Assistant 'TUI;SDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1928 Welcome Delegates Representative of the various college publcation, cf South Carolina are meeting in Columbia Thursday and Friday of this week. It need hardly be said that those students are heartily welcome to the University campus as well as to Columbia as a whole. The very fact that representatives of the institutions from which these stu. dents cote, chose Columbia as their meeting place for this year, should miake Columbia and Chicora Colleges and even more the University, anxious to have them visit and feel welcome Columbia is near the center of the state and a more desirable place could not have been chosen, but it is certain that there are more attractions which brought about the selection than one. The Gamecock w ishes to express the sentiment of the student body by welcoming these delegates to the Uni versity campus. One of Fifteen 'lThe New York Southlerni Society has designated the U niversity of(I SouthI Carolina as one( (If the fifteen insi tnt ions wherein the A\lgernoni Sydney Sullivan Award established( mi honor of the Society's first president, may b)e imadle.

It may b)e bestowed annually upon one man and one woman of the graduating class, and phose awhio receive it shall have demonstrated their worthiness% to typify thlat spirit (If brotherly love which was the corner-stone of lie life of Mr. Sullivan. The object of tihe New York Southern Society in estab)lishinlg this Award is to perpetuate tile influence >f a life whlich exemplllilies the highest type of manhood andl to enlcourage in others the characteristics which made Algernon Sydney Sullivan beloved of all who knew him. The Award shall in no wise be blased upon scholastic, athletic or other collegiate attainments, but rather upon that quality, much broader in its scope, which is best described as a desire to be of service, to help our fel lows in combating the daily problems of life. The Award Bulletin will be found, in the University Library and it is urgently suggested that students fam iliarize themselves with the requirements which will make themi eligible for htis recognition. The opportu Wity of aspiring to this honor is one that will be eagerly grasped by ~the *tttdent body, we feel sure. Interest in the success of this effort to raise the standard of community life can but express our appreciation for the opportunity thus rovided by the Southern Society whereby the University of South Carolina may confer recognition upon those men and women who, in gener ous unselfishness consistently contribute to the uplift and betterment of humanity. The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award will be made at Commencement by the ccommittee on the Sullivan Award. -u. s.c.. OPEN FORUM To the Editor of The Gamecock Your "Open Forum" column has heretofore opened to hear appeals and protests of a highly miscellaneous nature. I hope this communication will not enroach on its generosity. Everyone at Carolina s acquainted, after some fash ion, with the University gymnasium. To some it is sim ply a rather make-shift spot for Saturday night hoof ing. To others it is a purgatorial region, where one is forced to go and crucify the flesh by sundry inane but prescribed, contortions-that the spirit may be free to grapple with Math 2 and French 21, etc. Of course, there is still a third group to whom a "gym" means s.imply a training school for desired athletic endeavor. Nor is this all. There is yet one other nebulous clas sification unmentioned. I mean those who care not for Saturday night dances, are not bounl to take regular gym, and are not competing for a position on any team, but voluntarily,' of their own free will and ac cord, resort to the Olympic temple on Green Street for their own personal delectation-and perspiration. There really are an amazing mumber of such oddities- at large on the campus, and it is chiefly from their standpoint that I wish to say a word. I know both the victims of the gym classes and the contenders for boxing, wrestling, gym and other teams cannot.but be aware, and willing to attest, the increased efficiency, smoother routine, more personalized atten tion and added zest with which all gym schedules and operation are conducted now, as compared to several years ago. I think it hardly necessary to point out that this happier dispensation is largely,. if not exclusively, due to the work of Mr. Crawford. I say, I am sure that anyone attending gym in a regular department has been impressed by Mr. Crawford's unassumed enthu siasm for his work and the time and care which he gives to every detail thereof; and the facility and snap with which he invests what might be tiresome and list. less routine . Not so conscious iS the average student of the labor necessary in straightening records, rehabil itating apparatus, checking disbursements, hunting pros. pective material for various teams, etc. in giving the gym its new atmosphere of relish. There can be no doubt that in revivifying gym work and increasing its scope Mr. Crawford is rendering the University a service without which it would be more seriously, though un obtrusively, crippled. than is generally recognized. The effects of the punch which Mr. Crawford brings to his wvork redounds to the benefit of the first three group)s cited above. Being myself a sporadic membe' of last division of course I anm of the opinion that Mr Crawvfordh's muost signal achievement lies in this iet, to wvit, you can wander into the gym at any time (ex cep)ting occasionns when the co-eds are cultivating the body beautiful' and find room, applaratus and advice for sub)jecting your frame to any' sort of misery it will standI. I maintain it is quite an accomplishment for a imn to put the regular work on such frictionless basis. that he can welcome irregular dlevotees of the sweaty arts wvith open arms. Yet Mr. Crawvford has so success fully executed this coup, that there are approximately a hundred boys, who drop over to the gym with more or less frequency, simplhy because they have been madc to fee that their advent is no intrusion, but an expected ad. dlition. Now on know you can't consider the University a niachine when you can drop in the gym for a pant and-sweat as informally as you once slipped off to the creek for a swim. A nice home-like touch, we call it. But in south gentle readers, Mr. Crawford is di., charging an exacting position with as marked success a: any representative of the University. If "they" will chase those devastating dances out of his gym, raise his salary to a remuneration on which a family man can live and give him leeway, Mr. Crawford will make the gym an institution that will reflect more credit on, and 'do more advertising for South Carolina than any.other medium.
