The creation of these 17 scholarships is a magnificent manifestation of your intention to do your part to that end. It is in keeping with the high puripose~ exp)ressedl in the motto of your great organization, 'We Build.' So many people seem to prefer to tear dowvn and destroy.

SENT HANDSOME [TO UNIVERSITY BIG TRIANGLE DEBATE ENDS IN DRAM Carolina's Negative Wins Fron Tennessee's Affirmative Team The Tennessee, Florida, Carolina de bate, known as the "Big Triangle De. bate," resulted in a victory. for thd nega. tive teams. As was the case last year, al' three affirmative teams were defeated The query this year was "Resolved, Thai the Allied Nations Should release EacIl Other from all Indebtedness Incurred in Carrying on the World War." Last Friday night, in the Universit) chapel, the debating team of the Uni. versity of Florida, upholding the negativt side of the query, defeated the tean from Florida upholding the affirmative. The Tennessee team was composed of E. 0. Hendrix and H. H. Baker while the speakers from Florida were T. S. Fer guson and S. N. McInnis. The decision was a unanimous one in favor of the negative. The judges were '. B. Murphy Dr. J. M. Wells and Dr. G. A. Wauchope Dr. Currell acted as presiding officer and R. M. Hope was chief marshal. Miss l.ouise Rogers. of Columbia College, ren dered a piano solo, and Miss Nell Mur ray, also of Columbia College, gave sev eral delight ful vocal solos. The same night the University of South Carolina, upholding the negative side of the question, was victorious over the University of Tennessee's affirmative team. The Carolina team was composed of Coleman Karesh and W. A. MlcSwain. At the same time a lively fight was taking place over at Knoxville between the affirmative team of the University of South Carolina and the negative team of the University of Florida. By a three to two decision the negative team was declared the winner. George H. Witt kowsky and Thorne Sparkman were the representatives of the University at Knoxville. Mr. \Vittkowsky is a member of the Euphradian society, while Messrs. Spark man, Karesh and McSwain belong to the Clariosophic Society. Chapter of A. A. E. Formed at Carolina The engineering society of the Uni versity held a meeting in the lecture room of LeConte College on Wednesday morning, March 28, at which time a stu dent chapter of the American Association of Engineers was formed. A sufficient number of candidates attended to make possible the securing of a charter, and this will be done as soon as practicable. A tentative plan is to call the organiza tion the Homes Chapter of the A. A. E., in recognition of debt owed to the late M. Goode Homes, former (lean of the school of engineering. Prof. Rowve introduced the subiject oif the A. A. E., and in his talk piointedl out the significant fact that the A. A. E. is the society of the pirofession as a whole, whereas other organizations of similar na tiire are confined to special branches of engineering. Prof. Rowe also stressed the point that engineers should learn to talk well, and advised all his students to make the most of the advantages offeredl by liar ticipation in the literary societies, because usually an engineer things in technical terms wvhich he is unzable to present clear ly to laymen, and as all projects must of necessity he thus piresentedl, it behooves the engineer to pay attention to this phase of his edulcation. Prof. Teepile, himself a membier of the A. A. E., ably spoike in its behmal f, saying that lie believed that such an organiza tion at the University, meeting every wecek or two, wvould prove distinctly benieficial. The object of the A. A. F. is to raise the standards of ethics of thme eniginee-rinig proifession and to piromote the economic and social wvelfare of en BUCHMAN CONDUCTS EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN Last For Over Two Weeks INTENSE INTEREST SHOWN Buchman and Able Assistants Accomplish Great Work The University campus, during the past seventeen days, has been the scene of a personal evangelistic campaign conducted by Frank Buchman, Loudon Hamilton, and three prominent students of Colgate University, John Munii, Bob Ames and Dan Ecker. Frank Buchman was in charge of the campaign which has been conducted uin der the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A. Mr. Buchman is a man of very pleasing personality and is a grad uate of Penn State. He has conducted similar campaigns at the largest uni versities in the United States, such as Harvard, Yale, Colgate, Dartmouth, Cor nell and many others. Loudon Hamilton is a Scotchman and a graduate of Oxford, is one of the most likable men of the party. During the war he was attached to the immortal Thirtieth Division and met many South Carolinians who were members of that outfit. The three Colgate students are real all round college men. John Munn and Bob Ames are both seniors at Colgate, the former is a member of the senior honor society, Skull and Scroll, Pan Hellenic Council, and of the lacrosse team, the latter is manager of the foot ball team, tennis team, and glee club at Colgate. Dan Ecker is a Junior; he is vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. and is a member of the varsity football team. These three men spent their Faster holi (lays on our campus in order to help Messrs. Buchman and Hamilton in the campaign. The idea of bringing college men from one institution to another to swap religious experiences with each other was originated by Mr. Buchman, and has proved to be a great aid to hini in getting college men to become real Christians. Mr. Thompson, of Denmark, joined the party after the campaign had been under way for several (lays to help in the work. Meetings were conducted by Mr. Buchman or some other member of the party at chapel period on Tuesdays and Thursdays while they were here, and every evening at 7 o'clock in Flynn Hall. Besides these large meetings small ones were conducted in a nuniber of the tenements at which a group of students would assemble and discuss religious problems. Every student who attended the meetings were profoundly impressed with the talks of these men, and it is hoped that we shall have the privilege of having them with us again. Co-Eds Plan to Raise Money to Send Delegates to Blue Ridge This is a notice twofoldl, so hearken wvell, and let not your attention wander. At a recent meeting of the Y. \V. C. A. cabinet it was unanimously (decided that money must be forthcoming immediately if any co-eds wvere to attend the Y. W. C. A. Summer Conference at Blue Ridge this summer. Two( ideas, p)lans, or sug gestions wvere advanced and both adopted. Here's one: We have openedl a tea room at Melton H-all. Sandwiches, cakes and drinks, etc., are purchasable in the gray dining room twvo a fternoons a week, namely, WVednesday and Friday, from four to six. And the offcial name of the shop is Evelyn's Idlea. Nor is that all.

'Twas C in this manner that the Davidson Wild- % cat Track team took a nip- and-tuck af- oI fair from the Carolina Gamecocks by the II score of 58 2-3 to 54 1-3. Really so s( close was the score that the scorer, Jhoree Wheeler, had to check up sev- it eral times after the meet was over to al determine the exact score. in The (lay was damp and clammy and af not at all suited to field and track events, oI but, even at that, some fairly good time th was made and a goodly sized crowd saw th the meet. cl The Tarheels were superior to the in, Gamecocks in the field events, placing in first in the discus and javelin throws and c the shot put. Carolina showed her to supremacy in the running events of the (lay's exhibition. As these events came f4 off simultaneously the score switched ap back and forth througout the meet. he c crowd enjoyed the afternoon's sport, and fl had the (lay been better it is probable la that some fast times would have been ul recorded. For Carolina Parsons, Hanahan, Wal- w lace, Prevost and Poole were the shining "I stars and Galloway, Gracey and McCombs Ie did best for Davidson.
