Palmetto Radio
Club is Formed
Amateurs Form Club To Become
Local Unit Of International
Radio Fraternity
The Falmetto Amateur Radio club
was formed Monday night January 6
of University students. There was a
good attendance and much interest
was shown in putting the project
across. Officers clected were: president,
Bannie Stuart, who operates
amateur station YV-tCIv, secretary and
treasurer, John W. Palmer, operating
amateur station W41J. The constitution
was presented and adopted, and
plans were made to become the local
unit of the American Radio Relay
League, which is an international radio
fraternity.
At present the club is made up entirely
of amateurs located at the University.
All members are licensed
amateur operators and have had several
years' experience in radio work.
Plans are now underway to make
membership open to all licensed amateur
operators in Columbia and the
vicinity; this will be possible in the
very near future. Any one who is interested
in such work or who would
like to become affiliated with the club
is requested to look up some member
and talk the matter over with him.
There are several amateur broadcasting
stations on the campus which
are operated every night by the members
of the club in experimental work.
The operators have offered to handle
messages to any destination free of
charge.
There are only thirty licensed amateurs
in South Carolina. Ten of these
are in Columbia. This is a rather
small number for the state, but
through the efforts of the Palmetto
Amateur Radio club it is hoped that
the number will be greatly increased.

McKISSICK TALKS
ON JOURNALISM
IN CHAPEL WEDNESDAY
"If you are out for the big money,
pass up the newspaper profession,"
declared J. Rion McKissick, dean of
the School of Journalism, in an address
in chapel Wednesday on
"Journalism as a Profession."
Dean McKissick declared that newspapermen's
salaries are small when
compared what other professions pay.
However, he adds, newspaper salaries
are somewhat higher than they used
to be.
'If you arc looking for opportunity
for real service to your fellowman,
with profit small for you but large for
the community, you may find that opportunity
in the newspaper field?provided
you have 'the goods' in the way
of mental and moral equipment."
In newspaper work, he declares,
more real thrill is found than in any
other calling. Less monotony is to be
found in newspaper work than in any
other regular toil. The newspaperman
deals with a new set of subjects
every day.
Me says, "In some sections of the
country young men and women
specially trained for journalism are
finding places on weeklies and semiweeklies
rather than dailies. This is a
wise course especially for those who
one day hope to own their own papers.
"The essential qualifications of the
newspaperman are many. In addition
to possessing general education, he
must be able to write simple, plain
English so that the reader will be enabled
to see the thing just as he saw
it. The newspaperman must have a
nose for news?the instinct to recognize
the real story in an event or situation.
Industry is indispensable. The
newspaperman must always be on the
job. Don't be a 'booze artist,' for they
do not get far in newspaper work.
"As important as any of the qualifications
is character. It is as essential
in Journalism as in any other profession.
Newspapers can't use men of
little or no character. A newspernian
should be a man and a gentleman.
"If you go in to the newspaper work,
think of it as more than a mere bread
and butter job. Think of it as one of
the most influential and powerful professions."

System For Handling Student
Activity Fund
Trustees of the University will be
ked to approve allotment of money
Din the student activity fund to
rious campus activities Jan. 21. The

It is recommended to the board
trustees that all money disbursed
: through the University treasurer.
Accounts of the student concerns
ill be audited by the regular state
iditor along with other University

e books of the student affairs having
en audited the past by Dean George

Another matter for the board of
ustees to decide deals with salaries
id renumeration for the editors and
isiness managers. A scale of salaries
is been suggested by a special comittee
of students cooperating with

ill consider this step.
Organizations in the student activi.*s
fund are the athletic association,
e three student publications, The
amecock, The Carolinian and the

committee Thursday and Frily
last week to state their position
the matter. R. \V. Sparks of the
arnet and Black, J. C. Hiott of The
arolitiian and Lawson Scott of The
amecock spoke.
The auditors of the state of South
arolina insist that all student acuity
funds should be handled in such
lape that they could audit them, with
leeks and receipts showing to whom
id for what each item was paid,
hen they audited the books of the
niversity of South Carolina this fall,

activity committee and asked
em to devise some system for handlg
these funds that would satisfy the
