Alumni Cente On Hoi Lnncheon And Meeting For Gradu Furman Football Game Homecoming' 1 Alumni interest throughout the state is being centered on Homecoming Day, Saturday, November 18. The alamni office has received a great many letters indicating that alumni throughout this state, and nearby states, will be on hand for Homecoming Day. This will be the seventh fall Homecoming Day for University alumni. The two outstanding events of the day will be a luncheon, to be held in the ball room of the Hotel Columbia, which is only three blocks away from the University campus. This luncheon will be. held at 11:45 sharp and adjourn at 1:15, giving plenty of time for the alumni to drive out to the Fair grounds for the football game, which will be played at cither 2:00 or 2:30 o'clock, the football game being the other event of the day. The luncheon and meeting to be held at the Hotel Columbia will be presided over by Claude N. Sapp, president of the alunmi association. A program of short talks will be indulged in by alumni and distinguished guests, who will be present at this luncheon. As stated in a previous article, the fall Homecoming Day meeting is purely a social one, and no business or other discussions will be entered into. All alumni, whether members of the association or not, are invited to attend this meeting, and it* is hoped that a large number of reservations for plates at the luncheon will be made at the alumni office before the middle of next week. Secretary Early wants the alumni, who intend coming to this meeting, to write him as early as possible and make reservations so that he will know in time how many to prepare for. The object of a Homecoming Day is to have all interested alumni assemble together and renew friendships fwith former colleges mates, and, at the same time, swap ideas and opinions on alumni activities that would benefit ^ the University as a whole. Such mcctings have been very successful in the past, and after each of these meetings the secretary has always received valuable suggestions and information by mail from those, who have attended . the meeting. To indicate the misconception some g alumni have of the real works and ' functions of the alumni association the following letter is quoted: "Dear Sir: Your repeated invitations to me to join the alumni association are much appreciated. Rut I do not drink, neither am I sufficiently interested in football to help subsidize a professional player. And as these seem to be the only functions of the association?at least, so far as public knowledge goes?I can see no reason for becoming a member. Should the association ever desire to help the University, it can count on my wholehearted and enthusiastic cooperation." The function of the alumni association is confined to no particular activity of the University, but is an organization dedicated to service for the University, the board of trustees of the University, the faculty, and each and every department of the University. The alumni feel that by organization and speaking through an organization they can best serve their 'Uncle Fruit'" Finds Fame Uncle Fruit, gardener at the University, has a grievance against somebody or something?somewhere. There is an advertisement in the October 14 issue of The Saturday Evening Post and the October 30 issue of Time using a picture that resembles Mr. Tinman very much. Many people noted the similarity immediately upon seeing the picture. * Uncle Fruit laughed when he saw his likeness in the magazine. "Where the dickens did they get that picture? I think I'll have to sue somebody," he said jokingly?then, seriously, after a sidelong glance, "It does look like me sure enough." He said that already several people had shown him the photograph and that one lady had given him the picture from her magazine. About 12 years ago Mr. Toal of Columbia sent a photograph of Mr. Tinman to a photographer's contest in New York. The photo, of Uncle Fruit, which won the prize, is now hanging in 'Foals' studio on Main street. Mr. Tinman is an English gardener and knows a great deal about decorative plants. L a=SS t Interest ; necoming Day ates To Be Held At Hotel Columbia T To Climax Seventh Fall Jay For Alumni ^ i Alma Mater. Criticisms have come from time to time of the alumni association from alumni, who have had perI sonal views on one single activity. For N instance on the much mooted question w of athletics. '1 he alumni office has re- _r ' ceived criticism for some alumni, who . claim that the alumni association was not doing enough for athletics, while, on the other hand, criticisms have been received, saying that the alumni as- b< sociation was organized for the main ta purpose of promoting athletics, and athletics alone. The position of the officers and members of the alumni association is tu that outlined above. The association ^ docs not advertise its work, which is pi conducted in forty-six counties of the fr state, and in other stales, nor is it sc ashamed of any cooperation that it has given, whether this cooperation has been given to athletics or any other th department. The association is for m the University and does not voice the fr opinion of individual alumni, but on Si the other hand speaks for the alumni dc s a whole. All alumni arc on an equal basis in the eyes of the officers of the th alumni association and the association or while always glad to receive criticisms th from any alumnus cannot set the pro- fu gram or its spirit to suit every indivi- at dual alumnus. m At the annual meeting of the alumni m association, which was held June 13, hi 1933, President Baker included in his ha address the following remarks, which to indicate that the officers of the alumni op association are cooperating, in every di way possible, with him, as president ' of the University: "I feel if I did not er have Barney Early by my side, in or daily contact with him, I would be sh sunk in administering the University's sti affairs." ro ?1953, liggitt ac mra* Tobaooo < \ Smith Writes I For Journal )isputes Old Theory ? rticle On "Magnetic Ores Of 1 New Jersey Published In "Economic Geology" "The Magnetic Ores of Northern cw Jersey" is the title of an article c rittcn by Dr. Laurence L. Smith, ( ofessor of Geology at the University, t the November issue of the magazine a economic Geology." The article is t ustrated with sketches of the ore t jdies and with photographs of them ken through a microscope. ^ Geologists have heretofore believed i at iron ores were deposited by solu- ^ dus which dissolved their way up irough the rocks, but Dr. Smith has t oven that the ores were deposited p om solutions, coming from a deep >urce and migrating upward under c cssure, which thrust the rock walls >art. Minerals along the contact of i ie ore body, in thin slides under the iscroscope, actually show minute actures and bendings which Dr. mith believes prove that the ore was s ;posited under great pressure. It Dr. Smith's studies were made in c e iron mines of northern New Jersey, ( ie of the oldest mining regions in c United States?the oldest charcoal t rnace of any record being erected r Oxford, N. J., in 1742. Over forty j( ines in this region have produced ore than one thousand tons each of p gh grade magnetite ore, and several t ive produced more than one million j ns. At present, three mines# are >erating in the northern New Jersey strict. The ore bodies throughout the northn New Jersey district, like similar 1 ics in the Adirondacks are lens- c aped, and are conformable to the r ructure of the inclosing genissic I: cks.

Doctor Babcock has received national recognition and been highly praised for his stories, in that he has sold the British rights to three of them, and an editor is contemplating making a :ompilation of the stories in book form. Also, he has had. many requests by editors for permission to reprint several of the stories. The type of story that Doctor Babcock is most interested in is outdoor stories. They all run from 3000 to 0000 words in length. In a current issue of "Outdoor Life," there appears an interesting story written by Doctor Babcock, titled, "The American Antelope," and also in the same issue is carried an advance box notice of his next story, to appear in the forthcoming issue of the publiIF YOU WANT ?-?X10 PROTOQRAPHS FOR J2.00 COME TO Blanchard's Studio 1322 Main St. Columbia, S.
