Our Gool 25 Men 6T "Adiquate Represnt at Blue Ridge aCon Means Se F or "Y" Next Ya University of South Carolina VOL. XVNT COILU\MBIA. S. C.. MAY 11, <.2. NUMBER 2I U.S. C. WELL REPRESENTED PAST THREE YEARS Participates Actively In Athletics CAROLINA SHOWS UP FINE Twenty-five Delegates At Blue Ridge Will Mean Much To University "Y" In the last three years Carolina has had a large and representative dele gation at lue Ridge. Three years ago we had 11 men there, including Harry Lightsey, Fant Kelley and one or two other men who are at Caro lina at present. This was the largest delegation from this State at that time. The following year we car ried up with us 14 meii, numbering in our bunch Bob Hope, Alex Waite and others. Again this was the larg est delegation in the State. And this year Carolina carried off a large share of the athletic honors there, 'due largely to the ability of Alex Waite. This last year we had only seven men. This time both Wofford and Clemson had more than Carolina. The men who have gone to Blue Ridge these years have been men who well represented the campus. And it has been noted that they have been men who after their experience at Blue Ridge, have assumed places of large importance in the student body, due partly to the experience which they have had at Blue Ridge. This year the Y. M. C. A. is trying to get 25 men to the conference. If the Y is successful in their attempt it will mean more to Carolina in Y. M. C. A. work than anything that could hap pen.

LJE RI1 fit WALKING TOUR E TO BLUE RIDGE Number of Students Plan To Walk---Others Wanted To Join Party e Several students at S. C. plan to It go to Blue Ridge to the Y. M. C.

Holland Abranis and n Fant Kelly are planning to make t the trip of foot if a sufficient num eher of boys can be induced to make y the venture with them. Why not. fellows? It is only 190 miles. You e 1could step that off in no time. e- It might look like a big adventur(, but it can be done, seriously. Last . Sunday's papers carried a story about f four students from Mercer at Macon t- walking to Chicago with an expendi ture of less than $2.00 a piece. Last summer when the conference closed s there were two men at 1Blue Ridge that started on a tout' to New York * with only 50c in their pockets. The papers reported that they reached a the little village oi the Hudson all I_right. Of course, when you say walk you don't leant walk. The gang of will start to Mlue Ridge in the middle s-lof the touitst season and there will te be a large number of cars going frot here and below. The tourists are al eways nice about picking Ip fellows )e on the road ad( giving then a lift. g- So, you start to walk and you don't walk. Of course, if that happens to it be the (lay that no tourists are on the road. -well, you may walk. But that is not probable.

Columbia Church Bible Classes Sending Men To Blue Ridge Tie Coiumbma churches have rallied tc tie support of the Y. NI. C. A. in helping to send a large group of men to the Blue tidge Conference. A committee composed of It. NI. Hope ind Cailioun Thomas have been to most of the churches which Caro lina studients attend and have se cured swlen(iidi results. rie iharacca Class at the First Haptist Church, composed almost entirely of Caro lina students, is going to pay half the expenses of two men. The Nien's Class at the Washington Street Al. E. will pay for a man an(d a half and the Student Class at the same place will take care of the missing half of the same man. The First Presby terian Class has not taken official ac tion yet, but it Is understood that they are aiming at half the expenses of two men. The Big Class at the Trinity Ciureh has not been visited yet. but the committee feels sure they will follow the example of the other classes. The fact that the clturch classes are willing to co-operate in sending men to Blue ltidge sets a precedent at Ca,11rolinla and shows an entire new trend of action. It is a great spirit of co-operation between the Coltunbia clhurhelies and the University that has been shown lately in other ways and which should be fostered. The Caro lina Y. NI. C.
