All, < i Bill Introduced For New Board golons Advocate Increase Of Thirty-Nine To Board Of Trustees Of University Reorganization of the Board of Trustees of the University to increase it from 11 members to 50 and give each county a trustee has been proposed in a House Bill introduced by Representatives Allen Lambright and Claude A. Taylor of Spartanburg, both University graduates. The Bill provides an executive committee of five to be elected by the board in general. The executive committee would "meet at the call of the president (pro tem) and perform such duties as may be assigned them." Four ex-officio members of the board would be the governor, superin! tendent of education, and chairman of the committees on education of the two houses, as at present. The remaining 46 would consist of one man from each county in the state, appointed by the governor upon recommendation of a majority of the legislative delegation. D. 8. O.

Now at Dartmouth?" Two students from the University of New_ Hampshire and Dartmouth College in the same state, dropped in to pay Carolina a visit. Gathered in by Dr. Havilah Babcock, in front of the Library Tuesday night, they attended several of his classes the following morning and exchanged comments on the difference in college life and atmosphere in the North and the South. John Hancock, no relative of the famous singer of Worchester, Mass., and a student at Dartmouth; and J. J. Ennis of New York City and a student at the University of New Hampshire, were the two Northerners. In a conversation with various members of the student body the fact came out that they had visited a number of colleges throughout the East and wished to add Carolina to the long list. A stroll over the campus, including the names and a short history of campus buildings, and introductions to several student body members completed their education. Their attention was attracted to the new brick walks. "Yes, Prof. (Babcock) told us what you were up against in getting money. In New Hampshire the state college gets one mill of every dollar of taxes collected. In the winter the walks are too deeply covered with snow and special wooden raft walks arc used. If a fellow meets a class turning out, he has to wait until they have filed past before he can stir. The rafts are all one way." "You all? Yes, we are getting used to that by now," laughed the two. "At first it seemed a little strange but now we hear it so often that we never notice. That's an interesting class we just attended under Prof.?he brought out some new things on life in the South and about negroes." College men cha# with other college men. A hour drifted past, then handshakes, and the parting came. But the Carolina men know their Dartmouth and U. N. H. some better and the same is true for the others. Birds Split With Tigers Gamecocks Come Back To Win Second After Dropping First Game Saturday Carolina came back strong in the second encounter with Clemson in the Tiger stronghold Saturday night and won 24-22 after dropping the first game there 31-22 the night before. Roy Powell shot the winning basket for Carolina in the second game after the Birds had overcome a five-point Clemson lead in the second half. The Birds played up-hill ball to win the game. Powell was also high scorer for the Gamecocks with eight points. The Tigers completely outclassed the Birds in the first game, holding Carolina scoreless for the first fifteen minutes of play and leading 15-3 at the half. The Birds came back in the second stanza but could not overcome the margin that the Clemson five had piled up. * The split in the two games gives Carolina an even break with the Tigers this season, having won one and lost one before in two games at Columbia. Grayson Wolf was high scorer in the first game with eight points. v> ? o. i Subs: Frosh. i Evans (7) ' F Sizemore (2) I Sallenger (2) F Whitaker (0) Brown (0) C Levy (0) Mauney (0) G Taylor (0) G _ -If.

Group Warned Of Tournament Intra-Mural Teams Advised To Begin Practice As Soon As Possible By Crawford All fraternities and tenements who comtemplate entering teams in the basketball tournament should begin practice immediately, warns Mr. Crawford. The tournament begins about March 1st and continues until the winner is selected. The winning team will Tic given a cup, and each member of the team an individual gold medal. Eligibility rules are the same as heretofore, no one being allowed to play who has been on the varsity squad. Mr. Crawford, who is in charge of the tournament, wishes it to be absolutely clear that a team is not eliminated when it is defeated. The object of the tournament is to provide those University students who arc not good enough, or who do not have the time to join the varsity squad, yet like to play basketball, a chance to play in officiated games. Therefore, each team plays a schedule of games, the winner being selected on a percentage basis. These tournaments have been held for several years. Many varsity men have been recruited from them, including several present members. u. s. a Baruch Sends Student Books Bernard M. Baruch of New York City recently sent some very important books to Jim Galloway for his use after which they are to be presented to the University Library with the fcompliinents of the well-known alumnus and financier.

Clarkson." With an inscription recognizing the donor, the volumes will be presented to the library within the next few days. tt. a. o. "What do you know about cribbage?"

