Council Visits
Roosevelt
David R. Cokcr of Hartsvillc, senior
trustee and prominent alumnus of the
University, has been recommended to
President-elect Roosevelt for the cabinet
position of secretary of agriculture by
committeemen representing the Southeastern
Council. Mr. Coker was graduated
from the University in the class
of 1891. Last June he was given an honorary
degree by the University of North
Carolina.
The group was composed of Hugh
MacRae of Wilmington, N. G, Bruce
Webb of Asheville, N. C., II. B. Welborn
of Alabama, L. O. Crosby of Picayune,
Miss., Bruce R. Payne of Nashville,
Tenn., W. F. Coachman of Lake
1 Placid, Fla., Harry Lee Baker, state forester
of Florida, H. McDowell of Moultrie,
Ga., and W. W. Long, head of the
South Carolina extension service.
They said Mr. Roosevelt "received the
committee most cordially and gave indication
the recommendation would receive
careful consideration."
Mr. Coker is widely known as a plant
breeder, agricultural and cotton expert
and business man. He is a director of
the federal reserve bank of Richmond
and head of several business firms in his
Hk home city, including a large pedigreed
I seed company. .
gigj On his seed farm he originated vaI
rieties of staple cotton widely grown
I in this country and elsewhere.
He has taken a prominent part in pubI
lie affairs, particularly respecting agriH
culture. He was chairman of the South
I Carolina counsel of defense during the
I World War and of the federal food ad
ministration for his state.
He was a member of the national agri9
I cultural advisory( committee of the naI
tional agricultural commission to Europe
in 1918 and of the South Carolina land
settlement commission.
At a meeting of the Southeastern
Council in Birmingham, Wednesday, Mr.
Cokcr described present conditions as due
to "blind failure to recognize and improve
our great natural advantages."
"We have not applied enough of our
best brains to the development of our
most important industry, and when talented
experts have solved important problems
in agriculture, they have as a rule,
not been listend to, or compensated," he
As a program, Mr. Cokcr proposed
that unproductive agricultural lands be
i taken out of cultivation and reforested ;
that large areas be consolidated into units
and "farmed by the best corporation
methods ;" the re-development of the medium-sized
farm; "producing specialized
crops and live stock."
As the "most important step" in his
program, Mr. Coker put forward development
of the small home farm of
from two to twenty acres.

The line of cars winds slowly o'er the

A pedestrian plods his absent-minded

And leaves the world quite unexpectedly.

Mitchell Writes
On Economics
With vast work in Southern economics
to his credit, Broadus Mitchell,
'13, associate professor of political
economy at Johns Hopkins University,
has recently published a book, "A
Preface to Economics."
Professor Mitchell is the son of the
former president of the University of
South Carolina, Dr. S. C. Mitchell.
He has studied much about economic
conditions in the South and labor
problems in general.
An earlier book of his is a life of
William Gregg, who did so much for
cotton manufacturing in this State. He
reviewed in the December issue of
American Economic, an article, "Centennial
History of the South Carolina
Railroad," by Dr. S. M. Derrick, professor
of economics at Carolina.
With his brother, George, instructor
in economics at Columbia University,
Professor Mitchell published an
article on the cotton industry in the
Southeastern states in the ltcvuc Economique
International, May, 1932.

backed up by facts and that several other
members of the society agreed with him
that definite action should be taken in
the matter, Bryant said that he would
produce his proof as demanded.
The opposition to Bryant's motion was
arc $18,530.26 less than received last
year.
"Playing the Auburn football game in
Columbia seemed to be a gamble so far
as profits were concerned. Your Athletic
Advisory Board did not believe that we
should gamble on Athletic income when
our Association has financial obligations
past due. Playing the game in Birmingham
assures a net profit to us.
"Our Athletic Association owes $4,103.33
for equipment purchased this fall.
Over $3,000.00 have been paid out
this season for various athletic expenses.
This sum docs not include
salaries, expense of games such as hotel
bills, transportation or repairs for the
Fair Ground Stadium.
"Practically all equipment is purchased
from the factories at wholesale prices.
"When any Athletic Association is unable
to make money on its football games
then every other athletic activity is
pinched. Basketball, boxing, baseball,
track and tennis are never self-supporting
at our University," Dr. Foster concluded.

Foster, director of student activities
when Auburn officials offered an attractive
proposition in answer to Dr.
R. K. Foster's proposal that the transfer
be made. Considering agitation
followed announcement of the change
in site of the contest and University
officials communicated with Auburn
officials in an effort to have the game
brought back to Columbia. Plans for
staging the contest in Birmingham
had progressed too far, however, and
the re-transfer was declared "impossible"
by Auburn officials.
Many students are making the trip
to Birmingham by way of the Southern
Railway, which is conducting a
round-trip excursion for $5. The students'
athletic books will be recognized
at the gates, Dr. Foster declared.
Dean Francis W. Bradley announced
that students who made the trip to
Birmingham to see the game would
be excused from classes, provided they
turn in an excuse to this effect to the
registrar's office Monday.
Carolina was defeated by Auburn
last year, 13 to 6, the Plainsmen tallying
all of their points in the opening
half. Earl Clary played his best game
of the year in this contest, making
Auburn's all-opponent's team.
The probable starting line-up for
Carolina will be Craig and Willard,
ends; Johnson and Huskcy, tackles;
Morchead and Fortson, guards; J.
Shinn, center; Mauney, quarterback;
Hambright and Clary, halves; and
