Alumni Alumni Trail _J S While a stadium-struck Alumni association is racking its resources in an effort to start the actual project on its way and a committee is feeling out the prospective ways and means of building a University stadium, another v move of equal importance is being a sponsored by the Alumni. It is the C establishment of a press bureau. n The idea of a press agency was in- E troduced and fostered long ago by t< men mindful of this great need for n the Univcrstiy. It has not succeeded, however, because of lack of funds and f< lack of enthusiasm among the more i: potent instigators. I Bureau Certain s The present press bureau drive has h found an able advocator in the Alumni ti association and seems to be headed for a more favorable end than other fi similar attempts. The student body, V the faculty and the Alumni are all 11 cognizant of the fact that a press o agency would be a valuable sub- C sidiary to the University. With everybody thus in sympathy with the move h and the alumni sponsoring it heartily F it seems that the dreams of a press t< bureau arc soon to be realized. f< When Carolina closed its football I season in Tennessee last Saturday tl many alumni who have been pointing s to the Gamecocks with pride in their victories this fall and arguing to the c last straw after their losses will now k inevitably lose all interest in the Alma Mater and in the rush and scurry of business, forget that they ever came to a place called Carolina. Membership Drive These are the men that are holding back on the Alumni association. They are not falling in with the work to better the University and are only alumni when the football seasons roll around. They forget that the other activities on the campus are equally s important to a well rounded institu- v tion and that they too need the attention of the alumni. n Membership drives are being r launched this winter in an effort to s bring these stragglers into the folds n of the Alumni association and get ? them interested in all phases of the C] University. With an eligible member- ^ ship of 4,000 and only 450 enrolled * the association is not functioning at ^ its full strength and until more members can be signed up the group will be unable to hold their own with the alumni organizations of other uni- 1 versities. c n.i.o. c GEORGE GALLETLY VISITS COLUMBIA 1 IS GRADUATE OF COLUMBIA George Galletly, graduate of the University of South Carolina in the class of '18 spent a short vacation in Columbia recently.
