Officers Present There will be an important meeting of the University of South Carolina Alumni Association to he held in this city 011 the twenty-eighth, Saturday, of this month. Already a luncheon is planned besides the meetings. President Timmerman urges that all members be present as it is very essential that a better and a stronger organization be formulated. Generally speaking, for the past the University of South Carolina has promoted one of the most outstanding associations of its kind in the south, however, today there is still need for improvement. If each person leaving the University would pledge himself to joining this organization, then, certainly much would eventually be accomplished. This coming year will be the third consecutive term for both Messrs. Timmerman and Early. Each of these gentlemen have done much toward bringing the association to its present standard. It is through their efforts that such a formible organization is being instituted. In an interview with Mr. Early it was learned that a plan was under way to form a more thorough organization, and to continue the present work, only in a more systematic way. The meeting Saturday marks what is expected to be the greatest move toward making of the association the strongest in the state. The seven vice-presidents compose the Alumni council, which act as a board of directors for the Association. A semi-annual meeting is held each year, and it is at these that all endeavors are made toward forming a more successful, and everlasting organization. What the Alumni Association is in dire need of is more members. To attain these members will require work. Much work is needed for anything that pertains to subscriptions, but any Carolina man should pledge himself one and all to this movement. Within a few years it is hoped that the University can say that they truly have lie strongest organization of its kind in the state, and possible the south. Secretary Early has worked hard toward bettering this cause, and it is greatly hoped that he will continue with his worthwhile work during the coming years to come. A harder, and more faithful worker could hardly be found throughout the years. The following are the officers of the Alumni ^ Association for the coming year. These men were elected to these positions at the annual Alumni meeting on June 11, 1 ?:>!>. George Bell Timmerman, president, Batesburg, South Carolina. R. M.

This action was taken in recognition of Dr. Weston's services to the science of nutrition. The degree of Doctor of Public Health has been conferred only two or three times by the Medical College and for that reason the honor is the more signal. Dr. Weston has devoted much time to the study of nutrition and is generally regarded as an authority on the subject. He has been instrumental in bringing to the attention of the people of the state and of the nation the nutrive properties of food products of South Carolina, especially in regard to their iodine contents.

Especially so when we have new arch lights every ten yards. Broadway will have to come from the slump, so to speak if they expect to compete with the newly erected whiteway on the University campus. The new Freshman class wish to know from the Registrar just what the Breakage fee is for? We wonder!

"Never mind brother I made three visits myself." A great excitement was created at the Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority the other night when it was learned that one of their beloved sisters was to be married Sunday. A full moon was blamed.

Home Coming Day will welcome many old grads back to the campus. Many are discussing whether the new swimming pool will be complete in time for the high dives of the day?

Sept. 20, 1929. Deer Bill: I am running for sheff this term and wish you would vote for me. My guarantee is to provide Burney with the worlds best Scotch.

Of cordial interest to the public was the marriage of Miss Mary Snootz to Mr. B. F. Potter on Monday last. The beautiful suburban home of the bride was artistically decorated with sweet peas, while on the lawn could be seen the many cows of Mr. Snootz, who is one of the county's best dairymen. Following the ceremony a delicious course of buttermilk with onions was served. This was followed by a delicious barrel of lightning. The lightning was made by Mr. Jerry Snootz, brother of the giver in marriage, who is now spending some time in the penitentiary in Atlanta, studying the archecture, or what have you. The END.
