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 ;

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.

Crow Talks
On Education .
> Lectures In Chapel *
South Carolina First To Have \
j School Supported And Con)
trolled By State
^ South Carolina gave to the nation the i
idea of the state as a sponsor of educa- '
^ tion, declared Dr. Orin F. 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. '

Bnough Funds Secured To Keep
Special Table For Players
About 18 Days
In the campaign held Monday and
ruesday for funds to supplement reguar
meals of the football players, a total
>f $127.35 was secured, according to
Prank A. 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,

Dr. Taber is an authority on earthluakes
and had written numerous aricles
on the subject. He mapped out
