WORKING FOR MAIN CAMPI --STEAM HE Hot Water for Rooms and Show ers in Legare, Elliott and Thornwell NEW WHITE WAY GLEAMS Add Space for Eighty Men by Building Room* and Dou bling Up in Large Ones Gone, but not forgotten; are the sights of various tenants of Pinckney and Le gare Colleges strolling idly from build ing to building in search of hot water. In the dead of winter one might have seen them walking slowly about in ques tionable costume, but now, that is differ ent. Both buildings are fully equipped with hot water baths, steam heat, and hot water in each room. Many Changes Effective Changes, plenty of them, have taken place within the space of the last three months, and one is really surprised at his first glance at the appearance of the campus. Someone has been busy work ing throughout the summer for it is al most incomparable how so many changes could take place in so short a time. Buildings have been remodeled, many rooms recalsomized, painting has been going on freely, a new lighting system has been placed on the campus, and va rious other improvements have been made. i"Dog Houses" At Premium Much of the vacant space in the build ings, such as existed in Rutledge and Pinckney, has been utilized for the pur pose of single rooms or "dog houses." The recent ruling forbidding the grant ing of rooms on the campus to students who are residents of the city, together with the above enlargement has made room for something like eighty beds. In Pinckney, four "dog houses," have been provided, and about twelve beds have been placed in rooms, giving each ioom one one occupant. Legare has been increased by the addition of eleven extra beds, one room capable of placing two more boys, and three suites with four beds each. Eight "puppy-houses" have been built into Rutledge College, while two rooms have been added to accom modate two men each. Elliott, on the opposite side of the campus, has four of these single rooms, and eleven extra beds in the old rooms; while Harper College has twelve more beds placed thruout. The popularity of the "dog houses* was such that all the new ones were placed and taken before last session was out. Stkh men as Honorable Ar tfiur Medlock grasping them in order to have more quiet that they might learn something in the coming term, last year's efforts having gone for naught. Bolivar Bull got tired of so much "bull" roaming in his pastures that he betook his *bull" and hitched it in one of these single rooms which he. prefers to call the "sta ble" Professors Home Repaired The residences of Professors Wau chope and Burney have been done over also. A new roof has been added that the aforesaid professors might correct papers without the need of an umbrella over their heads when it rains, if it ever does again. A coat of paint has made them look like new, and steam heat will help to keep them warm thronout the wmzter. Professor Wauchope's home has been done over on the inside as well as out; new wood flooring having been ad ded, and the interior improved in other ways. The Marshall states that the home of Professor Biurnecy adjoining wvill be treated in the same- manner if the venerable D)octor will ever give the workmen entrance into his domicile. The appearance of the campus is much brighter and greener now than it was Sunday probably because of the recent showers and the advent of the usual ex ceecdingly large number of "Rats" ar riing. The lawn has been kept well thruout the summer, and has a beautiful appearance to the passer-by. Lighting System Installed The new lighting system put upo the campus far outdoes the old type whleh was in effect last year. The newu large globes give a classy appearance, and the lettering thereon sets them off well. Tiwo of the poles on the campus now boast of only two. globes. Accord. CES REPAIR JS BUILDINGS AT INSTALLED History Is Made When Treasurer's Door Stays Intact ANCIENT CUSTOM PASSES Center Rush Formations Confin ed to Gridiron by Elimination of Glass Crashing glass is not heard at the treasurer*s office this year as the eager students endeavor to get through with the registration. Instead, students quiet ly pass d9wn the line registering in turn with the head of each department and then going to the treasurer's desks at at the right end of the hall. Passing down the line, several of the old faces are missed and new ones are in their place. Prof. Crow is seen at the educational department in place of Prof. Parkinson; Prof. Irving Crowley occupies the position vacated for the year by Prof. Bradley. J. E. Hankins, Carolina graduate takes Prof. Dabbs place. Women Head Three Departments But now comes the new development. Three women are in the group of pro fessors, at the head of departments I Miss Katherine Heyward is at the head of the art department, Miss Helen Smith heads the physical department for the women, and Dr. Irene Dillard is back as dean of women and instructor of Eng lish. Young and old, tall and short, fresh men and seniors mingle in the crowd to register. The old men look on with a bored air, but the first-yeear men are nervous and hold long conversations with the professors and "Y" men stationed there to impart information. Lunch hour comes and the crowd has been allowed to dwindle down apprecia bly. Books are closed and business stop ped. Two freshmen are still seen work ing feverishly over a schedule. They were two of the first to squeeze by the doorkeeper in the morningl - U.s.c. - REGISTRATION EASIER BY LINK-CHAIN IDEA (Continr-ed From Page One) registering with the various departments. A placard on the wall directs one to each department. One or two faculty members sit under each placard for the purpose of assigning students to sections and signing slips. Here necessary in formation is given and schedules definite ly arranged. All slips are signed here and none left for the class rooms. This plan also avoids confusion of later ar ranging the numbers of sections. Another change noted is that orders for the annal are taken now instead of waiting until second term as formerely. We take this to mean that the annuals will be out earlier this year. Sections Numbered A fter all blanks are filled and passed by the faculty, the student goes to the registrar, (section 6) on the |west side of the building. Here comes final settle ment and adjustment, and the student is through matriculating except to part with his money. Mr. Huggins, the treasurer, is ready and willing to take the cold cash as his office is arranged next to the registrars. Here, as the old saying goes, a fool and his money (or maybe Anmd say, speaking of improvements, had you noticed that new schedule blank that they are using this year? It sure is an added improvement over last year's Last year and before, only the time of the class was given, but this year, on one side is the class schedule and on the reverse side is the place where the class meets. This saves a great amount of useless questioning even among the upper-class meni and the administration should be commended for this thoughtful act. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the freshman to keep this schedule with them for the first few days so they will not meander dreamily into the wr'ong class and he marked late or absent in their room. ing to the Marshall they will be similar to the middle post with four globes as soon as the material arrives. Various other additional improvements have hellp ed to make the Carolina campus one of the prettiest around, barring none. STUDENT DREAM OF POST OFFICE NOW A REALITY .MRS.

This department will be conducted separately from the can teen. Negotiations For Contract Office Negotiation for securing a contract of fice of the Governmental postal system are now under way. Dr. Melton has already submitted formal application. With the contract placed there will be added registration, money order, and parcel post service, and our goal reached Dr. Melton has said that he will en deavor to obtain the lowest rental fee possible for the boxes.
