CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Boxer' si-// j? I 77~K ~*c 1 yAe CM %COC/C ' UNIVERSITY OF Jt SOUTH CAROLINA Founded 1908 ifuaget Students To Be On Board Victory For Gamecock Student Members Of Athletic Advisory Board To Be Elected In May In answer to an editorial printed last week in The Gamecock concerning Student representatives on the Athletic Advisory board President Baker said today that in the future representitives to the board would be elected at the regular May elections of the Student Body. For the past several years they have been elected by the Block C club. In discussing the subject President Baker said that lie did not know when the Block C club had taken over the duty of electing the representatives, but that recently upon investigation he had found that election by that body was illegal because of a ruling of the trustees in 1923 barring from the Board all members of athletic teams. The Athletic Advisory board was created at the same time that the Athletic association came into being. It is composed of the president of the University as ex-officio chairman, two members of the faculty appointed by the president, two members elected from the alumni association and two student representatives. Originally each member of the Board had one vote but when the Southern conference passed a ruling delegating control of athletics to the faculties of the various colleges, the voting strength of the alumni and student representatives was cut to one-half vote each.

Meets In Richmond To Perfect Organization And Meet Changed Conditions Of Conference Athletic officials of Southern conference institutions are converging on Richmond today for the meeting of the conference which convenes at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon in the Murphy hotel. Schools represented will be the University of South Carolina, V. M. I.? V. P. I., Washington and Lee, the University of Virginia, the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, Clemson, Duke, and the University of Maryland, all that are left of the original 23 schools who were members of the conference before the recent break. This will be the second meeting of the conference within a month and important matters for discussion will be found in abundance. The meeting at Knoxville last month was adjourned almost immediately after the split in the conference was announced and all important subjects for discussion were laid aside pending the meeting in Richmond. The first responsibility of the meeting will be perfecting of a reorganization to meet the changed condition of the conference. When the southern group resigned it took with it many leading figures and these will be hard to replace. However, the group wi have the leadership of C. P. Miles of Virginia Tech, the last man to preside (Continued on Pago ?{ Column 4) it. a. o. Present Issue Last For Term The staff of The Gamecock regretfully announces that, due to the sadly depleted state of the exchequer, there will be no more issues this semester. The amount allocated to The Gamecock from the Student Activity funds has already been expended and it is impossible to put out another paper until the next semester heaps more gold into the coffers. Twelve issues have already been printed, which is one more than the total number during the first semester last year. Com#?

Foster Asks Radio Ban Be Modified A modification of the present ruling banning broadcasting of all football games played by members of the Southern conference so that one or perhaps two games a season may be broadcasted was advocated by Ralph K. Foster, director of student activities, just before leaving for Richmond last night for the meeting of officials of the Southern conference. Dr. Foster was appointed as a committee of one to study the question of the radio ban at the meeting of the Southern conference at Knoxville last month and will present his report at the meeting in Richmond today. Dr. Foster's recommendation will come as somewhat of a surprise as he as long been opposed to the use of any broadcasting. He explained his modified view, however, by stating that radio companies arc now bringing to bear almost "irresistible" pressure on college officials and he believes his recommendation will be a workable solution of the problem. He added that such a ruling would do much to appease the radio companies without materially hurting gate receipts as most of the Southern conference games next year that will warrant broadcasting will be sell-outs anyway. On the question of new members in the conference he voiced great (Continued on P*a? ? Column S) tr. a. o.

The parents of these delinquent students are also being advised by letters of the situation in regard to their sons and daughters. There are only between 65 and 70 upperclassmen who are in this catagory. This is not a particularly high percentage, according to a statement made by officials. The freshmen on this list has been communicated with through the personal bureau, which has had previous contacts with these students. The number of freshmen is approximately the same as the number of upperclassmen, but this fact is not surprising due to the fact that there are always more casualties among the freshmen class.

