The entire responsibility of organizationreoliciting subscrip tions, and other matters inci.. dental to the perfection of the University band, were partly re moved from the care of C. W. Martin last Tuesday by action of the student body. Mr. Martin will hereafter give his time to the musical- side of the outfit, a committee appoint ed by the studept body to have charge of the financial end of the organization.' This will-enable Mr. Martin to devote his time'to the perfection of the band, while heretofore he has had to divide his attention between the dif ferent phases of the work. The committee appointed by the stu dent body will consist of Henry Thorpas, Guy~ Gullick, Heyward Brockinton,, O. S. Ulmer, O. C. Blackmon, A. J. Beck, B. Poli koff, E. K. Quattlebaum, Jr., and E. B. Smith. Dr. Reed Smith, representing the faculty and alumni of the Universtiy, said that the move ment for a band had the support of all the old Carolina men and of the faculty. 'He stated that he wanted to see the band brought to a point of perfection. This will mean a great deal to Carolina, says Dr. Smith, in more ways than one. It will show the people of Columbia and of South Carolina that the Uni versity is capable of starting and carrying to a successful finish anything that is of material value to the University. This will inspire confidence in the college and will be of great value in the future in insuring closer cooper ation between the people and the University. Alex R.

The stars and stripes were at intervals overhead, and great strings of baloons drooped te4*ptingly near the heads of the daneers. The dance cards were of a very novel type, and bore a pic ture of the inevitable Gamecock on the front cover. Iced punch was served during the evening. No detail was forgotten whichl wi>uld make the affair a succes.. and the dance was, thrubut, like the dignified myi,v.d e bait (of revious years.

Mr. Rhett .spoke on the loca tion, construction and mainten ance of the state highway road systems and pointed out that the location of highways js of great importance. He said that by eliminating railroad crossings and sharp curves accidents may be avoided to a considerable ex tent. He further said that perman ency in construction should be the guiding factor in road build ing at the present time when prices of material and labor are sQ high. He referred to the oil binder road now being success fully used in the West and said that such roads are much cheap er than hard surface and may prove a good 'substitute where traffic is light. Mr. Rhett also brought out the necessity for proper main tenance after the road has been advantageously located, so as to prevent disintegration under traffic.

Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, of Chicago, was a distinguished vis- - itor on our campus last week and - appeared before the weekly Y meeting, where he rendered a most interesting and instructive talk on Cexology. A well filled hall greeted the speaker and he gave a heart to heart talk on a subject of great iinportance to all young men. It will be - remembered by many that Dr. Hall gave this lecture two years ago in the Uni versity chapel, but his recent visit was none the less valued and his timely remarks and ad vice will be wisely taken. It was indeed with interest and at tention that students listened to him arid resolved to henceforth be more thoughtful of their sur : roundings and habits. Dr. Hall's address will be well remembered and appreciated. tory this year with ten mem bers-.in the senior class, several of whom are doing work with - the highway diepartmen~ already. ~ Joseph Murray, liL.
