Prominent Law Student May :
Succeed Dunlap To Senate,
According To Rumor
A possible candidate for the state
Senate, according to an article in the
Fort Mill Times, ^'is Buford Worthy,
Junior in the University of South
Carolina Law School and state legislator
from Rock Hill, if the rumored *
resignation of the present senator from '
York County, Walter M. Dunlap, be- (
comes a fact. ,
The article says that there is a rumor (
that Senator Dunlap will resign in
order to devote full time to his law
business, which will need his undivided *
attention since the recent death of his *
brother, a member of the firm of Dun- 1
lap and Dunlap. The report has it
that the resignation will be handed in j
in time for a successor to be nomi- t
natcd in the 1934 primaries. j
Others who will be probable candi- a
dates are Raymond Hildcbrand of ]
York, also a member of the General ?
Assembly, and Dr. Thomas N. Dunlin. \
Boarding Hons

By John A. Bigham t
According to those who ought to ?
know, the life of the student-waiter in f
certain local boarding houses is very (
much similar to that of a convict do- 1
ing time in Sing Sing. The average ?
student is as much attached to his eat- 1
>ng hang-out, as he is to his best girl i
except in a different way, and the fel- f
low who waits on the table must be a t
diplomat and a magician, all at the
same time. a
For the purpose of getting to the r
very bottom of the whole matter and c
threshing out the differences between I:
corn[>read and the eternal grits, it was s
our privilege last week to discuss the 1
matter openly and candidly with Gar- t
land Douglas, dean of the corps of t
waiters at a nearby boarding house, i
As to manners, Douglas philosophied \
as follows, "I find that inevitably the s

Registration
Feb. 21 Is Last Day
After This All Changes In Schedule
Will Necessitate Customary
Fee
1 lie last day on which students may
register for the second semester is
next Wednesday, February 21, according
to an announcement by Registrar
John A. Chase. This date is also the
last chance for students to change their
class schedule without paying the usual
fee assessed for such change.
As registration closed Wednesday,
the total students registering had
reached 1,223, an increase of 45 over
the total recorded last Wednesday dur|
mg the first week of registration.
Among those who registered today
was John Rowland, guard on the
Gamecock quintet, who has been confined
to the infirmary with measles.
The total enrollment at the University
for the second semester of the
college year 1933-34, 1,226 is somewhat
under that of the first semester of this
school year. The total of the first
semester according to figures of the
registrar is 1,344, which is one hundred
and eighteen above that of this semester.
A decrease occurring almost every
second semester of the school year
was anticipated.
The classification of students of the
University as to sex will be given in
the next issue of The Gamecock.

Letters
We add to our collection of interesting
blunders the following:
A certain young freshman co-ed
was being rushed by the Zeta Tau
Alpha sorority. The freshman, it
seems, was a devoted member of
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Church, and wishing to
make a pure impression, she began
discussing religion with a member
of the sorority. They talked and
talked and found themselves to be
in unusual harmony as far as religious
questions went. The little
freshman, feeling that she had discovered
a soul-mate, enquired of
the older girl, "Are you an A. R.
P?" Whereupon the other sniffed
contemptuously, "Why no indeed,
I'm a Z. T. A.!"
Did You Know:
That there arc two Richard Thompsons
connected with campus affairs?
One is censor of the Euphradian Literary
Society and the other is janitor
of the Sigma Nu fraternity house.

Definite allotment of $1,875 a month
of federal relief money for student self
help at the University was announced
Wednesday by President L. T. Baker.
'1 he money will provide for jobs for
125 students at an average monthly
pay of $15.
Eighty-five new men and forty
old students will be put to work
under the federal aid plan between
the 15th and 18th of this month according
to a statement by R. G. Bell.
No further applications will be
accepted after Friday at 3 o'clock,
because of the large number already
received. 1

Applications for employment under
this allotment arc now being received
by R. G. Bell and Dean Irene Dillard.
All applications must be received by 3
o'clock this afternoon and definite announcement
of appointments will be
made between the 15th and 18th of
this month.
The number of jobs alloted to students
at the University represent 10
per cent of the total full time enrolment
in the University on October 1,
1933. The jobs will be apportioned
proportionately between men and
women according to ihe ratio of enrolment.
80 men will be employed and
45 women.
According to the terms of the allotment
75 per cent of the students
must be old students and 25 per cent
must be matriculates or students returning
to school after having dropped
from school. To be in the latter category
it is necessary that the student
not have been enrolled in the University
on January 1, 1934.
The work to be done will be both
scholastic and manual. Upperclassmen
will receive the majority of the purely
scholastic work. The work done will
be of the character usually done by
students gaining employment from the

knowledge which he loved and of his

was justly proud. But pious, affectionate,

too great for him and in his junior
year when lie looked forward, and deservedly
to the first honors of his
