Wardlaw Goes Before Solons (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) against your teachers; second, that some way be devised to exercise economy without irreparably crippling the nerve centers of our educational system." Dr. Wardlaw explained that the salaries of professors had remained stationary when others were increased, the present proposed reduction in effect amounts to two or three decreases, and that it will make the salaries of full professors no greater than those paid to employees of the state with far less preparation and far less responsibility. "According to our information, no county or city in the state and no business house proposes a cut in salaries so great as the one that has been proposed for the teachers in your higher institutions, who have had a strugg e to meet the demands of a standard of living as inexorable as the laws of nature," Dr. Wardlaw said. He pointed out the danger of breaking up the institutions' personnel, and the lowering of the standards of the institution. "We have pleaded, not primarily for instructors and institutions but for the welfare of the whole people. "We have urged that our young people be not urged to inferior instruction. "We have asked that we may not be guilty of bad faith with our own boys and girls. We have begged that our graduates may walk on a footing ?f equality with those of any other st ate. "We have besought that you pro tect the fair name of South Carolina from shame." / 1, i n J5 u A 1 News nitiates f40 Years Personals Catherine Brownlee spent the weekend with her parents in Holly Hill.

O. ^French Club Has Regular Meeting Prof. 0. L. Keith Gives Interesting And Illustrative Description Of Paris Le Cercle Francis, the local French club, conducted its last meeting entirely in French at the home of Julia Aull on Pickens street last Thursday night, February 11. Professor Oscar L. Keith, head of the French department, gave an interesting description of Paris, illustrating his talk with pictures of the various places and locations of which he spoke. Under the direction of Lillian Stephens, the entire club learned a short French song, "Elle et it une bergere" ("She was a shepherdess"), and played several French word games. Refreshments were served later in the evening, and the meeting was closed with "La Marseillaise."

Wyoming Studes In Big Strikje! * Protest Professor's Dragging Girls From Parked Cars To Make Example In view of the fact that the Engineers' dance is now in the annals of history we feel that we can print a report of the strange feud raging at the University of Wyoming as a result of an engineering college dance there, without casting any undue reflections or influencing our local college in any way. The matter came to a head when 435 out of 500 students voted to go on strike and prevent the maintenance of classes when President A. G. I Crane refused to apologize for his actions in dragging girls from parked cars outside the dance hall and mak- I ing derogatory remarks as to their characters. The students hold that the president had no prerogative or authority to burst in oti personal matters, and firmly object to what they term as insults when he suggested that the occupants of the cars retire to a notorious district of vice in Laramie, the town seat of the University. The whole affair is unfortunate, we believe, because both the pi*esident and the students seem to be wrong as the students, in an attempt to support their actions are claiming virtue and exaggerated innocences. The remarks on the part of the president were decidedly indiscreet and untactful. The affair is receiving a great deal of publicity in the newspapers and a concentrated effort is being manifested by the business men and University representatives of Laramie, to get a more compatible relationship established once more. It will be interesting to note whether the president will have his way and revert the school back to mid-Vic- J torian days or if modern tradition will triumph and campus love affairs be followed to blossom as only such affairs do. At any rate, the engineers probably have the individed support of the other colleges in a matter of such universal importance it seems to our amatively inclined students. IT. 8. o.

This year work has fallen off, but a large number of the upperclassmen have work in town which is helping them finish college. The wide variety of jobs that arc taken by students range from tutoring, assistantships or typewriting themes, to planting lawns, hanging pic- , turcs, working in stores, delivering paper routes, helping in offices, ushering in theatres, and other tasks.

Other schools and institutions of higher education throughout the United States have not fared as well as Carolina. Enrollment at some of these have dropped off to an alarming extent and it was feared that Carolina would suffer in the same way. Such is not the case as the recent figures show. U.

Dave Carroll And John Norwood Are Hosts At Unqiue Party For Law Students A most successful imitation of a Harvard Sunday afternoon tea was the function given on St. Valentine's afternoon by Dave Carroll and John Norwood, and attended by members of the Carolina Law school and their dates. The hosts had just moved into their new residence at 1714 College street and took this opportunity of having their "house-warming." The crowd came early and stayed late, being highly entertained by the efforts of Mr. Norwood to balance a tea-cup on his knee in the approved Harvard fashion. (And John is quite an artist at performing such feats.) After much tea had been drunk and many bon mots passed, the group dissembled with praises for "deah ole Harvard" and memories of a charming afternoon. U. ft. O.
