About four hundred Frosh and a large number of uppcrclassmcn were present.

Texas Stars May / Not Come Back Although the report remained unverified, it is believed the Tompkins brothers and Dana Henderson, members of the great Carolina freshman basketball team of last year, will not return to school. It was originally reported the 1931 frosh cage stars, who arc from Athens, Texas, planned to matriculate at Texas Tech this year. Arrangements were thought to have been made which would pave the way for the Tcxans to return to the University.' Thoy indicated they were returning to Columbia some ten days ago, but as yet have not arrived. Members of the football team who are from Texa9 believe the Tompkins boys and Henderson have gone to Texas Tech. cocks ] looper English Keeps Chapel Roster Roster Kept To Insure No Conflict In Use Of Chapel By Students Students who wish to get reservations for use of the chapel should speak to Miss English, secretary of the President, who keeps a roster for the purpose of avoiding any conflict in the use of the chapel, Dr. Francis W. Bradley, dean of the University, announced yesterday. Dr. Bradley was high in his praise of the freshman class. "From all reports, they are a good, earnest, hardworking group", he said. "They are serious about their work and I am convinced we aren't going to have so much failure." Up through Wednesday no withdrawals had occurred, Dr. Bradley said. One student withdrew but later reconsidered and matriculated. , v. s. o. . Sullivan Award Given Students Leroy Want and Sarah Cassels, students, and Mr. Frank Withers, prominatc University alumnus, were last spring awarded the Algernon Sidney Sullivan award. This award is made every year to one male and one female senior and one prominate /alumnus who in the minds of the faculty have done most to live up to the ideals of the late Mr. Sullivan. This award is made under the auspices of the New York Southern society. Want was extremely active in campus affairs having edited both the Gamecock and the Carolinian and having been president of the Euphfadian Literary Society. He was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership fraternity, and PhrEpsilon Pi, national social fraternity. He is a resident of Darlington.

S. K. and O. D. K., university students will have the opportunity of hearing a ' play-by-play broadcast of the Carolina-Villanova game in the chapcl tomorrow afternoon.

Or so it seems from a letter recently received by Dr. R. K. Foster, director of student activities. According to the letter College Humor, well known collegiate magazine, plans in an early issue to inroduce an interesting innovation. They I will use a portrait of a beautiful co-ed in color on the front cover, with .her I name and university prominently dis- I played. The letter requests that photographs I of girls here who have won school beauty contests be sent to the editors of the magazine for consideration in I this connection. Photographs of other outstanding girls on the campus are also desired. The letter stated that those not used on the covers might be included in the College Hall of Fame, which has for some time been an outstand- I ing feature of College Humor. The letter has been turned over to the editor of the Gamecock and it is expected that a reply to the request will be made immediately, although it is not yet known what co-ed will be so honored. Y. W. C. A/To Begin Work This Week A week of activities for all women students at the University will begin Tuesday, October 4, under the direction of the Y. W. C. A.

In Engineering Must Have Five Years Experience One of the more important changes made in the operation of the University this year is the placing of students doing additional work in the school of engineering under the general jurisdiction of the officials of the graduate school. Formerly in the engineering school E., C. E.f and Chem. E), degrees I were given after the B. S. degree was obtained. This will no longer be the case. Instead the degrees offered will be M. S. in any of these three branches. In addition to the academic work I of one year, five years of practical experience will be required before the conferring of an M. S. degree. These changes were made at the suggestion of the faculty of the engineering school and were approved by the general faculty of the University last spring. These changes are in accordance with the practices of all of the larger colleges and universities today. The only practical change which makes in the work of those seeking additional degrees in engineering is the graduate school requirement that all candidates for graduate degrees have a speaking knowledge of at least one modern foreign language. U. 8. O.. Carolina I To-day PRESIDENTS Three former presidents of the Student Body were on the campus last week. Drufus Griffin, president .192829, who is entering the Law School; Yates Williams, 1930-31 who came up from Orangeburg to lend a hand in the Treasurer's office; and Troy Stokes, president last year and now a junior in the Law School. Perhaps they got together and formed a "Former Presidents Club?" We wonder who was elected president of the club. MORE LIGHT And speaking of extra lights and drop-lights in your room, Dr. Gadsen C. Zimmerman, '12, of Columbia, was telling us of his friend Ed. H. Carpenter, who had nine lights in his room in DeSaussure. He had two lights on each side and one in the middle.

Late Registration Still In Process A number of students were still in the process of registering at the office of the Registrar today, as the office closed with the number of students already registered somewhat in advance of the figure for this day last year.

'if turday Hard Fight Now Looms Gamecocks Entrain Thursday For Intersectional Tilt With Wildcats Betting Odds Are Even Laval Shifts Line-up To Bolster Weak Ends; Birds Heavier Than Foes South Carolina s band of gridiron warriors left yesterday for Philadelphia to play their only intersectional game of the season against the Wildcats of Villanova College. Both teams have played one game this season, Villanova crushing Ursinus, 26-2, and the Gamecocks barely nosing out Sewanee, 7-3, Coach Billy Laval carried three complete teams with him and Manager Bihari. The Birds will take a light limbering up this afternoon and rest tonight for tomorrow's game. The starting line-ups, given out today, show that the Birds have an average weight of 188 to 173 for the Wildcats, a weight advantage of practically 15 pounds per man. However, the Pennsylvania team is said to be one of the fastest light teams in the north and betting odds scarcely favor the South Carolina eleven. Laval has been shifting his line positions a great deal in order to strengthen his weak end posts. It is on these new changes including Tom Craig at left-end that Laval is placing his hope of victory. u. a. o.?-House Solon Addresses Y Scarborough Says Students Must Correct Errors Made By The Old Order To acquire training in government and economics should be an aim of university students in order for them to do their share toward saving the state and world from chaos, according to Alfred Scarborough, newly elected member of the House of representatives from Richland County, in an address at Vesper service at the Y.

There is a skepticism about the future, in which the young people must not share, Mr. Scarborough said, adding, "It is up to the best of our young people, the best brains and the best spirits, to enter into the political life of the state with a new view point in order to correct the many mistakes made by the old order." "You arc now beginning your period of training. You must realize that a new world is ahead of you, one in which you must carve out your own way," Mr. Scarborough stated.

A special section of the stadium will be taken up by a group of Carolina alumni from New York City who will come down from the game and alumni from Philadelphia and vicinity. The New York and Philadelphia alumni have expressed great interest and enthusiasm in the game and will do their part to cheer the team to victory. A number of prominent Pennsyivanians have taken great interest and helped planned the Carolina section. Among them arc Philip A.
