soldiers from Camp Jackson are attending the present ses sion of the university and the university authorities acting on the suggestion of the executive committee of the board of trus tees have allowed the men in service to attend free of all tui tion. This is, however, a tech nical violation of the laws of the State, and the board of trustees will memorialize the legislature at its meeting to le galize the action of the faculty in wvhich the board concurs. Professor Olson has been at the university as a member of the faculty of the recently organ ized school of cop-nmerce and finance since November 1 and it only remained for the board to formally approve of his se lection. The proposed plan to reqluire the regular physical ex amination of every student at least twice each year was ap PLANS BEING MADE TO ESTABLISH NEW SCHOOL Department of Social Service and Hygiene Provided by Trustees. Dr. Reed Smith, director of the extension department, is making plans for the establish ment of a new school of social service and public health at the unversity. The board of trus tees recently provided means for this new department and the authorities have gladly ac cepted this opportunity to in crease the advantages offered by the University of South Car olina. The public health nurse idea is gaining impetus daily in South Carolina as an indispen sable part of the county health unit, with the inevitable result that the demand is now greatly in excess of the supply of 1 trained workers. The usual hospital course of two or three years doeo not fit the nurse to meet the family and community problems which constitute a large part of the daily respon sibility of a public health nurse nor does it supply the requisite knowledge as to communicable diseases and preventative med icine with its problems of hous ing and sanitation. It is to fill this need that the new school has been created, no longer making it necessary for the nurses to go outside the State for the training. The courses will beopen to all who desire to take them, graduate nurses being given courses in modern social problems, rural social conditions, pedagogy, public speaking, nutrition and the principles of public health nursing. Half of the time of stu dents in the school will be de voted to practical work in con nection with the Richland county health unit, plans for which are now being perfected by the Richland health author ities. The plan is now to begin the work of the new school next session, contingent upon the development of the Rich land county health unit by that time. F. P.
