Reservations for the event are being made rapidly, and indications point to a large crowd of old grads at the gettogether luncheon. Visiting alumni from Columbia, Spartanburg, Anderson and nearby towns and cities are asked to get their reservations in by Friday. The luncheon for the Gamecock supporters will be at the same hour as ^ the luncheon for the Furman alumni. A short and snappy program will be worked out and the entire event will take but a little over an hour, giving supporters ample time to get to Manly field for the titular gridiron clash. Reservations should be mailed to Bill Varn, care the Greenville Piedmont, or Ed. B. Smith, Woodside building, both in Greenville. Seats are selling for the game rapidly, and a crowd of 10,000 or 12,000 is expected. Extra bleachers (Continued on Page t; Column 1) - . P. 8. P.. Reduction In Force Made Faculty Roster Smallest Since 1928-29 Session Chase Announces 1 he teaching staff of the University this year numbers the same as for the year 1928-29, according to figures given out recently by" John A. Chase, Jr., registrar of the University. The total number on the teaching staff is 98. This number is distributed as follows: 44 full professors, 5 adjunct professors, 17 instructors, 5 fellows, and 6 student instructors. With 98 teachers the average number of students to each one is 18. For three preceding years the number on the staff has been greater. There were 103 in 1929-30, 108 in 193031, and 107 in 1931-32. The fact that there are so few students to each instructor is conclusive proof that the charges that a student is lost in the mob and that personal contacts with the professor are impossible at the University are false. This has long been a popular falacy, but the fact remains that in very few of the small denominational schools are there so few students to each professor. Euphradian El Contes The election of some of the officers recently elected by'the Euphradian society was challenged by several of the members at a meeting of the society last Tuesday night on the grounds that those elected were not eligible under the constitution to hold the offices to which they were elected. Debate on the question was temporarily discontinued when a finding committee was appointed to examine the constitution and report their findings at the next meeting. Those whose election was contested were I^eon Kcaton, literary critic; Robert DuBose, secretary; Phillip Sabbagha, censor; and Jack Payne, treasurer. At first it was claimed that only DuBose was ineligible to hold office, but upon looking at the constitution it was found that if he were declared ineligible the other officers A, "p t- ' tia Gs \ Lake Speaks To Y.

M. C. A. vespers program, held in the University chapel, last Sunday night at 7 o'clock. Dr. Lake, who is possible one of the most famous of the present missionaries in China told the story of his capture by the bandits and his long work in establishing a leper colony among them. He related how he spent many nights alone on the pirate islands unmolested, and how he had succeeded in establishing the Tai-Kam leper colony on a pirate island, which the president of China bought for him.

Students May Win Fellowship Pi Lambda Theta, Honorary Education, Fraternity Gives Research Opportunity A fellowship ^or some graduate woman student wishing to research in education is being offered by Pi Lambda Theta, honorary fraternity for women in education, James H. Hope, state superintendent of education, was informed yesterday. The fellowship carries a stipend of $1,000, $900 of which will be paid in two equal amounts. The remaining $100 will be paid when all qualifications have been met. Concerning the qualifications necessary, the regulations set forth that "the candidate for this fellowship shall have at the time of her application, at least the degree of master of arts ] from a* graduate school of recognized worth. In addition, she shall have shown notable skill in teaching, and significant accomplishments. u. 8. o. Betting Odds Vary With The Locality A wire received by The Gamecock from Greenville early this morning * states that Furman supporters are so confident of a victory over the Gamecocks that they are spotting several touchdowns. None of thjs highly advertised money has reached Columbia, it seems, and those who think that Bill Laval and his cohorts have the edge on the Baptists are hard put to find even money and are even forced to give points. 'ections ted In Meeting would also 4>e ineligible. The finding committee appointed was as follows: Jack LevkofT, Thomas Inabinett, and Baynard Whaley. Frank Graham, extemporaneous speaker for the evening, spoke on the issues brought up in the recent exaugural speech of Jack LevkofT and heartily favored a project to turn the society into a political science forum and into a definite party organization on thft campus. "I suggest that this group nominate men for the various campus offices," he, said. "I know that this move would cause an awful row but I believe such a move would help the membership of the society and woul^l produce a better type of politician than is now found on the campus."

Dr. Mills announces that he has discovered a simple numerical relationship, which exists between the speed of light and the physical constants which are now considered fundamental to all scientific investigation.

