Alumni Trail As a final gesture of a fading football year the South Carolina Gamecocks will cross the mountains into Tennessee next Saturday and attempt to do the seemingly impossible against the unbeaten Tennessee Volunteers. Much praying and hoping will be done in anticipation of an upset in Carolina's favor, but it is beyond the highest expectations of the most ardent Gamecock followers that cuch an upset will take place. However, it is beyond this game and further into the future that our alumni interest centers. The schedulemaking, the 1930 prospects, and the proposed stadium furnish enough sources of excitement and interest to stir up some enthusiastic post season activity among the old graduates. Stadium Certain That South Carolina will open the 1930 football season in a new stadium is almost a certainty, but since the alumni announced their plans to sponsor the building of a stadium other developments have somewhat muddled the situation, making it necessary for us to wait for more information. The other developments that we refer to are the plans announced last Sunday revealing the steps taken to build a Municipal Stadium in Columbia. The Alumni association is resenting this move, however, because it will be intended to house all of the ' athletic meets and public entertainments and other forms of popular sports in Columbia and it is more or less intimated that the University must take care of the financial phase of the proposition. With the schedule that the Gamecocks are essaying for next year it is all important that they have a commodious quarters to accommodate the larger crowds that will flock to see them strut their wares against more powerful opponents. Great Team The Gamecocks will lose only a very few men from the present aggregation and the sports writers are singing merry tunes of the winning Carolina team for the year 1930. Such a team will be an appropriate dedicator for a new stadium and such schedule as the Gamecocks are arranging will practically necessitate a larger grandstand. If there is a stadium built for the use of the University of South Carolina we cannot fathom it as a public entertainment arena, University athletic field, and a high school grandstand all in one. The University of South Carolina is large enough to use a stadium to itself in its athletic program, and if high school games and other major sports events have to be played there occasionally it will be all well, but as for a municipal stadium with the University only as a part owner is too far-fetched for us to see through. Probably the alumni will take further action on their original plans in a few days and we are anxious to know what action they will take concerning the municipal stadium or any other such unreasonable schemes. TENEMENT 17 LEADS RACE IN DISCUSSION GROUPS Tenement 12, Led By Nesmith Runs Close Second In Close Race With only three more meetings counting the meeting tonight, on the Discussion groups on Character building, Tenement 17, led by E. h. l'armer, has taken the lead away from 1 enement 2, led by Bannic Stewart, in the last meeting, with a total of 7*14 points. Tenement 2 and Tenement 12, led by Nesmith, are both within striking distance, while four more groups arc close behind. A check up of the attendance record shows that Tenement 17 hasn't a single absence since the series began, while Tenement 12 and Tenement 16 each have had only one absence, and Tenement 19 only two. Nearly 400 men have attended the discussion groups this yea,. Tonight is the last night as the 1 rules say, that each man to be counted : as a new member must be present at least three meetings. But visitors can 1 be secured for the rest of the series, provided that they do not come from 1 any tenement where a discussion 1 group is now meeting. At the last meeting a vote will be taken to see if those eligible for the reward would care for a reception or for a feed. The discussion for tonight will be on "Courtesy." The next subject will be "Unselfishness," to be followed by ? the final meeting on "Sources of Character." STUDENTS APPEAR IN GRAND OPERA Pennsylvania Uses Some 50 Students As "Extras" ?he University of South Carolina was represented quite heavily in the opera last Monday evening. Mr. Bell of the Y. M. C. A. issued calls Monday afternoon for a number of students to appear as "supers" in the Pennsylvania Grand Opera Company's presentation of "Aida." Mr. Bell specified that twenty men would be needed. When the students gathered together in the basement of the Columbia Theatre, some fifty or sixty representatives of the student body were awaiting the casting. No choice was shown. The students were herded in and picked in order of sequence. About thirty boys were finally selected and presented with whtCh dccrePit. ?nd musty uniforms which were said to represent those by?EgyPt,a" soldiers in the days of Cleo Patra and Mark. I he usual mob-scenes were the vehicles in which the students showed themselves to be true "extras." Mike W Indus presented an interesting spectacle, dressed in his Egyptian garb, and bearing an old idol, along thW Cr ,boys> The whole thing was a complete success and it is hoped that through the medium of this hrst appearance the student minds ^JeC?,Ve.3 dcfinitc stimulation tending to draw them toward the opera.

The following taken from the article gives the writers impression of one of our loJ*}y old buildings," the library, e c~ brary ?* the University of pouth Carolina is a lovely old buildr"ig' , rT.lr,eminds me of own Chapel Hill?vanished Chapel Hill of 30 years ago?and gave me a homesickness that was all the more, poignant because I knew it could never be assuaged. I admire our splendid new library here, and know it is what the University ought to have, but it's grandeur overpowers me. There is something so comforting and intimate about the one in Columbia with its old-fashioned white vaulted ceiling, and its sunny bays with windows opening out on the green campus, and aS f "of anient dignity and repose. And Mr. Kennedy, the librarian, who so graciously acted as my guide, fits perfectly into the atmosphere of the place. These days every institution seems to be yearning for expansion, for more and bigger buildings and me. : students. Inevitable, I know, an proper enough; but somehow I hat .o think that the University of 00 n Carolina will never have to 1 r \ts library into other quarters 1 ve it as it is. "In the library they have a room that serves as a sort of museum, and one of the exhibits is a collection of photographs showing the city of Columbia as it was just after Shermans army had passed through in the last year of the Civil war. The ^?te House partly demolished, public I buildings without their roofs, homes in ruins, whole blocks burned to the ground, wreckage and desolation on every hand. The city of today pre-1 sents an amazing contrast to these old pictures." U.B.O. DELEGATES LEAVE FOR CONVENTION PROFESSORS TO LOUISVILLE Dr. Davidson McDowell Douglas Dean L. T. Baker, and Prof. John A. Stoddard left Monday for Louisville Kentucky. They will attend the annual National Educational Convention I as official degelates from the Univer- l| sity of South Carolina.
