C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1930 ^ Founded 1908 c ANOTHER CLUB PUTS CHAPTER AT UNIVERSITY i "The University of South Carolina has secured a branch of the American Institute of Engineers," states Professor Thomas F. Ball, faculty advisor of the Electrical Engineering Seminar, an open letter to all students in the department of Electrical Engineering. The text of the letter is as follows: "The University of South Carolina is extremely fortunate in having secured a branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers^ view of the fact that permission to establish these branches is only given to the leading engineering schools of the country. The University of South Carolina Branch of the A. I. E. E. was fortunate enough to win out last November in an open competition with sixteen of the leading engineering schools of the South. This competitive meeting was held at the University of Va. Mr. G. H. Preacher, a senior in the Department of Electrical Engineering, here at the University of South Carolina, won first place. His paper was entitled: 'The Saluda River Project.' "The University of South Carolina Branch of the A. I. E. E. is conducting the Electrical-Engineering Seminars this session with the idea of sizing up the most outstanding students in the Department of Electrical Engineering. These meetings are held at 5:00 p. m. each Monday afternoon in the Physics lecture room, Sloan College.

Foster, director of student activities at the University. Students are advised not to attempt to speculate on tickets for this game, avers Dr. Foster. "Last year six secret service men were on the lookout for scalpers and six students were arrested. Only for the timely intervention of myself and Mr. W. D. Barnett, chairman of ?the Clemson ticket sales committee, these students would have been placed in the city jail. This year we will have twelve secret service men on the watch and scalpers had better look out, for no mercy will be shown." SEVERAL ATTEND Y CAMP RETREAT represent many clubs Subjects of Interest Discussed By Excellent Speakers; Hikes Also Enjoyed A brave and heroic group of five dared the fastnesses of the Blue Ridge mountains to attend the^annual Y.

Brown/ president of the Carolina Christian Service Club; Vernon Spears, president of the Freshmen Y Council; Gladys Hamilton, president of the Y. W. C. A.; and Augusta Willis, Blue Ridge representative for the Y. W. C. A. The program at the camp was filled with talks and discussions led by"Miss Meares, Mr. Nelson, and Dr. Frank Poole of Furman University. Several vital subjects were discussed with open frankness. The main discussions centered around "Sex," "Our relation to our fellow man," and "What God expects of us." Unusual interest was shown by e\~ry member present and the talks were entered into by all the delegates. There was that honest sincerity and companionship prevailing that close Contact with nature brings. N Several trips were made at night up the side of the mountain to the council where the Winthrop and Clemson College delegations put on a program, At sunrise Several members hiked to the nearby mountain top to get a view of the sunrise, but the rest of the party stayed behind, shivering in their blankets j 9 ~ \ mam c s : MP^IM H lyiiiii c ' 1!

There are five colleges in the tate supported by state appropriations, ncluding the Medical College. C^lcmson College students receive he largest amount per student from he state funds, each student receiving $ >324.00. Citadel comes next, with each t tudent receiving an apportionment of i, 302.00. University students receive t\ >256.00, while Winthrop students re- a eive only $244.00. A significant fact c J that the State University and Winhrop, the state woman's college, both ti taving the largest enrollments of the c tate colleges, receive the lowest v mounts for their students. 1 Following is a schedule of the ap- c >ropriations made for each college for a he year 1930, along with the enroll- c nent of each during the scholastic year t >f 1929-1930: s UNIVERSITY: t Enrollment?1,710.

ENROLLMENT SHOW LARi Complete figures on the enrollment at t the University show that 1,666 students f \rc officially registered. This number is ( inly 44 less than those enrolled during t be whole of last year. Officials of the 1 University say that they expect the total 1 gear's enrollment to exceed 1,800. 1 Of the number of students, Richland 2 :ounty has a larger number enrolled than 1 my other county in the state. Official fig- 1 ures released by the registrar show that there are 581 students from this county, j tyexington comes second with 72; Flor- < ;nce third with 56; and Orangeburg is i fourth with 54. Students from other j states number 132. , The number sent by other counties is t js follows: Abbeville,' 10; Aiken, 32; i Allendale, 7; Anderson, 30; Bamberg^ i 14; fcarnwell, 14; Beaufort, 15; Berke- < ley, 7; Calhoun, 15; Charleston, 38^ < Cherokee, 8; Chester, 14; Chesterfield, < 18; Clarendon, 14; Colleton, 23; Darling- < ation for and Winthrop Average per student?$302.00. WINTHROP: Enrollment?1,800. Appropriation?$439,966.42. Average per student?$244.00. CLEMSON: Enrollment?1,238. Appropriation?$401,371.80. Average per student?$324.00. The Clemson appropriation includes 193,000 received from the state ferilizer tax. The above figures are of nterost to University students, since he state legislature argued quite a bit bout the appropriations for the state olleges at its last session. Further figures released from the reasurer's. office show that the amount J ollected from students of the Uniersity as registration fees for the year 929-1930 totaled $95,987.75. Taking the .= inrollment of 1,710, this makes an 1 vcrage contribution of $56.00 per stu- 1 lent in comparison with the state's conribution of $244.00, shownig that each tudent pays less than one-fourth of he actual cost of his education. ^ The amount appropriated by the legislature for the University has ma-y I eria'.ly decreased during the last five rears. The University's appropriation ormerly was much greater than the ibovc amount given it for this year. - ( STATE COLLEGES : STUDY COUNTIES ' JOVERNMENT IS SUBJECT J Jniversities of South And North J Carolina Co-operating In Work; ( Derrick In Charge a The University of South Carolina, in o-operation with the University of a ^orth Carolina, has begun a study of ounty - government in South Carolina. 0 Columbus Andrews, one of the foremost 11 rained research specialists of the country, * tas been in the field for the two unircrsities since June. c Mr. Andrews has already made deailed studies in Darlington, Fairfield and c Williamsburg counties. Two more coun- s ies, yet to be selected, will be studied 0 n the very near future. When the studies are completed, Mr. \ndrews will write up his findings in ^ l volume probably to be entitled "County 11 Government in South Carolina." Special J eports on each county, however, will be yped, bound, and placed in the local ^ ibrary so that students may refer to e hem at will. Professor Sam Derrick of the Eco- * lomics Department, with a representative w rom the North Carolina school, is in ( :harge of the work. * TEAM OF '09 Ic The Gamecocks of 1909, Caro- ^ C lina's first football team since 1899, are pictured on page six.