These tickets must be used in conjuncture with the student activity book and will entitle the holder to a scat in the special section reserved for Carolina students in the stadium at Greenville.' Dr. Ralph K. Foster received a letter Tuesday from Coach McLcod of Furman in which he was informed that th? section reserved for Carolina students was identical with that reserved for Furman students, except that it was on the opposite side of the field. The scction contains 963 seats and all Carolina students at the game will be expected to sit in it. If all the seats in the scction are not taken by students the rest of the section will be thrown open to the public. A large representation is expected in Greenville for the game tomorrow, many plan to go to Clemson to-day for the Clcmson-Gcorgia game and then go on to Greenville Saturday. The Southern railroad is running a special excursion to Greenville. u. s. o> Morse Speaks At Greenville Head Of Department Of Psychology To Talk To University Women Dr. Josiah Morse, head of the Department of Psychology, will be the principal speaker this evening at the first open meeting of the annual state convention of the American Association of University Women in Greenville. Doctor Morse has been president of the Southern Psychological association, vice-president of the National Consumers' League and state director of the American Red Cross. He first came to the University in 1911 and since that time has been outstanding in his leadership in social service movements of various kinds all over the state. He is the author of several books and a long list of magazine and newspaper articles concerning his work iiv psychology. tr. s. o.

These pages are going to be different from anything ever attempted in the past and will add much to the attractiveness of the book as a whole.

"If there had been only a few similarities," stated Dr. Mills, "I would have attributed them to pure accident. But when the same similarities kept cropping up for no known reason, I knew that the theory of accident was untenable." To illustrate his point, Dr. Mills included in his article 13 tables, in each one of which the fundamental constants of nature are involved, and proved that numerical relations exist between them.

When The Gamccock reporter was I getting the basketball schedule from Dr. Foster, Dave Ellison was also on the scene and made a copy for himself which he subsequently pasted up in the Held House, thereby giving it a good bit of publicity before the campus I paper had come off the press.

Gives Banquet At Shrine Club: Masters, Clarkson, Masters Of Ceremonies Observing the silver anniversary of Delta Sigma Pi, international professional commerce fraternity, the local chapter of that organization held a banquet at the Shrine Club near Columbia, Monday evening. The feature of the occasion was an address by Carrol Jones, well-known business man of Columbia. Mr. Jones spoke on the various j phases of the insurance business. A. B. Goehrin, provincial officer of the fraternity, was also present for the banquet, which was attended by 35 members, guests, alumni, and rusheesi The function of master of ceremonies was performed jointly by f Harold Masters and Heyward Clarkson. At the same time that the local club was observing the anniversary similar celebrations were held by chapters all over the country.

In contrast to this action, Greenville I people have invited the University band I to participate in the parade which is a part of their miniature "Mardi Gras" celebration, and have stated that they would pay their expenses and entertain them while in the Piedmont metropolis. I eet Fi ??? ?? < Tuition Given Few Students Amounts To $25,000 Almost A Hundred Less Petitions Are Granted This Year Than Last Free tuition is had by a total of 719 students enrolled at the University, which is a slightly smaller figure than that of last year, and considerably smaller than 'that of several years ago. Free tuition was granted to 639 students by the South Carolina tax commission, which now has charge of all applications. The following are given free tuition under special provisions: teachers, 36; student assistants, 32; honorary scholarships, 6; and ex-service {nen, 6; making a total of 719. The total value of the free tuition amounts to about $25,000, and that amount is all that would be realized if free tuition were completely abolished as has been suggested a number of times in the state legislature and elsewhere. In 1931, 724 students were granted free tuition. u. a. o. Chase Reveals School Figures More Students Enroll In The School Of Arts And Sciences Than In Any Other The largest number of students enrolled in any school at the University are in the School of Arts and Sciences, according to a tabulation made by Registrar John A. Chase recently. There are 680 in this school. The next largest number are enrolled in the Commerce School, which has 271 students, and the School of Education comes next with 188 students. The number of students enrolled in the other schools is as follows: School of Engineering, 173; (Graduate School, 123; School of Law, 93; School of Journalism, 73; and School of Pharmacy, 53. These figures correspond generally with the distribution among the various schools in former years, with only a few variations. V. B. O. Cuts Count Double Because Of Holiday Students are warned that absences from classes on the days preceding and following the holiday for the Furman-Carolina football game,' Thursday and Friday and Monday and Tuesday, will be counted as double cuts, according to an announcement made by John A. Chase, registrar. Leave of absence has been granted all students of the University Saturday so that as many as wish may attend the grid contest in Greenville. Large Number Elected Total of eighty men were elected to the German Club of the University at meetings held Wednesday and last Friday. At the Friday meeting seven men were selected and 73 were voted in at the following meeting. At the meeting held Wednesday, the group passed a constitutional amendment calling for a two-thirds affirmative vote to allow a man to pass the club instead of the one black ball system as used before. Until the meeting this week only a few men had passed the dancc club, A meeting was held several week? ago in the law building at which 72 men were passed, but this meeting was later ruled illegal by a faculty committee and was not allowed to stand.

A victory for the Gamecocks will practically insure them their second consecutive state title. They meet the Citadel next Saturday in Columbia. Should Furman win, the Baptist must yet meet Clemson's rejuvenated Tigers, always a dangerous foe for the Hurricane. Coach Dizzy McLeod's eleven will be out to avenge a 27-to-0 lacing received at the Fair Grounds last year when Billy Laval's Birds strutted in their finest regalia before a homecoming crowd.
