RACE TIGHTENS FOR LEADERSHIP IN BIBLE GROUPS THREE MORE MEETINGS Enrollment Reaches Its Highest Point-Margin Small Between Leading Classes in Contest Tenement 17 second floor still leads in the Bible class meetings with a total of 754 points. Tenement 24 came up to second place in the last meeting with 742 points. Tenement 14 has third place with 719 points. Tenement 28 which has been having a hot race for leadership took a tumble this week and is now in fourth place with 717 points. Tenement 24 led by Graham had the largest at tendance for the week with 31 men plesent at the meeting. There are only three more meetings in the Bible class series for this year. The next meeting will be the last meeting at which new members will be admitted. After that extra points can be secured only thru having visitors, and the visi tors must not be members of another class . There are at present 534 men in Bible groups on the .cames. This is the lar gest enrollment that the University Bi ble classes have ever had. That, however, leaves about 100 men on the campus who are not yet enrolled and a fertile field for the attendance committees of each class for the nexti meeting. There are about 300 men in the class es who have not missed any meetings to date. If these men do not miss thru the series they, with the members of the winning class wi;l be invited to a feed or a big reception. There are a large num ber of seniors who have not missed a class since they have been in school. These men will be given some token of recognition at commencement. - U.s.c. - RECEIVE FIFTEEN MEN INTO "Y" MEMBERSHIP New Idea of Member Work Ac complishes Results Through Work of Committees At the meeting last Sunday night fif teen members were received into the Y.M.C.A. with appropriate ceremonies. The new policy of the Y this year is that each man joining will be assigned some committee work if he can arrange his time for it. The Y plans to have all members doing some work to bring about the purpose of the orgaization either on the campus or eise somewhere in the neighborhood with some other organization. Much work is already being done in the neighborhood. Some of the s:uents from the University are carrying on services at the penitentiary. Others are teaching Sunday School in the assions and a group has been organized to go out to the county poorhouse and other places. The following men wvere received last week: B. V. Gressette, H. M. Batson, J. B. Horton, L. G. Bell, Charlie Coth ran, A. K. Patrick, Fred Holiday, W. P. Womer, J. C. Norton, C. H. Horton, Dewey Cox, Lewis Brown, C. A. Gray and C. C. Patrick. - u.s.c. - W. P. MILLS OUTLINES GROWTH OF "Y" WORK Chapel Speaker Points Out the Growth of Organization and Scope of Foreign Work W. P. Mills, Y.M.C.A. worker in China and former Carolina student spoke on "World-wide work of the Y" at Chapel Tuesday morning. The founding of the Y.M.C.A. by George Williams, a London clerk, was traced to its introduction in America 'n 1889, forty-five years later. Mr. Mials told something of the organization in America and the scope of its activities. lHe said that the "Y" organizations of Nordh America now have 142 secretaries in foreign countries. Trhe aim of the American organiza tions in this foreign work is, Mr. Mills said, to make them self-supporting, self controlling, and self-propagating. The result has been that the movement> is de veloping under native leadership all over the world. In concluding his ta'ik, the speaker cit ed the work that has been done by some PARTY IN GYMNASIUM NEXT WEEK BY Y.M.C.A. Columbia College Girls Invited to What Promises to Be a "Different" Affair Next week the Y.M.C.A. will entertain with a party in the gymnasium. The exact date has not been set, but those in charge say that it will be "different." Columbia College girls will share invita tions with the students and faculty of the University. The guests wilW be divided into six groups, each under the leadership of a member of the gym team. What will ensue will closely resemble a three-ring cireus 'performance. Stunts and side show features are offer ed as the evening's entertainment. The committee promises that there will be no dull moments. At the conclusion of this part of the program the gym team will give an exhibition, its first of the year. Then, to finish the party in proper fash ion, refreshments will be served. - U.S.C. - NOTED HYGIENIST WILL LECTURE AT UNIVERSITY DR. SWAN INVITED BY "Y" Will Spend Four Days on Univer sity Campus-Heard Here Last Year Dr. E. L. Swan, en inent social hy genist will be on the campus four days of next week to give series