Carolinian To Appear Soon Is First Edition Put Out By Mary Begg Ligon; To Be LiteraryHumorous The February edition of The Carolinian will be ready for distribution on Tuesday, February 28 it was announced yesterday by Editor Mary Begg Ligon. This will be the first edition under the new staff and the first edition of the magazine edited by a woman in its present literaryhumorous form. At the same time Editor Ligon announced that the recent decision of the faculty to charge the form of two publications back to its old form of a strictly literary magazine will not go into effect this year due to the fact that advertizing contracts for the year have been made on the present form. The Carolinian was originally a strictly literary magazine but in March, 1931, upon a petition of the students the form was changed.

Methodists Sti In Conclave A meeting of the Methodist students of the University was held in Flinn Hall Wednesday afternoon. Speakers for the meeting were Dr. J. M. Culbreth, of Durham, N. C., Rev. J. E. Ford, of Orangeburg, and Rev. H. C. Rittcr, of Greenville. The purpose of the meeting was to draw the students into closer affiliation with the church and especially with the local churches during their stay in school. .This was one of a series of similar meetings held this week In most of the colleges of the state. These meetings are planned to climax with the annual State Methodist Students Conference, which is in session at Bethel Activity Fee Cut Defeated In The House Rufus M. Newton Advocates Lowering Of Fee In House Of Representatives Student View Favored Hildebrand Believes Activities Furnish Education; Amendment Killed The House of Representatives by a vote of 54 to 38 refused to adopt an amendment introduced by Rufus M. Newton, of Anderson, a law student at the University, to limit the student activity fee at Carolina to ten dollars per year instead of the present amount of twelve dollars and a half per semester, involving a cut of more than fifty per cent. According to provisions of the appropriation bill which has been passed by the House, "no fee for student activities in excess of ten dollars shall be made compulsory." Following reading of Newton's amendment, Representative R. B. Hildebrand, York, declared that during his undergraduate days at the University he had "received more valuable training from the literary societies and other activities supported out of this fee than from any three courses prescribed at the University." "I spent six years there and I think such an insignificant matter as this should be left up to the students," he said. Representative F.pting asked if it wasn't a fact that the students "fixed the figure on themselves." To this Newton said, "students can get almost anything over in an election.

In his address, Dr. Culbreth pointed out that the majority of college students are church members, while only a minority keep up their church relations after going to school. It was noted, however, that this could not be blamed to the colleges since the percentage of students who continue their church relations is much higher than the percentage of young people not attending college. He also stressed the fact that students at the University are especially fortunate in having such rich opportunities as arc presented by the local churches, Y. M.'s and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations.
