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

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

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

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

on March 2, 3, and 4, under the

Dr. Babcock is member-at-large of

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.
