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.

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."

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

announced. Bids from the various

"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
