Debaters Defeat Charleston Team Stokes And Brown Uphold Negative Side Of "Free Trade" Query The boys' debating team of the Uniservity made a fine showing in their ninth consecutive victory for this season. On April 11 at Charleston, the team defeated the College of Charleston in a convincing debate on the Free Trade question. In their upholding of the negative side of the argument they showed such absolute reasoning that they came through with a unamious decision in their favor. The victorious team consisted of Troy Stokes of Timmonsville, and J. W. Brown of Bishopville. Stokes has been a member of the debating team for two years while this is Browti's first year. Such outstanding victories as this are making quite a reputation for both the personnel of the team and the University. u. s. c. BLUE STOCKINGS BOW TO BIRDS 12-1 (Continued from page six) A barrage of base hits at opportune moments coupled with seven hit pitching by Brigham, righthanded fireball expert, enabled the Birds to defeat the P. C. baseball team by the score of 12 to 1 in the first of a two-game series. Opening up with three tallies in the first frame, the Carolina Sluggers pushed over seven counters before the Blue Stockings scored their lone run in the first half of the eighth. The Birds then completed the scoring for the afternoon by smothering Copeland and his mates with five markers, to make th# count 12-1. Diminutive Archie Vaughn led the Rooster batting attack with three smashes out of four trips to the plate. Laval, Brigham, and Boineau ran close with two singles each. Harley and Brigham knocked in three runs each. Laval also accounted for three Bird runs. Brigham kept the P. C. batters fanning air with eight strikeouts to his credit. Only two Bird batsmen whiffed before the offerings of Copeland. This was the Birds' fifth straight victory of the season and the seventeenth in a rowd. Score by innings: P.

A. is observing this week along with 800 other colleges throughout the world. Mr. Smith told of the founding of the Young Men's Christian Association and of the growth it has enjoyed, giving as the reason for this growth the fact that the Y. M. C.

EUPHROSYNEAN ENJOYS SOCIAL The Kuphrosyren Literary society held its weekly meeting April 15 in the Euphradian hall in the form of a social. The members, business having been dispensed with, went into "huddles" all about the room over plates of crackers, sandwiches, and Dixie cups. Tuition Bill. By Carol (Continued from page one) fees are raised and all free tuition eliminated, it means the end of my college career, as these first two years have exhausted my savings from three years outside work, and I shall have to seek loans to finish in the next two years as it stands." Toiled in Evenings "In the two years I have been at the university," declares J. Albert Fincher, a Union sophomore, "I have actually I deprived myself of clothes and many seemingly necessary things, worked every evening trying to meet the small fund furnished by a normal scholarship and I stay in school. If tuition fees arc raised to $100 it will be practically impossible for me to remain in school two years longer." "If tuition fees arc raised," says Milton Levkoff, Columbia freshman, many Columbians who were able to go to the university for comparatively little more than they needed for high school will be compelled to borrow heavily or do without higher education entirely." If tuition fees arc raised as proposed," Sophomore William G. Carter of Carbondale, 111., states "I probably shall not return to school because of the many other schools where tuition fees are materially lower." "I am borrowing the money which makes it possible for me to attend the university, James II. Galloway, sophomore from Lynchburg, S. C., declares. Raising the tuition fees would render it very difficult if not altogether impossible for me to return next year." "It is hard enough to make both ends meet now," asserts Robert II. Atkinson of Sumter, freshman law student, who would be required to pay $150 tuition annually under the new plan. "I have worked at old jobs such as driving a log truck, clerking in a store, and selling life insurance to put myself this far through college. Give me a chancc to com plete my education." Go to Other States I expect to enter the law school next year, declares Jack Hall, sophomore from Batcsburg. "The proposed bill fixing tuition there at $150 will prevent me from entering and I am very positive it | will cause a number of students to go to other states or drop out of college entirely." "I will be unable to attend the university next year if the tuition fees arc raised as proposed, because my sense of independence would not allow me to let my parents make the sacrifice," states Leonard Williamson, Aiken sophomore. Miss Jimmie I,ou Bishop, freshman from Inman, is emphatic that she "will not be able to attend the university next year if tuition fees are raised, and have a brother here at the university in the same position. My parents arc making great sacrifices now to let me attend the university. It means the world to me to gain my education here." The material raise in tuition fees as contemplated "would be injurious to the educational standing of our state," in | f HT. ^ W .. 1 HL* ^ JHI . j K ^?Pi H 1HK . .ij5 < ' B Ji B M Sara Cassels, who was last night inaugurated as president of the Y.

