WORK ON STADIUM
TO BEGIN SOON
MAXOY GREGG PARK SITE
Title Being Cleared To 22 Acres
Of Land; To Be Financed
By Alumni
Clearance of the title to 22 acres of
land in Maxcy Gregg park will soon
give the University a site for its proposed
stadium. The city of Columbia
intends to give the University this
tract for a stadium to be financed by
the alumni, and the title now being
arranged is all that is necessary for
actual work to begin.
In reply to the resolutions taken by
the alumni stadium committee in their
meeting on December 30, in which
they urged the city to furnish a plot
of ground sufficient for the building
of the athletic bowl, the city council
met last week and agreed to give 22
acres of land in Maxcy Gregg park
to the cause.
Since this action was taken by the
city council it has been found that fee
simple titles for the land were not
positively certain. It remains for
these uncertainties to be cleared before
the alumni can go on with the
construction plans.
A committee has been appointed by
George Bell Timmcrman, president of
the alumni association, consisting of
three Columbia attorneys, John J.
Earle, R. Beverley Herbert, and
W. M. Shand, to advise with City
Attorney E. W. Mullins in regard to
the titles. The committee and the city
attorney will meet early this week and
make a report of their investigation
on the matter.
In a letter to Mayor L. B. Owens
of Columbia last Friday, Mr. Timmerman
said that nothing was holding
up the work except the titles to the
park area. He also said that he did
not wish to proceed with the plans
to construct a stadium in Maxcy
Gregg park until he was sure that the
titles to the land could be cleared.
Mayor Owens expressed himself on
this point as being confident of clearing
the titles.
The stadium committee of the alumni
association will meet sometime this
week to consider the proposal of the
city, according to an announcement
by Barney A. Early, executive secretary
of the alumni association. This
committee is composed of George Bell
Timmerman, chairman, Batcsburg;
Edwin G. Seibels, Columbia; John
Roddey, Columbia; Dr. G. F. McKissick,
Greenville; Edwin R. Lucas,
Chester; and J. Ross Hanahan, Charleston.
The resolutions adopted by this
committee at their first meeting December
30 provided for approval of
the erection of a 20,000 seating capacity
stadium for the University provided
Columbia should donate the land
to accommodate the building of this
stadium and that the alumni will attend
to the financial side of the construction.

CITADEL HOST
TO CONFERENCE
ALUMNI OF MANY COLLEGES
Secretaries Of Different Colleges
Meet; Early Goes From
Carolina
The Citadel will be hosts to the
Regional conference of the American
Alumni council on January 17 and 18
and alumni secretaries of Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and
Alabama will gather in Charleston and
thrash out the methods of making
alumni associations more effective.
Harney A. Early, secretary of the
South Carolina alumni association, is
planning to attend the conference and
according to his work, the University
of South Carolina will try to have the
next year's meeting of the council
held in Columbia. Mr. Early will
speak.
Headquarters of the conference will
be at the Francis Marion hotel and
registration will take place there at
2 o'clock Friday afternoon, January
17. A boat ride through the courtesy
of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce
will feature the afternoon's entertainment.
An informal banquet at the Citadel
n c wh?l(!. Friday night with Capt.
u. b. McAllister presiding. John McKee,
president of the American
Alumni council will address the banqueters
on "Tendencies in Alumni
Work.
The Saturday sessions of the conference
will be held in the Francis
Marion hotel. Important discussions
and speeches will spice the program
throughout the day and every phase
and angle of alumni work and interest
will be touched upon.
South Carolina's secretary, Mr.
W>11 speak Saturday morning on
To What Extent Should Alumni Interest
Themselves in Politics?"
There will be a display of alumni
magazines, campaign material, and
other printed matter during the conference.
1 he purpose of this conference is
designed to provide an interchange of
ideas on common problems affecting
organized alumni effort in the South,
to stimulate the individual alumni association
and to bring to the inexperienced
worker the best prevailing
methods employed to align alumni
back of extremely important educational
work of the country.

