S. C. Beats Yale Orators Debators Prove Merit Brown and Williamson Win Audience's Decision Over Opponents L. A. Williamson of Aiken and J. Wiley Brown of Bishopvillc, arguing negatively the query: "Resolved that the president's power should be substantially increased as a settled policy," defeated Yale University in a recent auditorium decision debate. The Yale team, composed of R. S. Brown of Maryland and Walter Pforzheimer of New York, argued the affirmative. Richard Foster of Greenville pre- ( sided and Stanley Bryant was in charge of arrangements. Several hundred people were present, this being one of the largest audiences at any debate held on the campus in many years. Many persons not | understanding a last minute decision to | hold the debate in the university chapel instead of in Drayton hall, returned home instead of carrying out their plans to hear ( the arguments. . The debate last night was one of the 1 several being participated in by the Yale men while on a tour of the South. Brown of Carolina, past president of the Clariosophic literary society, won the Sylvan medal.in debating some time ago. lie is also past chapter president of Blue Key National honorary fraternity and holds numerous other honors. 1 Williamson was president of the uni- ' versity student body last year. lie won the Sylvan medal in debating last year, the i Gonzales oratorical medal his junior year, i and has represented his institution in the state oratorical contest. i "WHEN A NEEDS A COLLEGE MU5ICAL ^ CV=s 'f yOU'rC '' (ffsp \ ests of art V v\.

S. Salley, secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina, has secured much valuable historical material for the University," according to R. L. Meriwether, professor of history at the University. Among the donations was a memorial to Preston S. Iirooks, made by William C. Rion, a great-grandson of Mr. Drooks. The marble table, which had first been erected in a chapel on Mr. Brook's plantation, was moved after the Confederate War to an Episcopal Chapel at Ninety Six, later abandoned. The inscription 011 the tablet is as follows : "A tribute of tender love to the memory of Preston S. Brooks, born in Edgefield August 6, 1819, died in Washington City January 27, 1857. Cut olT in manhood's prime, without a moment's warning, he fell at the post of duty. Gallantly has he borne himself upon the battle field and in the council chambers of the nation won the applause of his constituents. The State has lost one of her most gifted and cherished sons and his family their pride and boast. "Short was the course this noble spirit run, How hard it is to say, 'Thy will be done." V. B. O. EDITOR Final touches arc now being put 011 the traditional Gamecock memorial which is placed each year in the Gamecock oflficc in memory of the Editor and Managing-Editor. Each year, just before these officers relinquish their posts a fitting memorial is carved on the editor's desk.

Prof. Grows Drug Plants The botanical garden planted by Proessor Strothcr of the Pharmacy School ontains a large number of native and orcign drug producing plants. He is exterimenting with different herbs in order o find if they can be grown on a comncrcial scale in the State. "Yellow Jasmine, the Stale flower, is ne of the most important drug plants in he world,' he said. "The roots arc used or rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches, evers, asthma, and nervousness. It is violent internal poison and should be landled carefully, especially when in ' iloom. " The dandelion is used widely as a tonic j nd as a laxative. The violative oil of the omnion Jerusalem oak is a remedy for ; ntcstinal parasites. , 1 he sap of the native sweet gum is < nadc into medicine for use for bronchitis, ' atarrli, asthma, scabies, and other skin i liscases. I lie bark of the dogwood is mployed as an astringent and to lower empcratures. Ginseng, the highest-priced herb grown, elling for five to twenty dollars a pound, las no medical value at all. 17. 8. O. DeMars Praises Collegiate Boxing "The college student is benefitted greaty by boxing," asserted Frankie DeMars, >?xiiig instructor at the University. "He s given a sound body and taught a high legrcc of coordination. Then, too, he earns high ideals of sportsmanship." "I do not think that the president of lie Southern Conference, Mr. Fletcher, s right in his views on collegiate boxing." He declared further. That collegiate boxing is a bloody ?pcctaclc and should be abolished is the opinion advanced recently by Mr. Fletchir. His comment has started a great controversy in collegiate athletic circles. "I played football for four years and boxed professionally for twelve years," said DeMars. "Yet the only serious injuries I received were those I got while playing football." "I cannot sec how anyone can think that the injuries of collegiate boxing can outweigh the l>eiicfits," he concluded. TT. B. p.. A leading paper in Italy comes out with a denunciation of the housefly. Who says the press under a dictator loses its aggressiveness? An opportunist is a man who, wheen left holding the sack, cuts it up and makes himself a suit of clothes. Don't let anyone high-hat you by bragging about his ancestors. Remind him that you have been descending just as long as he has. , ' . < \ . Campus Elections On Boom Soon With the election to the Athletic Advisory board acting as hardly more than m appetizer the annual spring political :ampaign will swing into full motion today with the election of the May Queen. Acting as a general feeler out the race today will show the beginnings of the ;ampus lineup in political matters and will give political leaders their first trial of strength. Much of the color of the race will be taken away this year by the new system of nominating candidates it is expected, but party leaders will be on hand in force and that blocks of votes will be traded in the traditional manner. With all its color and political dickerings, however, the May Queen race is never considered as a real expression of the general lineup and students will after today immediately gird up their loins and prepare for the race that generally tells the talc and is generally considered THE race, the student body election. Already several candidates arc advancing their organizations and the next two weeks will probably see a definite solidification of forces with the dropping out of several potential candidates and the probable entrance of several dark horses. As yet it is impossible to be sure of the various :andidates but advance dope tends to show that the race this year will be bitterly :ontested by several powerful candidates with a resulting split in many normal political allicnces. As yet the Cheer Leader race and the darnet and Black race have not come into jeneral consideration but already potential :andidates arc dickering for support from ;hc stronger political leaders. Class politics have not yet begun to get 11 full swing but there also a tremendous spirit is cxpccted in the next two weeks. Of less general interest but sometimes :qually as hotly fought the organization ilcctions will be carried on during the period between now and commencement ind arc liable to show most clearly the cal political lineups and successes of the >pposing parties. Today marks the turn of the normal ide of events in every school year, the urn from winter study and normal humIrum life to the whirl of political and social life that annually turns the stulent body upside down, and generally .hakes out the dust of a long winter. Unx>litically minded up to today the average student will now begin to think of candilates and smiles will appear 011 the faces )f candidates and political leaders that ,vill match the new spring sun. Politics came out of its shell today and s ready for its annual rampage. The nasters have been planning for months >ut the amateurs arc ready for their reguar field day.
