Frats Begi, Searc < Rushing .Begins Fraternities Already Entertaining With Smokers, Dances, And Informal Gatherings Confronted with the necessity of early rushing, fraternity men at the University began their search Monday afternoon at five o'clock over the campus and the city for prospective freshmen who have been recommended to them as "good fraternity material" and who might meet the standard set by their lodge. * The search will be carried on for two hectic weeks by the fraternities, one by the sororities, despite the certainty expressed by individuals that they have either decided with society they wish to join or they have no desire to become attached to anything that may prove a menace to their college career. Meanwhile, anxious rushers are attempting to bridge the widening gap of such unfavorable opinion. ' Already much entertainment has been prepared for the freshmen. The Alpha Tau Omegit entertained Thursday night at thhe fraternity house with .a smoker in honor of the rushees. Monday and Tuesday evening the Pi Kappa Alpha gave an ini formal dance at their house. Numer[ ous other fraternities have had informal gatherings at their houses, and will continue with the entertaining until the day bids are sent out. tCo-Ed Camp A Success Eighteen freshmen co-eds attended the Orientation camp sponsored by the University Y.

When election returns came in on August 30, just ten days after his twentyfirst birthday, it was found he had led the ticket by a large majority and was elected on the first ballot over five seasoned opponents. He is the youngest man ever to run for public office in Union county and is believed to be the youngest ever elected to the legislature. The platform on which Walker was elected included tax reform, evenhanded justice between capital and labor, the general betterment of the condition of the laboring man and lessening the state's demand upon the counties. His majority of votes in the mill villages was tremendous and he carried the wards in the city of Union. He contended he was not too young to serve in the legislature. The election of Walker as the youngest man ever to hold a legislative seat was taken by University students and alumni as a vindication at the polls of charges made by the Calhoun Times and other anti-university papers that college students were unfit to hold public office. In two counties in South Carolina University students led the ticket. Walker's list of achievements in both high school and college has been outstanding. He was editor-in-chief of Union High school paper and was last year elected by the University student body to edit the Garnet and Black for the coming year. n. m. a. ship," and Miss Emily Dick led the devontionals assisted by Miss Catherine Cummings.
