Columbia College
The annual convention of the South
Carolina College Press Association
will be held in ^olumbia on December
3rd and 4th, according to an announcement
by 'William I. Latham,
president, after a business meeting of
the officers held at Columbia College
last week. Plans for the convention
were discussed and several committees
appointed to go to work on them.
Representatives from college publications
throughout the state, w ill be
present in Columbia for the "two day
session. The convention was held in
Spartanburg last year, with Converse
and Wofford colleges acting as the
hosts. An invitation to meet in Columbia
this year, was extended by
the Columbia College and Carolina
delegates and accepted.
Several noted journalists will be
present to address the delegates in
the various group meetings held during
the convention. Many phases of
the life of the editor of the college
publication and the myriad difficulties
that he encounters will be taken
up in these meetings. An effort is
being made by the officers to secure
the most representative speakers and
the ones who know what the college
editor is up against when he goes to
publish his paper.
Two meetings each day will be held,
one at Columbia College and the next
at the University. The delegates will
be given rooms in the two schools
and be the'guests of the two colleges.
Several innovations in the convention
program are being planned by the
officers and this year's convention will
be one of the best ever sponsored by
the association.
Officers of the association are: William
I. Latham, University, president;
Alice Holler, Columbia College, vicepresident;
Adeline Padgett, Columbia
College, corresponding secretary; LeRoy
Want, University, recording secretary;
and Lewis Wallace, University,
treasurer.

New Society
Head Speaks
Olariosophic President Gives
Inaugural Address Before
Literary Society
Stressing the fact that the literary
societies were on the threshold of
greater achievements and prominence
in student life, W. 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."

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." I

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. This game will have

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:
