Pan-Hellenic V To Deck Will Honor Pledges Gamecocks To Play For Dance; Hew Pledges Will Be Exempt From Assessment The exact date of the regular fall Pan-Hellenic dance will be decided at ^ a meeting of the Pan-HeHenic council 1 to be held Monday night immediately after pledging of new metir takes place. 1 The dance will be held next week and the exact date will be announced to the various fraternities on the campus. This year's Pan-HelleniG will be un- 1 usual in that it is planned to make it 1 an affair in honor of the new pledges. 1 In the past it has been customary to 1 give the first dance a little later iji the * season and all men, actives ; and 1 pledges alike have been assessed but this year new pledges will be exempt 1 from any assessment. i Though definite arrangements have * not been made yet, pending final action by the Pan-Hellenic council, the dance will probably be held in the gym as formally. Present plans arc for the 1 Carolina Gamecocks to furnish the ^ music. J It is planned to assess each man fifty 1 cents or about, to cover the costs of ( the affair. ' Members of the committee in charge are Baynard Whaley, Alpha Beta; ' Dave Ellison, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; 5 and Frank Gibbes, Pi Kappa Alpha. 1 U. B. o ( Old Manuscript Records Founding < In, Carlisle Papers j Describes Organization Of First ^ Alumni Association At University A manuscript was found recently a among the papers of the late Dr. r Jamds H. Carlisle of Spartanburg re- t cording the organization of the first c alumni association of the University I of South Carolina, then known as the South Carolina College. Governor John L. Manning acted as chairman of this first meeting and c W. C. Preston was president. r This old manuscript contains the 1; original constitution as first presented t for approval. According to Article I of the Con- c stitution all persons are eligible for 1 membership in alumni association who f; have received the degree of master of ? arts at the South Carolina College, v or who hold an honorary from this ( institution, members of the board of F trustees and faculty of the OfDllege. c It is interesting to note that only n two degrees, bachelor and master of s arts are mentioned in this constitution, implying that only two were conferred by the University at that time. The growth and expansion of the } University is illustrated by the varied \ number of degrees offered now. I The annual alumni luncheon or ] dinner is a custom provided for by d the Constitution in Article V. c Article VIII provides that any of the articles may be repealed, added to 1 or amended at any time of the regular t annual meeting by the majority of the I members present. 1 It is to be hoped that the present alumni association uphlods the lofty ( ideals of the first officers. ( The old records mention the noble character, interest, sincerity and efficiency of the first president.
