Exchange Comments NEW ZEALAND DEBATERS VISIT HAWAII CAMPUS / The University of Victoria debating team of Auckland, New Zealand, composed of W. J. Mountjoy, G. R. Powles, and W. J. Hall were visitors last Friday at the first student body convocation held at the gymnasium. Joe Gerdes, president of the student body, who presided at the meeting, introduced the team to the assembly. The Victoria team is on its way to Canada and the United States and arrived in Honolulu on Thursday afternoon 011 the Aorangi. They were met at the dock by Leong Fong, president of the Hawaii Union, and were taken immediately by Fong on a sightseeing tour of the city. The debaters left on the same ship the afternoon of the next day. Luck to you, Victoria debaters, but remember you are not world champions 'till you beat Carolina's debating team.

Smith, president of Roanoke College, in commenting 011 the Carnegie Foundation report, said that good football teams are a purchaseable commodity, and should be listed 011 the stock exchange. This report dealt with the widespread practice of recruiting and subsidizing athletics in American colleges and universities. Virginia institutions came off easy because only one of them was included in the survey, Dr. Smith pointed out. Dr. Smith's statement is as follows: "The Carnegie Foundation has stated facts which have already been known. All the pious denials by high college executives and athletic officials are simply humorous. "Good football teams arc a purchasable commodity. They should be listed 011 the Stock Exchange."?The Brackety, Ark. "Have you ever taken Latin?" "I have." "What's the word for wine?" "Vinum." "Will you decline it?" "Not by a long shot." ?Pcnn. State Froth. CO-EDS CAN BE THRILLED AFTER ALL A number of Southwestern students are interested in aviation. A co-ed, Mary Gardner Patterson, has had more than average experience flying. She likes to fly and has flown in the following planes: Fledgling, Ford Trimotor Cessna, Waco, CurtissRobin, Curtiss-Falcon, P. T. I., Travelair, Fleet Training Plane, and Stinson-Dctroiter. ^ "My most thrilling experience," says 'Skippy'," "was when I nearly fell out of a plane. I was flying in the front cockpit of an open cockpit ship. I had been strapped in too tight, so I loosened the safety belt. The pilot knew my craze for stunting, but had told me the weather was too rough. But lie thought I understood he was joking, so he suddenly started putting the ship through a series of loops and barrel rolls. When the plane got right side up, I was lifted completely out of the cockpit. Luckily the main struts were handy, and I grabbed them as I started down. I looked like Mrs. Tarzan on a grape vine, swinging through the air. Only I had her 011 altitude. I was five thousand feet in the clouds. It seemed as if I was suspended in this sad position for several years, while I kept wondering when I would fall, and how it would feel to wake up chewing daisies Nothing like that happened, though, and finally the ship was righted, and I sat down again with a bump. Gee, that was some ride! ?Sou' Westei 11. WHERE BEAUTY RULES At Princeton the freshmen were called to name "the most essential quality in the ideal girl."

BOYS SERVED BIO PEED THURSDAY ELABORATE DINNER GIVEN Mrs. Henning Make Homesick ' Boys Feel At Home With Big Meal Thanksgiving When Thanksgiving Day rolls around, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of turkey, as the poet said. But pity the poor college student who, with only one day to be thankful on and no way to get home, must needs spend his time on the old campus 1 Yet a decided homely touch was given the day by the elaborate turkey dinner served on Thanksgiving Day by Mrs. S. P. Henning, matron of Stewards Hall. The menu was as follows: Turkey, with dressing Celery. Cranberry Sauce. Candied Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows. Macaroni. English Peas. Fruit salad, a la lettuce. Cherry Ice Cream. Cocoanut, Chocolate, White Bread, and Plain cake. Oranges, Bananas, Apples, and Peanuts. One hundred and twenty-nine people were served during the hour. The amount of food used reminds us of the tables famous in the South before the Civil War. Ninety pounds of turkey, a bushel and a half of sweet potatoes, four gallons of English peas, along with large quantities of fruit, cake, ice cream, and other foodstuffs were necessary to provide this feast. There was no supper served Thursday night but 110 one who indulged in this feast could possibly have needed it. 17. 8.O.

The next meeting will be on Thursday night at which time the members will engage in a round table discussion on the work of the Freshman council. U.H.O. STEWART MAKES STRIDE IN RADIO University Student Has Had Much Success As Amateur Operator BY ROMULUS REESE (In The State Dec. 1) Amateur radio telephony has made such forward strides in South Carolina that clubs have been organized, relay work begun, and at the present time delegates are being selected for the Fourth district convention, which will be held in Atlanta, December 27 and 28. A club was formed at the University of South Carolina by a number of amateurs Wednesday night for the purpose of promoting interest in the possibilities of amateur radio. The club plans to co-opcrate with other amateurs throughout America in message relay work. For the past week Bannic L. Stewart, university student, has been talking nightly with friends, picking them out at random from Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts and Kansas. In fact, he calls at will any amateur within the range of his station. Stewart's call number is W4CE. He operates a low power two-tube set made by himself. On his receiver he has picked up Eindhoven (Holland), Chelmsford (England), transatlantic telephone and listened in on Com1 LOOK INTO THIS ITEMAI* MATTKK! awl Whiteman record that's a real smash. 8, the King of Jazz sets the pace for the lance music. urself on knowing the smartest and latest i its, jou must hear these two great talkie s master bandsman. rs are worthwhile, too <1 No. 2010-D, 10'inch, 75c rf.N't We All?

Stewart, along with a number ol other students, learned radio at the University in a course under Prof, A. C. Carson of i!.c physics department. The college authorities added this course to the curriculum three years ago. Amateur work has played a great | part in the development of radio, Some of the greatest discoveries in the earlier stages of the new science were made by the "hams." Having helped develop radio to where it plays a large part in the daily economical and political life of the country, the amateurs now have turned to the building up of shortwave work and helping toward further discoveries in television. All amateur broadcasting, at present, is on short wave. The field of short wave work has only been scratched. The tremendous possibilities of it are shown by the fact amateurs with small sets, built sometimes at as low cost as $1.50, can pick up Java, Holland or Australia. The short wave does not require the power of the long for great distances but is harder to control.
