Alt <! ' Arthur Cornw Succefss ^ *\ * 41 Carolina's Lyric Singer" Goes To New York To Win Fortune ^In Music t It is' no small jump from a small church choir down in the Piedmont scction of South CarolinaN to radio singing in New York City. But, Arthur Cornwall, known as "Carolina's Lyric Tenor," has made the jump. No scholarships, no angels, no hometown chambers of commerce have ) financed him. Instead, a young tenor determined to follow the path of his ambitions and come to New York <jity?where the talents of the world arc gathered?makes the plunge, and with only a few dollars in his pocket. Young Cornwall was inspired to pursue a musical career after an interview with the great Italian soprano, Madame Galli-Curci. It was during her last concert in Columbia, South Carolina, that the young tenor, then a student i^ the School of Journalism at the UniVcrsity of South Carolina, sought the advice of the famous songbird. The diva was enthusiastic over the qualities of the young man's voice. She said at the time: "Arthur Cornwall's voice has a luscious, velvet-like quality that is decidedly and distinctively his own. There is a warmth and sweetness of tone-color in it that is most unusual and appealing."

It was none other than the late Dr. William Davis Melton, president of the University, \Vho affectionately called young Cornwall?"Carolina's Lyric Tenor," so this young tenor not only carries the "title" of his native South Carolina, but of his beloved Alma Mater, as well. Then he decided to take the plunge and go direct to New York City. He felt that his wings were untried, but he had plenty of courage, determination, ambition and hope. "I had a sense of humor," he smiled, "else I would not have had the nerve to take the chance. I knew what I would be up against; but it meant so much to me. I made up my mind not to let disappointments make me bitter. I expected them?and I may say, I have h^d plenty of them." When he arrived in New York he had the familiar experience of truding from office to office, with no letters of introduction and no "pull." At last the - opportunity can\e, it was while singing on a "Mother's Day" program, over a Metropolitan radio station, that the voice of Soutl* Carolina's best known radio singer, attracted the at- ' tention of a well-known New York City church organist.

Early, alumni secretary. Crowds from all over this state and from many others will be on hand' seated in the special sections reserved for them. Graduates from Columbia are expected to attend almost enmasse while other sections of South Carolina will send large delegations. Other states will also be represented by a sizeable number. Among the visiting old grads, as as far as the ticket records show, C. H. Crawford is the most traveled. He lists his home as South America but, nevertheless he intends to be on hand tomorrow. Also far to the South Daytona Beach,- Flofida is represented by Dr. J. Rion Chandler, while in the opposite direction New York sends William A. Barber and J. S. Dudley and Edwin G. Seibcls, a native Columbian and one of the University's most distinguished alumni. Dr. George Wallser and Edward P. Moses will represent Baltimore and Washington respectively. From Charlotte, N. C. will come C. D. Waring. Out of Georgia will be seen O. C. Blackmail of Atlanta and Harry C. Edmunds, dean of the law school ol the University of Georgia at Athens. Derrick To Address Atlanta Conference Proju S. M. Derrick of the rural social economics department addressed the joint conference of the Southeastern Economic Association and the National Tax Association in the Hotel Ansley, Atlanta, Georgia, October 15. His speech will be centered around a general topic dealing with "Economic Developments During the Past Year in the Various Southern States." The conference opened on the 15th and closed Saturday, October 17th. *?U. H. C. church. Wbile< singing in this church an official of the American Record Corporation, New York, heard him and arranged for an audition. This being successful, he was engaged to make ten duets for his company. AmongHhe most popular of his records are: "Absent," "Pass It On," "When They Ring Those Golden Bells," and "Where We Never Grow Old." He is contracted to make twenty more numbers for the same company, and several other recording companies, as well as records used for broadcast purposes. There is much to suggest his native South Carolina in his voice and speech?warmth, richness and the ring of sincercty. He is, primarily, one would imagine an adventurous person who loves life and who gets a tremendous kick, out of it. In these days when everyone wears the features of disillusion, and boredom and cynicism is the order of the era, it is decidedly stimulating to encounter somebody who is enjoying himself hugely, and is not afraid to say so. From his mother, who died several years ago, the young singer inherited his vocal ability. She was a talented pianist, singer and artist?having attracted more than usual attention while a student at Greenville Women's collcg?, Greenville, S. C. Arthur Cornwall's background is a firmly and beautifully woven tapestry of family life. Into this tapestry the threads of his early days and his school and university experience are embroidered. His colorful background has given him stability, a sense of values and a joy in living which is exceedingly pleasant to behold. A,44-item questionnaire on the general trend of "peace or war" given at the University of Chicago brought out some interesting results: The upperclassmen are le^ war-loving than the lower. Women are less militaristic than nen. Protestants are more pacifistic than Catholics. Socialists are more in favor of peace han Democrats or Republicans. .Ex-soldiers tend to be more peaceoving than men who have never gone o war. Jews are even more pacifistic than Protestants. * i / Keith Is Kind I To Poor Senior ?? Benevolent Professor Gives A Deserving Student Chance To Make Good ^011 have been highly recommended," hegan Prof. Oscar L. Keith secretary of Phi Beta Kappa, while speaking over the telephone to a certain journalism senior, "as an efficient salesman. Because of this, I have finally decided to let you help sell the season tickets for the Town Theatre." (Here the senior becomes most profuse in his thanks as he sees many doubloons pouring into his frazzled trousers as a result of his supposed commission on ticket sales.) "Yes, indeed, Professor, it will be a pleasure to do this, and I thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I assure you that I shall do my best," quoth the money-mad journalist. The next day our above-referred to Midas approaches the other student whom he has been assigned to assist. After a hasty confab, the two arc about to separate when old Midas happens to think of the "commission." "What percentage do wc get, by the way, old man?" "Percentage? Whadda you mean? Man, this is all in the interest of the Town Theatre. I was asked to do this by Professor Keith, and I saw no way out of it." Exeunt the C-avarge journalism senior and his admiration for Phi Beta Kappa secretaries who are always trying to "aid" efficient salesmen-students. 0. 8. O.

Six Men Fall In Scrimmage Fray With Freshmen Sends Varsity Players To Infirmary; Recheck Exams A scrimmage between the Varsity and Rat football teams last week put six members of the Varsity in the infirmary for varying lengths of time. Those suffering from this "outrageous" behavior on the part of the freshmen were: Dick Shinn, Joe Shinn, Joe Johnston, Bill Barrentine, Grayson Wolf, and Roy Turner. The stay at the infirmary would have been unbearable if it had not been that several heroes not wounded in battle were awaiting with appropriate sympathy for the vanquished; these lucky (?) hosts were: Piute Wimberly, J. H. Lipstig, Scrugs Hope, Marshal Williams and last but ccrtainly not least, R. H. ^(Punk) Atkinson. What! no girls? Yes, no girls, not one in the infirmary all week. Again the' freshmen are at fault. Miss Copeland is using hours of her time rechecking frosh medical exams. u. s. o. Princeton University sent out questionnaires to its alumni body just to find out how they were getting along, and discovered that the average alumnus owns one and nine-tenths automobiles, six and a half suits of clothes, and has one and five-eighths babies. That's pretty good, but Willie wonders just how the parents solve the problem of that five-eighths of a baby. The logical answer is to dress him in I a half suit of clothes, pack him into the nine-tenths of an automobile, and send him to Harvard.?Boston University.
