Douglas Speaks On
Lack Of Funds
Mayors of Columbia And Charleston
Eulogize Spirit of Student
Body
Homc-coming Day celebrated at the
University last Saturday was very successful.
An interesting program was
given and enough alumni were present
to make the occasion a very pleasant
one., ,
The affair was begun with a dinner
at Steward's Hall starting at 12 o'clock.
The feature of the dinner was speeches
by prominent alumni and officials of
the University.
The appropriation for the University
last year was less per student at the
University than at any other school in
the state, according to Dr. Douglas.
The appropriation at the University is
only $244 per capita while the Citadel
gets $304 per student, continued the
President. Dr. Douglas urged that the
alumni do their best to help right this
injustice and enable the University to
expand as it should.
"The student body of the University
is splendid," said Mayor L. B. Owens
of Columbia. The mayor also expressed
the fond hope that the legislature
would appropriate some real
money to the University.

also expressed gratification at the interest
that the people of Columbia were
taking in the University and its activities.
Mayor Tom Stoney of Charleston
expressed confidence in the present
athlete authorities at the University.
He expressed confidence in the athletic
future of the school if these men were
kept in office and given co-operation.
He pled for the erection of a stadium,
if necessary to collaborate with Clemson.

"There is more whispering and plotting
formed against the University of
South Carolina than any other institution
in the state, not excepting the
State Highway Department," said
Douglas McKay of Columbia. Mr. Mc-<
Kay also asked that the teams of the
University be given more encouragement
and less censure.
The alumni of upper South Carolina
are making real progress despite the
opposition of determined elements, according
to Claude Taylor of Spartanburg.
The upstate alumni arc making
1 real efforts to improve the prestige of
the school in the upstate. Many students
are being convinced of the de;
sirability of coming to school here,
concluded Mr. Taylor.
This ended the program at the luncheon
and the meeting was adjourned to
allow the alumni to attend the CarolinaSewanee
football game.

Sumwalt Attends Meeting of National
Kiwanis Vocational
Guidance Committee
Professor Robert L. Sumwalt of the
Department of Engineering is in
Chicago atending a meeting of National
Kiwanis Committee on Vocational
Guidance, of which he is the national
chairman.
Professor Sumwalt received the
national chairmanship as a result of
his work in the vocational guidance
program put on last year by the local
chapter of Kiwanis. This program consisted
of a scries of lectures on certain
professions by the local leaders in
their respective vocations, and were
given at Columbia High School and al
the University. These talks have been
published in booklet form and distributed
throughout the country.

COLLEGE LADS
SING TO CO-EDS
Apparently the days of gallantry and
chivalry are enjoying a reincarnation
for several campus Romeos have for the
last week been serenading co-eds during
the midnight hours.
On last Tuesday night, the occupants
of the annexes, Fair House, and Rembert
House were awakened from sweet
dreams at the unearthly hour of eleven
o'clock by the strains of "Forgive Me."
This was followed by "Sweetheart of
Sigma Chi," "I Still Get a Thrill," and
"Girl of my Dreams."
The serenaders, who have managed to
keep their identity mysteriously secret,
moved on to the Woman's Building, and
parked on the tennis courts; there they
sang to the accompaniment of a guitar,
and from all accounts, the music was
greatly enjoyed by the thrilled co-eds.
All that was lacking was "Spring Time
in the Rockies," says one co-ed, "but
give 'em time, it is'nt Spring yet."

LEADS GROUPS
Only Three More Meetings To
Be Held This
Semester
Greater interest than ever is being
shown in the Y. M. C. A. discussion
groups. Large numbers of students are
attending the meetings every Tuesday
night, and lively discussions are being
held.
After the meetings of this week the
scores for the various groups stand as
follows: Tenement 20, 762; 28, 723;
16, 704; 29, 698; IS, 694; 9, 686; 14, 680;

27, no report; Sigma Phi Epsilon,
no report.
There will he only three more meetings
in the scries. The next meeting
will be the last at which new members
can be taken in. Visitors will continue
to count for points, however, until the
end of the series.
After the last meeting all members
of the winning group and all members
of any group who have a perfect record
of attendance will cast their votes to
decide whether the Y. M. C. A. will
give, in their honor, a reception to
which girls will be invited or a chicken
supper sans girls.
One of the most interesting discussions
this week was that held in Tenement
29, at which Dr. Weatherford
gave a very inspiring talk.

SCIENCE GROUP
HEARS PAPERS
LECONTE SOCIETY MEETS
Schayer and Petty Discuss Scientific
Subjects at Thursday"
? Meeting
Two members of the University faculty
delivered papers on scientific subjects at
the semi-monthly meeting of the LeConte
Scientific Society held last Thursday
night in the science building.
Dr. Isadore Schayer of the Department
of Hygiene gave a paper on "The
Role Played By One's Constitution in
Health and Disease." Dr. Schayer discussed
the well-known problem of the
susceptibility of certain individuals to
certain diseases. He stated that this condition
was due to some particular type
of physique or some organic peculiarity.
He also attributed the longevity of life
that is a characteristic of certain families
to these same causes.
Dr. J. J. Petty of the Department of
Geology read a paper on "Striated Stones
Tell Story of Abandoned River Valley."
He discussed the story told by striated
or scratched stone of the conditions existing
thousands of years ago in an
abandoned river valley in southwestern
West Virginia. He discussed the ice
blocks which were existent at that time.
This society meets on the second Thursday
of each month to discuss scientific
subjects. The officers are: president, Dr.
W. E. Hoy, Jr.; vice-president, Dr. W.
A. Whitesell, and secretary and treasurer,
Professor Charles F. Mercer.