Alumni Trail |
A conference of Region III of the
American Alumni Council including
the secretaries of all the universities
and colleges in the the states of Florida,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Virginia will be
held in Charleston on the 17th and
18th of this month and the Citadel
will provide the entertainment and
act as host to this important meet.
We congratulate the Citadel and
her alumni association for their success
in bringing this meeting to Charleston
and for the highly interesting
program that they have mapped out
for the conference.
Barney Early of the Carolina association
is planning to attend and he is
going with the expectation of bringing
the conference to Columbia next year.
It will be a triumphant feather in his
cap if he does succeed in selling the
idea of a meeting in Columbia to the
Regional council, and we wish him the
best of luck.
Meeting Here
Carolina would derive quite a bit of
publicity and recognition among the
realm of alumni associations if the
conference is brought here and undoubtedly
Columbia would profit from
such an assemblage held in this city.
We would like to see the city officials
cooperate with Mr. Early and really
go down to the City by the Sea with
the intention of signing up an alumni
conference for the Capitol City next
year.
Columbia could certainly provide as
much entertainment and natural advantages
as Charleston did this year
and if the South Carolina alumni cannot
get the meeting here we would
like to know the reason why.
City Donates Land
Our favorite topic "A Stadium for
South Carolina" is by no means exhausted
this week because it was not
mentioned first. In fact, the city of
Columbia has provided twenty-two
acres of land in Maxcy Gregg park
that is just gaping for a stadium, and
moreover, the only obstacle that
stands in the way of actual building
plans is the lack of clear titles to the
land.
However, we are told that this matte1"
can be cleared up and a committee
of Columbia attorneys are already on

IJr. D. M. Douglas addressed the

He impressed the new members
with the fact that leadership bears responsibility
primarily, and then honorary
standing.
Dr. G. A. Wauchope spoke upon the
principles of leadership and their emhodyment
in the creed of O. D. K. Of
especial interest was the talk made by
Dr. Josiah Morse. Dr. Morse spoke
on faith as the essential tenet of those

"They must have faith in their purpose

were rumored to be connecting the
University and Columbia high school
in the joint use of the proposed
stadium have been severed, and if the
bowl is erected it will strictly be a
University affair.
Interest Needed
Meeting of the county alumni clubs
will begin soon and consequently the
leaders in the association can expect
more interest in the work. There is
nothing like bringing the men together
very often to keep the enthusiasm
hot among the old graduates.
South Carolina's association of
alumni has been suffering from lack of
membership, but that seems to be only
a matter of its youthfulness rather
than its efficiency. It has been growmg
steadily and before the year is out,
Barney Early has predicted, there will
be more than double of the present
membership.

Well, well, and well! Three of 'em,
an toast. Now take a deep breath or
two, and I 11 tell you all about it. |
The weather was calm, the sky was
blue, the sea was green according to
the best traditions, and most of the
passengers noses were a purplish red.
I he captain was in the navigation
room reading the Whiz-Bang, the officers
were playing drop-handkerchief, i
and the sailors were playing hopscotch. '
But 1, being intellectually inclined and
contemplative by nature, and not
being able to find anyone who could
play chess, had tied a lifeboat to the
stern of the good ship, and was seated
therein fishing for sea lions.
I was beginning to doze, when suddenly
I got a strike. The sea lion
pulled and pulled, and the ship slowed
clown to about two miles an hour, but
1 held on tenaciously, and he couldn't
escape. In a few minutes he stuck
his head out of the water, thumbed
his nose at me, and plunged again into
the deep. He stopped pulling for a
minute, and the ship picked up speed.
I hen there was a sudden swift jerk,
the nose of the ship stuck out of the
water, the rope by which the lifeboat
was tied snapped like a spiderweb,
the ship resumed its original position
in the water with a splash, and I was
left alone on the open sea in a small
boat.
I he captain was awakened by the
shock, and ran to the stern to see if
I was safe. When he saw how lonely
I was, he immediately issued orders
jo stop the ship, but the rudder was
broken and the gears were stripped,
so they could neither stop her nor
turn her around. Seeing which, all
the passengers rushed to the stern to
wish me bon voyage, but that lifted
the bow out of the water again, and
he captain ordered them back, cursing
hke a sailor.
The sea lion came up and gave me
a dirty look, but I hit him on the nose
with an oar.
The day wore on, and the shades
of night were falling fast, when the
firemen hove into view. I drew up
alongside and yelled, "ship ahoy!"
Ahoy yourself," bawled the captain.
I amt got time for no foolishness.
Owan home!"
SUl' 1 ,UI> for r'ghts and
told him I d call the police if he didn't
rescue me. So he grumbled and
swore, and ordered a lifeboat after me.
Imagine my surprise when I got on
board, to find that the captain was an
old schoolmate of mine. He wept on
my shoulder with joy, fading my blue
coat, and announced to all the passengers
that a dinner party would be
given in my absence. So that night
we had a big feed, and got gloriously
pickle-d. The labels said Scotland, but
I can t believe the Scotch arc that depraved.
