MANY STUDES IN DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM Enrollment Increases from Eight to Sixty Students in Four Years' Time FIRST YEAR DISCOURAGING Many Honor Men on Campus Have Received Degress in This School From eight students four years ago, the School of Journalism has increased to 60 this year. Of the 60 taking courses in this department at the pres ent time, fully one third of them in tend going into the newspaper profes sion. Mr. Ball, then editor of The State, was made dean of the department, and had charge of arranging the courses. The first year was rather discouraging, but the students began investigating and taking a course in the department for optional work and many changed to the full course. Four men have received diplomas in this department and several have re ceived certificates. C. B. Williams, of Orangeburg, now telegraph editor of the Greenwood Index-Journal, was the first graduate in 195. Williams, while on the campus, was editor of The Gamecock and president of the Clario sophic society. Three graduated in 1926. W. L. T. Crocker, of Newberry, former editor of The Gamecock and president of the South Carolina College Press Association, is still on the cam pus. He has a fellowship in the jour nalism department and is working for an M. A. degree. F. M. Minshall, of Abbeville, the third man to receive his degree from this department, is working on The Spartanburg Herald, and while on the campus was editor of the Garnet and Black. J. V. Nielsen, of Charleston, the other graduate, is also taking his M. A. degree and has a fellowship. Last year, he was editor of The Caro lfnian and associate editor of The Gamecock. Arthur Cornwell, of Chester, the first to receive his certificate in jour nalism, is working on the Chester pap ers and lately won the state music con test. Miss Ellen Hough, another who received a certificate, is society editor of the Chester News. Mrs. Morrow, who completed work in the department has been writing feature stor'es for the Abbeville papers. Along with this department, a need was felt for an organization of those interested in writing, so under the leadership of Dr. Ball, the Press club was formed, with about six charter members. McBride Dabbs was the first president. This club also started off w'th a small membership, but now has an enrollment of over 25. Only those taking journalism, or those who are on the staffs of the campus publications. are eligib)le for membership. Trhis club is modeled after the jour nalistic organizations of the larger schools, such as the Pulitzer school andl the Medlill school. Once each year. they have a stunt night somewhat like the fatmous Gr'diron club. Last year. the affair was in the forim of a Bohemian party in the attic of the old president's home. --BAT FURMAN - Carolina Glee Club Gives Radio.

OLSON'S BAND SPENDS WEEK ORANGEBURG Asked to Return Again for Next Year's County Fair in the Edisto City MEN FIND TRIP NO LARK Gave Two One-Hour Concerts Daily-Specal Selection for Fire Acts The University of South Carolina band, under the direction of Profes sor George E. Olson, last week trans cended the usual field of college act - vities and stepped into the world of professionalism, when a four day en gagement was played at the Orange burg County fair, one of the biggest county fairs in the state. It was learn ed this week that the Orangeburg Fair Associaion had requested the services of the band for next year's fair. Wh'le the prevailing opinion was that the trip would be something of a lark, the men realized often the first days work the seriousness of the job they had undertaken and that their act had to go over "big" just as that of any other performer or group of performers on the grounds. Judging by the favorable comment heard the band was successful in its endeavors. One hour concerts were played daily at 11 a. in., and 6:30 p. in., the selections ranging from the classical to modern dance h'ts and novelties. The band also -gave appropriate musi cal settings for the free acts which took place twice daily and attracted large crowds from all over the grounds. All the members of the band are satisfied with the results of the trip and feel that they have accomplished some thing really worthwhile for the Uni vers ty. The job was not easy, no little hardship was experienced. [' ER , INC. c Goods 1 Sts. Columbia, S. C. 1 Li Be Served Liberty and lit of Thirst trally lead to oca-Cola's happy efre shment.
