Two Motions Endorsed By Student Body Would Provide That Two Students Be Elected To Office On Advisory Board Motions Are Unanimous Extra Carolina-Clemson Football Fee Seems Quite Likely To Be Abolished March 22 was set as the date for the election of the two student representatives to the Advisory board and the faculty was asked to amend its action in barring athletes from serving on the board to the extent of permitting at least one to hold such office under the terms of motions unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Student Body Wednesday night in the chapel. The Advisory board is composed of three faculty members with a full vote each, two Student Body members with a half vote each, and two alumni members with a half vote each. It is operated under the provisions of the Southern Conference athletic association which require faculty control. A motion introduced by John Bolt Culbertson to the effect that students demand the money due them from the transfer last year of the Auburn game to Birmingham, twenty cents per capita, and turn it over to the athletic association for the purpose of taking care of deficits and to defray the expenses of banquets for the teams was tabled. "Some action should be taken concerning the extra dollars the students pay at the Carolina-Clemson football game," Culbertson declared. J. Wiley Brown interrupted by saying that Dr. Baker had assured him that he was going to Clemson College in the near future for the purpose of conferring with the officials of that institu(Contlnued on Pago S; Column t) u. 0. o. Debate Team Tryouts Held Affirmative And Negative Sides Chosen ; Query Cancellation Of War Debts Members were recently chosen for the debating team at the University who will represent the institution in out-of-state debates, the men being selected from those who participated in the try-outs held the first of this semester for affirmative and negative teams. The question to be discusscd this year by the debaters is: "Resolved, That the United States should agree to the cancellation of the Inter-Allied War Debts." Those making the affirmative team were: T. Carlyle Hankins, Lakeview; James H. Galloway, Lynchburg; Tom Whaley, Charleston; James Brailsford, Orangeburg. The negative team is composed of J. Wiley Brown, Bishopville; L. A. Williamson, Aiken; Lonnic D. Causey, Myrtle Beach; Richard J. Foster, Greenville. Hankins is a member of the Clariosophic Literary society, and Kappa Sigma Kappa, honorary service fraternity. During his stay at the University he has shown a great interest in debating, having participated in many discussions before the literary (Continued on Paoe 8; Column I) S. M. Derrick. Greenwoo Dr. S. M. Derrick, of the Economics department, declared that County Government is operated at low levels of efficiency and economy in an address to the Rotary club in Greenwood a few days ago. If there is one characteristic of county affairs that stands out, he said, it is a complete lack of system of government, a lack of uniform principle of organization. A graphical drawing of the governmental organization of almost any county in the state gives one an impression of a Chinese puzzle. "Viewed from any angle, the conclusion can hardly be escaped that the Alpha Betas And Tri Delts Top Averages For High Scholarship All Sorority And Fraternity Average Higher Than Any Other Group Alpha Beta, local fraternity, and Delta Delta Delta, national sorority, tied for first place in scholarship for the first semester among campus Greek letter social organizations, according to figures released today by Registrar John A. Chase. Phi Beta Delta, national fraternity, and Pi Beta Phi, national sorority, were ranked third and fourth respectively. The all-sorority and fraternity average was somewhat higher than the non-fraternity and sorority average, and though the fraternity average was below the all-University average it was above that of the non-fraternity men. Non-sorority women on the other hand excelled the sorority women. This survey in the past has been conducted by the University at the end of every semester but this year because of reduced appropriation the University was unable to carry on the work, and the men's Pan-Hellenic council took it over instead. PanHellenic reprcsentitives offered their services gratis and work on the survey has been pogressing for the past two weeks. Men working on the survey were Marshall Williams, Phi Kappa (Continued on Pago 5; Column 3) Quartet To Be Heard On Air Will Broadcast Wednesday On South Carolina Research Council Program The University Quartet will broadcast over radio station WBT at Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday March 15, at 1:30 p. m. as a feature of the weekly half hour program sponsored by the South Carolina Council and Research group of which R. E. Hanna of Cheraw is secretary. These regular programs have as their purpose the advertising and boosting of South Carolina and Maurice Matteson, director of the quartet, feels that the invitation for the singers to appear is a tribute to the University. The University Quartet is composed of Rhettman Salvo, first tenor; Abbott Lake, second tenor; Stanley Bernard, baritone; and William Boozer, bass. The singers will be accompanied by (Continued on Pago 8; Column 1) U. 8. O. O. D.K. Delegates Go To Durham Dr. Havilah Babcock, Sanders Guignard, and Mike Brown represented the University at the national convention of Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership fraternity, held in Durham on March 2, 3, and 4, under the auspices of the Duke University chapter of the fraternity. Dr. Babcock is member-at-large of the national