After pointing out that no nation was the victor in the last war lie claimed that the next war would so unbalance the economic stability of the world that our western civilization would probably be destroyed. He also claimed that the present economic situation was due to Fair Game Stu Reduct Lower Price Comes After Negot: Association Members. ] No Discrimim After successfully culminating a series of negotiations that have lasted for a period of years, the University authorities announced yesterday morning that the price of student tickets to the Clemson-Carolina football game next Thursday will be reduced to 44 cents from the usual cost of $1.10. Concessions on the part of the State Fair association were announced at the same time that will give equal treatment to the students of both institutions in the matter of admission to the fair grounds. The announcement concerning tickets came yesterday through the office of the activities administration after a telephone conversation between Dr. Ralph K. Foster and J. C. Littlcjohn, business manager of Clemson athletics. Dr. Foster stated that he had been working toward the total abolition of the extra fee for tickets but that since he saw no chancc of such a concession U.S.C. Band Has Contract First Time Since 1928, U. S. C. Band Awarded Contract To Furnish Music At Fair For the first time, since five years ago, the University Band has been awarded the contract to furnish concerts for the State Fair. Mr. Paul V. Moore, secretary of the fair stated that the association was delighted to make the contract, lie has heard the band on many previous occasions and was remarkably pleased with its music. This, he commented, will also carry out the therne of making the fair a 100% South Carolina product. Twenty men will be selected from the band membership by Dean George Olson, its conductor, to carry out this program. On Thursday, the day of 'he Carolina-Clemson game, this number will be increased to forty-live men, and will play as usual during the game.

He succeeds Theodore Duvall. Other officers clectcd were as follows: Vice-president, Henry Gooding; secretary, Belton Boyle; treasurer, Dwight Cathcart; assistant treasurer, Joseph McKeller; senior leader, John Marion; junior leader, Hobby Woods. At the same time plans were made for the opening German which will be held 011 Thursday night following the Clemson game. It has been planned to hold the affair in the gymnasium but no final plans can be made until after faculty action is taken on the proposal to transfer University functions to the field house. At the election of new members following the election of officers 59 new (Continued on Paoe 4; Column 5) speaks Disarmament the last war and pointed out that today between 75 and 90 per cent of the taxes of the world today arc spent to pay for' past wars or to prepare for future wars. In an address before the law school Monday at noon outlined the present trend in criminal law and deplored the modern tendence toward centralization in this field. I le also appealed for the reform criminal law by the bar itself. "The bar today has an absolute monopoly on the legal trade," he said, "but if it cannot prove capable of governing itself it deserves to have its monopoly taken away." Ldent Fee ni To 44 Cents Lations By Faculty And Athletic j*onner Price Was $1.10 ition At Gate he was accepting the compromise move. A short time previously it had been announced by fair authorities that this year students of the University will be admitted to the fair ground at a rate of 25 cents. Tickets at this rate can be obtained only upon presentation of activities books at the canteen. In the past it has been the custom to admit Clcmson students in uniform to the fair grounds at the reduced rate, while University students were forced to pay the regular admission. By eliminating these two bones of contention authorities hope that much friction will be reduced between the various parties concerned. A constant iciisiuu nas ueen icit tor the past several years and University students even attempted court action last year.

The omission comes as a result of the depleted treasury faced by the Social Cabinet when its portion of the student activity fee was drastically reduced by the Hoard of Trustees last June. In the past it has been the custom to allow each letterman on the team to select a sponsor to represent him and this year there are more lettermen back than there have been in years. Each sponsor has been given flowers and candy but the Social Cabinet states that its treasury will not be able to meet such an expense this year. A protest was filed with the faculty committee on social activities but no action has been taken, the committee holding that it has no jurisdiction in such a case. No statement lias been released officially by the Social Cabinet but it is expected that the matter will see no further action. Dr. Ralph K. Foster, chairman of the faculty committee, in a statement Wednesday, said that he did not see where his committee could take any action in this case and stated that he did not see where the Social Cabinet could be forced to carry the burden of the sponsors when the money was not in the treasury. < In the past, the entrance of the 1 sponsors has been one of the most colorful events of the classic. Just ' before the game started they would ( march on the field, each one carrying ' a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Their ' entrance was always a signal for a ! burst of cheering from the Carolina stands. ' The sponsor chosen by the captain of the Gamecock team was usually photographed on the field and her picture sent out to the newspapers through out the South. The picture was also reproduced in the Garnet and Black. It is understood that this omission is mererly temporary. If the social cabinet has sufficient funds next year sponsors will again be chosen. Geology Department Gets Ha/ndsomfi "Brink A very handsome book, entitled "The Ccphalaspids of Great Britain," has been presented the geology department of the , University by the British Museum, London, England. This book by Erik Anderson Stensio, would cost about fifteen dollars in the United States and thus be beyond the reach of the library of the geology department. "However," said Dr. Tabcr, head of the department and South Carolina state ' geologist, "we have a constantly growing library due to the fact that geology departments all over the country are constantly exchanging books, reprints, and articles." V. 8. O. Temporary Ban On Gym Dances All University dances will be banned from the gymnasium until final action has been taken by the faculty committee on social functions and an effort will be made to transfer all functions in the future to the University field house. The action came after a protest was made by John A. Crawford, director of physical education for men, after a series of vandalisms committed at the last gym dance held by the Social Cabinet. Crawford, in commenting on the .action, stated that the action was not taken becausc of what happened at the last gym dance alone but because of a long series of such acts. He said that a large wrestling mat costing $300 had * - (Continued on Pag* I; Column ) Students Selec Worthy And New Ca < Junior Law Elections Held Last Wednesday Heyward Clarkson was elcctcd president of the junior law class and J. C. Dupre was elected vice-president at a special meeting of the class held Wednesday in the law building. Both are from Columbia.
