BIBLE GROUPS TO GET UNDER WAY TO MEET TUESDAY NIGHT Topic for discussion in a six week series of classes being promote*! by the University Y. M. C. A. will be the work of Plummcr Mills and Fletcher Brocknian, outstanding missionaries in foreign fields. Mr. Mills is a graduate of the University and a former secretary of the Y. M. C. A. here. Tuesday night is the date set for the organization of the study groups and it is hoped that classes may be organized in every other tenement or in groups of three tenements. As nearly as possible, there will be a study group in every house, led by the supervisor or some outstanding member of the respective chapters. Plummer Mills was a former "Y" secretary about 1914. He is now at Hankow, China, serving as secretary for all student work in China. When communists captured Hankow, he spent the night in a chickencoup to avoid having his head cut olT. Mr. Brocknian held a general secretaryship in foreign Y. M. C. A. work and lived for many years at a time in the heart of foreign nations. His chief field of service lay in the central part of China. On his return to the United States last fall the national Y. M. C. A. gave a banquet in Chicago, in his honor. At this celebration natives from the Orient gave testimony of the work accomplished by the missionary. IT.N.C.

MENINGITIS NOW OVER AT CLEMSON ONE CADET LOSES LIFE Basketball Team Ordered To Remain Inactive One Week More For Safety No further cases of meningitis have developed at Ctcmson college, states Dr. L,ee W. Milford, college physician. The epidemic which resulted in the death of Sanford Graham, 17, of Loris is at an end. Graham died very suddenly after being taken to the college hospital. Several other cases were reported, and the school was placed under quarantine as a precautionary measure. After a conference with the State board of health on Monday, it was decided that the quarantine may be lifted soon. The basketball team, which was prevented last week from making a trip scheduled to include games with Carolina, Newberry, and Citadel, was to be allowed to play the games on this week's card, but an order late today contermanded this and the team will have at least one more week of enforced idleness. CAROLINA DEFEATS OHIO DEBATERS LEWIS AND LEAGUE SPEAK University Team Continues Winning Streak By Conquering Northern College Team The University of South Carolina, ' represented by J. Woodrow Lewis of Darlington, and Nigel League of Greenville, continued its winning streak in debating by defeating Ohio ' Wcsleyan University, represented by 1 Donald Shcrbondy and Joseph Rinnert, by a close audience decision in a debate held in chapel Saturday night. i South Carolina upheld the affirmative of the query, Resolved: "that the ; policy of providing a liberal arts college education for all high school graduates who desire it is unsound." ' This debate was the only intcrscc- ' tional one scheduled for the year and ; is the first time in recent years that the decision has been rendered by the ( audience. The South Carolina speakers showed . that the growth of the colleges was | an abnormal one, was caused by improper factors, and was in influence tending to lower the educational standards of the country. The negative, on the other hand, : claimed that the new conditions and complexities of life demanded an educated citizenry and that the proper 1 use of the liberal arts colleges was as 1 a supplement to modern high schools. The visitors were particularly effec- ' live in their rebuttals, while the home : team had the better of the argument '< in the constructive speeches. Both of the University debaters arc 1 prominent in local debating circles. Woodrow Lewis, although being ; somewhat new to the team, is so far ; undefeated in collegiate debating, while Nigel League, in making the team : three years ago, was one of the few freshmen to ever represent the Uni- < versity in this field. Calhoun Clement, of the Clario- j sophic society was the presiding of- ; ficer for the debate, while LeRoy M. ] Want, of the Euphradian society served as chief marshal. IT.B.C. ] FOSTER STATES BOARD POLICIES ESTABLISHED STANDS To clarify any wrong impressions that recent events may have made up- I on individuals of the student body, Dr. R. K. Foster, chairman of the student activities committee, had addressed the following note to the student body through the medium of The Gamecock. The note was written after the editor offered the use of these columns to set aright rumors rising from controversies. "The statement made in the first paragraph has been passed in the form of a resolution by the student activities committee to prevent impeding the work of any activity," Doctor Foster said. The note follows: "The present director of student activities hopes and expects to sec every student organization strengthened and stabilized. The policy of this office has been and will be to see that none of the present existing student activities shall be hampered or harmed for lack of funds. "We expect onr student managers to learn and to practice business methods so that their campus labors may be of value to us and their business experience worth-while to themselves. "Kvcry student organization should have its own constitution and by-laws and have its chief officers nominated from its staff of assistants, upon merit of previous service. "Kvcry student organization should have one or more specified faculty members with whom they can advise and plan. "There is a world of work that can be done for the benefit of Carolina and our aspirations are that this office may be able to render such valuable service that every student and alumnus may be stimulated to do more for our school." The note is signed by Doctor Foster as chairman, and the three members of the student activities committee. u.s. c. BROWN HEADS RELIGIOUS FRAT Other Officers For Term Are Weldon, Younginer, Brown, And Delvin J. J. Brown, Jr., of Rock Hill, a junior at the University, took the oath of office as president of Delta Chi Alpha, professional Christian service fraternity, at the installation services held in Flinn Hall Thursday evening at 7 o'clock, succeeding T. P. Devlin of Graniteville who has served as president of the fraternity for the past two terms. Mr. Brown in his inaugural address pledged himself to do all that he could for the JUDGE NABS TWO GATE CRASHERS PAIR MISS BOXING MATCH When two young men not attending the University attempted to crash the Kate into the Carolina-Florida boxing match Saturday night, "Judge" Smith, campus guardian, turned them back. A scuffle ensued, in which the gate keeper aided "Judge" in suppressing the persistent pair. As throwing a small stick and firing a warning shot from his revolver failed, "Judge" had one of the couple arrested. The other escaped. The two ambitious fight fans tried to rush past the gate keeper, a University student. He stopped them, and an altercation followed. "Judge" Smith collared both men and hurried them to the door, where one slipped off. He returned and made another effort to get inside. The result was a battle royal, with 'Judge" and the gate keeper pitted against the two intruders. The smaller of the two fell into the campus watchman's clutches and there remained. The larger, who had worn glasses, protested that he had lost them, and essayed another entry declaring that he wished to find the glasses. "Judge" thereupon turned his captive loose and ordered both away. A bystander cautioned them to go, but they did not. Numbers of people gathered about the door to speculate on the outcome. When aware of another attack on the entrance, "Judge" Smith threw a small stick at the larger of the two, and struck him on the back. He then fired his revolver into the ground to complete the scare. Roth men retreated hastily. The smaller ran down Green street. The larger was more unfortunate. Police summoned when the affair assumed serious proportions arrested him. The arrested man, whose name is entered 011 the police blotter as W. P. Hiller posted $10 bond for appearance in police court Monday morning to answer charges of drunken and disorderly conduct. He forfeited it. growth of the frat. He stated that he wanted the frat to be recognized 011 1 the campus and elsewhere as rendering definite Christian service. Wilson O. Weldon is vice president of the fraternity, and John Madison Vounginer, secretary. S. E. Brown is treasurer, and T. P. Delvin, retiring president, is historian.

