CAMPAIGN PUT ON BY UNIVERSITY ALUMNI Many Letters Mailed Out Last Week. TO COMPLETE RECORDS. Alumni Association Has Made Rapid Progress During The Past Year. R. W. Wade, the executive secretary of the University Alumni Association, put on a three-day drive the last half of last week for new members for the association. The aim of the campaign,f Secretary Wade said, was to get in touch with every former student of the University, man or woman, and So complete the Alumni Association records. One man in each county, the' member of the advisory coun cil, has been named as county campaign director, and will re ceive and forward to the office of the alumni secretary all ad-1 dresses of University alumni in his county and will also make an effort to visit during the week all former students in his county. It is estimated that there are approximately 3,500 to 4,000 graduates and former students of the University of South Car olina living in the State, and after this campaign the Alumni Association expects to have a complete list of the addresses of all these alumni and to have a large majority enrolled as members. The Alumni Association, Mr. Wade points out, has made rapid progress (luring the past year, but, he says, it cannot claim to have done what it should until every, known alumnus is an enrolled and ac tive member. WITH THE R. O. T. C. The R. 0. T. C. prior to the Christmas holidays had en rolled 171 men, according to the report of Major W. E. Du vall, professor of military science and tactics at the Uni versity. Of these, 93 are tak ing the freshman course, 48 the sophomore course, and 30 the advanced courses. The R. 0. T. C. is fostering a university spirit that will make profes sors, studlents and their friends get together and work togeth er. It is felt that with the or ganization and numbers that it has, it po0-sesses the power to aid materially in such a move ment. Elizabeth Bauer, '12, sincei her marriage to Mr. Robert D. McLure, has been making her home in Rossville, Ga. Clarence Erwin Black, '12, is a merchant, live stock, and au tomobile dealer of Ramherg.| DR. THORNTON WHALING ADDRESSES Y MEMBERS Seminary Head Delivers In structive Address. "SHOOTING STRAIGHT." Was Subject Chosen by Dr. Whaling, Which Proved Interesting Topic. Dr. Thornton Whaling, of the Columbia Theological Sem inary, made a very forceful and interesting talk before the weekly Y meeting on last Wed nesday night in chapel. "Shooting Straight" was the subject chosen by Dr. Whaling, which proved to be a very in teresting topic indeed. Every day men are hitting and miss ing the mark. To hit the iark in life is the prime object of a man's endeavors. Those who shoot straight succeed in their efforts, while poor aiming, sin, ruins many a man's career. Sin cannot go unpunished. - Men who stray from the straight path while in college suffer the inevitable consequences. Con scientiousness of purpose is the keynote of success. The young man beginning life without Christ cannot hope to attain the heights of success he should. Dr. Whaling is no stranger to old Carolina men, and this occasion proved an excellent introduction to new students. It is hoped that the Y. M. C. A. ean continue to be successful in securing men of Dr. Whaling's type, who never fail to leave an indelible impression on their hearers. CAROLINA GERMAN CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS.

The coeds wish to thank th; fifty boys who showed enouph pep to come to our first ba he: ball game. We are glad to see that at last some of the boys have. college spirit when it comes to our activities. Suppose the same percentage of girls at tendled the football games and other contests staged by thie boys-then they could rightly ask us where our college spirit is.
