Edwards of the Univer sity has been signally honored, as has been the school, by his being given a three year scholarship to the Biblical seminary in New York. The scholar ship, amounting to $2,250, will be dis tributed oveer a period of three years. This favor signifies that the Univer sity ranks high with the other univer sities and colleges, as only a few have been granted this honor, and that the Bible department at the University has won a high place with the other departments and has become an in tegral part of the University. The Biblical seminary in New York, formerly Doctor White's seminary, is located in the heart of New York City, and has won national repute as a standard cultural school, and is regis tered by the board of regents of the University of the State of New York as an approved school of theology, in its courses leading to the degrees of S. T. B., S. T. M., and S. T. D. It is interdenominational in character, and its courses are scholarly, constructive, worshipful, practical and helpful in every way. It is in close connection to New York university, the univer sity co-operating in offering courses leading to an M. A. degree. This scholarship is granted to a senior having several requisites. The student must be well rounded in cam pus, social and scholastic life, must be nominated by the faculty, and passed by the seminary, and must have 'a scholastic standing of 80 or more, not having made less in any, subject. He must plan to take three years work at the seminary in addition to these requisites. Mr. Edwards lof Darlington was awarded the first scholarship, being nominated unanimously by the faculty of the Unniversity. O. D. K.

STUDENTS PETITION' FACULTY FOR MAGAZINE (Continued from page one) manager, circulation manager, and advertising manager be elected by the retiring editor, business manager and other department heads respec tively because they will know better thin any/ne else who is capable of doing thework. The editor and business manager propose to be personally responsible for the financing of this magazine for the first year after that time it will be turned over to the student body. If the publication is a success the first year under private financing the future will be assured. There can be no doubt but what a publication of this kind is the most successful of any other type of college publication and a* greater interest is always shown. After the first year all surplus funds are to be turned over to the student body to be applied on the financing of same for future issuas under the direction of the student body. A publication of this nature will have a large news-stand sales and subscriptions will easily be secured in high schools throughout this and other states and thus impress these students with the University of South Carolina. The petition that was signed by the student body has been signed and recommended by more than fifty of the most prominent students and especially those who have had ex perience with college publications on the campus. This alone indicates that the students are anxious to have a comic magazine and under the condi tions of the petition there can be, no doubt but what the faculty will see their point of view. The petition will be presented to the faculty Wednesday for their consid eration and if it passes and this has practically been assured a contest will be held the latter part of this week for a name for the new publication.

National headquart. ers, adhering to its policy of taking in he larger colleges and universities, has ocen forced to turn down dozens of petitions from groups at the smaller colleges. The founder of the fraternity, B. C. Riley of -the University of Florida an nounces that the present policy of ex pansion will be kept up as groups that meet with national approval petition. The idea of service advanced by Blue Key fraternity bids fair to expand still more widcly in the future that is has iii the past.

The Kismet Club was organized about eight years ago for the sole purpose of petitioning Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Since the anti-fraternity laws of South Carolin; have been repealed, fraterni ties have beeIt fast taking advantage of the situation and entering the Univer sity. The University is idealy located near the heart of the state, and being '.he largest school in the state, makes it all more saitable for fraternities en tering. The Kismet Club has been working hard to obtain a chapter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity here and it is hopeful that this ambition of the club will soon be realized. The active members oaf the club are: J. S. Farr, president; Drufus Griffin, vice-president; Ed Farr, treasurer; V. Ct Gregory. secretary; Leo Thomas, W. W. Swink, R. E. Fulmer, Harry Wolfe, Roddey Hough, R. M. Co. vington, W. M. Quattlebaum, and L. N. Clark. Last year Mr. J. F. Lumpkin, presi dent of the general council of the Phi Delta Theta in 1910-12, was in Colum bia and became interested in the Kis met clb. He successfully organized a Columbia alumni- chapter of the Phi Delta Tibeta. This organization has been basking the group strongly. Re. cently Mr. Ball. assistant nnational sec. retary of the fraternity made a visit to Columbia for the purpose of looking over the group and also the University. . .. in scient . Reginald C.

In Oc'ober of 1928 a province con vention will be held at the University of North Carolina, at which time dele gates from five chapters of the province will meet to pass upon the Kismet Club. It is hoped by the Club and the Phi Delta Thetas of the State and neighbor ing chapters that the Kismet Club will be favored by this convention. If the Club passes the province, delegates will be sent to the National Convention in December 192R to be held in Nashville, Tenm., and if accepted will be granted a charter. At present, there is no chapter of the fraterni:y in South Carolina. The:e were formally two chapters, Alpha at W'offord College 1879-85; and the l3eta at the University of South Carolina 1882-93. As stated above it was the hope of reestablishing the Beta chaptr of Phi Delta Theta at the University that the Kismet Club was originally organized. fc test of Vanderbilt tell the difference, when ,ht when invited to make i, as they were handed to ed there was one that was thers and richer in taste.