council and Guignard is president of the local chapter. Brown is a recent initiate of the fraternity. While at the convention the delegates from all over the country were entertained by the Duke chapter and the Duke Student Body at large. Addresses d Rotary Club organization of County Government in this state is nothing less than unintelligible confusion, and the natural consequence is that the County Government is without responsible executive control. It is a headless government, representing a diffusion of powers, duties and responsibilities. It is the finest possible system to engage in the great American sport of passing the buck," continued Dr. Derrick. Chester county was cited as an ideal way to run a County Government. For remedial measures Dr. Derrick offered those summed up by M. A. Wright of the South Carolina council. Internationally Harpist, Mi Dilling Comes To Chapel Thursday Night, Sponsored By University Concert Series Mildred Dilling, the internationally famous harpist, will appear at the University chapel Thursday evening, March 16, at 8:30 o'clock. Miss Dilling's appearance is one of the attractions offered this year by the University Concert Series and the season tickets of that organization will be good for her concert. Maurice Mattcson of the Department of Music announces that a special student rate of fifty cents will be made for University students only. All others must pay the regular rate of one dollar. Miss Dilling is an American by birth and she has won acclaim both in this country and abroad by the excellence of her playing. Her early musical studies were made in this country and later she studied in Europe under Renie, the famous harp teacher. Her European debut took place at the Salle Erard, Paris, and such was her initial success that she was immediately cn8aged for three gala concerts with the famous comedienne, Yvette Guilbert, at the Trocadero, the largest concert hall Baker Invited ToN. C.Meet To Consider Long Time Program For Extension Of Library Facilities Dr. L. T. Baker has recently been extended an invitation by Dr. Frank Graham, president of North Carolina University to attend a conference of Southern leaders at the University of North Carolina in April for the purpose of considering libraries, books, and reading in the South. The Southern leaders will consider conditions looking to the entrance in a long time program for the extension of library facilities in the Southern states. In his letter inviting him to the conference, Dr. Graham called attention to the fact that in most of the South, the small towns and rural areas especially, arc without access to libraries. He said that thoughtful consideration should be given to the library as the agency through which the stream of knowledge must be expected to reach all the people. v. 8. o. Pan-Hellenic Elects Officers In accordance with the new rule that the meetings of the girls' PanHellenic be held at the sorority houses from now on, the meeting was held at the Pi Beta Phi house, 1813 Divine street, at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon. After the business was concluded, light refreshments were served. The following officers were elected: Jane Bayard, Pi Beta Phi, president; Dena Citron, Sigma Delta Tau, vicepresident; Lucille Grant, Sigma Kappa, ' secretary, and Ruth Carter, Pi Delta Phi, treasurer. v. B. o. Many Telephone Calls Recorded At University Approximately 750 calls were made through the Carolina telephone exchange between 8:15 and 1 o'clock the night of the Carolina-Duke basketball game. At least 50 of the calls made on the this eventful night were to ask why the chapel bell was ringing. Other requests were for the score and the details of the game.

"This system would seem to enlivct and create a new spirit in the society,' he added.

Library (lets e Rare Volume c r Acquires Book Containing First Complete List Of Works Of Thomas Sully ^ A valuable book containing the first complete list of the works of Thomas Sully, ranked next to Gilbert Stuart as one of America's most famous portrait * painters, has been secured by the University library at a cost of $75, according to Dr. R. M. Kennedy, librarian. 2 This book is printed in a limited edition and contains a sketch of the painter's life and reproductions of many of his most famous portraits. r The Sully family, composed of four sons and five daughters, moved to Charleston when Thomas was nine years - old and lived there from 1792 until 1799. II After leaving Charleston, Sully joined - his brother, Laurence, a painter of miniature portraits, in Richmond, Va. e Shortly afterwards he studied under n Gilbert Stuart and finally made his per manent home in Philadelphia. Of Sully's famous paintings many y were of South Carolinians, notable 1 among which were: Joel R. Poinsett, Secretary of War in the Van Buren cab inet and the first United States minister y to Mexico; Gen. Andrew Pickens, of d Revolutionary fame; James L. Petigru, - statesman and lawyer, and Mrs. Charles Coatsworth Pinckncy. lack Ready ibution May 20 I "The beauty section will be composed c only of girls who actually attend the University," Walker emphasized. The _ editor himself realizes that since CaroUna has the most beautiful girls in the . South as students, this is the appropriate c place for choosing a beauty section. Boys f who persist in handing in pictures of n girls who do not attend Carolina are only wasting their energy, he continued. s The Garnet and Black has created an s entirely new section known as the "Fai vorites Section." In this section will be ? placed the photographs of popular and attractive girls attending the University. ,28 || uM
