CONCESSIONS TO 1
BE CONSOLIDATED
AFTER THIS TERM,
UNIVERSITY HAS CONTROL <
Canteen Will Be Enlarged And
Improved; Post Office Moved
Beginning with the 1930-31 session, j
the Gamecock Pressing club and the A
Campus Book store, two campus con- <
cessions to students, will no longer be i
operated by students but will be taken '
over by the University and consoli- {
dated with the canteen, decided the
student activity committee at a recent ]
meeting. This committee is composed i
of Dr. Ralph K. Foster, chairman, Dr. ]
D. M. Douglas, Dean George Olson, <
and R. G. Bell. ;
Several years ago the University let |
certain students have the privilege of j
operating the book store and the ;
pressing club in order to help them (
pay their way through school. 1
If enough money can be secured, t
the committee hopes to remodel the (
canteen throughout and make it an ]
up-to-date store. During the summer j
they expect to move the post office
elsewhere and add this space to thai j
already occupied by the canteen. They (
also plan to open two doors on the |
campus entrance and to close one of ,
the side doors.
It is hoped a second floor or plat- t
form can be built in the canteen for <
the use of the book store. The room ;
in which the Campus Book store is ;
now located will be renovated and i
used as an office for student publi- ,
cations. j
"All of these contemplated improve- >
mcnts may not be carried out due to
the lack of money," said Dr. Foster, ,
one of the members of the student ,
activity committee, Saturday, "How- |
ever, the canteen will be a much neat- i
er and cleaner store next year, regard- '
less of how many improvements we j
are able to carry out."
When the canteen was placed un- ,
der the administration of Burnet
Stoney at the beginning of the 1929- ,
30 session, it was $1,300 in debt. To
buy more equipment for it, a sum of
$1,300 was borrowed from the sinking
fund of the student activity fund.

IMPROVES SCHOOL
ADDS COURSES NEXT YEAR 1
The School of Engineering has formulated
a course in engineering ad- |
ministration to be offered for the first
time at the beginning of the 1930-31
session of the University, according
to Dean Rowe. The course of study
in administrative engineering is for ;
the purpose of assisting engineering
graduates who desire to enter the ,
managerial field.
The general scheme followed in preparing
this course has been to omit
several of the engineering branches
and to substitute subjects from the
School of Commerce and the Department
of Economics. Some of the subjects
included are accounting, auditing, ;
economics, money and banking, industrial
management, corporations, and ,
public finances.
In recent years engineers have in
increasing numbers entered administrative
fields and many executive positions
are constantly being filled by
engineers. The latest statistics show
that about seventy-five per cent of the
engineers after ten years of service become
administrative or executive officers
in the firms with which they are
connected.
HOY TELLS OF
LIFEJN CHINA
Dr. W. E. Hoy, head of the biology
department of the University, gave
an interesting talk on China at a meeting
in chapel Sunday night.
Doctor Hoy's talk was based on his
experience while living in the Yangste
valley, where his father was a missionary
for many years. He pointed out
the handicaps under which China is
struggling and their attitude toward
the customs of the foreigners. He concluded
his address by pointing out
that China is not ready for democracy,
but needs a dictator to lead it out of
the bonds of ancestor worship.
After the address, the glee club from
the Colored Commuity Baptist church
rendered several selections of old time
'U'gro spirituals. '

bellow Sheet Will
Lay Bare Scandals
On Eighth Birthday
Theories on the subject claim that
ill things go through a stage of development,
evolve from something
smaller. But according to the files of
The Gamecock, the Yellow Sheet just
suddenly appeared. It was unannounced
and unheralded.
In the issue of April 1, 1020, the only
allusion to the fact that it was April
Fool's day was shown in an obscure
reference to the saying "Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread," but there
was no real commorton the day itself.
There is no reference to April or
fools in either the editions of March
111 or April 8 in 1921, but in 1022 the
Yellow Sheet made its debut. Preceding
and following issues of the
same year give no explanation of it.
Kinda like Topsy, it "just growed up."
This first Yellow Sheet was very
nearly like the Yellow Sheets of more
recent years, though it appears to have
"more truth than poetry" in it. In
fact, the first appeal to the student
body at large for contributions made
in 1024 mentions the publishing of incidents
and happenings which would
produce fun and says nothing about
the untruthfulness of it.
In the issues of the Yellow Sheet,
the faculty has ben accused of everything
from drunkeness to being
thrown out to let the students take

