Ruling
A resolution reaffirming the faith
of the faculty in the Honor System,
traditional at the University and
warmly cherished by both faculty and
students, and its value from the standpoint
of character building* was
adopted at the regular meeting of the
faculty in Sloan college Wednesday
I afternoon.
Upon the recommendation of the
I faculty honor committee, it was furK
ther resolved that each instructor
make a sympathetic presentation of
jf the Honor System to each class. For
I the sake of uniformity it'was resolved
that each professor ask for pledges
on all set quizzes and examinations.
Heretofore some members of the
faculty have asked for pledges while
others have not.
Regarding the question of whether
it is advisable for the instructor to
remain in the classroom during examinations,
it was pointed out that
no uniformity existed in this connection.
It was not felt advisable to pass
a resolution on this because the faculty
wished to give every instructor as
much freedom as possible in the conduct
of his own classes.
"The kernel of the Honor System
is felt to be the cordial relationship
that should exist between the instructor
and his individual class," said Dr.
Francis W. Bradley, chairman of the
faculty Honor System committee. "If
this relationship is what it should be,
the faculty is confident that there will
be no violations of the principle of
honor."
A discussion of the honor principle
came up at the last meeting of tnc

Student Body
Larger Than
Ever Before
/
Shows High Increase
Total Enrollment For Semester
Expected To Be Approximately
1,800
An increased enrollment over that
of last year indicating the largest enrollment
in the history of the University
of South Carolina for this
session has been noted by John A.
Chase, registrar. The total registration
up to Thursday morning was
1,033, of these 1,058 are men, and 575
are women.
. "We expect the enrollment to approximate
1,800 for the session," said
Mr. Chase in discussing the registration.
The total for the same day last year
was 1,620 enrolled, showing an increase
of 13 for this session. Of this
total for the same day last year there
were 1,059 men and 561 women, showing
that this session there has been an
increase among the women students,
while the number of men is one less
than last year.
Last year's total enrollment was
1,782. A definite comparison with
this figure can n6t be made until after
the last day of registration, but it is
significant to note that Mr. Chase
expects a considerable increase. ^
October 8 is the,, last day on which
new students will be allowed to register.

Rat Sir Walter Raleigh
A freshman was walking across
the campus in the rain Wednesday
afternoon when he was spied
by an upperclassman who noticed
the absence of the customary rat
cap.
"Freshman," called the old man
in stentorian tones especially designed
to strike terror to the
heart; "Where is your cap?"
"It is this way, sir," responded
the unfortunate "rat," "I gave my
hat to a lady who was in distress
because her permanent wave
would come out if her hair got
wet."
"All right, Sir Walter Raleigh,"
came the reply, "but make sure

Given Charter
Members of Alpha Omega, local sorority,
have received word that their
petition for a charter*to the national
sorority, Sigma Kappa, has been
granted. Plans are being formulated
for the national installation which will
take place the latter part of this month.
The advent of Sigma Kappa on the
University campus marks the introduction
of one of the oldest and most
outstanding national sororities in the
United States. It was founded at
CMby College in Waterville, Maine,
in 1874. The local group has been petitioning
for the past two years. This
marks the advent of the eighth national
sorority on the campus.

dances and May Queen festival. Unless
there is some one designated to
supervise these functions the chances
are that they would not be as successfully
staged as they have been in the
past," said Dr. Foster.
Last year the social committee
passed a ruling that there would be
no "dances for profit" held in the gym,
but instead a return to the old~plan
of holding strictly student dances
where the admission fee would be
small and only the amount needed to
meet the expenses of the orchestra
and incidental expenses.

Social Cabinet
"Elections Soon;
Others Also
Politicians and "politicing" will
again come to the forefront on the
campus with the social cabinet elections
during the week of October 10
through the 15th.
The student body constitution calls
for an election to be called by the president
during the second week in October
of each year to elect three (3)
of the members of the student body to
serve with two (2) members of the
faculty on the social cabinet.
It is rumored that candidates for
these offices will speak in the chapel
on their qualifications for the office.
This would be the first in an attempt
to have all candidates for student body
offices to speak in the chapel before
elections. Nothing has been definitely
decided about the proposed speakings,
however.
The freshman law class will hold its
election on Saturday, October 29, according
to the constitution. It will
be called and presided over by the
vice-president of the student body.
The president will call the first meeting
of the freshman academic class on
October 29 for nominations for officers.

To Obtain M. A.
South Carolina Laws Affecting
Newspapers," is the subject of the
thesis to be offered by J. Rion McKissick,
Dean of the School of Journalism,
for the degree M. A. in Journalism
from the University of Wisconsin.
The thesis consists of a compilation
of statutes and decisions of the
highest South Carolina court involving
newspapers and contains a digest
of 162 cases decided by the state supreme
court. Most of the cases are
concerned with slander and libel and
cover a period from 1791 to 1932.
The author plans to complete the
thesis this year. He hopes to make
it a practical handbook for use by
South Carolina newspapermen and to
distribute it to them without cost.

invited by the University Alumni Association
to attend Home-coming day
for Carolina alunini on November 5th,
the day of the Carolina-L. S. U. football
game, Barney A. Early, alumni
secretary, announced today. Senator
Long has indicated to friends in Columbia
that he might make the trip
with the team.
The Senator will probably be one of
the chief centers of interest at the
game. Last year when Carolina played
at Baton Rouge he led the cheering
sections. In his home state he has
had a stormy political career and is
known all over the nation as "the
Kingfish of Louisiana." At present
he is campaigning for the RooseveltGarner
ticket.
Home-coming day will be taken up
with a meeting of the alumni council,
a general meeting and a luncheon. At
the game all alumni will occupy scats
set aside for them. Definite plans
for the day have not been formulated
yet.
