"But it should also be set apart -as a day when men shall think of a means of pre venting future wars, for there is need for heroes of peace as w-ll as heroes in battle. Polier centralized his talk upon the World Court question. He explained its possibilities and shows its defects. His talk was aimed at focusing the at tention on the need of something to make the event of future wars more remote. Speaking as a student he appealed to the men and women of the Univer sity to interest themselves in national and international affairs. In conclud ing his speech he declared, "The nat ion challenges college men and momen to become good citizens. This is the time to make a place in our thoughts for world problems. The question is whether we are men and women enough to make up the challenge." R. G. Bell conducted the devoti onal exercises and introduced Polier. The exercises were completed by a talk by Dean Baker on the part that the University students played in the World War. The program was opened with the singing of "The Star Span gled Banner" and closed with "We Hail Thee, Carolina." Upon the bronze tablet erected in the library is the tribute of the University of South Carolina to her students who made the supreme sacrifice. "They were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death, they were not divided. "Alma Mater is proud of her five hun derd and thirty-one sons, living and dead, and seeks in this plain way to honor their memories. "By their services, suffering and sac rifices for the 'preservation of civiliza tion they have justified her labors and covered her with lasting glory. - "She will remember them to succeeding generations of her children." - U.S.C. - ENGINEERS FIND JOBS DURING HOT MONTHS J. P. Caldwell and J. P. Cranwell Have Positions Wit l..arge Construction Companies Students in the Engineering School have been busy during the Summer on engineering projeuts both in the state and out. J. P. Caldwell of Winnsboro, worked all summner for Lockwood Green company on surveys, maps and esti mates for the Broad River Power conm pany in this state. This year, Caldwell is serving as instructor in elementary mechanics and topographic mapping. James L.

Bella.- "Because father is too fat to F. Horton Colcock Former Professor Dies. at Hospital The announcement that F. Horton Colcock, for 21 years professor of mathematics at the University, died :t the Baptist Hospital this morning came as a shock. Professor Colcock was with the University from 1894-1915, and was succeeded by Bruce Coleman. Jimmie Driver Releases 1926 Grid Schedule SEEK CONFERENCE GAMES Athletic Association Is in Good Shape-Carolina's Position in Southern Conferences Improves "To play more teams in the Southern Conference, and put South Carolina on the map in Southern football circles is the aim of the authorities in arranging the schedule for the 1926 season," said James G. Driver, director of student ac tivities Tuesday. "To do this we first have to build up a reputation for the school, and show them that the Gamecock team is worthy of recognition as a contender. We have this year placed ourselves on a pinnacle among Southern teams, coaches, players, and sport writers never before occupied by a Palmetto state team. "There are several things that have to be noticed in making up a schedule. Teams must be arranged in variance with their strength, and dates must be fixed to be of an advantage in every possible way. Finances Considered "The financial end is very important when it comes to staging big football contests in Columbia. It takes a great sum of money to bring large teams here, and the crowd that it will draw is to be reckoned with. "The Athletic association of the univ ersity is in about the best condition it has ever been, and the time is arriving when Carolina is to be watched. "Only about six games have been ar ranged for next year thus far, and the dates have about been closed for these. We are at work on several new teams, inciding state universities that have played Carolina teams in the past. "Carolina, as has been her custom for several years, will probably play Erskine in her opening game, if the Presbyterian institution still wants this place. Clem son and the Citadel will of course be played at the State and Orangeburg fairs, respectively. "Both North Carolina and North Car oliia State will played. The games will be reversed as 'usual, Carolina play ing the Tarheels at Chapel Hill, and the Wolf pack in Columbia. The other team that Carolina has arranged to play is Furman, our opponents of Saturday. "We are making no predictions as to how many games we will win, or who we wvill face, hut we can say that a bunch of fighting Gamecocks will represent us next year in the conference and we hope to have the greatest team ever p.ut out by the University of South Carolina. 'Our adv'ice to our opplonents and fol lowers of next year is, "Watch South Carolina I'" -- u.s.c. -- Room: Did I get any mail today?

Dates for these contests will be set at the Council meeting Monday. -- U.s.c. UNIVERSITY GRADUATE WRITES MRS. MADDEN - u.S.c. - Expresses Thanks for the Kind Treatment at Infirmary-Now at Northern School To the uninitiated, an infirmary or a hospital is a place to stay away from at any price-a place where stern faced doctors and nurses are always making one take a pill that resembles a buscuit in size or swallowing some vile medi cine that tastes worse than a witch's brew. It's not that way at the University Infirmary however-it's more like home and Mrs. Madden will act as nurse and mother combined. Probably some one will wonder if the writer intends floating bonds for a new hospital or something like that, but that's not the case. Tro prove the statements about Mrs. Madden andf the infirmary, an old Carolina man who is teaching and taking post graduate work in a northern school wrote Mrs. Madden the other day and told her how he appreciated the kind treatment that he had always received, at the in firmary. - u.s.c. - Here lies Gramma, her head on a stone, WAho wore red flannels in the torrid )OKING MADE iTMAS SEASON Paul Specht Proposes Offer-Two Dates Arranged BROADCASTS AT ATLANTA May Go Abroad During Summer -Prospect of Vaudeville and Recording Contract Stock in the Carolina orchestra has taken a decided rise in the past week. Manager Ton Stone has received a letter from the Paul Specht Music Corporation offering bookings for the Christmas season. He announces that he has two jobs lined up for them and can fill the balance of the schedule. Besides the offer of the Christmas bookings, Specht proposes a European season for the South Carolina boys. So the mademoiselles and frauleins may hear the Carolina version of the great American institution of jazz. Specht is one of the leaders in the field of dance music, and his proposals sound encouraging. He alse suggest; a vaudeville tour and some recording dates later. His letter asks for pict ures of the organization, and infor mation concerning the personnel. The management marks another recognition of the reputation of the Gamecocks. Tomorrow night at 10 c'clock they will broadcast a program of dance music from station WSB., Atlanta. This invitation came at the close of a successful season at Kan uga I,ake, Hendersonville, North Caro lina. It was tendered by one of the leading radio dealers in Atlanta. "Listeners-in" on the air will find their toes tingling to the strains of the Carolina rag. But it will not be in the gym; you'll have to twirl the dials to get the "syncopation with a soul." -u.s.c. - CAROLINA TO BE REPRESENTED IN PLA Y 'YOU AND I' PROF. JACKSON HAS PART Was Written by One of Dr. George P. Baker's Pupils in Harvard "47" Workshop The University of South Carolina is again well represented in the cast of "You and I," the next Town Theatre production. Director Reed has this time, instead of the Law School, selected one of his characters from the Mathematics Department. Professor Jesse Jackson is playing the mart of a sreccessful business man. Students will remember his acting in some of the Tfown Theatre productions before and know that he is a capable actor. Miss Kathryn Powvell, a University student, is in the role of a very unusual maidl who serves as an artists model to the master of the house because of her charming beauty. All the players in "You and I" are stars and it should be more interesting to students of the University, especially students of the dranta, because of the fact that it was written by one of Dr. George Pierce Baker's pupils in his Har vard '47' Workshop and is the first of its long plays to be published. F.dt cat ional circles are further rep.re sented by Mr. A. C. Flora, Superintend ent of Cilumbia High School, and Presi dent of the Stage Society, who plays an important role in the play. "You and I" will lbe put on at the Towvn Theat're November 23, 24.,,1 ->.
