"YDEPUTATION TEAM INVITED TO COWART FIRST SENT THIS YEAR Jenkins, DeLorme, Boyd And Bryan To Compose Group The "Y" has been invited to send a deputation team for a 3 day series -f meetings to Cowart in Forence County. The first team ever sent out by the University "Y" and the first in the State went to Florence County in 1920 and now they are asking us to repeat. That tdam did a good piece of work and it is hoped that this team will do equally as well. The team will probably be coni posed of experienced men, recruited partly from the first team to Florence County and partly from the team that went to Lockhart, The team will be selected from the following men: D. J. Jenkins, Harold DeLorme, Bill Boyd, Sturkie, Harry Bryan and oth<rs. The team will go through the country in cars, leaving either late Thursday night or early Friday morning in time to get to the school before it lets out. The three day program will include mktings, pro bably at the school honse, games, hikes. etc. It will close with a joint meeting of al 'the churches of the community Sunday n'ight.. At the Florence meeting 37 people joined the church as a result. There were 33 decisions at the Lockhart meeting. --U.s.c. UNIVERSITY IS HOST TO STATE "Y'-'COUNCIL The University acted as host to 19 men from the di-fferent colleges of the state at the Y. M. C. A. Conference held here on the 5th of February. . R. G. Bell, who attended the national council meeting in New York, lead the discussion. S. J. McCoy was elected -s president of the State Cot:ncil and Reese Joye was elected Vice-President. H. K. Holland was eleated Secretary. Different problems of the different campuses were discussed and solutions for these problems were sought. For .several years, the University has been the leader in all parts of "Y" work, but the reports this year show that we have been retrograding in some of the main points, especially prayer groups. The afternoon program was concerning the program at Blue Ridge next summer. Plans were made to try to get larger delegations than ever 'efore to attend the conference this summer. -U.S.. MISSION STUDY GROUP TO BE STARTED SOON Under the di-rection of the Mission Study Committee and its chairman, Mr. Gordon May, the "Y" is preparing to run a short course in Mission Study similar to the Bible Discussion Groups of the Fall Term. The course will be for six weeks, planning to start with an organi-zation meeting on Tuesday, the l7 antd enading on March 31. The same system of class scores wvil. he uised as was used in the Bible Class Work with the exception that visitors wvill not conn.t in this series. A most interesting course will be offer. ed. The course will followv the outline 'n the book by Milliken on "The How andl Why of Foreign Missions," and the whole proposition of Foreign Mission wvork will be disctssed with especial em~ phasis on the ,foreign program of the Y. M. C. A. Classes wvill be organized ini every tenement on the campus. The John Rutledge club wvill meet Friday night in Petigru college. Prof. M. L. McCrae will speak on "John Rutledge, an Emminent South Caro linian and an Entminent Jurist." S is for skin so pretty and fair. K is for kisses given everywhere. I is for innocence always portrayed. R. is for rouge of every shade. T is for talk of every sort. S is for skirts, may they always be short. Even a deaf and dumb girl can say "neunes" when she wants to be kissed. UNIVERSITY - University Clubs HILANDERS CAUSE CURIOSITY AND MiRTH Members Kept Secret "That is the best initiation costume that I have seen," was the remark of many students when Everett Scrog gie and G. B. Wood passed in review bedecked in kilts after the fashion of Scotch highlanders. The initiation is into the newest organization on the campus, the Highlanders' Club. The pledges first appeared at the basketball game Tuesday night; at which time they paraded around the floor presumably to better display; their bare knees. Wednesday morning they attended classes in their initiation highland garb. The change in the wea ther about the middle of the day gave them excuse to change once more to "civies." The purpose of the new club seems at present to be somewhat qf a secret. However, one who appears to be fos tering it remarked that it was not or ganized merely to pull a few big dan ces each year. The names of the charter members are also kept under cover. As this is the first initiation no doubt more wearers of the Scottish make-up will soon be seen on the campus. - U.s.c. YESTER-YEAR CUSTOMS AT SCARABEAN PARTY The Scarabaen Club made its debut on Wednesday night at Melton Hall. As eleven is the club's lucky number, it was appropriate that the "coming-out party" be on the eleventh of the month. The hall and the two front rooms were deco rated in rainbow colors and the gues.t, were greeted not by modern co-eds, brt by giTis of our grandmother's time. The old fashioned idea was carried out in appropriate games and refreshments. The Virginia reel was one of the main features of the evening, being enjoyed to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw." About thirty lads and lasses were pres ent, and on departure, every one felt that the charms of yester-years had been re vived. ---.s.c. St. Louis Publication Quotes Prof. Moore In a booklet published during 1924 by the Anderson Press of St. Louis on the subject "Christianity or Evolu tion?" Dr. A. C. Moore is quoted among the biologists of other univer sities in the country. The booklet is not a polemic which attempts to make a decision between the two alterna tives suggested by the title but is ra ther a vehicle of expression for the leading scientists of the country who find that Chiristianity and evolution are not at all incompatible with cacth other. There are several lengthly arti cles in the booklet, all aimed at pseu do-scientists of the William Jennings Bryan genre. There followv quotations from the biologists among them Dr. Moore's: "Professor A. C. Moore, University of South Carolina, says that evolution will make more critical and will make far- more careful and exact teaching of the Bible. Evolution is one great FACT in a great philosophy of life and must b)e made to fit into that philos ophy." -.s.c. Tlhe Wauchope Literary club will meet at 8 o'clock Thursday evening insteadl of 8:30 as previously announc ed. The meeting will be held at 1020 Pickens street and a full program has been planned. Several new members will be admitted. The L4aw Association will hold its regular wveekly meeting Thursday night in Petigru College. The case called is a jury trial on an agreed statement of facts for murder and arrying con cealed weapons. Messrs. Sam Watt and Brewster McFadden are attorneys for the respondent and Messrs. J. C. Stuckey and Pat Adams will represent the other side. A b)oil on the stove is worth two on your back.