A. council will make an excursion to the coast for the purpose of holding their annual retreat, at which plans will be discussed for the work of the "Y" for the coming year. Any student of the campus who is interested in this work may attend the retreat. Each member of the party will pay the amount of $2 toward the expenses of the excursion. The trip will be made in the Glee Club bus, the party leaving Flynn Hall at 12:00 noon Friday, May 1 and returning Sunday afternoon. Mr. Nelson, national secretary of "Y" student work will lead the discussion at the retreat. Deplored ina Students the opinion of T. C. Hankins, Lakeview Junior who doubts his ability to return if fees go up. Miss Ruby Ott, senior of Columbia, avers "I shall not be able ever to receive my master of arts degree bete, although I should like to do so. Just $85 a month will not permit many teachers to prepare themselves at an institution at which tuition is $200, as proposed for graduates." "If the tuition fees are raised," states Miss Ethel Galloway, sophomore from clloree, "I shall not return to the universiyt. I shall find it much less expensive to attend another school." "I have four sisters who will be deprived of a college education if the proposed bill to increase tuition fees is accepted," states Miss Darice Jackson of Campobello, who says she herself will be unable to return. Dodson Still of Barnwell sees a younger brother left without college education, saying "if proj>oscd increases in tuition are carried out, my brother who hopes to attend college will be unable to do so." Miss Mary Draughon Winecoff, senior from Florence, declares "I am planning to come back next year for graduate work, but if the tuition fees arc raised it will be impossible." S. B.? Stephenson, Jr., of Hartsville, asserts "increased tuition will prevent many students, myself among them, from returning to the university next fall. Students who have begun their education possibly will.never receive their degrees." "I am working my way through school this year, and that is hard enough in South Carolina now during these hard times," state W. E. Tisdalc. "If the proposed raises are made, it will be practically impossible for me to attend school next year." Nine Sure of Return Nine of the 100 students who voiced their positions can return without being concerned by the increased fees.. Indicative of nine per cent of the student body, they state as follows: L. L. Hamilton, junior, McCuoll, "if free tuition is abolished, I can comc back provided the, free scholarships arc not also abolished." II. B. Hutt, Florence freshman, "I will come back to Carolina if they raise tuition, but I certainly will feel the increased expense." J. R. Bell, Harlcyville freshman, "Although the bill will affcct me very much as it seems to be very high, I will be able to come back next year. I have a sister at Winthrop that it will affect also as the increase will mean ?120 o year in my family. This amount is difficult to raise in such hard times." 1 Louis Rosen, Charleston junior, "Although the proposed raise in tuition fees possibly may not affect me very much, it is only too apparent even to the casual observer that such a great increase will mean that many worthy South Carolinians will not be able to get a college education."

Yale is second with 80 million, Columbia third with 70 million, while Chicago follows with 55 million, M. I. T. and Stanford with 30 million, Dexas with 27 million, and Johns Hopkins, Roch, and Princeton each have more than 25 million. Athletics at Oxford The Colgate Maroon tells of athletics as they are at Oxford. Sports are substantially intra-mural. There are no paid coaches. A player participates only if he wishes; he is not urged to play. Little time is spent in compulsory practice. There is none of the "rah-rah" spirit common in American colleges. The important question is, "Did you have a good game?" not "Who won?" - f The Lie Detector Works Five valuable books disappeared from the library at the University of Chicago recently, so in class the students were told that unless the books were returned within 24 hours, each would be subjected to a lie detector test. The next day not only were those five books back where the belonged,- but also five others, missing from the previous semester. Collegiate Politics The Sheaf at the University of Saskatchewan carries advertisements of students campaigning for office. Substantial sized ads accompanied by pictures have all the zip and "the man for the job" attitude that one usually finds in municipal elections. Attention, Seniors! A college degree has been estimated to be worth $72,000 by Dean Everett Lord of Boston University. He claims that increased earning power resulting from high education is responsible for the high figure. Can It Be Truel Washington State College maintains that college yells and excessive smoking are bringing about a marked lowering of female voices. Harvard has provided a prolific source of future wisecracks by naming its new freshman dormitory Wigglesworth Hall. When students at the University of Cambridge are expelled they are given a mock funeral as they leave. Forty-five years ago South .Dakota State College students debated on the subject, "Resolved that a woman has more influence over man than money has."

Because the professor of psychology declared in a lecture a preference for well-dressed students at the University of Georgia, three men came to his class next day wearing tuxedoes and silk "toppers." A men's dancing chorus of thirty-two members has been organized at Princeton. The director says that the public is tired of chorus girls. A special telephone system has been installed between the men's and women's dormitories at Antioch College in the hope of promoting better and increased social contracts. Men at Morningside College have raised an objection because coeds appear for breakfast clad in pajamas. One of the outstanding senior coeds at the University of Arizona this year is Christine Garcia, a Papago Indian girl. Her chief activities outside the classroom have been athletic. She has been a firstclass pitcher on the Varsity Villager's baseball team, a guard on their basketball team, a fullback in her class hockey,' and a member of the girls' tennis squad. Gifts of more than $1,000,000 have been received by Wtsleyan University in its drive for $3,000,000 as a centennial fund to be raised before October. Seven gifts have been for $100,000 each. The University of Cincinnati has built a "bumming room" for lazy students. Students of Sweet Briar arc fined ten dollars when they return late from a vacation, without having submitted the required explanation to the Dean previous to the reopening of classes. San Francisco State has adopted a very apt name for their athletic teams. It is "Golden Gators," and is symbolic of the city by the Golden Gate. u. s. c. "This job of bringing home the bacon is no joke, sighed Dr. Bass. "No, and on top of that I always have to stop at the 'Friendly" and bring home the bakin' too," was Professor Davis's comment.
