CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA I' ^ " ' ' ' - . v .; Pep Meet Social Race UNIVERSITY OF Jt SOUTH CAROLINA Volnme XXVH, No. 2 COLUMBIA. B. 0., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1933 Founded 1908 Pan-Hellenic Decides On Stricter Rules Initiation To Be Sooner For Old And Transfer Students, Is Decided Drop A. D. Pi Charges Women Will Not Be Admitted To Fraternities Unless Properly Chaperoned Stricter rules in regard to girls visiting in fraternity houses and fraternity tenements were decided on by the faculty committee on fraternities and sororities, meeting in the office of the dean Monday. The committee also almost completely reversed the decision of PanHellenic in regard to the charges brought up against the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Initiation without waiting for the required semester will be allowed upperclassmen and transfer students. The rule for initiation of freshmen only after a semester in the University will be retained. The complete barring of women from 1 fraternity houses except on formal oc- ' casions properly chaperoned and for ' which permission has been given three 1 days in advance, was decided upon. The motion as passed by the com- ' mittee state, that "women hereafter be ( admitted to fraternity houses or fra- 1 ternity tenements only on formal oc- ' casions properly chaperoned. Approval of such formal functions shall be given ' by the chairman of the fraternity com- t mittee not less than three days in ad- 1 vance." The committee also decided to invite ? all fraternity and sorority house mothers * and hou^e fathers to meet at an early date for the clarification of regulations i governing houses and tenements. < Miss Mary Lees Graham and Miss Dena Citron appeared before the committee and made a statement concerning the recent ruling against the Alpha Delta ) Pi sorority, for alleged violation of rushing rules. Miss Sarah M. Boylston -i and Miss Miriam Lander were also heard. . "In view of the apparent confusion resulting from unwritten laws, the faculty committee recommends to the PanHellenic Council that they put all rules and by-laws in writing and file a copy j of such rules and by-laws, together 1 with their constitution with the chair- I man of the fraternity committee and with the registrar. No change in con- I stitution, by-laws or rules will be valid 1 until such change is reported and filed i as above indicated. In view of the afore- l said confusion the faculty committee I rules that the A. D. Pi sorority shall be permitted to resume bidding privileges ] on the 15th of November. Their initi- i ation will take place at the same time as ( that of other sororities," it was decided ; (Continued on Pace 4; Column 4) D. S. O. 1 Election Called 1 For Law Class < i A meeting of the junior law class was held in the law building Wednesday to : consider the question of electing a presi- i dent and vice-president of the class but I was adjourned until next week. The i move was made when John Mozingo, president, and Elliott Kctchin, vice-presi- I dent, elected at spring elections last year 1 failed to return to school this year. 1 After some debate it was decided to ] defer the matter until after the final i date for registration, this Saturday. There is still some possibility that one or < both will return to school and the class ! did not wish to take any action until some certainty as to the final plans of < Mozingo and Ketchin is obtained. Continuation Of Work By Bureau Is Planned < Work of the University press bureau, instituted last year, will be continued during the coming year according to an- 1 nouncement made this week by Dean J. Rion McKissick of the journalism * school. The bureau was instituted last year by Dean McKissick in conjunction i with his course in Journalism 35. Each 1 week mimeographed sheets of news con- ] cerr.ing activities at the University are 1 sent out to papers all over the state. | New Total 1317 Given Saturday Is Deadline More Students Enroll Than Was Expected; 89B Men And 422 Women Enrolment in the University for this semester had risen to 1,317 last Wednesday, three days before the last day of late registration period. All registrations must be over by Saturday, October 7 at noon and all changes of course must be made by that time. Those registering today and tomorrow will have to pay a late registration fee of five dollars. A fee of fifty cents per course is charged for all changes of course. The total for this week is 23 more than that of last week and several more students are expected before the end of the period. Of the total enroled so far 895 are men and 422 arc women. Last year 1664 students enroled for the first semester of whom 878 were men and 416 women. University facilities are being taxed to the limit this year due to the reduced appropriation and the smallness of the expected enrolment. The budget was passed with an expectation of only a 1000 students in the University for the irst semester this year and the great in:rease of actual over cxpected enrolnent is giving the authorities additional irouble in making ends meet. However, University authorities are manimous in their pleasure over the fact :hat the enrolment is so large and look forward to a very successful year. The total given includes students in ill the schools of the University and ill special students registered. The peak year for University enrolrient came year before last but has Iroppcd slightly the last two years. University Will Stop Poaching Rhame Talks In Chapel Special Rates Will Be Arranged For High School And University Students A movement against the prevalence of ?ate crashing at the High School and University games played in Columbia has !