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

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.

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.

Late Leader
Given Tribute Many
Visitors Attend
Representatives Of Trustees,
Faculty, Alumni, And Student
Body Speak
At the memorial service for the Jate
Dr. D. 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.
