departments and has become an in

City, and has won national repute as a
standard cultural school, and is regis

University of the State of New York

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.

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

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.

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 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.