"We're in the movies nowl" is the
' song that the Winthrop girls have been
singing this week, according to "The
Johnsonian." Path6 Sound News has
been at Winthrop taking a few shots
' of the campus and some numbers by
the Glee 'Club.
Winthrop is to be complimented
upon breaking into the movies. This
reminds us of the time two years ago
i when Fox Movietone News took some
* views of the Carolina-Furman game.
^ In spite of the fact that two years have
passed since they were taken these
' pictures have never been shown in

November 7th probably meant just
another Friday to most colleges and
universities, but to Agnes Scott, it was
Little Girls' day, dedicated to the sen;
iors each year, when they are allowed
to throw away their dignity and dress
and act as they did in their much
younger days.
?"The Agnostic."
We dare all of the "dignified" seniors
at Carolina to stage a "Little
Girls'" day.
The members of the senior class of
Furman will appear in a short time
clad in the purple and white senior
distinctions selected by the class of
'31 to set them apart from the other
students of the campus. A jacket with
a purple and white combination has
been chosen. "The Hornet."
Seniors, it seems something along
this order is needed at Carolina to give
the seniors some distinction since the
rats insist upon leaving their caps off.
: Class editors for the issues of "The
Blue Stocking" that are put out by the
three lower classes at P. C. have been
chosen by the present staff. The juniors
will put out their issue next week. Two
weeks later the sophs have charge, and
Saturday before Christmas holidays
begin, will find the rats exhibiting their
handiwork in the realm of journalism.
Each editor will select his own staff
of assistants from the class he represents.
?"The Blue Stocking."
At two recent meetings of the senior
class, the wearing of the seniors of light
gray hats and spats and the carrying
of a cane has been agitated and discussed.
A unanimous vote of those
seniors present at the two meetings
showed the current opinion to be in
favor of such an adoption.
?"The Old Gold and Black."
(Wofford.)
Perhaps this type of class distinction
would suit our seniors rather than
jackets, as they have at Furman.
A change was made in the constitution
(of the student body of P. C.)
which concerns the duties of the student
who sees one of his fellow students
cheating or in any way breaking
any of the rules laid down in the student
government constitution. In the
past the rule necessitated the student
seeing another breaking a rule to report
to the president of the student
body. The amendment makes possible
the student seeing another breaking
a rule to arise in class and inform the
class that a member was cheating, and

Former Carolin
of Experie
Jamie Spruill, a former student of
this University and winner of last
year's Rhodes' Scholarship* is now
studying modern history at Keble College,
Oxford.
Through Mr. Bill Douglas we have
secured some interesting information
concerning Mr. Spruill. Clippings from
his letters are:
"I sure wish you could stop and talk
awhile with me; but if you did, I am
afraid you would need an introduction.
The fact is I hardly recognize myself;
for not only is it best to do in Rome
as Rome does, one is almost forced to
do so."
"I think I told you that I had joined
the Oxford Ski Club and am going to
St. Moritz for the winter sports. You
must admit that is audacious. I have a
friend from Florida who went last
year and saw his first snow after he
reached the Alps. I just joined the
Club so as to get greatly reduced hotel
rates. I am going along with a friend
from Atlanta. We plan to stop in
London for about a week after we leave
Oxford December 6th. From there we
shall go to St. Moritz where we shall
stay for about two weeks and there we
shall spend the remainder of our six
weeks' vacation either in Paris or
Southern France."
"I am beginning to learn why the
English have tea in the afternoon.
Lunch is so light that one just can't
stick it out till dinner. Driven by starvation,
I am in danger of becoming a tea
hound."
CONCERT GIVEN
BY ORCHESTRA
FIRST PROGRAM OF YEAE
Several Recitals Presented By
Violin Department During
Past Week
The violin department, directed by
Mme. Felice de Horvath, has been
very active in giving programs and
recitals during the past week.
The University symphony orchestra
of fifty players gave the first concert of
their season in the chapel Thursday
to a capacity audience. The next concert
will present a Christmas program
on December 11th.
The orchestra broadcasted five numbers
from the "Nutcracker Suite" on
Monday night during the State of
South Carolina hour.
The University ensemble, composed
of violinists from the University
under the direction of Mme. de Horvath,
gave a short program for the
State Superintendents on Friday. The
same group played for a tea at the
governor's mansion Wednesday.
The Interstate opera company orchestra,
composed of some of the University's
best players, will go to Batesburg
Friday to present "Rigolctto" at
two performances.
Elizabeth Moore, violinist, pupil of
Mme. de Horvath, will broadcast
Saturday night at seven, using the
Scitz concerto number one.
A small concert orchestra from the
violin department will play for the
dedication of the new auditorium on
December 1st. The full orchestra will
play for the Elk's Memorial service
on December 7th.
William Woods, violinist, was soloist
at the Evening Music club on last
Monday.
in case the said cheating was not
stopped immediately he would be reported
to the president.
?"The Blue Stocking."
At the meeting of the Blue Stocking
staff last Monday the business and
editorial staffs passed a resolution
whereby the editor and business manager
of "The Blue Stocking" would receive
issues of the paper for the four
years after graduation.
?"The Blue Stocking."
This is a very admirable way to reward
the hardest workers on a paper
by letting them keep up with the paper
for a few years after their time of
managing it.
Five ways to explain those marks
that are going home:
1. The teacher does not know anything
about the subject himself, and is
jealous of your knowledge.
2. The teacher added your marks
very carelessly.
3. You didn't feel like working this
month.
4. It's not good taste to do well in
studies in college.
5. Tell the truth?you're just too
dumb to do better.
