The speaker of the occasion was Dr. Hugh Murchison, who gave the boys a short discussion on prayer. This is the first of a series of programs to be featured with outside speakers. The plan of the program committee is to have a different speaker each week, talking on subjects that directly effect college life. At this meeting committees were appointed for the following duties: Study of the effect of the freshman camp upon new men; to study the freshman handbook in regard to the good it does the new student just entering the University ; and lastly, to specialize on the work of the Freshman Y.

The contest was under the direction of the Quill and Scroll, national honor society of high school journalists, and it was open to all high school students. Miss Griffin, who was initiated into Quill and Scroll last spring, took part in all phrases of the contest but received honorable mention for headline writing, one of the most difficult parts to attempt. While at high school, Josephine was a member of the Quill and Scroll Club and of the National Honor Society, took an active part in the Dramatic Club, besides helping at the Town Theater, and belonged to several other organizations. She was elected historian and "most literary" girl in the senior class that graduated in February. Last year Josephine was editor-in-chief of HiLife, having held several previous places on the staff, and she is now a heele on The Gamecock. \ w \ YOUF \ YOUI i ?1M1,Liooktt& Myzss Tobacco ( M . v.':*'.Jhlv. v: i_ ^ TIVE MEN OING SQUAD __ \ Sigma Kappa fraternities.

VOLUNTEERS MEET AT COKER COLLEGE Students Convention To Be Held At Hartsville In Near Future The Student Volunteer Convention of the State'of South Carolina is to be held at Coker College, Hartsville, on March 6, 7 and 8.

Press Isn't Quite Free Gamecock To Free Itself For The Annual "Yellow Sheet" Issue "Freedom of the press" as concerns The Gamecock is no doubt a reality, but it has only been made so at the cost of imprisoning the principle me- I chanical servants of the press. The famed "ball and chain" has invaded the newspaper office, for two of the typewriters are chained to their positions by chains large enough' to secure something twice the size of the "victims." The machines have been chained merely as a precautionary measure, according to the editor. They arc fixed in such a way that they can be easily freed from their entanglements when necessary, and at the same time, professional borrowers are at least discouraged from their annoying practices. It is rumored that the typewriters will be loosened in preparation for the annual "Yellow Sheet," so that even this restriction will not be an incumbrance to The Gamecock in its efforts to tell "all the news not fit to print." u. s. c.
