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. The

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

Virginia Tech, the last man to preside

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.

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

Warnings Sent
To Delinquents
Students who at mid-term did not
make a passing grade on nine hours
of work are receiving an admonitory
letter reminding them of the requirement
stated in the catalogue to the
effect that nine hours work must be
passed before enrollment for the following
semester.
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.

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.

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

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."
