,CO-EDUCA TION N( MAJOR POSI7 Rapid Enrollment Due To Man3 Outstanding Contributing Factors Miss Baker Pays Tribute To Excellence of Faclutles-Piue Spirit Prevail lug Anong Women Students. (By Lillie Baker) Co-education at Carolina has now established itself as one of the major parts of the University. Five years ago there were only a mere handful of Co-eds. Now it has passed the 300 mark. What caused this great in crease? It can be readily expressed in the following: 1.-The new Co-ed Building 2.-The value of a degree from the University 3.-The attractive and practical cour ses offered 4.-The ability of the faculty And last but not least Dr. Melton. At present there is only one dormi tory with a residence as an annex, for the girls, but it is hoped and be lieved that in the near future the num ber of buildings for the accomodation increased . The total enrollment of women for the session 1923-1924 was 192. Women enrolled for the first semester of this session number 304. Only five Women's colleges in the State have a larger enrollment. BEAUTIFUL DORMITORY. There is no prettier and better equip ped dormitory in the south. The girls rooms are built in suites, consisting of two bed rooms with a study be tween. In this way the girls have greater privacy since there is only one girl to the room. Every convenience is furnished, steam heat, running water in each bed room, baths, and lights. The main room of the building is beautifully furnished with tasteful fur nishings. There are long divans done in velvet of softest rose brown; deep cushioned chairs in shades that add a rich tone to the room; rugs of blue and mulberry furnish harmonizing potes. At the end of the room is a fire place and above it is flanked on either side with hooded candles. Brass andirons holding logs suggest the wood fires that will be lighted to supple ment the steam heat on frosty days. A grand piano with a length of rose brown velvet flung across its top, stands invitingly open; a grandfathers clock ticks quietly as though well plea sed to have its lot cast among such scenes of youth and loveliness. The cafeteria which is down in the basement is well equipped and beauti fully furnished. "Mother Mid," the matron of the building, but more than matron, for ~~. A. R( Repres YES!

She has every attribute that mothers are supposed to possess-sympathy and af fection. interest in their affairs, and, above all, tact. No lovier a character could be found. In every respect the dormitory is a home to the girls. VARIETY OF COURSES. The value of any degree received from the University can never be es timated. One is able to teach any where. A diploma is recognized every where and too it is a life-time license. Even though a degree cannot be re ceived, the benefits derived from the soCial and literary life are so marked that they last through life. The Co eds are proving a valuable asset to the staff of the various publications, and it has been found that a larger percent age of the contributions to the college magazine. The Carolinian, are made by the women students. There is no faculty of this size in the south that could surpass the ability of the faculty of the University. The degrees conferred upon them are as high as can be obtained. Besides the highest possible instruc tion in Commerce, Law, Elngineering, Journalism and other special courses, which the modern woman is now seek ing, the Co-ed may select any variety of course in arts and sciences. The courses offered in music, art and literature are the subjects most sought. here at the University girls are able to learn these studies. Attractive cour ses in music and dramatic are are of fered. It is a great opportunity for those who possess talents in either of these three lines to learn to use them and to be able to present them to others. A Co-ed Glee Club has been organized, a well equipped club, which shows that small talents can be de veloped. This club has made several trips to cities in the state and has met with high approval and praise. The dramatic art classes are very benefi cial. There are classes in which the theories of play production are stu dies and classes in which the real pro duction itself is practiced. By these methods girls are taught how to pro duce the simplest play most success fully. Courses in Greek, Roman, Ger man. French, English, and American Literature of other nations. This gives one the opportunity to broaden ones mind and not be confined in our knowledge to the literature of our country. Numbers of women in the past few years have enrolled in the schools of Law and Commerce. In this day of specialization, woman must prepare herself for a struggle in the World of Business if she, as many do, wish to persue a career. The School of Journalism seems to be a favorite and )BINSON intative ANTS SUITS .00 and $40.00 and Suits are up icy are cut in the and a touch of are always glad ~ome in and look s over. and Succeed" urn Company Columbia, 8, C. there are Co-ed Engineers. ATHLETIC INTERESTS The great worth of physical devel opment is unspeakable, Basketball, regular gymnastics, sfimming, base ball and gym teams are offered and enjoyed very much.

A strong basket ball team has been organized and just recently they have departed for an extended tour, play ing various college teams in Virginia. A. special gym team has been organ ized comprising acrobats and "great tumblers." DR. MELTON'S WORK Dr. Melton is a man of the highest ideals and standards; a man whose life and work exemplifies a real gen tleman. He is also a man of vision, of* great breadth, aggressiveness and a keen appreciation of those who are struggling to gain any education, for he himself realizes full well what fighting' the upward march means. One of the first things Dr. Melton did at the University was to estab lish and house the Young Women's Christian Association. The daughters of Carolina feel that they are as much a part of this in stitution as her sons, and they are vitally interested in every movement which promotes the welfare of their Alma Mater and the State.
