AIl <! "v Many Alumni Homecom i Dr. L./T. Baker Speaks: Judge Marion And Several Students Introduced Large numbers of alumni of the University of South Carolina, representing many graduating classes N gathered for the annual homecoming luncheon in the ballroom of the Hotel Columbia noon Saturday. Simplicity and brevity marked the occasion which ' was called as a get-together for former students rather than for the consideration of business matters or the making of long speeches. George Bell Timmerman, alumni president, presided and gave a few welcoming Remarks. The program consisted of an address by Dr. L. T. Baker, president; the introduction of Judge J. H. Marion, the principal speaker at the 125th anniversary celebration of the Clariosophic 5nd Euphradian literary societies; and the introduction of several students, including Troy Stokes, president of the student body; Lewis H. Wallace, editor of The Gamecock; John A. Giles, managing editor of The Gamecock and business manager of The Carolinian; and W. C. Herbert and Car* lisle Roberts, presidents of the Clariosophic and Euphradian literary societies, respectively. The luncheon was one of the highlights of the home-coming day.

Thous declared Dr. L. T. Baker, president of the University of South Carolina, in his address at the annual homecoming luncheon of the alumni association, helt^ Saturday in the ball room of the Hotel Columbia. i As for the material side, new buildings, increase in students, and other things, the University was not making much progress as compared with sister state institutions, he avowed. But it is the atmosphere of the University of which we may continue to be proud. "The University is the one institution in South Carolina that gives opportunity to men and women of every walk of life, the sons of the rich and the sons and daughters of the poor," Dr. Baker said. "No matter, how poor the family or its antecedents, they find at the University the opportunity to build themselves up and to equip themselves for service. "The University may be proud to say that, while we have no large endowment, no great modern buildings, and only a meagre appropriation to live on, yet we have equipment in men 1 State 13 Here are Billy Laval's Bir Jj Left to right, standing: H as Nolan Moore Raby, Macon, G v\ Clary, Gaffney; Bill Kester, C< 2} Kneeling: Dick Shinn, At] Meers, Waco, Texas; Buddy !

' Another University student, Wilbur Wertz, Jr., is technical director of the theatre and will design and construct sets for "Hay Fever" and all other productions of the organization this year. Several University students arc assisting in the technical side of the production. Among them are Francis Letton^ Herman Dorn, Richard Arlington, and Frank Durham, who is also editing the News sheet published by the Town Theatre. who are loyal to their calling, loyal to their state, and who have the highest preparation for the duty of education. I believe that the faculty of the University is second to none of the numerous universities that I know. I have feared that because of salary reductions, many of our faculty members would go elsewhere where they were offered more money. It is a tribute to their loyalty to the Institution, a tribute to the character also of the institution, that not even one of them has even indicated any intention to do so." Dr. Baker added that the University is keeping up witji' the great forward movement started under Dr. Melton and carried on under Dr. Douglas. v. b. o.

The number of students who were on the campus in those hectic days is now rapidly decreasing and experiences of the storied days are becoming unknown. "That first week of school my rat year? You're darn tootin' I remember itl Why?it started raining late Monday afternoon and then the big Florida hurricane blew into Columbia and howl" exclaimed one student, who was one of the members of that first year class. "I'll bet there wasn't a greener, dumber rat on the whole campus that year than I was," states another, who is now a dignified senior. "It was the first time I had ever had any experience with a Florida blow and believe me?it had me jumping!" Freshman Orientation Camp that year had been called off, due to a wind blowing down the tents erected for that purpose. The freshmen were told to report on Monday, to get their rooms ready, take the physical exam, and get set for registration. The fateful afternoon of September 15, 1928 came and with it brought many green and uninformed "rats" to the Carolina greensward. They poured into the campus from all gates and took cautious looks at their surroundings. Many with grave misgivings, for already dark clouds were obscuring the blue of the Palmetto skies and a wild wind was whistling through the great oaks that stood gracefully over the main campus. About five-thirty Monday afternoon it began to rain.

Awful' ' | [n Frosh Year an hour wind blowing over the town and it was a proposition to turn a corner on the main drag. Slickers and raincoats were mere playthings in the hands of a frisky high wind and dresses and skirts were blown up and down and then up again. The rain was falling in spurts, driven like hail before the high wind. A large tree in front of the president's office was down. The campus was littered with debris and fallen limbs. Half a tree fell across the doorway of Tenement 1. A tough limb was thrust into the upper story room of the house where Dr. Moore lay dead. The crepe on the door was a sodden mass. The main campus did'not have the driveway lights but a string up the center, all of which were out. Only the football squad and the rats held sway on the campus. Very few upperclassmen had arrived. And the rats had their brief day. The "Shoot-em-up" show, -where the Boy's Shop is now, was the only picture house in town running, that Monday night. It was filled with cheering freshmen, who disregarded an overabundance of that now rare thing? Carolina Spirit! They ruled Main street that night, for the towns people had sense enough to stay indoors. The cafeteria was not open, and a vast number of students ate their first Columbia meal in the Post Office lunch. The rain continued. Physical exams were taken wbile it poured outside. Registration was delayed several days. Rat' caps had not arrived on the campus and how the new boys did display their high school learning! The hurricane passed and the city and campus began to clear away the wreckage. Upperclassmen came in from over the state and all too soon books and classes were the order of the day. \pions 1 ssed up in their work clothes. -Jnj Marion; Tom Craig, Central; Rr ghan, Montezuma, Ga.; Earl Vft ck field coach. /J iryant Adair, Columbia; Dave ob Robbins, Cornelius, N.