Norris Wins Keitt
Oratorical Medal;
Weldon Is Second
By winning over three other contestants,
K. B. Norris, a member of
the senior class from Calhoun Kails,
was awarded the Keitt medal for oratory
last Thursday night. The contest
was held in the Euphradian literary
society hall.
Norris used as his subject "The
Seventh of March Speech," in which
he eulogized Daniel Webster and also
told of the causes of his losing the
nomination for the presidency. Norris
holds quite an enviable record at
Carolina not only in scholarship, but
also in extra-curricular activities. "Heis
president of the Blue Key fraternity,
former president of the Clariosophic
literary society, and a member
of Eta Sigma Phi classical fraternity.
1 he Keitt medal is awarded annually

YELLOW SHEET NEXT
There will be no further issues
of The Gamecock before April 1,
when the Yellow Sheet makes its
appearance, Ashley Halsey, editor,
announced last night.
One week, that of March 22-2t>,
will be skipped. This is being done
to avoid a printing bill in excess of
the paper's income. The coming
week was selected for a seven day
vacation in order that the staff
might have more time to work on
the Yellow Sheet.
The Yellow Sheet will appear
promptly at 12 o'clock midnight on
April 1, and will be heralded by
ringing the chapel bell. The city
fire department has been asked to
cooperate in its distribution, while
police officers protect the editorial
rooms.
HONOR GROUP TO
CONSIDER MEANS
OF ENFORCEMENT
IN MEETING THURSDAY
Sub-Committee Will Present Plan
To Revive Honor Spirit.
Wants Student Opinion
1"urther action will he taken, and a
definite plan for the reinstation of the
honor system considered at the second
meeting of the faculty honor committee
with a group of representative
students in the I niversity library
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A
sub-committee of students is drawing
up a plan under which the honor system
can be operated. Eleven students
interviewed at random have declared
for the honor system, ten of them favoring
an honor committee.
" 1 be faculty will do everything in
its power to cooperate with students
of the University in reinforcing the
honor system, but the honor system
can live only by the will of the students
and must be reinstated by them,"
declares Dr. F. \Y. Hradlev, chairman
of the faculty honor committee.
Other members of the faculty coincide
with this view.
Present status of the honor system
is that the honor principle is still supposed
to be in force, but the honor
committee elected by the students has
been disbanded at their own request.
Enforcement is left to the faculty and
the faculty discipline committee is the
highest court of appeal at this time.
Students present at the first meeting
were R. B. Hildebrand, E. B Norris,
Y. S. Williams, Frank Buic, Ashley
Halscy, Fov Stevenson, Anne L. New,
Mayre Wall and Bert Karick. The
faculty was represented by Dr. F. W.
Bradley, Dr. losiah Morse, Prof. T. F.
Ba!lt> Prof. J. B. Coleman, and Dr. R.
K. Foster.
On the sub-committee have been appointed
Frank Buie, chairman, and
Ashley Halsey, both to represent the
student body; R. B. Hildebrand, O. D.
K. delegate; A. C. Clement, of Blue
Key, and Harriot Whitaker, representative
of Alpha Kappa Gamma
honorary sorority.
CHEERLEADER TO
PRESENT AWARDS
EMBLEMS ARE ON DISPLAY
Samples of the Cheerio emblems
have arrived and are now on display
in the canteen, says Nigel A. League,
head cheerleader.
The emblem is a semi-circular piece
of felt about six inches wide, with the
letters "I*. S. C. Cheerio" on it. There
are two kinds of emblems, one with
red background and black letters, the
other with black background and red
letters.
Due to the fact that there are no
funds in the Cheerio treasury, students
desiring the emblems will have to purchase
them. 1 he cost of each emblem
is fifty cents.
League said Saturday that all those
wishing to purchase an emblem will
have to turn the exact cost to him by
Wednesday night. League hopes to
have the emblems ready for distribution
bv the first of next week.
"All men students at Carolina can
purchase an emblem," said League.
"We are being lenient in making
awards this year so that we may get
the cheerio section started on a firm
foundation. No girl will be allowed
to wear these emblems."
MAGAZINES ARE
SENT TO CHILE
I'our issues of The Carolinian niagazine

largest nitrate deposits.
Ben 1). Lucas, student in the law
school, recently received a letter from
Hugh McCutchen asking for some
