New Editor
Of Magazine
Riley Is Art Editor
Helen Staples Ends Successful
Term As Editor; Wins First
* Prize
A former editor of The Gamccock,
LeRoy M. Want of Darlington, was
I 'elccted to the editorship of The Carolinian
by the student board of publications.
He succeeds Helen Staples
of Fort Humphries, Va., and takes
office after the January number of the
magazine has been issued.
Anderson Riley of Columbia, forin,
crly art editor of the Garnet and
Black was named to succeed himself
as art editor for the 'magazine. Other
assistant editors elected last semester
will serve for the entire year.
Want is one of the,, few students to
edit two of the campus publications
and possibly the first to head The
Gamecock staff during his junior year.
He is a former president of Sigma
Delta Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity,
and of the Euphradian Literary
society. H2 is also a member of
Plii Kpsilon Pi and Omicron Delta
Kappa fraternities.
Mr. Riley is a member of the Euphradian
Literary society and of
Alpha Beta. He has taken part in
practically all art groups on the
campus.
The remainder of the staff is as
follows: Business manager, John A.
Giles; associate editors, Mary Begg
Ligon, J. H. Galloway, Ralph Derrick,
and Frank Durham; assistant art editors,
L. B. Marsh, R. H. McLane,
Bland Hammond, Marion Emerson,
and Carolyn Hodges. G. T. Daniel,
Willard Simpson, J. W. Brown, Wilbur
Jones, and L. C. Grant are on the
advertising and circulation staffs.
One or two associate editorships,
left vacant by the recent elections, will
probably be filled in the neztr future.
'1 he Carolinian has just finished
what is generally accorded to be one
of the most successful years in its
history. Under the editorship of Miss
Staples, it wasfselectcd by the South
Carolina College Press Association as
the best magazine in the state during
1930-\'$l. Mitchell Morse, writing in
its columns, won the award for the
best essay published in the state college
magazines during the year.
Means Wins (
Contest J
1 he Euphradian oratorical contest
Tuesday night was won by David
Means, who spoke on "The Nations
Lite Insurance."
raking the stand that the best way
to prevent war is to prepare for it,
Means stated "Gentlemen, all good is
founded on force; all justice is
founded on force. An aggressive war
is indefensible, but we should arm for
self-defense."
He went on to describe the causes
that other nations have for ill-will
against the United States and to cite
the failure of present peace machinery.
Woe be unto the conquered" was
the theme of his arguments and
Might makes right" was the basis
of his arguments. He closed with an
eloquent plea for more adequate national
defence.
Others in the contest were Chaffee
Croft and Robert Dubose. Croft
8Poke on "Unemployment Insurance"
Dubose on "The Eighteenth
Amendment."
Judges for the contest were Rev.
L. Mullikin, of the Washington
j rect Methodist Church, Mr. Charles
Lockwood, superintendent of *. the
ynipia High School, and Gary
aschal, Columbia attorney. The decision
of the judges was unanimous
0r the winner.

Fail To Enter
Block C Club
Stars Refuse Initiation
Sophomores Decline To Undergo
Strenous Ordeal; No Action
Taken Yet
Several sophomore members, of the
Carolina varsity football team, who
earned their letters last fall, refused
to be initiated into tile Block C Club
last Tuesday night, according to authoritative
resources. The club held
a meeting that night for the purpose
of initiating new members, and only
Charlie Bushaw, cheerleader, attended
and was taken into the organization.
According to the president, definite
action has not been taken yet, pending
a thorough investigation of the
clubs' constitution and by-laws.
Whether or not the players who refused
the initiation will be allowed to
wear gold footballs will also be
threshed out in the near future. For
the first time in several years, footballs
were presented to those who
earned the varsity letter in the sport.
The Block C Club, whose membership
is composed of leading athletes
on the campus, is one of the outstanding
and most influential organizations
on the campus. Between 00
and 70 men on the campus comprise
its constituency.

Faculty Reduces
Semester Hours
Required Credits For Graduation
Changed From 127 To 124
At Faculty Meeting
The number of semester hours of
work required for graduation was reduced
from 127 to 124 at a faculty
meeting January 0. The faculty has
not yet decided when the change will
go into effect.
The principal reason for the change,
Dean Baker said, was the difficulty
of arranging science courses which
carry four credits per semester. As
most courses carry only three courses
per semester, students find it hard to
fit science courses into their schedules,
and in many cases arc forced to take
courses they do not want or need.
Since 124 is a multiple of four as
well as of three, this difficulty will be
eliminated.
The standard number of hours .required
by the American Association
of Colleges and Universities is 120,
so the changc will not affect the University's
standing, said Dean Baker.
The extra four points are for physical
education.

Pan-Hellenic Takes Action To Reduce
Price Of Fraternity
Pictures
Fraternity pictures in the Garnet
and Black will only cost $20 if the
action of the men's Pan-Hellenic
council, taken at their meeting Monday,
is upheld.
The girl's Pan-Hellenic, at a meeting
before Christmas, agreed to support
any action of the men's PanHellenic.
However, it is understood
that all sororities, with the exception
of two, had already paid the full price
1 before this action was taken.
When questioned what would be
the stand of the Garnet and Black on
the matter, J. C. DuPre, business manager,
declared that due to financial
reasons the price would not be reduced.
The regular price is $30 a
page. He further stated that unless
fraternities and sororities paid for their
page by February first, they would be
left out, much to the regret of the
Garnet and Black.
