$45,OO MADE BY 3 UNIV. STUDENTS WS DURING TERMS About 245 Weea Employed Thru Y.M.C.A. Employment Bu reau Last -Year g NEW POLICY IS ADOPTED Student. Must Register With Deans of Departmnts Before Employment Will Be Secared' Student employment handled by the "Y" will be ' worked on a new basis according to information received from Mr. R. G. Bell. The "Y" does a great work every year in securing employ ment for Carolina men and the new policy is adopted with the idea of se curing better jobs and filling them with better men who are anxious to work. By the new policy all students wish ing employment must register for this and then the committee will seek the job. Students in the professional schools will register with the deans of The respective schools. The remainder of the committee with the "Y" officers will handle students of the school of arts and sciences. Sam Burke is stu dent chairman of the committe. Mr. Bell declares that the office is determined to surpass the fine record of last year. The problem of finding jobs depends largely on the financial dondit!on of the state. Below is an article from the Game cock of April 23, 1926, telling of the 1 work done by this committee last year. Students of the University of South l Carolina earn over $45,OOQ a year, ac- l cording to an estimate by R. G. Bell. This estimate includes only students who are on the Y.M.C.A. employment office books; students who secure jobs through or connected with the "Y", and is only for the scholastic year. An es timate for the summer months could not be made r'tisfactorily. About 249 1 students have been employed through this agency (about three are girls). Of' course these 150 have regular positioris and the other have temporary or odd jobs. A great variety+of work is being done by the students and some very unusual but most of the boys have such jobs as bookkeepers, stenographers, clerks, salesmen, and odd jobs. Approximately three-fourths of the working students are included in this estimate. It does not include such work as the orchestra, organizations, men working on commissions, summer work, (ellow- i ships, some students who work for meals, board, or such. As a general thing these are all year jobs which pay I better than the nine month positions covered by the estimate. It would be hard to compute the entire amount earned by all students. The Y.M.C.A. goes to a great deal Qf trouble to secure work for students. First thing done is the publishing of small bulletins on "Working One's Way Through College," by the Student Self-Support Committee which con tains .valuable informatidh for the work-) ing student. .] Just before the opening of school in< the fall, a committee goes to all of the< searching for every possible bit of work merchants and business men in the city that can be dug out. Then, when the students arrive, begins the work of distributing the jobs. Also( the "Y" keeps in touch with the house wives of the town so that when there are any odd jobs to be done students a can do thenm in their spare time and 2 earn a few extra pennies. Besides other help the Y.M.C.A. has secured three scholarships; for $150t $130, and $250, respectively. - u.s.c. - Ritchie's Daughters Attend University Dr. Ritchie, Author of Hygiene .Book Used in the Public Schools Today s The University is fortunate in hav ing as students Misses Margaret and Ruth Ritchie of Flermington, N.

Dr. Wardlaw's subject has not yet' been announced but every student may rest assured that he can find no better way to spend an hour's time than by attending this first service. It is intended to have these meet ings continue thruout the year, and several notable speakers have already promised their service in making this feature of religious activity on the :ampus better than ever before. Leslie Edwards is in charge of this phase of "Y" work and the meetings will be well advertised in the news ection of the Gamecock and by means )f cards and posters to be distributed )y his committee.

The above was the most frequent question of those freshmen attending the camp held at Twin Lakes from Saturday until Tuesday. . An exceptional interest in campus life and activity was shown by all, but the bugle call for dinner-and the other two meals as well-always met with the most sp:rited response from all present. Each morning and night discussions and conferences were held either by members of the faculty or by leaders in student life. The program was to a large extent carried out in accor dance with the desires of the 48 fresh men and the several upperclassmen present. The information given was along those lines most desired of the 48 freshmen and the several upper classmen present. The information given was along those lines most de sired and needed by those who had not previously attended this or any other college. "Choosing a Course" and "How to Study", two conferences held by Dean Baker and Dean Wardlaw were the outstanding features in regards to scholastic work while campus tradi tions and organizations were explain ed in detail by the three representa ti'ves of the senior committee who were present. The afternoons were free and Twin Lakes, at least one of the twins, is a swimming place than which there is no better. Consequently, as might have been expected, 48 freshmen could have be found in bathing suits every even ing except Sunday when part of them decided to try their legs on a hike to Camp Jackson, about three miles away. Apparently many were not accustomed to such exercise, for that night all slept the sleep of the just-tired. The sleeping quarters were good enough at this camp which was the first of its kihd in the South. But mosquitoes aided the late-goers and early-risers in making sleep impossible for those who desired the regulation eight hours. The longer the camp lasted the bet ter it was enjoyed and it was with sad faces that the group' climbed into the big bus of the Carolina Transit Co. and started back to Columbia where cruel upperclassmen awaited with nice pad dies given as advertisements by one of the sto::,; of "The City Unlimited." - U.S.C. - Freshman Banquet Wednesday Evening Diet of Chicken and Speeches for All Freshmen Obtaining Tickets Wednesday night, September 22, will see the gymnasium transformed from a place where people push and where money rattles to a temporary banquet hall where chicken is on the menu. For on that night the "Y" banquet is given at 7 o'clock and all those who obtai.ned their ticlgets-these ,tickets are free-at Flinn Hall by 5 p. m. Tuesday evening will be allowed to enter on the right hand. Those who have neglected this item will be the goats of the affair and for them no chicken will be forthcoming. The speakers have not yet beenr nounced, but that they will be the best obtainable goes without question. Freshmen receptions come only once in a lifetime; this opportunity knocks no more. Remember the time and place. - U.S.c. A spinister living in a London suburb was shocked at the language used by two men repairing telegraph wires She wrote to the company on the, matter, and the foreman was asked to report. This he did in the following way: "Me and Bill Fairweather were on this job. I was up the telegraph pole, and accidently let the hot lead fall on Bill. It went down his neck. Then Tie said, 'You really must be more careful, Harry.''