>een started by officials of the University and High School. Special rates will t>e arranged for high school students wishing to attend University games, and the same courtesy will be extended to University students wishing to attend high school games. Coach Rhame of Columbia High appeared in chapel Thursday and Friday to appeal to the Carolina students to cosperate in the efforts being made to do away with the evils of gate crashing. In the future University students wishing to attend high school games will i>c admitted at the center gate for 25 :ents. It will be necessary for the students to present athletic books in order to get this reduced rate. "It is not Elevating to see young men scampering about the fences and seeking ingress to the fields without paying the fees," said Dean F. W. Bradley, in remarking on the new plans. "The main trouble seems to be from those outside of the high school and University. When we arc sure about tx>th of these groups we can ask the people in Columbia to help in getting all to go through the gates. "Both athletic associations are in need :>f all gate receipts they can muster," he said. u. s. o. Fraternity Bids To Be In By Noon On Friday Fraternities must have their bids in to Mr. Chase by noon Friday, is the PanHellenic ruling made known by Randolph Johnson, secretary of the organization. Bidding will' be done by the Pan-Hellenic representatives in the chapel, beginning at 7 p. m. Monday. Silent period begins at 12 o'clock Saturday night, and will not end until after he meeting in the chapel Monday. Prospective pledges are warned not to converse with fraternity men during this period.

Crow, dean j ^ of the school of education of the Uni5 versity, at chapel Wednesday morning. Speaking on the subject "Origins of 1 the University of South Carolina," the ^ first in a series of lectures to be given ' ^ on the history and traditions of the 1 University by members of the faculty, < ^ the dean of education said. ] "Americans became interested in cdu- c ^ cation at an early date, but the idea of 3 a state-supported institution was unique s 5 here, and while other institutions may t ? have been founded earlier, this was j 3 South Carolina's important contribution," t ^ Georgia had the first state institution, ^ ? North Carolina the first to be opened, ( and Virginia the first to include other ^ than the fine arts in the curriculum, but < South Carolina has the distinction of * being the first ?to support and control a state institution, according to the dean. t "This is a holy place," Doctor Crow told the freshmen. "Underneath these trees and in these buildings were edu- 1 a cated men to wlwm we can point with * / , L pride. Heroes of the ante-bellum days, f and men whose names became great . through their deeds, lived here, perhaps 1 in the rooms you now occupy. This * university sheltered those who went before us in South Carolina's golden age.'' * e Dr. Crow, in conclusion, pointed out r s that the close relationship of the Uni- ^ ' versity to the state had always been * e maintained. "But the magnificent supe port of the citizens and the legislature of the early days has passed," he said.

Graham, Jr. a member of the rommittee in charge of the movement. A special training table will be set iside for the football players, expected o number around 25, and will operate :or a period of 18 days. Sponsors of he campaign are hopeful that by that ime sufficient enthusiasm will be aroused o provide further funds. It was pointed out that had the entire Student Body cooperated in the movenent a total of $305.00 would have been eceived. However, only about a third of he students actually participated. The campaign was the outgrowth of a ecent meeting of the Student Body in vhich the need for a special training ta>le was discussed. Under Southern Conerence ruling no institution making up ts membership is allowed to furnish the )layers with special meals. Dr. L. T. 3aker opened the contributions with a jift of $5 and B. A. Early, alumni secetary, also contributed $5. Each student vas asked to buy a tag for 25 cents, he slogan on which read, "100 per cent LJ. S. C. Supporter." The tags were sold on the campus jy representatives of various organizaions. The drive was initiated primarily to jet money to help out the stippers icrved to the team. It is claimed that he suppers now served in the dining lall are insufficient after hard prac:ices. The need has been felt par:icularly for milk and such like foods :o increase the food value of the ordilary meals. A large number of prominate coids engaged in the drive and helped riaterially in bringing it to a success:ul close. Stations were set up at the lole in the wall by Davis college and it the canteen in order that every student might be reached and nearly :very student on the campus was isked to contribute at least once. The members of the committee included he following: Druffus Griffin, in charge >f the campus; James Brailsford in barge of fraternities and sororities; "rank A. Graham, Mary L. Graham, Dave Ellison, Luke Williamson, Dena Citron, Betty llorton, John Bolt Culicrtson, and Louis Rosen.
