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 chickcncoup to avoid having his head cut off. Mr. Brockman 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.

CAROLINA DEFEATS OHIO DEBATERS LEWIS AND LEAGUE SPEAK / University Team Oontinues 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 Wesleyan University, represented by Donald Sherbondy and Joseph Rinnert, by a close audience decision in a debate held in chapel Saturday night. 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 intersectional 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 use of the liberal arts colleges was as a supplement to modern high schools. The visitors were particularly effective in their rebuttals, while the home team had the better of the argument in the constructive speeches. Both of the University debaters are 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 University in this field. Calhoun Clement, of the Clariosophic society was the presiding officer for the debate, while LeRoy M. Want, of the Euphradian society served as chief marshal. IT. s.c. FOSTER STATES BOARD POLICIES | ESTABLISHED STANDS To clarify any wrong impressions that recent events may have made upon individuals of the student body, Dr. R. K. Poster, 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 lias 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 our 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. "Every 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. "Every 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. BROWN HEADS RELIGIOUS FRAT Other Officers For Term Are Weldon, Younginer, Brown, And Delvin J. J.

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 I JUDGE NABS TWO GATE CRASHERS PAIR MISS BOXING MATCH When two young men not attending the University attempted to crash the gate 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. Both 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 on 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 on the campus and elsewhere as rendering definite Christian service. Wilson O. Weldon is vice president of the fraternity, and John Madison Younginer, secretary. S. E. Brown is treasurer, and T. P. Delvin, retiring president, is historian. ' Parker's New Str?

Foster, director of student c activities. Mr. Sparks gave incident after incident in support of his argument. Lawrence Case, Julian Beall, John } Bolt Culbertson, and Robert H. At- j kinson spoke in favor of Dr. Foster, j saying that they thought he was fill- a ing his job capably. These men in 't 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.
