Vr " ; ALUMN] Alumni Plan To Carry 0\ The Alumni Association of the University will soon commence its winter program of county and district meetings of the alumni, which will be held / throughout the- State and in nearby states. Meetings will be arranged for all alumni of the University residing in the counties in which the meetings are to be held and, in the case of . district meetings, from the surrounding^ counties. 'These meetings have been. held for the past three years, and have served to bring the alumni, residing in counties some distance away from the University, into xloser contact with the officials of the University and, at the same time, tfye purposes, aims and ambitions of the Alumni Association have been explained to the alumni in personal contact. ! It has been customary, in the past three years, and the same procedure will be followed this year, for Dr. D. M. Douglas, President of the University; Dean L. T. Baker, and other faculty members to represent the Executive Department of the University. Dr. R. K. Foster, Director of Student Activities; C9ach Laval, and the captain of the footbztll team represent the Athletic Department. The president of the student body and officers of different student organizations represent the student body. This year, Yates Williams, president of the student body, and captain-elect Miles Blount of the football team, along with other students, will make these trips. George Bell Timmerman, president of the Alumni Association, and Barney A. Early, executive secretary will represent the general Alumni Association. In this way all phases of University work and alumni work arc presented in these meetings to the former students of the University. The purpose of the alumni, interested In the Alumni Association, is to form a compact organization of former students of the University, which shall be representative of all the former students of the University. It is a well-established fact, by the experiences of other large ^Universities^ of the South and the nation, that the only way that the alumni can successfully become a useFRESHMAN CO-EDS PREPARE BASKET After Vain Search For Needy Associated Charities Receive Food A group of freshmen co-eds started out Thursday morning to carry aid in the form of a Thanksgiving basket to the poor and needy. After traversing many muddy by-paths in the outskirts of Columbia, the expedition returned, still carrying the basket. Having failed to find the family, they presented the basket Jto the associated charities, which, according to Marian Finlay, chairman of the committee, they did quite "thankfully." The basket was the gift of the members of the Freshman Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. u. s. c. * REDUCED DUES OFFERED ALUMNI ARE CUT TO HALF PRICE Association Desires To Keep. Younger Alumni In Touch With U. S. C. The members of the classes of 1928 and 1929 are eligible for membership in the Alumni Association at half price, the amount being $2.50. This rule of the Alumni As^ociatioiy affects any student for a period of two years after leaving college. The rule was made retroactive to take in the members of the class of ^928, who are still eligible for membership at the reduced rate during this fiscal year. The Alumni Association would like to get the interest of the younger alumni as Nvell as those who have been away from college for many years, and feels that this inducement will serve to assist the younger alumni in maintaining their contact with their Alma Mater.

It is hoped that dunn& the present alumni fiscal year, which begins July 1st and ends y that the membership will reach the coveted goal of one thousand. . When these meetings were started out in the state, it was hard to work up interest in them, but during the past two years the greatest interest has been manifested. This was specially demonstrated in the case of Spartanurg. Mr. Claud A. Taylor, of Spartanburg, while attending the Alumni Home-Coming meeting, stated that he had a great deal of difficulty in working up the first meeting for Spartanburg county. The second meeting was with a great deal of less effort, and today the "Spartanburg alumni arc among the most interested in the Alumni Association and its benefits to the University. This has proven the case in many counties. Meetings are planned for this year at Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, Orangeburg, Rock Hill, Florence, Darlington, Bennettsville, Sumter, Union, Aiken, Charlotte, N. C., Asheville, N. C., Atlanta, Ga. These meetings will start in January and last through April. In order t6 perfect a well-rounded Alumni Association, it is necessary to have tHe general interest of all alumni in the State, and, not confine the interest to any particular county or section. For. this reason, every effort will be made until,every section of the State is thoroughly organized and working through the general Alumni Association. Individual arid group alumni work and interest are appreciated, but they can never perform the real service for the University that a united, well-organized Alumni Association can and will render. Efforts will be continued to bring the University of South Carolina alumni into the Association, and, while it has beeti. realized that the conditions during the past three years have not been ideal, yet those in charge are by np means discouraged and will continue until the results are accomplished. In union there is strength. marriages i MEW-HIOTT The wedding of Loraine Mew of Varnville, and Lloyde Hiott of Walterboro, was beautifully solemnized last Wednesday evening in Beaufort, S. C.

