Before Furman Game x
A luncheon at the Hotel Poinsett in
Greenville will feature a meeting of
Carolina alumni of the up-state just
before the Carolina-Furman football
game Saturday.
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

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

Dr. Lake, who is possible one of
the most famous of the present missionaries

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.

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.

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

will be expected to sit in it. If all
the seats in the scction are not taken

Dr. Mills, "I would have attributed

To illustrate his point, Dr. Mills included

proved that numerical relations exist

When The Gamccock reporter was I

Tuition Given

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.

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 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

Total of eighty men were elected
to the German Club of the University

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

A meeting was held several week?
