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

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.

Cover Of College Humor To Display
Beautiful Girl And
Name Of College
Nation-wide recognition of the well
known pulcritude of the University's
lovely co-eds has at last come. 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.

Degree Rules I
Are Changed
Candidates For M.S. 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.

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. That
was before the day of some of
the more recent electrical appliances
and the radio of which some
our students of today boast.

A number of students were still in

Registration is still in progress and

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.

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. M. C. A. Sunday night.
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.
He also stressed the fact that none

The New York and Philadelphia
