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.

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.

Hitherto Unknown Mineral Lent
i For University Collection
From Arizona
| An unusual mineral specimen was
[ received by the Geology department
last Tuesday from Carl Trischka, chief
geologist of Phelps Dodge corporat?on,
Copper Queen Branch, Arizona.
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.
Sikes Is New
Baptist Head
Dr. E. W. Sikes, president of Clemson
College and former president of
Coker, was elected president of the
State Baptist convention last Wednesday
afternoon. He succeeds Dr. W.
L. Ball of Greenville. '
Dr. Sikes has been president of
Clemson for a number of years, and
contributed in a marked degree to
the educational advance of the state,
and particularly to that of Clemson
College, which, under his leadership,
has become one of the most outstanding
institutions in the nation.

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."

"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.

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.
Gamecock To
Feature Alumni
A personal column concerning
the interests and the whereabouts
of University alumni is
soon to be featured by The Gamecock,

requests that the alumni
of the University send to him at
the Alumni office any interesting
news of past graduates. All
alumni, whether members of the
Alumni Association or not, are
urged to contribute.

Prim professors will unbend this
afternoon to fight the co-eds in a
hockey match sponsored by the
Woman's Athletic Association at 4
0 clock on the hockey field.
If last years match is any indication
the professors know very little about
t le gentle art of hockey; but their
manly power may defeat the well
trained co-eds as they did last year,
8-1. Total ignorance of rules and
ways and means of managing hockey
sticks and keeping balls on the ground
intimidated the fair ladies. No amount
of skilj can take a player past a stick
wielded club fashion.
