C., TUESD.' 7, JANUARY 7, 1930 No. 13 Univ. Treasurer Ends Long Life MANY FLORAL TRIBUTES George H. Huggins For Many Years City Postmaster And Later Treasurer Of Univ. George H. Huggins, for many years the beloved treasurer of the University, died Tuesday evening, December 17th. Mr. Huggins was 69 years old and his life was one of great service to Columbia and to the University. He was city postmaster for a number of years, taking up his duties as treasurer shortly after the conclusion of the World War. The funeral was held at the Trinity Episcopal Church Wednesday. A large crowd was present at the services and the floral tributes were extremely beautiful, the wreath from the University faculty and students being particularly outstanding. Dr. D. M. Douglas paid high tribute to Mr. Huggins when he said: "In the first place lie loved the University and was an outstanding example of loyalty to it and to those he served. Everyone he served had perfect confidence in both his ability and loyalty. "In the second place, he was an example of efficiency. Nothing was small in his sight. Everything had to be done promptly and exactly right. When the state auditors examined his books, I hadn't the slightest fear but that they would find everything in perfect condition, which was always the case. "In the third place, he was an example of Christian courtesy. He loved his church but also loved everybody else's. He was firm but always polite, always ready to serve but never willing to violate a rule. Everybody who did business with him had perfect confidence in him, and though their wishes might not always be granted his courteous manner always forestalled resentfulness. "Ever since I have been president of the University I have leaned very heavily 011 him for advice and guidance in handling the finances of the University and will solely miss his wise counsel. He was honored and loved by every member of the faculty and student body, and we feel that more than a mere treasurer has been taken from the University. "For the last six years, he had been training his successor, Frank F. Welbourne, who has been appointed to take his place, subject to confirmation by the board of trustees." CHEERIOS TO END SEASON IN HIGH MANY LETTERS RECEIVED , To Cheer Boxers And Basketeers In Special Section Of Field House According to a recent announcement by Nigel League, head cheer leader, the plan of organized cheering during the football season will be continued during the boxing and basketball seasons. A new feature will probably be added in that arrangements are under way to have the band take a regular part in the activities. v A section of the field house will be marked off and designated for the "Cheerios" and all loyal Carolinians are asked to sit in this section. The formation of an organized cheering section, under the name of the Cheerio, originated during the past football season, under the supervision of Mr. League. Much good has been accomplished in the effort to give I University teams the backing that they deserve. Many letters of favorable comment have been received from all sections of the state, and several alumni have expressed the hope that the system will be improved further. Mr. League, when interviewed by a Gamecock reporter, said: "Presentation of Cheerio emblems have been deferred until after the conclusion of the basketball and boxing seasons and can still be won by loyal Cheerios at these games. We do not propose to let up in our efforts to give the Gamecocks the best support of any college teams in the state. We are not at all discouraged in the degree of cooperation received in the past and have hopes that it will be even improved in the future."

The subjects were based on a method of developing character. Some of the subjects were as follows: what is Christian character, courtisy honesty, sportsmanship, unselfishness, dependability, the source of all character. The method followed was to learn to do the things we practice doing lhe members of the groups picked out particular situations in which they thought there was weakness and then tried to practice doing the right thing in those situations realizing that after all the control of character came through a powerful love of Christ typifing the love of God FORMER STUDENT IS FOUND IN N.
