Faculty Gives Noted Awards ???? k At the graduation ^exercises 5 last June the. Algernon Sydney Suljivan aWard was granted to two outstanding students and one prominent alumnus ?Wilson O. Weldon, o( Columbia; Loraine Gale, of Richland; and Bernard A. Early, alumni secretary. Mr. Weldon was one of the most outstanding men on the campus during his years at Carolina. He was editor of The Gamecock, president of the senior class, and junior president of -the Euphradian literary society. He was also a^nember of Omircon Delta Kappa, national leadership fraternity; Delta Chi Alpha, religious service fraternity; and vice-chairman of the Debating Council. Miss Gale was another most outstanding student, having held the offices of president of the Euphrosynian literary society; secretary of this' Y. W. C. A.; vice-president of Eta Sigma Phi, literary fraternity; and secretary of the 9panish club. She was also a member of Alpha Kappa Gamma, leadership sororiety; of the Thespian club; and of Chi Omega, social sororiety. Besides his work as alumni Secretary, Mr. Early performed valuable service in helping to defeat, last year, the bill in the state legislature abolishing free tuition. With the object of jerpethuating the influence of such a man as Mr. Sullivan, not a$ an individual but as a type, the faculty committee each year makes this award with the purpose of recognizing fine spiritual qualities practically applied to daily living, as distinct rom high scholarship, athletic achievement, success in business, professional ability, political leadership, or mere world prominence in any calling. Nevertheless, by no means does the committee fail to realize that the highest spiritual and humanitarian qualities c*n be found in intitpate and inseperable association with a successful pursuit of any of the above named avocatipns. * * Acting Presi Bl E&jU y- "'^.. i '- <-' ; j; ;o;/.-; 1 # i B H iH ?& . - ' - " SPc * ? wm ''.' ;v::' jfl .', Dr. Leonard T.

"... <' - ' pected end Game Carolina and Duke to Compete at Fair Grounde Saturday Afternoon. Betting Favors Duke 300 Expected /or the Duke Luncheon in Jefferson Hotel at Noon Saturday* i Approximately 15,000 rabid spectators are expected to throng the big bowl at the Fair grounds two o'clock Saturday, watch Carolina and Duke set off the fireworks in the first of the big Southern Conference games. Prominent people from three states, including the governor of South Carolina and probably the governor of North Carolina, will view the battle of devils and gamecocks. Victories for both sides are freely predicted by their respective partisians, but the betting seems to favor Duke. . The Carolina 1team considerably outweighs 'Dijke, but the latter has a veteran team, while the bulk of the Gamecocks are untried sophomores who made flaming reputations as freshmen. This is one game in which the rival coaches probably attract more attention than the teams. Wallace Wade makes his debut for the Blue Devils. He is one of the best coaches in the nation and his powerful Alabama elevens rivaled those of Notre Dame. Billy Laval, the Gamecock wizard, is noted for upsetting the dope, ahd the Carolina students and supporters expect to see this done Saturday. The Duke alumni in thi^ State expects 300 people to attend the Duke luncheon given at noon Saturday in the Jefferson hotel, Either Dr. Wil- *. liam P. Few, president of Duke University, or Dr. Robert L. Flowers, an executive officer, will be the chief speaker. The luncheon will be over about 1:15 and those attending will be escorted by motorcycle police to the Fair grounds where the battle will take place. The Duke, Carolina, and ' Shrine bands will fill the air with noise. It is expected that they will add much interest to the contest. n. s. c. O. D. K.
