It is expected tha workmen will enter the dormitorie Thursday afternoon, the 9th, and Fri (lay morning, the 11th of June, to pu them in order for the summer schoc students. All students of the regular ses oi who expect to attend the summer tern and wish to reserve dormitories, shouh see the Director of the Summer Schoo immediately, and make their reserva tions. This is especially important be cause certain units of the men's dormi tories will be assigned to women stu dents during the summer term. Build ings already designated for women'. dormitories for the coming summe term are Wardlaw and Hurney col leges. Students desiring to retain foi the summer, the rooms they now oc. cupy, should see the Director of the Summer School, promptly -to ascer. tain whether this arrangement may be made. All student belongings should be taken out of the dormitories as earlb as possible after June 9th, as the sum mtter school cannot be responsible for the property of students left in the dormi,ories. Many of the courses organized for the coming summer term are so plan ned that regular students in the Uni versity may take them and thus ad vance their credits toward gr.duatioi -USc RECORD QUOTES EDITORIAL FROM 'THE GAMECOCK PRAISES "WANTED--A MAN' Polier's Article Receives Com mendation-Salary of Presi dent too Low, Says Editor In the "Record" of Wednesday there appeared an ed torial on th Trustees Problem, pertaining, as migh be gathered from the subject, to tl election of a president of the Univer sity. This editorial spoke in high term of the one appearing in the Gamecoc of last week, written by Isadore Pol ier. who has had charge of the editor ial pol .cy of the paper thruont th, past term, declaring it to be a felicitou and able article. After quoting liberally from th, Gamecock article the Record edito has the following to say "T1here is. we know, the qiuest ion< salary, Dr. AI elton. being a ani of in dlependlent means, was able to sen~ for the poor stipend that the sovereig State of South Carolina appropriat< for the piosit ion-a position mnor far-reaching in its influence and in portance than any other in th state a salary nio greater than that p)a'd I the heads of some clerical dlepartmiten' of the State's government.

Ever stop to thinlo how many of those lines will be read by friends and relatives of University graduates this year, and how many smiles and frowns they will bring? Aproximately one person in every 230 in this state will receive an invitation from one of the seniors of the Univer sity, and of the invitations one-third wili be leather, and htwo-thirds card board. $959.60 was spent for these and it costs four cents to send them through the mail, or a total of $158.40 for the stamps, making a grand total of $1,118 expended altogether. There are ,93 in the class of 1926, and the average number of invitations or dered by each student was 20. Of these approximately one-third of them are leather and the rest the regular paper on1es. V'ach leather invitation has about 35 square inches of leather on each ex clusive of the strings. Doubling this. for both covers, it will total 70 square inches of leather per invitation, or a grand total of 86,100 square inches of leather to make all of them. For the modern flappers slippers, it takes only 50 square inches of leather; thus the amount used in the invitations would shod 1,722 girls, or all those at Men of ( - WHERE DO Y S SH( e PROBABLY WHEI s THE MOST ST' MON Mimnaugh's o IS THE CENTER(4 e FOR MEN.

Mr. Benet stressed the honor invol ved in the law profession, saying that in many cases men trusted lives and property to the honor of a lawyer. Harry Cantey, president of the jun ior class acted as toastmaster and de Itvered the address of welcome to the seniors. D. J. Jenkins, president of the senior class, made the response. Each member of the faculty of the law school gave a short talk to the graduating class. Columbia, Chicora aAid the University combined. How about the number of presents that will be received; what will be the batting average? Our dignified senior strolled into the canteen and put in an order for 45 in vitations, but just two of them leather. "What's the big idea?" lie was asked. "Oh," was the reply, "One of them is 'for my girl, and the other is for my aunt-the others are for my father's friends, lie's a preacher, and they'll ex ,ect one, though they don't even kno.v 'me." Girls generally ordered about 3 times as many invitations of both varieties as the boys however. The boys bought about 15 and the girls 45. Most of the boys evidently thought it was unmaniy to order more. ;aroina!
