D. K. Races K. S. K. Babcock And Herbert Direct Workers On North And South Of Quadrangle Brick-laying was initiated into full sway on the campus Monday at four o'clock when Acting President L. T. Baker laid the first brick at that sector of the paving plans in front of Dean George Olson'sT home. Hardly had the University head stepped back after laying the brick when students began placing bricks in an approved pattern for the two eight-foot walks which are to be parallel on Main campus from Sumter to Bull streets. For the first time in the histofy of the institution, students rolled up their sleeves and worked toward a common end to do something for their Alma Mater. The law student, the journalism senior, the freshman pre-med, with the inspiration of enthused coeds in the background, all were out to see the movement go over with success. Spectators were* soon Recruited to the scene of labor from the passersby 011 Sumter street. Encouraging comments from these increased the already high spirit dominating the beelike activity of the amateur bricklayers. On their way to classes, students checked themselves long enough to lay a few bricks, while many wanted to cut in order to aid with the work. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the move is the race which is to be held between the O. D. K. bricklayers on the south side of the quadrangle of main campus and K. S. K. brickmasons on the north side in an effort to reach Bull street first. While each squad is under the direction of either Dr. Havilah Babcock of O. D. K. or \V. C. Herbert of K. S. K., workers are being recruited from the student body in general. Excused from Classes Students who worked on the project from eight o'clock this morning throughout the day were excused from classes through the courtesy of Acting President h. T. Baker. It was first planned to begin the main part of tlie work at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, but due to the Douglas memorial exercises actual laying of (CONTINUED ON I'AOE EIGHT) Broughton Co; Manslat Freshmen Elect Two To Honor Committee Eliza McNulty and Jack Payne were chosen to represent the freshman class on the honor committee* at a meetii held recently for that purpose.

Council Meets Here Has Sevenfold Project David R. Coker, Alumnus Of Hartsville, Is President Of Organization The South Carolina council, an organization of leading business and educational men from over the state, will hold a meeting at the University chapel, Tuesday December 8 at 11 o'clock. David R. Coker, of Hartsville, is president of the council, and is directing this group in its work of advancing South Carolina to the place it should occupy as a leader in business and education. ,. The council has adopted a sevenfold program to carry out, embracing the agricultural, educational, governm e n t a 1, industrial, transportation, health, and publicity interests of the state at large. Reports from the various committees on these activities have been prepared and- sent out to members of the council. Dr. Wardlaw, of the University faculty, is in charge of the Educational work on the program. Professor Sam Derrick, connected with the school of commerce, is an advisor to the committee on county government. "The committees have made very thorough and careful studies of the work and problems in their fields, and will present very complete reports to the council," said Acting President L. T. Baker, in speaking of the meeting. "The council was organized last February at the University and is doing a great work for South Carolina." According to officials, this meeting is planned to be one of the most successful ever held since its organization some time ago. MORSE MAKES ADDRESS Dr. Josiah Morse of the department of psychology of the University will be the speaker at the last of the personal adjustment series being run by the University Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. during the month of November. Dr. Morse will speak on the subject of International adjustments. Dr. Morse has long been interested in the whole subject of racial and international relationships, having been a pioneer in the field of racial relationships in the South. The. University student body recognizes him as one of the most interesting speakers on the faculty. nvicted Of ighter In Trial ^Sentence To Be Passed University Senior Convicted For Shooting Freshman Milledge Bonham v The pleadings of three defense attorneys, members of the firm of Keels, Godshall, and Moss, couldn't save W. C. Broughton, University senior of Sumter, from a conviction of manslaughter. The state was represented by Frank Eatmon and Pat Nelson, asking for the death penalty. Sentence was deferred until a later date. It was only a "fake" murder, staged under the auspices of Phi Delta Phi, legal fraternity, for the purpose of I supplying "moot" court with a realistic case, but the casual observer would have believed that a man was actually on trial for his life. Presided over by "Judge" Ben Hodges, the trial was conducted under -court conditions. Broughton was indicted for the fatal shooting of M. L. Bonham, University freshfnan of Greenville, in a pistol duel several weeks ago. Ill feeling had existed between the two for some time, as the result of Broughton's efforts to make the freshman wear his "rat" cap.

Service H Honor C Students Hear Noted Speaker Judge Glenn Speaks Noted Federal Judge Talks Informally On Federal Law In Abney Library Last Night Judge J. Lyles Glenn of Chester addressed law students and members of the student body at 8:15 o'clock last night in the Abney law library. He spoke informally, showing why students of law should pay particular attention to federal procedure and advising them on rules and formalities involved. "A judge has a bent of mind and however honest he may lie, his bent of mind is bound to influence him," the noted jurist emphasized. A brief resume was given of the laws governing federal jurisdiction, examples and reading of excerpts from typical cases being furnished along with the remarks. "A man owes it to his State to stay within his State as a leader, but in past years the South has been furnishing many leaders for other states." In order to attend the talk, the two men's literary societies recessed immediately upon convening, going over to the law building in two bodies. The library, where the address was made, was filled by these as well as the law students and other interested persons. Judge Glenn, a federal judge, is one of the most noted Southern jurists. He is considered authority on law. Patrick H. Nelson, president of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity, presided. The law fraternity is sponsoring talks by various prominent men in legal circles in an effort to acquaint the students of law with different points of law viewed by these men. FEW DRUNKS SEEN AT GAME Perhaps it was due to the depression that there were fewer drunks than usual at the North Carolina State game. The most conspicuous one was seen walking across the campus during the usual-traffic jam a short time after the final pistol shot, yelling for Carolina, maybe meaning both teams. Plenty of policemen were in full sight of the would-be fence climbers. Several on the outside were ambitious enough to try hopping over during the few seconds that a watcher's back was turned.

M. Douglas held in the University chapel yesterday, tributes to the late president were offered by representatives of the student body, the faculty, the board of trustees, and alumni association. Dr. Douglas was praised both as a man and as a president and the universial esteem of all who knew him was voiced by each speaker. Dr. Reed Smith spoke for the faculty, John Bolt Culbertson for the student body, George Bell Timmerman for the alumni association, and D. R. Coker for the board of trustees. The student speaker characterized the late president with these words: To our lost leader I offer one final tribute; it was his delight to serve his God by serving his fellowmen He was both human and humane." He went on to tell of Dr. Douglas's difficulties and his successes. "When Dr. > Davidson McDowell Douglas assumed the presidency of the University of South Carolina, he entered, I believe, the most trying period of his career. He found himself pro-ejected intOuA swirl of -unfortunate factors whi<*h only heroic restraint and unimpeachable delicacy could weld into solidarity." Dr. Smith also dwelt upon the love all held for the late president and lauded his accomplishments in the face of great difficulties. "Dr. Douglas's term of office was very brief? only four and one-half years, just a semester longer than the stay of a college class, from freshman through the senior year. In that short time, however, his achievements were so numerous and so varied that there is time here to name only a few of them." The exercises were attended by a large number of the student body as well as the faculty and many of Dr. Douglas's close friends and relatives. Representatives from various schools and educational associations were also present. Senior members of the faculty sat upon the rostrum and a special section was reserved for other faculty members and visitors. (C0NT1NUKI) ON PAOg FIVE) ' e Elected Kappa Gamma : Semi-Annual K. S. K.
