TUITION BLANKS
"YVc are anxious for the students
to get their free tuition blanks as soon
as possible because the sooner they
are received at the Tax Commission
office the sooner they will be acted on
and the student will then know
whether or not they will get free
tuition next year", Frank T. Welbourne,
treasurer, said today in commenting
on the fact that not many
students have made application for
free tuition for next year as yet. Application
blanks may be secured at
the treasurer's office.
EX-POLITICAL FARTERNITY
The latest fraternity on the
campus, Tau Tau Alpha Rho, held
formal installation proceedings last
week and initiated no less than
thirty odd new men. The organization,
composed of those can- j
didates who also ran in recent
political affairs, was felt to be imperative
at this time when each
day the number of political casualties
increase ten fold.
MEASLES
One can imagine the surprises of
members of The Gamecock staff when
they beheld the following sign on the
door of the editor's former private
sanctum: Measles! This house is
quarantined, by order of city board
of health. It is believed that the sign
was the work of some childish brain,
but all the same The Gamecok would
like to clear up the impression that
the staff is under quarantine.

His Choice Spells Death To Hopes
Of Farmers And Taxpayers
League To Gain Control
"In the presidential election years
of 1920, 1024 and 1928," he said, the
Republican party pledged the people
of this country a continuation of prosperity
and the maintenance of the
American standard of living. Today
we have more broken banks, more idle
industrial plants, lower prices for agricultural
products, more unemployment
and longer bread lines than have been
known since the dawn of the 20th
century.
"In those same years, the Republican
party promised increased respect
for law and its strict enforcement.
Today we have less respcct for law
than has ever been known, and organized
rackets, designed to circumvent
the law and to enrich their organizers
at the expense of society, have grown
prosperous and arrogant.

Donation Is

By N.Y. Board
$8,000 Sum Granted
General Education Board Gives
Money For Teachers' Training
School
Prospects for opening the tcachcrs
training school next September in the
new Education building have grown
brighter since the announcement Sunday
morning by Dr. L. T. Baker, acting
president, that the general education
board of New York City had donated
$8,000 to aid in its operation
during the next two years.
Hope for opening the training
school practically faded at the close
of the past legislative session when the
general assembly failed to make an
appropriation with which to operate
it. The general education board donated
$150,000 toward the construction
of the building, now Wardlaw college,
on the condition that the University
nigtch the sum with another $150,000.
The structure was completed several
months ago, the University raising its
quota of the necessary $300,000 from
fees collected from students and such
reserve it had on hand, without receiving
appropriation from the legislature
for this purpose.
Dr. Orin F. Crow, dean of the
school of education, said that word
that the gift was being made to the
I niversity brought much relief to the I
officials who had looked forward and /
contributed their efforts toward the
opening of the school. He said that I
no plans had been made as to the I
size of the school or otherwise, but I
that they would be worked out in the I
near future.
Dean Crow said that receipt of the I
gifts would not bring about any I
change in the plans of Prof. Guy H. I
Hill, teacher of education at the Uni-B
versity, who was to become principal!
of the training school in September,
but who announced recently that hefl
had resigned to accept a position asH"
teacher in a North Carolina college.
The general education board is sup-fl