H The Pair jW Junior Size The Political Pot "Always Bubbling Over" - ~ ' > ~) Examinations are over and once more campus politicians can begin to breath with ease. That lordly air that accompanies these men and women, who can give advice on any subject ranging from Dr. Douglas' policies to the prices of stock on the New York Stock Exchange, is being resumed as rapidly as possible. The beautiful weather which followed the recent freeze has also done its part in awakening again that old political spirit which has been temporarily dormant due to exams and the cold weather. Perhaps the presence of William Romulus Reese, that guiding genius of campus politics of other days, on the campus last week also stimulated the awakening of the politicians. The meeting of the student body that led to the passing of certain resolutions to go before the board of trustees was called by Robert Sparks, business manager of the Garnet and Black. Sparks contended in the meeting that financial conditions of student activities were in a bad way at the University due to the inefficiency of Dr. Ralph K. Foster, director of student activities. Mr. Sparks gave incident after incident in support of his argu-1 ment. Lawrence Case, Julian Beall, John Bolt Culbertson, and Robert H. Atkinson spoke in favor of Dr. Foster, saying that they thought he was filling his job capably. These men in most cases thought that the policies of Dr. Foster and his committee were somewhat off the right track, but were heartily in favor of the director of student activities. Blood Hildebrand then made a motion to the effect that a student committee be appointed to go before the board of trustees to lay their grievances before the board. Punk Atkinson seconded the motion and it was carried. The committee appointed consisted of Ashley Halsey, Joe Hiott. Lawson Scott, Robert Sparks, Blood Hildebrand, and Julian Beall. This coniniittcc appeared before the trustees last Thursday afternoon.

Charles Craig is running on the Thornwell Independent ticket for the presidency of the student body. This blond blizzard from the mountains of Pickens has a large following in the School of Engitieciing and in Thornwell college. Craig is a quiet unassuming fellow but is very well liked by his many friends. He stands a great chance of being the man to wield the gavel in the student body meetings next year. It is understood that Nigel League of cheering fame is also out for this olTice. League is as well known in the student body as anyone and if all of his friends vote for him lie will win the election in a walkaway. Robert Gressette and Yates Wlliams have long ago announced their candidacy for this office. Their relative merits have been discussed in this column before. Both arc good men for this office atid should give someone a hot time for election to the presidency of the student body. John Bolt Culbertson has definitely announced that he will not be a candidate for this office. Mr. Culbertson has announced that lie will be a candidate for the junior presidency of the Clariosophic society instead. Then there is always the chance of some dark horse announcing himself for the coveted presidency. Maybe some enterprising co-ed will anounce herself as a candidate for it. Who can tell? Women are indeed the uncertain element in politics. The Political Pot urges that all political parties on the campus get busy now and organize their parties. In so doing the best men available can be run for these places which will be a source of pleasure and contentment to all parties concerned. It will also go a long way in advancing open politics 011 the campus, a thing very much desired by all intelligent persons 011 the campus. It is also urged that candidates please turn in their names to the editor of the Political Pot. This can be done by addressing all communications to the editor of The Political Pot in care of The Gamecock. All such communications will be considered strictly private by the editor of the Pot. Next week the Political Pot will carry a story 011 the Carolinian constitution and the probable outcome of the election of a new editor for that publication. lie Hand ' streamlined Duofold Pens (and i)look neater and set /owerin the ers because the clip starts at the ^ay down the cap. erfectly poised shape feels "at land ? the hand-ground, heavy s with our famous 47th improveeless Touch. ns for the Price of One i convertible feature makes all ually like 2 Pens in One.
