First Yt Highlights Of Co-eds Given Women Gain In Number Mrs. Elliot Presents Views Of University Women in Recent Interview Sidelights on University co-eds were presented in an interesting manner by Mrs. Irene Dillard Elliott, for eight years dean of women at the University, in a recent interview with a member of the Junior League for their edition of The State. No longer are the girls considered a nuisance to break into a masculine stronghold, for each year they gain in importance with their numbers, this year registering 583 against the 1,003 men. Their ages range from 16 to 60; several are matrons who were tempted by matrimony before their degrees were completed. Women are now holding responsible offices on the campus in student organizations and publications, in classes, and in sports. Nevertheless, there are fewer women students in the "lowest quartile" and more in the "highest quartile" than ever before. There is not the same sort of struggle against lack of funds found among the co-cds as among the men students. Unless they arc assured of a room and meals, the women will not attempt to register at the University. ?' Xhe graduate school gives women an opportunity for attaining higher degrees, an M. A. or a Ph. D. Women arc found in practically every school of the University; the greatest number arc registered in the college of arts and sciences, many are found in journalism and commerce, and a few are registered in law. U. 8. O. Roosevelt May Choose Alumni Many South Carolinians Here Served National Government In Past With several South Carolinians mentioned for cabinet positions during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, attention is directed to the number of South Carolinians, among whom are several University alumni, who have, in the past served 'the national government. Republican control of the government for practically all of the last seventy years has prevented the South in general and traditionally Democratic South Carolina in particular from sending many leaders into the government but| in past time the South was largely represented. John Rutledge, an early alumnus of the University, served on the Supreme Court bench and Hugh S. Legare was secretary of state under Tyler. Senator John C. Calhoun was also secretary of state under Tyler and secretary of War under Monroe. Though not a graduate of the University, Calhoun was greatly interested in its welfare and was one of those instrumental in its founding. His interest in the University is attested by the fact that he is an honorary member of the Clariosophic Literary society. Legare also served as attorney general. South Carolina has had two speakers of the house, Langdon Cheves in 1814 and 1815 and James L. Carr in 1857. As secretary of the navy South Carolina had Paul Hamilton. Henry Middleton, another University alumnus was minister to Russia at one time as was Francis W. Pickens and James L. Orr, two other South Carolinians. Thomas Pinkncy and Charles C. Pinkney were ministers to England and France respectively. William E. Gonzales of Columbia, present editor DUKE UNIVERSITY S0HOOL OP MEDICINE DURHAM, N. C.

I his specimen seems to be a new mineral that has not been previously I named and described. Mr. Trischka | in the past has sent several specimens of rare and unusual minerals to Dr. Stephen^Taber, head of the Geology department. The department of Geology has a very valuable collection of minerals and fossils. Most of the specimens ave been in the collection for some time as the University has had no money to use in enlarging this collection in recent years. Therefore, the growth of the collection has been dependent upon gifts and the efforts of the professors and instructors in this department. | A very valuable collection of copper specimens was given to the University by Mr. -P. H. Boswell who graduated in the class of 1920. Mr. D. H. Eargle, '26, in connection with his geology work in Ohio and New York has collected many specimens and sent them to the University.

He succeeds Dr. W. L. Ball of Greenville.

V. 8. O. Ballads Read In Hypatian A program on John Masefield, eminent English poet and dramatist, featured the last meeting of the Hypation Literary Society, held Wednesday in the Clariosophic Hall. A paper on "John Masefield: His Life and Contributions", written by Sara Norris, was read by Bessie Vigodsky, who declared that Masefield's ballards of the sea were considered his best work. It was further stated that his poems were popular because of the way in which they blend romance and realism. Annie Maude Huiett then read several of Masefield's shorter poems. These included "Sea-Fever," "A Night at Dago Tom's," and "Roadways." tr. m. o.

"Pal" Follows To Bird-] Entrains With Students On Gam In Greenville Makes Genial By Philip Sabbagha To Pal Ludwig, Mr. Emil Sylvan's big St. Bernard dog, goes the honor of being the Gamecock's unofficial team mascot. Hy reason of his recent and unusual trip to Greenville, Pal has been duly accordcd this honor. As was his usual custom when something big was going on in a "Carolina" way, Pal was right on hand when the Southern railway's special-Greenville bound was ready to pull out of Union Station, at eight o clock last Saturday morning. Put on board by an ardent Carolina student who must have felt Pal's hidden desire to accompany the special, the big St. Bernard, in a mannerly way, I picked out a good scat for himself and became probably the first dog to ride I a train on a passenger seat. However, it was not long before it became apparent that the canine's expenses for the trip had to be taken care of. When the Gamecock Special j pulled into Spartanburg, Pal was paraded through the coaches, and a collection was taken up, one cent beI ing contributed by each person to-1 ward defraying his expenses. Then came Pal's big moment. On I his arrival at Greenville, he was taken ] I up town, bought a big dinner, and then decorated in garnet and black colors, the Mascot! Then came Pal's march I to Manly field. As he walked from the Poinsett hotel to the grounds he I was a constant attraction and once there he took his proper place among Carolina supporters.

Dr. Babcock states that although he would like to attend, he will not be able to make the trip. Students Furman Game tecock Special And Once Arrived Himself At Home In Manner The biggest moment of Pal's trip came when he was given the one opportunity in which to make use of his unofficial duty. When the 50-piece University band, in their white trousers and garnet coats, marched on the field at the half, Pal quickly joined them, barking as he went. Then when the band finished its field maneuvers, marched up to the Carolina section and began to play the University's alma mater song, Pal, loyal dog that he is, promptly sat back 011 his hind legs and remained quiet until the music stopped. What a Pal! After the game, the big St. Bernard became the center of attraction everywhere lie went. When the special was ready to pull out of Greenville, headed toward home once again,'Pal was right there, to the tune of "Home, Sweet Home". In spite of the fact that it was now not such a happy day because of defeat, Pal kept right on wagging his tail. However, the big St. Bernard, weary from his unusual trip, soon went to sleep. When the train pulled into Spartanburg, Pal was dead to the world. He continued to dose until the train was ready to continue its run. This aroused him and he ran out of the door. The train was stopped and he was put back 011. When the train arrived in Columbia late that night Pal was glad to get home for he quickly proceeded up tfte street to his favorite haunt. To Pal goes the honor of being the Gamecock's unofficial mascot.
