Distribution C Fee To I __ Feb. 17 Is Date Set For Announcement; Funds Expected To Be Lower Due to the fact that a number of students are late registering and the student activities appropriations are thus constantly being added to, the treasurer has not been able to make a Sy final distribution of the fees. A final distribution will be made on the 17th, the last day of registration, and will be announced in the next issue of The Gamecock. The funds for the various activities will be somewhat lower than last semester from all present indications due to a loss in enrollment. However, /the decrease is not as much as had been expected. U. H. C. Noted Figures Visualize Head (CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO) and a failure ii too disastrous to the institution to permit the taking of any unnecessary risks. There is always a difficulty in getting a relatively young man who has been thoroughly tested. Likely candidates are frequently found in the presidencies of other institutions, or in deanships. Such positions have afforded the person opportunity to demonstrate his administrative ability. "The person chosen as president of a university should be a scholar in his own right, able to command the academic respect of even the most capable members of his faculty. He 'must at the same time have sound business judgment for the management of the finances of the institution, and must be able to retain the confidence of the members of the board of trustees in his handling of business affairs. He must be a man of poise, who makes a good public appearance and .is able to impress the general public favorably. "The qualifications for a successful president are so exacting that it is important that the search for a capable man be not limited to any one geographical area. A board of trustees should make absolutely certain that it has chosen the most capable man available anywhere at the salary and conditions of service offered before making a final election to the presidency." John L. M&nahan Doctor Manahan has been dean of the School of Education in the University of Virginia since 1920 and was formerly professor of the history of education in Miami University, as well as state high school inspector of Ohio. His answer is: "1. He should be a man of the highest character and integrity. "2. He should possess a sound, social, and religious philosophy. "3. He should be a good judge of character and teaching qualifications in others and be able to deal tactfully and effectively with men and women in all walks of life. "4. He should possess an attractive and winning personality that stimulates others to wish to follow his leadership. "5. He should possess broad cultural and professional training and be thoroughly familiar with modern trends in Educational Administration, not only in higher Education but in elementary and secondary as well. "6. He should be one who is able wisely to delegate authority and responsibility to his subordinate administrative officers in such a way as to get the desired results without friction. "7. He should have a wife fitted by training and general qualifications to assume a position of leadership commanding the highest respect among the women of the University community. "8. He should be a logical thinker, good public speaker, and a good business executive. "9. In the interest of a fairly long service in an institution, I would give preference to a man in his early forties and certainly would hesitate to choose a man who is much older than fortyfive. "You will at once note that my list ?f minimum qualifications is quite comprehensive and perhaps it will be quite difficult to find a man who possesses all of them. However, I believe there are men in the field of School Administration today who possess at least, in a reasonable degree, the majority of these qualifications." XJ. ?. o. He came home and, as they say in the movies, found his wife sewing a ,iny garment. "My dear, my dear," he said. "Don't be silly," she said. "This ? my new evening gown." f Ik . )f Activities Se Made Soon > _ I Labor Leader Protests Cuts Brookshire Opposes Proposed Reduction Of Salaries Of State Professors Opposition to salary cuts of professors at the University and other higher institutions of learning contained in the general State appropriation bill approved by the house of representatives was voiced in a statement by L. E. Brookshire of Greenville, president of the South Carolina Federation of Labor Monday morning. ? "The South Carolina Federation of Labor," his statement said, "is not against reasonable economy of gov-i I eminent, but we do oppose such radically extreme measures with regard to our educational institutions. We believe that if the present policies of the proposed supply bill are 'followed, the State's present ranking in illiteracy? that is, next to the top?would deserve to stand and should remain. . . . "In case of these drastic cuts, the better professors would more than likely leave to seek better jobs elsewhere. Less competent men will be brought in to fill their places, thus weakening institutions of this State and strengthening those of other states. "Graduates of South Carolina colleges would then have a hard time competing with graduates of schools in other states and would be ill fitted to take post graduate work in uuisersities of other states." League Holds Talk Record Operator Reminisces On Types Of Phone Calls Made By University Men "In the three years that I have been day operator at the switchboard I believe that Nigel League carried on the I longest conversation. He talked to a I lady-love for around an hour and a I half one day. That takes the record I and I don't believe it has ever been beaten." Mrs. Ruth Dugan, popular operator at the University branch exchange switchboard, laughed as she recalled the record hung up by the former student body member and went on to tell some of her experiences. She has been head operator ever since the exchange was put in on February 19, 1920. Before that time there were only two phones on the campus for the use of students, one located in tenement four and the other in Flinn Hall. "Telephone officials say that this is the busiest branch exchange in Columbia, more calls being handled daily I than any other in Columbia. Last year they checked up and found that over 9,800 calls went through in six I days, between 8:30 o clock in the morning and 9:110 o'clock at night. This year more business calls have come through daily than ever before, either business men calling students to give them work or to help them, or the students calling for work. ' Love conversations have dropped to second place." The inside life of the campus flows through the phone bureau, according to Mrs. Dugan. "One gets that part of collcge life that never rises to the surface but is there just the same. Few people realize what courtesy over the phone is but the boys have improved wonderfully. They used to carry on long conversations but they do not now. They seem to know that someone else may want the line." Four student operators work the night shift and the day relief shift. In his way uninterrupted phone service is maintained day and night on the campus. Students who are working at present are: Jake Godbold, Ellison Cone, Charlie Cox, William Humphries, and Fred Cook. Some students who have worked in the exchange in the past are: Sam Taylor, Jack Foster, Jim Dew, Louie Gunter, Benson Atkinson, Johnie Scott, Paul Wright, Bill LaI tham, and Lewis Wallace. RUSH WEEK Rush week for the fraternities will end with silent period at midnight Saturday, William P. DoneIan, president of Pan-Hellenic has announced. Bids from the various fraternities will be given at 6 o'clock Monday afternoon. 1 1 4 Chase Fixes Change Date Registration Ends 17th Registrar Announces That All Applications Not Acceptable After March 1 "Registration will not be concluded for the second semester until Friday February 17," announced Jobn A. Chase, Jr., registrar today. "Students who wish to change courses must bear in mind the fact that the same date is the last day on which these changes can be made." Students who did not apply for degrees during the first semester or transfers will have until March 1 to make application for degrees. No applications will be accepted after this date. K. S. K. Votes For "H. B." In Sidewalks Setting aside $25 for the purpose, Kappa Sigma Kappa last night instructed Dr. Havilah Babcock to place the initials "H. B." in the brick sidewalks being laid on the campus. This comes as recognition of the influence and work the English professor has exerted in putting across one of the most noteworthy and beneficial movements ever attempted by student, professor, or alumnus. The location of the letters has not been agreed upon yet, but it will probably be near one of the two terminals of the sidewalk system on Bull street. U. B. O.
