C. Herbert of Pelzer made his inaugural speech last night to a large number as he became president of the Clariosophic literary society. His address was preceded by the exaugural of J. Woodrow Lewis of Darlington. "We members are fortunate in that we are privileged to be actively associated with our literary society at the time when many of its prominent graduates will return to attend the 125th celebration. Through meeting these men and hearing their reminiscences, we shall have inculcated in us a desire to become as noteworthy as they when we shall have finished our work at the University." The new president referred to student criticism of the societies, remarking that this often comes from .those who are either ignorant or misinformed of the true value reaped by members of the organization. "When you are talking with the alumni of the societies who will be here for the celebration next month, excite them to tell you of some of their experiences while at the University. Not only will this give you an insight into the University of the past, but it will show you that after all our alumni are only hardened college seniors." (OONTlNl'Kl) ON l'A'UK 8KVKN) U. 8.

Havilah Babcock Delivers Speech Beginner Of Series Professor Speaks Over WIS Wednesday On "What I Am Going To Do?" "Enthusiasm, is the most important single element in success," declared Dr. Havilah Babcock of the English department in his address over station WIS last Wednesday, during the University broadcasting hour. "No man can achieve any substantial success in an occupation that is uncongenial to him. The first requirement is that you should like the thing you expect to do, like it so strongly that you contemplate it with enthusiasm." The subject of Dr. Babcock's speech, which was the first of a scries to be presented weekly over WIS by_ the members of the faculty, was "What Am I Going To Do?" In addition, Dr. Babcock considered the pertinent question, "How Can I Decide What I Should Do?" "The surest receipe I know," stated the speaker, "is to follow your own preferences. Follow your nose. Continue in that department of learning in which you excell. You can do best what you like best to do." "Once you have committed yourself to a choice, saturate yourself in that profession. Associate with the practitioners of that profession. Live in an environment of that profession. "Don't, be afraid of having a boss," warned Dr. Babcock, "Don't attempt to crowd into a few standard professions. Don.'t be afraid to start at the bottom. Don't wait for opportunity to knock at your door. Don t feel that it is necessary for you to leave the state to find room for your genius to expand." Tells Of Coming Of Noted Dancer William Dean, director of the Palmetto Players of the University of South Carolina, has announced that negotiations have been practically completed for a Columbia appearance of Miss Angna Enters in a dancedramatic program at the Columbia theatre, December 3. Miss Enters has an international reputation, having appeared with great success in Paris, London, New York, Boston and Chicago. December 1 she will appear in Philadelphia, after which Miss Enters will come to Columbia for her engagement, which is being sponsored by the Palmetto Players. Writing of Miss Enter's performance in the London (Eng.) Sunday Times, James Agate says: "Miss Enters is an exquisite mime. You might say that 'Pique-Nique 18G0' is pure Renoir, and 'Qdalisquc' just Manet, that 'Pavona?Spain lflth Century would remind one of Lucrczia Borgia dancing at a party except that she is from another country, that '.Piano Music' is a story by Maupassant, and that over 'Narcissism' the late D. H. I,awrencc would have expended many chapters. Miss Enters is the best example of a complete individual theater."

Gamecocks And Bulldogs Meet At Orangeburg Fair Largfc Crowd Expected To Attend Game Thursday At 2 O'clock The Bulldog of the Citadel and the Gamecock of the University of South Carolina will clash tomorrow at the Orangeburg County Fair, marking the 25th time that these two foes have come together on the gridiron since the good year 1905. The game, often ailed the junior classic of South Carolina football, attracts annually more than 8000 people from all parts of the state. The entire student bodies of both schools will be present to back their respective teams to the last ditch. The Citadel cadet corps will add color to the occasion, and during the half will present several drills on the field. The Carolina students, although not attired in such paraphanalia as that of the cadets, will add much to the occasion. With the rising of the sun Thursday morning, hundreds of local students will take to the highway in an attempt to beat their way to Orangeburg. By train, auto, and other sundry ways, the rest of the student body will journey down to the neighboring city. The people of Orangeburg have always been cordial and courteous to Gamecock supporters, and they don't intend ti .et up this year. A free dinner at 1? clock noon, free passage into the ground, a dance, and various other 1 ?tions will be given in honor of those of the faithful who back their team tomorrow. The game this year will begin at 2 o'clock instead of the traditional high noon. From then on, for the space of two hours or so, two of the strongest teams in the state will fight for supremacy.

' . * ' Celebration Pi Are Promot Anniversai ? .? < Want Decries Lost Prestige Retiring President Urges Need Of Active Leadership; Roberts Installed "The literary societies of the University lack nothing so much as an acttive, constructive leadership. If they are to survive, the president that you elect must be something more than figureheads; they must have other functions than that of presiding over supposedly serious discussions that invariably evolve into an ordinary bull-session." So declared LeRoy M. Want of Darlington in his exaugural address as president of the Euphradian Literary Society. He severely scored past and retiring officers for their general lack of efficiency and failure to attend to the duties of the positions to which they were elected. "There are several things which need to be done if the societies are to retain their influence," the retiring president stated. "The constitution of The Carolinian falls far short of being satisfactory. The staff of The Gamecock is so restrictive that only a small percentage of the student body is allowed to get journalistic experience on a publication paid for by the whole-student body. The societies must forget their former greatness and must readjust themselves to win a new greatness, a fame based on an understanding and control of modern collegiate conditions." In making his inaugural speech, Carlile Roberts of Columbia, newly-elected president, said: (CONTINUED ON l'AGK SEVEN) u. 8. c.