Carolina To-day Derrick Breaks Into College Humor The mantle of-obscurity will surely never cover Professor S. M. Derrick. College Humor has very gallantly made him the party to a joke, taken from last June's issue of The Carolinian which reads: Frosh to Professor Dcrrick: "Pardon me, Professor, but would you mind if I digress here and ask a question concerning today's lesson?" and we make the profound observation that college professors and freshmen have a very, very fine sense of humor. Page Mr. Lippman In spite of Walter Lippman's prolific and untiring efforts to educate us in our form of government, a debater in the Clariosophic Literary society at its last meeting declared, "The lame duck session of congress is the last meeting of congress before they adjourn," Interesting if possible?and true. Olden Days "In the olden days" said Dr. Babcock at the Y vespers, "they put men in prison when they owed money." Then with a smile he added: "It's a lucky thing they don't do that now." He probably fears that our prisons would be transformed into University Professors' club rooms.

JefTeries, '10, of Colleton to the committee chairmanship, an officc which automatically carries with it a place on the University board of trustees. JefTeries succeeds T. B. Grencker. Yesterday the house committee reelected M. F. Bush, *10, of Aiken as chairman of the house committee on education, an office that also carries automatic membership to the board. JefTeries is serving his second term in the Senate. He has been one of the legislature's most outstanding members and has long be a leading proponent for good roads. Bush is serving his second term in the House and has also been prominent in constructive legislation. duction Carolina Will Suffer Slash Cut Is Widespread Commission Recommends Smaller Allowance In All State Departments Recommendations for one of the most drastic cuts in state appropriations in many years were presented before the House Ways and Means committee by the Budget commission Thursday. Issued through Governor I. C. Blackood as chief budget officer, the recommendations called for financial allowances to be slashed from $9,460,153 to $6,502,240 with reductions in every branch of the state department. The University of South Carolina, which received an appropriation of $312,000 in 1932 was recommended to receive a lump sum of $240,000, which is a cut of $72,000. The University requested $379,675. Other recommendations for state schools were The Citadel $150,000, a cut of $25,000; Clemson College $85,000, a cut of $56,000; Winthrop College $215,000, a cut of $77,000; and the Medical College $70,000, a cut of $22,000. A cut expected to provoke opposition from educators was that in state aid to schools under the 6-0-1 law which was decreased from $3,390,000 last year to $1,900,000 in the recommendations, amounting to a reduction of nearly $1,500,000. The budget was prepared under the assumption that state revenue for the year will amount to $6,664,000 or $161,759 more than recommended appro(Continued on Page 5; Column 2) U. b. C. Prof Author Of Preface Dr. S. M. Derrick Writes Foreword For Book On S. C. Government By Columbus Andrews Dr. S. M. Derrick is the author of he preface to Columbus Andrews, new book, Administrative Government in South Carolina." The appendium is by Marion A. Wright of Conway, South Carolina. In his foreword Dr. Derrick says: "For the past few years it has been a feeling?almost the conviction?of a small but growing group of students and public spirited citizens that the county government in South Carolina was not being operated at low levels of economy and efficiency. But nowhere in the state did there exist a body of scientific information and thought. No one could speak with authority. "Therefore, when in 1930 the Institute for the Research in Social Science of the University of North Carolina offered to cooperate with the University of South Carolina in a close study of the subject the opportunity was eagerly seized. "It is of course not claimed that this work represents the last word on county government in South Carolina. However, Mr. Andrews with rare understanding has in the concluding chapter made distinctly constructive suggestions. He has laid the ground work for improved constructive suggestions on county affairs." tr. s. o. Dr. Ball Speaks To Convention Dr. W. W. Ball, '89, editor of the Charleston Ncivs and Courier, will be the principal speaker of the first evening session of the 11th annual convention of the Diocese of Upper South Carolina to be held in Grace church, Anderson, January 17 and 18. The subject of Dr. Ball's address will be "The Man and the Church in the Crisis." David R. Coker, '91 of Hartsville will make a statement about the work of the South Carolina Council. ,/ i il
