County Board
Is Substitute
Says Derrick
The System Would Definitely
Place Responsibility, Promote
Efficiency
County Gov't Headless
"The Oounty Should Have Actnal,
Not Merely Nominal Head",
He Says
Dr. S. M. Derrick, head of the
Economics Department, recommended
the establishment of county boards as
substitutes for legislative control in
county governments in an address to
a joint meeting of the Rotary and
Kiwanis clubs in Rock Hill recently.
He said that the present county
governments are characterized by "unintelligible
confusion which prevents
the exercise of economy."
Derrick suggested that an organization
"which will definitely placc
responsibility for the conduct of
county affairs" should be established
in each county to promote efficiency
and economy.
County government at present "is
a headless government," the University
professor said. "It represents a
diffusion of powers, duties, and responsibilities.
It is the finest system
possible to engage in the great American
sport of 'passing the buck'."
Legislative delegations which in
theory are state officers actually have
assumed "wide executive powers" and
function as loosely-knit county boards,
Derrick continued.
"The plain fact is that the real
power in county affairs in South Carolina
is the legislative delegation," the
economist said.
"There must be a separation of
legislative and executive functions. In
other words, the county should have
an actual and not merely a nominal
head.
"Obviously, such a scheme would
call for the election by popular vote

Appropriation
18 Months
University Appropriation Total R
Of Eighteen Months; Inert
Original Ways And
An appropriation of $240,600 for the
University of South Carolina for 18
months, an increase of 00 per cent
over the 12 months bill provision of
$156,000, was passed by the House
Wednesday as all provisions of the
new 18-month bill relating to statesupported
educational institutions were
adopted unchanged.
The increase of 60 per cent over the
old 12-months bill was made in view
of the fact that 60 per cent of the
school work is accomplished during
the first half of the year.
Only one change was attempted in
the section relating to educational institutions,
Representative Whaley of
the Charleston delegation attempting
to get the appropriation of the Medical
College raised from $73,000 to
$90,000. His effort failed.
The section of the bill relating to
the University read as follows: University
of South Carolina, for maintenance,
$249,600. Provided, that the
trustees of the University shall provide
for admitting to the University

Free tuition was granted to 80 additional
applicants at the University
for the last half of the school session
of 1932-1033. This still leaves the
number of University students receiving
free tuition below v the 800
mark.
Some of the students in this last
number are those who were refused
free tuition for the first semester, but,
due to decreased finances in their

At the regular meeting of the PanHellenic
Council at the University
Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, it was
decided by the representatives of the
various fraternities to give a dance
within the next two weeks at the University
gymnasium. Members from all
the fraternities on the campus were
present, all voting unanimously for the
dance to be given.
A committee was appointed for the
purpose of arranging for the dance,
composed of Archie Beattie, chairman,
and David Ellison and Marshall
Williams to serve under him. The
committee will announce at a later
date the exact time as to when the
dance will be given.
February 22 Will Be
Last Registration Date
Registration for the second semester
will end Wednesday, February 22,
it was announced today by Registrar
John A. Chase, Jr. No further regisi
tration will be allowed after that date
and all those matriculating between
today and next Wednesday will be
| charged a late registration fee.
Wednesday will also be the last
date on which changes may be made
in schedules. After that date all those
withdrawing from a class will be given
a grade of "W." A charge of fifty
cents is made for each change in
schedule after the regular registration
period at the beginning of the semester.
Mr. Chase also asked that the attention
of the students again be directed

provided, however, that this shall not
apply to present matriculates. Provided,
further, that the School of
Pharmacy now in existence at the
University of South Carolina, be and

this session.
By a vote of 69 to 33, the House
refused to adopt an amendment to
the 18 months appropriation bill
which would have increased the appropriation
for the 0-0-1 school law
for the 1933-34 school year from $1,014,000,
as provided in the ways and
means bill, to a flat $2,000,000.
The rejection of this amendment
left the amount at $1,014,000 for
school aid.
Sections for the legislative department,
judicial department, governor's
office, secretary of state, comptroller
general, attorney general and state
treasurer were adopted without debate.

G. T. Daniel, retiring president of
the Euphradian Literary society in his
exaugural address at a reception given
in honor of newly elected officers,
urged the members to strengthen the
society by a renewal of interest in it
and for what it stands.
In his inaugural address, Leon Keaton,
Jr., president, reviewed the past
of the society in its trying periods and
how it overcame them each time.
"In particular," he said in the course
of his address, "I hope to stress attendance,
preparation and performance."
"May I say that I am absolutely opposed
to forming ourselves into a
group to dip into petty politics."
"I wish to express a word of praise
for our organs, The Gamccock and The
Carolinian. Their work has been of
the best quality."
"I believe, however, we might be
more lenient and share the activities
with the entire Student Body by not
requiring membership of our societies
from all those who wish to hold staff
positions on The Gamccock and The
Carolinian.
Refreshments were served while
Werbcr Bryan rendered "Dangerous

Robert H. Atkinson spoke for a few

Many Students Enroll
In Bible Department
The University Bible Department
has more students enrolled than it has
had for a number of years, there being
now approximately 200 men and
women students taking Bible courses.
Dr. Murchison, Bible Department
head, says that the students are interested
in the cultural as well as the religious
phase of the Bible. The lives
of the great heroes of the Old Testament
share popularity with the New
Testament. The classes are intensely
enthusiastic in their work, he said.

South Carolina, by some trick of
fortune, is one of few states in which
Dr. Smith's book is not used. Delaware,
Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana
are the other states in which it is
not used. The set is most extensively
employed in California, Iowa and
Ohio.
Dr. Smith is now working on two
new books, one on the teaching of
English and another on anthology of
ballads.

Carolinian Restored
To Original Status
The Carolinian has been "restored
to its former form as to
content and will become a predominating
literary magazine with
some few features of the pictorial
section to be retained" as the result
of action taken by the faculty
council Wednesday.
Since the March issue in 1931,
the Carolinian has been a literaryhumorous
publication. The initiative
in restoring the magazine to its
former status was taken by the
faculty and not by the staff, it was
pointed out.
Advertising contracts made on
the basis of the present status of
the magazine may prevent the
change from being immediate. This
matter will be worked out by the
faculty committee on student publications
and the staff of the Carolinian.

Paintings Shown
At Drayton Hall
A selection of oil paintings, valued
at $25,900 by California artists is on
display until February 26, on the first
floor of the University High School
Ruilding. The paintings were gathered
by Leila Mechlin in connection
with the Columbia Art Association,
and form a group of 31 canvasses.
According to Prof. Oscar L. Keith,
of the Department of Romance Languages
at the University, and president
of the Columbia Art Association,
the exhibit is of exceptional merit.
"I have visited many famous art
galleries in Italy and other foreign
countries," said Prof. Keith, "but this
display is one of the finest I have ever
seen."
Among the exquisite scenes from
the western coast, is the picture entitled,
"Splendour of the Moon" by
F. Tenney Johnson, which is valued
at $2,500.
