they apply for leave of absence it will
probably be granted.

say. 1
DEBATING COUNCIL
MAKING SCHEDULE !
The tentative schedule which has been
made up by the University Debating ,
Council includes many widely scattered ,
colleges. The season this year should be (
even more interesting than usual, according
to the report of the secretary,
Troy Stokes. , -t
One debate of especial interest is that
with the University of Porto Ricd. They
offered to debate the local team in either
Spanish or ^English, and after much consideration,
English was chosen.
The queries which will be debated during
the season are: "Resolved That the
Nations Should Adopt a Policy of Free '
Trade," and "Resolved that England
Should Grant a Dominion to India."
Some of the outstanding schools on
the schedule are: Duke, North Carolina,
Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Ohio Wesleyan, and Porto Rico. *
Tryouts for the team will be held 1
shortly after Christmas. The exact date <
will appear in a later issue of Tuft 1

Will Be Here For Religious
Week
Dr. W. D. Weatherford, who is a
prominent figure in the program work of
the Y. M. C. A. in the South, is to be

week, special emphasis is to be laid on
the religious life of the students.
When Dr. Weatherford was appointed
secretary of the student Y. M. C. A. in I
the South, there were only two employed
student secretaries and only 25 or 30
student associations in the South. By
1919,-when he resigned, there were 25
iinployed secretaries and 65 associations.
The j-esult of his work is seen in this
growth.
He was diractly responsible for the
acquisition and development of f Blue
Ridge as a student Y. M. C. A. camp. L
He superintended this entire venture and
made Blue Ridge into the most beautiful
:amp of its kind in the United States.
Dr. Weatherford is also an important !
figure in social work. He was the first
to investigate negro life in the South.
He has written volumes dealing with
this subject, the most important of which
is, "Negro Life in the South."
By his efforts money was raised to
mild and equip the Southern Y. M. C.
A. Graduate School, of which he is pres- i
ident. He is known around the world j
as one of the outstanding personalities
in Y. M. C. A. work.

N. Y. Speaks
More than two hundred high school t
superintendents, principals, and other di- v
rectors of education from the state at b
large are attending the annual meeting a
of the Department of Superintendence b
now being held in Columbia. The con- b
vention began Friday, November 14, and (
will continue through Saturday, Novem- h
ber 15. r
This meeting is held separately from
the regular meeting of the teachers so t
that there will be more time for ,itten- \
tion to the special problems of their 1
field. 1
The special theme of the meeting this a
year is "Distribution* of State Aid." Dr. t
Paul R. Mort, of Columbia University, s
New York City, is the prominent speaker f
of the occasion. Dr. Mort is recognized e
throughout the United States and the
world as the leading authority on the t
subject of state distribution of support, r
A report will also be given by the r
commission which has been appointed to '
investigate the subject in relation to the (
particular phases of the problem in 1
South Carolina.
The delegates were guests of the Co- *
lumbia city schools Friday morning, vis- c
iting the various institutions in which c
they were interested. The afternoon was ^
devoted to business, and Friday night
they were entertained by the University *
Glee Club. Dr. Mort also gave another f
address.
Saturday morning will be devoted to *
business meetings at Wardlaw Junior A
High School, featured by the election '
of officers for the coming year. Foot- P
ball tickets for the Carolina-Sewanee ?
game to be played at 2:30, at Melton
Field, will be sold at half price to mem- \
hers, if they are purchased beforb 12 1
o'clock Saturday.
NEW YORK RABBI .
SPEAKS IN CHAPEL1
SUBJECT: SCIENCE
VS. RELIGION r
Counsels Students Against Be- j
coming Perplexed By Incompatabilities
of Torah
Although scheduled to talk on "Why I
I am a Jew" Rabbi Nathan Krass, of ^
the Fman-u-El Temple of New York ^
City, addressed a small but enthusiastic a
group on the pregnant topic "Can ^
Science Take the Place of Religion?" in (|
the University Chapel Wednesday night.
"Practical science deals with all those ^
things which have to do with the com- a
fort, health, and happiness of mankind,
and it is this branch which is slowly sap- v
ping religion of some of its prerogatives, j
With the sole exception of Clrrifctian
Science, religion is no longer used in the t
healing of physical ailments. ,
"Antitoxin is rapidly taking the place s
of religious incantations in effecting j.
cures, and some say that Science will a
ultimately take everything from and j
change the churches and synagogues into
laboratories and hospitals. s
"Religion in its deepest universal sense t
is man's greatest adventure in quest of c
the highest spiritual values, which are s
symbolized and realized in a God."
Thus Science may check for a while, c
but can never stop man from going on s
in his divine search. Man will always r
seek the highest and best, and will never \
be satisfied with less because he will \
always be pricked by spiritual prompt- p
ing?. 1
The speaker then proceeded to give his ]
idea of Christianity as a Jew unprej- j
udiced and unblinded in his conception.
He declared that the essence of Chris- f
tianity is the personality of Jesus. "Take ^
that away and religion is robbed of all t
its potency and power of leadership."
Corresponding to the personality of '
Jesus, the Jew has the Torah, the soul >
and body of the principles which have <