ORCHESTRA GIVES WEEKLY PROGRAM The University Orchestra was heard over WIS again Wednesday night, when they broadcasted a Tschaikowsky program during University hour. Dr. Patterson Wardlaw, retiring dean of the School of Education, discussed "Scholarship." \ fhe/selections chosefi for this audition by Madame Felice de Horvath, director of the orchestra, were from the delightful "Nutcracker Suite." After Mr. Mattcson sang the Alma Mater as an opening, the musical unit played the march, with much vivacity and precision. This was followed by the interesting "Danse Chinois," and "Ea Danse des Mirlitons." The program was brought to a close with an adept rendition of the "Valse des Fleurs." u. s. c.-?

I he most miniature of all* courses, and one probably unique, is that located at the Columbia Y. M. C. A., the handiwork of Evans Cannon, for-' mer Carolina student. The course is played on a rug, and is 20 feet by 10 feet. The longest hole is 12 feet, the shortest 5 feet. The fairways are 6 inches wide. Although par is 21, and the course record, held by the inventor, is 16, over 100 strokes have been taken over the nine holes. As many as twelve players have played the course, at the same time, which, considering its size> is in itself a record. Evans Cannon, the inventor, is now the Boys' Work secretary of the Columbia Y," and is the youngest man who has ever held this position. He attended Carolina in '26 and '27. While here he was in the School of Commerce. He was secretary of the Sophomore class, and held several offices in the Euphradian Literary society. ^ CHICKEN-HEARTED CO-EDS FEED CATS There are many prospective members for the S. P. C. A. on the Carolina Campus. Their tender-heartedness is often brought out by the biology department. Monday night some of the co-cds of Professor Penny's Histology " class went up to the laboratory, where they found two scrawny little kittens in a cage, awaiting a bright sunny day for their last rites to be performed. The co-eds, softened by the meek meows, went down to the Canteen, procured milk and crackers, and fed the cats. .While they were there some boys came in also bearing gifts of food, so they (all sat down and enjoyed a feast while (the kittens romped and played around the room. ,, u. s. c.

S. Koscielny, editor of the Detroit Collegian of the College of the City of Detroit, is between the devil and the deep, blue sea. At the present time the student editor is very capably holding his own against his two combatants. Practically all of his fellow undergraduatesv are on his side in both the censorship battle and in his fight to edit the paper as he wants to. The argument started when an independent newspaper published under the auspices of the Kappa Chi fraternity claimed that the Collegian was giving too little space to sports and too much to other campus events which they considered less important. Koscielny replied editorially, stating that he would run the paper as he wanted to as long as he remained editor and that when everyone wished that the college be known and run as a country club rather than an institution of learning, he would not only retire from the Collegian, but from the college as well. SNOWDEN SPEAKS ON STATE HISTORY Dr. Yates Snowden deliyered a series . of( lectures last week to Dr. Meriwether's sophomore history classes. The subject of his talks was, "South Carolina in the Eighteenth Century." He also reviewed and showed to the'classes many old and valuable books by South Carolina authors on South Carolina history. After taking the city address and the denomination of each student, he gave them references to books on the history of their localities and on their churches. u. s. c. Students Not Any Younger The widespread belief that student* are now entering college at an earlier age than in the past is not substantiated by the available facts, says the dean of the University of Arizona. Although comprehensive figures have never been compiled, the trend in many universities appears to indicate that freshmen are as old, if not older, than in college generations of the past.
