Alumni Assoc Continue With Football Season Over, Asso Rest Of Year. Express* His Unfailing L The Alumni Association of the Uni vcrsity of South Carolina, now thai football season is over, will contimn to function in spite of the criticism oi those who say it is an organization tie voted to athletics alone. There ar< now living several thousand formci students of the University, and all o them do not think alike on any on< subject, lots of them arc for athletic! and football in particular, lots of then are against athletics and football ir particular. The Alumni Association is for them all regardless of their likes and dislikes. During the past season and in othei seasons we have stressed the importance of the members of the Alumn Association who did like football tc exercise their privilege as members ol the association in the matter of securing the football tickets that they as members of the association were entitled to get, and that has been oui principal interest in the football sea son. We have no apologies to mak< for taking that stand, and that intcresl that we have shown for our members who do like football certainly is nc ground for the criticism that tin Alumni Association is organized foi Athletics alone. The Alumni Association docs no exist to promulgate the individual 01 small group opinion of its member ship. The officers are always glac to get criticisms of the work of th< Alumni Association from its members and have sent out letters asking fot those criticisms, but when a criticism comes in it should have some foundation in fact, and evidence to support such facts. Some of the criticisms ol the Alumni Association from alumni who had never been members of the association nor have ever lifted a hand in defense of the University have been absolutely without a scintilla of truth to support them. The Alumni Association for the past six years has been a Democratic organization of former students of the University of South Carolina. It has attended to its own business and stood ready to serve when called upon. The Alumni Association feels that it has nothing to do with the direction ?and management of any department of the University, the faculty and the ^ trustees arc handling that end of it. o The Alumni Association docs not o get behind any candidate for a position si at the University whether it be for a j>; place on the faculty or in any other 2 department. The Alumni Association can not j circularize the alumni to promote busij ness schemes of individual or groups || of alumni. The Alumni Association is not responsible for everything that does not go to please individual alumni, whether that be of an athletic or literary nature. These are just a few things that come up during the course of the collegiate year. It would really surprise the average alumnus if lie could know and analyse the different things that the alumni organization is expected to do during the year. We are sent plans of great movements that would only cost around ten thousand or more dollars per year, but never are we sent the money or shown how to raise it. All these things just come up during the regular course of our years' program. If we could attend to all that we arc requested to do we should certainly be very happy, but unluckily for us our financial resources are not strong enough for us to cover everything. So we do the best that we can with what we have. The Alumni Association now that the football season is over feels that it has done its part toward its members and will turn to other things. Dr. H.D.Phillips To Talk To Y "The Contribution of Youth," the last of a series of talks run by the Y this year on Creative Living, is the subject to be discussed by Dr. Henry Phillips, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, Sunday night in the University chapel. Doctor Phillips has spoken many times at the University. His personality and character is well known on our campus. He was an all-Southern football tackle at Sewanee a number of years ago, and a one time president of the S. I. A. A. before the split mto the two conferences. George Davis, president of the Carolina Christian Service club will preside over the meeting. Douglas Dudlej and William Richardson will also tak< part in the program. iation Will & In Good Work ciation Turns To Other Things For Tj1 38 Thanks To Willard For r oyalty And Spirit C( The setting aside of special sections t for the members of the association ; was not done as a lever to force alumni f to join the association, but simply as - a courtesy to those who bad joined '"t ; the association. The plan lias been {a r in operations at larger colleges and 3 f universities for many years, the Uni- "j. ; versity of South Carolina adopted it ; only four years ago. T Jo i So after all the criticisms arc in and tn ' the critics have had exploited their i views from a personal viewpoint, we D i find tbat the Alumni Association is sti still in existence and that it stands for Ti the same things that it has always th . stood for, Democratic Rule by the th i Members of the Association.

Much 1 favorable comment has been heard from alumni from all points of the t state who attended the football games during this season.

I Gridgraph To Relay Game To Show Auburn Game Dr. Penny To Reproduce Grid Classic On Machine At Field House Saturday A grid-graph reproduction of the Auburn game will he given in the Field House Saturday during the grid classic in Birmingham. As usual, Dr. Penny will operate the device. '1 he grid-graph was introduced to the students of the University of South Carolina for the first time this year, and in the two of three performances so far has been very popular. The students have become very enthusiastic, cheering almost as much as at the actual games. 1 he machine is in the form of a football gridiron, and actually reproduces each play as it occurs on the field. The plays arc sent by wireless to the operator in the Field House, and he manipulates the lights on the board. It is a surprisingly realistic representation of the actual game. Because of the interest being shown by the University students, the Theater is offering special group rates to the University. These rates have not yet been made available.