VIANY ALUMNI EXPECTED
^arolina-Sewanee Football Game
To Be Highlight Of Varied
Varied Program
Alumni Day, which is expected to be
he greatest in the history of the school,
vill be celebrated on Saturday, November
15, at the University. Alumni from
.11 over South Carolina and many nearly
states will converge on Columbia to
iclp make this affair worth while. The
-ity of Columbia through Mayor Owens
las issued a formal invitation to all the
eturning grads.
The highlight of the program will be
lie Carolina-Sewanee football game
vhich begins at 3.30 on Melton Field.
The program for the alumni begins at
2 o clock with an informal luncheon
it Steward's Hall. George Bell Timmernan
of Batesburg, president of the as- ,
ociation, has no definite program
>lantied but will call on the men presnt
to speak.
The proposed stadium is expected to
>e the main topic of discussion at this
neeting. The preliminary committee will
nake its report at that time. This comnittee
consist of A. F. McKissick of
jreenville, Edwin H. Lucas of Chester,
idwin G. Seibels of Columbia and New
fork, John Roddey of Columbia, J. Ross V
ianahan of Charleston, and Leroy Lee
>f Kingstree. This matter has been under
onsideration for about a year and it is
loped that a foundation has been laid.
An active committee will be chosen
it the meeting to plan a definite program
which it is hoped will result in the
instruction of a modern stadium. Alhough
the athletic program of the University
is seriously hampered by the
ack of adequate seating space it will
robably be some time before any definite
innouncement can be made.
Alumni Day was initiated at Carolina
n 1927. On each succeeding year since
t has been held with interest increasing
;vcry year. This year is expected to
clipse all preceding ones and set a goal
or succeeding ones to shoot at.

TOPIC AMERICAN HUMOR
interesting Discourse on National
Characteristic Delivered By
English Professor
The weekly radio hour devoted to
he transmission of talent at the Universty
of South Carolina was featured with
delightful talk on American Humor,
>y Dr. Havilah Babcock of the English
lepartment.
Beginning his discourse by proving
hat a sense of humor is the most charcteristic
characteristic of the American
lation he expounded on the qualities
vhich differentiate it from the brand of
lumor indulged in by various nations.
These include the irreverence which is
iniversal in American wit, the grotesque
nisspelling and incongruity of cxpresiion,
and the homely philosophy And
lome-spun wisdom which Josh Billings,
i premier American humorist, called
lorsc sense.
Dr. Babcock declared that America's
itandard of the ludicrous was caused by
he unparalleled diversity of types in this
:ountry?particularly the varied charicters
of the Mississippi and early west.
The fear of being laughed at is inher'nt
in human nature. The professor
tated that we are as good as we are,
lot through fear of the law but through
ear of being ridiculed. He concluded
>y saying there were three types of peo>le
who never got in trouble: those in
ove, a fat man, and a good laugher.
?atc never deserts a man as long as he
lolds on to his sense of humor.
He ended by quoting Artemus Ward's
amous advice: A man ought to live
vithin his income if he has to borrow
0 do it. %
Musical selections followed the speech.
1 he first of these were two songs by
,Villiam Boorer, accompanied by Miller
Simpson, who next obliged with twa
Chopin valses.