I 1 MEOOOK ' AlumnusStarts Weekly Paper Sheet Is Independent New Paper To Invade Ancient Republican Stronghold In West Virginia An alumnus of the University's School of Journalism, one of*thc very I few to receive the M. A. degree from that school, has refused to be daunted I by hard times. He has established an ambitious weekly newspaper, in addition to teaching full-time, and is making good with it. W. L. T. Crocker, formerly of NewI berry, accepted a professorship in journalism at a state college in Montgomery, W. Va., immediately after finishing the University. Just after the Christmas holidays of this year, he established an independent weekly in that city, to compete with the old I Republican sheet already there. Within the first three weeks of publication the paper gained a paid circulation of 3100. Men whom he trained in school, do most of the work I for Mr. Crocker. The paper is adding a four-page color supplement this month, one of the comparatively few weeklies to undertake this. The advertising contracts are made on a yearly basis, promising a nice profit and progressive possibilities for the paper. Ropp To Talk On Prohibition Nationally-Known Defender Of Prohibition Will Speak Saturday Night Here Robert C. Ropp, nationally known Prohibition speaker, will address the young people of Columbia Saturday night at 6 o'clock at a banquet at the Rose Mary Tea Room. The address will be made on Prohibition. Mr. Ropp has a national reputation as a speaker. He is Chairman of the Allied Youth and has been intimately connected with the defence of Prohibition for years. He has the reputation of not being dogmatic but of beI ing fearlessly in favor of his cause. All young people of Columbia are I cordially invited to attend. Accord1 ing to Carlisle Roberts, who is in I charge of arrangements on the campus, I there will be no attempt "to ram ideas I down anyone's throat" but a frank and open discussion will be held. All those interested in attending should get in touch with Mr. Roberts. LHeels Down S. C. Fencers North Carolina Defeats Gamecocks At Chapel Hill By Score Of 6 To 3 A new sport was added to the University athletic program Tuesday night, as the Gamecock fencing team held the experienced University of North Carolina fencers to a 6 to 3 decision. The meet was held in the "Tin Can" at Chapel Hill, before about 100 spectators. The team deserves credit for this degree of success, considering that they have no coach, and that no member had ever fought before. W. R. Bolt is manager of the team. For South Carolina William Richardson, Ernest Willis, and W. J. Valentine each fought three matches, winning one each. For North Carolina Litten, Egan, Weener, Molasky, and Rice each fought one match; Bolton and Stanley fought two each. Wardlaw, N. C., was director of the meet. u. s. o. Marriages LEGARE?SAMS Friends of Thomas C. Legare of Charleston, a graduate of the School of Engineering, will be pleased to know of the announcement of his engagement to Estelle Stock Sams of Mount Pleasant. After finishing at the University, Legare took two years of post-graduate work at Schenectady, N. Y., and I for the past two years has been conI nected with a power company in I Charleston. OWENS?DUBOSE The friends of James G. Owens of Orangeburg will be pleased to learn I of his marriage to Elizabeth DuBose of Atlanta. Mr. Owens graduated from the UniI versity with the degree of M. A. after I graduating from the Citadel. I Faculty Memh U. S. Stai Consensus of opinion among members of the University faculty who have been connected with the army in peace time or during the World War, is to the effect that the United States should maintain a neutral position relative to the Sino-Japanese situation, it was revealed yesterday by a Gamecock reporter gathering statements while strolling aimlessly over the campus. Dr. Francis Bradley, dean and formerly a major in the American Expeditionary Forces during the World War, stated: "Before we pass judgement upon the justice or injustice of the cause of any nation, let us get all the facts before us. Let us be sure that we are not just looking at one side of question which has many sides. Our nation had one inglorious adventure in one-sided thinking durint? the World War." Professor Charles F. Mercer, of the physics department, stated: "I would rather see the millionaires in China bankrupt than see any of our American boys lose their lives in armed conflict. Professor Mercer was connected with the A. E. F. during the World War. Dr. R. K.

Out Of China stated that lie felt that the United States had no place in the Sino-Japanese situation and only for the protection of American lives should we enter. Barney Early, alumni secretary and with the A. E. F. during the last war, stated: "I do not think Americans should become unduly excited over the Sino-Japanese situation. It is largely a commercial argument between China and Japan and unless there is some gross violation of our treaties or American lives are wilfully destroyed we should maintain a neutral position." Dr. Reed Smith, dean of the graduate school, stated that although his sympathies were with China, and apparently the sympathies of the majority of the American people were with the Chinese, he did not see why we should take undue interest in the situation unless American lives wpre destroyed. Dr. L. T. Baker, acting president of the University, stated: "We do not know enough of the details to arrive at a conclusion of the merits of the Japanese of the Chinese contentions. I believe that Japan has some justification in maintaining her treaty rights and that her offensive operations might be taken in face of the boycott as a war of self-preservation." e Clothes id $28.50 8?Ask to See Them COMPANY n Street \?JEWELRY?CLOCKS WARE Columbia, S.
