STUDENTS RUSHED I TO OPERATIONS TWO APPENDIXES REMOVED Delvin And Hite Go On Table At Baptist Hospital Saturday Lying in the Baptist hospital, T. P. Devlin, junior, and Lanis Hite, senior, students of the University of South Carolina are convalescing after operations for appendicitis. Both of the Carolina students were taken to the hospital Saturday morning, suffering with chronic attacks. < Devlin was operated on Saturday morning, but Hite did not undergo his operation until Monday morning. Both were resting very well Monday evening. "I didn't take ether," said Devlin to ; a Gamecock reporter Monday evening. "I was fully awake while they were operating on me. I could hear everything the doctor and nurses said. It was a strange experience. I even ; heard the doctor say that my ap- ( pendix was in a pretty bad fix. One ; of the nurses held my hand during the operation." i Hite could not be operated on 1 Saturday morning because of the rush ' at the hospital, and the operation was < deferred until Monday. He was able ; to take ether for the operation. Devlin could not take ether because ' of his physical condition. His side j was frozen instead, and a screen was ; placed before his face. i It is expected that both of the stu- ; dents will be brought to the University infirmary within the next few i days to convalesce.

UPSHAW SPEAKS TO UPPERCLASSES Many Visitors From City Here Address Of Famous ExCongressman "A genuine love of the genuine is essential for success," former Congressman William D. Upshaw of Atlanta, Ga., said in his address at chapel Thursday. Mr. Upshaw was introduced in a very complimentary manner by R. G. Bell, after the exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. J. H. Webb of the First Baptist church. "The world is ready, too ready sometimes," he said, to crown the winner, but not ready enough to ask about the methods that won. It is up to students to uphold standards. You are a coin being dropped 011 the counter of life. ^ If you are not genuine the world will shove you back." The speaker urged the students to realize the importance of a worthy ambition and a strong purpose. "Don't quit school until you get through. If you do you go through life cutting wood with a dull axe." However he urged them not to forget God. "The trouble with prison men," he said, 'is that although many of them are educated, they have forgotten ideals and God." Mr. Upshaw is sometimes called "the orator on crutches." He made an address at Carolina thirty years ago from a rolling chair. Mr. Bell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was among those who heard him then. Mr. Upshaw commented on the improvements that have been made at the University since that time?notably that it is no longer "a stag party." He was the only member of congress from Georgia who voted that women have as much sense as men. Besides the students and faculty many men and ladies from the city were present to hear the orator from Georgia. r, ...on 1 ... in c 7. ta 111 m M 01929, Lioojmr & Myim Tobacco Co.
