CAROLINA'S NEEDS GREAT University Has Outgrown Its Present Equipment. In the one hundred and nine teen years the University of South Carolina has been estab lished and functioning much progress has been made by the institution. Today finds the University the capstone of the State's educational system, but its purpose is still not being realized properly by reason of the fact that we are handi capped by lack of proper equip ment. It is hoped that within a few years additional needs may be satisfied and the efficiency of the University thus raised to its proper level. The following are the most urgent needs of the University, excluding regular mainten ance 1.. Renovation and moderni. zation of the four remaining old dormitories. Pinckney, El liott, Harper and Legare, need repairing badly. 2. Completion of the heating plant. 3. Complete equipment for the gymnasium, including in ( ')ce tracts and slwinming 1)ol. 41. Increased appropriation for the extension department in order that this department may adequately fill the purpose for which it was established. 5. New building for the De partment of Education. 6. A fireproof addition to the * Library. 7. :ew administration a aulditorium building. 8. A woman's building an (lean for women. 9. New buildings for the De partment of Phy:ics and Engi neering. 10.

In dications are that the University can have one of the best teams in its history if present plans can be successfully carried out. Coach Metzger is daily putting the Gamecock outfit into shape by early spring practice and with the approach of autumn every thing will be in readiness for a successful season. At present the schedule is complete with the exception of one (late, which is just before the Citadel game. Manager Mims expects to fill this vacancy be fore long but is undecided as to whom the date will be given. The schedule is as follows: October 1-Erskine College at Columbia. October 8-Newberry College :it Columbia. October 15-University of North Carolina at Columbia. October 22-Presbterian Col lege at Columbia. October 27-Clemson College at Columbia (fair grounds). November 5-University of Florida at Tampa. November 12-Furman Uni versity at Greenville. November 1-Open. November 26-Citadel at Co lumbia. MASONIC CLUB ELECT NEW OFFICERS At the last regular meeting of the University Masonic Club new officers were elected to serve dur ing the second semester. The University Club is an active or ganization and much interest is being manifested by members. The following officers were elected: Clarence Castles, President; J. E. Thomas, Vice-President; H. C. Bowman, Secretary; R. G. Bell, Chairman Social Committee; B. A. Bolt, Chairman Mem bership Committee. FRATERNITY BILL. PIGEON-HOLEL Restoration of Greek letter fraternities at State institutions in South Carolina will be de layed a year, at least, by recent action of the General Assembly. The bill as introduced this ses-' sion of the Legislature provided t hat college fraternities be placed under the supervision and con trol of the Board of Trustees of the separate institutions. A similar bill was introduced last session, which passed the house but was rejected bly the senate. Prof. Davis says that theme writing is like a game of cards. We can't win because he "marks" his cards. EXCHANGES The University of Virginia is promoting a drive among stu dents and alumni for $300,000 with which to build a modern and completely equipped gym nasium. Requests are being made of all the college publications in the South by the University of Rich mond to send delegates to Rich mond in April for the purpose of organizing a Southern Inter collegiate Press Association. The object of the Association is to raise and maintain the standard of Southern College publications. The movement Is a significant one and will doubtless accom plish great results. Richmond University is to be praised for beginning such a needed under taking. Students of Davidson College have been forbidden by the fac ulty to keep motor cars on the campus.. The purpose of the fac ult'y's action is to prevent stu dents from visiting the city of Charlotte so often. To students fortunate enough to own cars the Queen City seems to offer too frequent attractions. Furman Universtiy loses one of her star backfield men in Lee Rhame, who has recently been appointed to the United States Naval Academy. Rhame's ap pointment becomes effective early in June and the fast half back will not be able to feature in the Purple Hurricane's anti cipated successful season of 1921. NEW OFFICERS FOR LAW ASSOCIATION Officers for the second term were elected by the Law Asso ciation at its regular meeting on last Thursday night. The fol lowing men were chosen: President, A. R. McGowan. Vice-President, H. C. Bow man. Secretary, LeRoy Mims. Treasurer, A. S. Herbert. Law Editor The Gamecock, J. E. Quinn. Sheriff, E. L. Ard. Court Crier, J. B. Glenn. Clerk of Court, D. WV. Robin son, Jr. The authorities of the Uni versity of Michigan have or dleredl that the "'J-hop," a tradi dlition of fifty years, be discon tinlued. Reasons for the action were that excessive dIrinking and smoking in the building during the hop, with a ten dlency on the part .of the stu dlents to disregard all univer sity laws at the hops, were making the hop of bad reputa tion. The statement declared that there would not be an other hop until the authorities have satisfying evidence of re form on the part of the stu dents. STUDENT IMPROVING McMASTER'S ti W. F.