of lectures. Dr. Swan will arrive Wednesday and be here through Sunday. During the war Dr. Swan served in the Medical Corps and has a splendid reputation in his field or work. He comes higly recommended by the American Social Hygiene Association under whose auspices he is traveling. While at the University, Dr. Swan will give a series of lectures in the Chapel. He will speak to several of the gym classes, and, on Tuesday night will address the Y.W.C.A. During his visit to Columbia, Dr. Swan will pro bably address some of the women's clubs of the city. Those of the student body who heard Dr. Swan when he lectured at Carolina last year report him one of the best speakers on the annual pro gram of the Y.M.C.A. Last year Dr. Swan held personal conferences with students, and, it is likely that this plan will be inaugurated again this year. - U.S.C. - The Poor Worm Turns No More After Many Hardships Its a long lane that hath no turning, a poor worm that will not revel in the end and a grand spring that will not beak eventually. The long suffer ing phonograph at Flinn Hall has borne much this season. Two pack ages of needlles have been used daily, so conservatives estimate would place the number of times the old springs have been wound and rewound as around 150 to 200 times each (lay. Sonme people say that Judge Bowen has play edl "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" that many times in one (lay. But alas and alack, on Thanksgiv ing (lay, the poor spring, gave one last agonizing whirl, and died a sudden death. Secretary Bell promises to have it fixed just as soon as the phono grap)h people can do the job. He also states that he hopes all the Y's re cords wvill l)e there wheni the machine starts again. - U.s.c. - MRS.

SPIRIT OF CHRIST NEEDED TO SAV E WORLD - MILLS SUNDAY NIGHT 'Y' SPEAKER First University Y.M.C.A. Secre tary Points Out World Evils That Must Be Met Upon the Christian spirit of the pre sent student generation depends the ability to ,combat the four greatest evils of the world, was the keynote of the speech given by W. P. M1Us at the Y. meeting in Chapel Sunday n'ght. The four greatest evils, Mr. Mills said, are; economic realism, race prejudice, religious intolerance, and international jealousies. Mr. Mills was the first Y. M. C. A. secretary at the University. For the last ten years he has been serving as a Y. secretary in China. His talk was based upon the proposition that the number of things that are bringing the world togctther in the day of civi lization are counteracted by the forces pulling men apart. Despite the fact that the world is economically dependent, the speaker pointed out, the trade rivalries anl competitive production program of the nations are forcing them at each other's throat. In speaking on the race problem, Mr. Mills pointed out that the condit ions in America are not as aggravated as they are in England. While we are accustomed to think of the world as a white-man's world, the colored races outnumber the white by the rotio of 2 to 1. The recurrence of events of the last twenty years, with the attendant wars, and suffering can be avoided in the future only by the growth of the Christian spirit in the world. More specifically the burden, Mills con cluded, falls on the student generation. -u.s.c. - DELEGATES BACK FROM BAPTIST CONVENTION University Represented at Green ville Meet-Chaplain, Car. penter and Sturkie Give iTalks One dozen Gamecocks traveled up to Furman last week-end-not for a football contest however, but to be the guests of Furman and G. W. C. for the annual Baptist Student Conference. At least 140 delegates attended the conference from all the colleges in the state. Prominent men addressed th: conference, and one of the most inter esting parts was the discussions led by Miss Forman, Baptist Student Secre tary. Dr .Carpenter, University chaplin, made a talk during the conference, and Dwight Sturkie, University student, sp)oke at the Saturday morning meet ing on, "Religious Life on a State Uni versity Campus." On Saturday evening, a banquet was given the dlelegates, and each college was required to give a stunt. All the schools organized cheering sections and the noise produced rivalled the yelling at a football game or a mecal in the diningroom at Blue Ridge dur ing the college conference. Trhe conference ended Sunday after noon, so the delegates could return to their respective schools in time for classes Monday morning. The Bap tist students are planning to havc- a meeting soon to hear the report of the, dlelegates. - U.s.C. - Narch: Have you ever thought of conmmitting suicide ?
