University Headquarters The University Extension Depart ment is the headquarters for this as sociation and they have charge of the details. At the present time, Professor Orin F. Crow is acting head of the de partment. L. L. Wright of Honeapath is president of the Association, and J. D. Fulp of Columbia, is secretary. Following is a clipping from the bul letin tracing the growth of the organi zation: "The South Carolina High School League in its present organization is unique, since it is probably the only high school athletic association in the United States that is administered wholly by the high school superinten. dents and principals. The League was founded in 1913 under the auspices of the University of South Carolina, as the Inter-high School Athletic and Or atorical Association, and continued to function as organized until the spring of 1921, when the League was reorgan ized and the entire control of its act (Continued to page eight.) Miss Stolofsky is of mediumheight, has dark hair which is not bobbed. She is rather dlark complectedl and has a pleasing smile to greet her audience. Mr. MacFarren is a rather large mani. He, too is dlark. His hair is black, and seems to show hints of grav in the light of the stage. Contrary to the popular conception of a pianist, he wears his hair trimmed rather short. He rejected the customary piano stool, choosing instead an ordlinary chair. GIRL SONGSTER STA TEASSOCIA CLUBS CREA T GEN. T. H. BLISS TO COME HERE DURING MARCH WORLD RELATIONS CLUB Was One of Three Full Generals During World War-Was on Allied Conference General T. Howard Bliss, one of the three ranking generals during the World War, will arrive on the cam pus March 11, and will stay over thri the next day. General Bliss comes to speak on international relations clubs in universities. Dr. Clarke, Dr. Ball, and Dr. Snowden will have charge of the arrangements, and it is probable that the general will speak to the stu (lent body at chapel period, March 12. These international clubs are being formed to promote an interest in world affairs, and no one is probably more capable of bringing such news than General Bliss. He was a member of the Allied Conference and the American Commission to negotiate peace. Lewisberg Pennsylvania is the birth place of General Bliss, and after finish ing the public school, he attended the University of Lewisburg, now Buck nell. He graduated from the United States Militery Academy and the Unit ed States Artillery School. Later he was conferred the LI.. D. by Bucknell.

S ORGANIZE TION TO MAKE E COMPETITION Invitations Issued Several Weeks Ago Responded to by Four Colleges PLANS STATE CONTEST University to Be Host to First Contest-Coker College Girl Elected President The co-ed glee club of the Univer sity of South Carolina has taken the iniative in forming an organization which has been long needed among the women's colleges of the state, an as sociation of Women's Glee Clubs of South Carolina. Several weeks ago they sent out an invitation to all the women's glee clubs in the state to join in an organization among the girls similar to the boys association which has been functioning for several years. Nearly every college in the state an swered the approved plan either by letter or telegram, if they could not send representatives to the first meet ing. At the first meeting held Thursday afternoon in Mr. Matteson's studios, at which he presided, there were present delegates from Lander college, Coker, Columbia and Carolina. Mr. Matteson stated that the pur pose of the organization is to develop student leadership and to foster among the colleges of the state a common bond in music as we already have in athletics and other college activities. The glee clubs need such an organi zation to bring then in closer touch with each other and every member will surely receive some definite good. Not More Than 30 Each club entering into the associa tion shall consist of not more than thirty members, and not less than twenty, one of whom shall be leader. A director of music or coach must ac company each group. Those eligible to the glee club are all undergraduate students or special students. Each club shall sing three numbers; one of the club's own choice which must be se lected and presented to the board Qf directors before December 1st of each year. ;This is to be a standard classic, The next shall be the prize song se lected by a committee, selected by the board of directors, two members com ing from each college in the associa tion. Then each club shall sing a col lege song, either the alma mater or some "peppy" college song. The executive committee of the col lege holding the competition shall have the power to select three judges from out of the state, but they must be ap p)rovedl by all the competitors. In judging the contest the judges shall give to the choice song thirty points, to the p)rize song fifty points, and twenty to the college song. The mer its to be considered are: ensemble, in terp)retation, tone, diction and pitch. Scores Separate: Each judge making a separate score, and giving only the prize and honor db)le mention to one. Every club is to receive its individual score immediate ly after the performance. On the even ing before the concert the governing boardl shall meet and draw lots for the ordled of appearance. A deposit of five dollars membership fee is to be made by all clubs to carry on the business of the association. It is not yet (decided whether it will be possible to have a meeting this spring because there is such a short (Continuted to page eight.)
