Questionnaires to be Distributed
Throughout University to Determine
Student's Attitude
President L. T. Baker has been
selected a member of the Advisory
Board of the American Youth Congress,
of which some of the most outstanding
educational leaders throughout
the South and Middle West are
members, according to information, received
from A. Y. C. headquarters, at
Louisville, Ky.
The first American Youth Congress
formed by youth leadex-s throughout
the United States with Mrs. Roosevelt
as Chairman of the Advisory Board,
is endeavoring through a survey made
throughout the South and Middle
West to arrive at a definite program
as to the solution of the problems for
the young people of the nation. Nonpolitical
and non-sectarian, the Congress
takes no stand other than the
preservation of the ideals of democracy
as opposed to Dictatorship,
Communism, or any ism contrary 1o
Americanism.
A conference of repi'esentatives
from youth organizations, colleges and
universities throughout the South will
be held in April during Spring Vacation
at which time some of the Nation's
outstanding leaders will address
the group on suggestions of importance
to themselves.
The Advisory Board consisting of
the Governor of most of the southern
states and the presidents of state
universities and colleges, is lending
its support in this endeavor. Believing
that because of the existing conditions
when thousands of young men
are walking the streets without any
empl vment the organization realized
its real need for existence to aid the
youths of the nation.
Among the prominent speakers will
be Bernard McFadden, of New York,
who has shown a lot of interest and
given much help to the problems of
youth. The Governors of some of th->
states have also been invited and it
is hoped that Mrs. Roosevelt will open
the Congress. She has shown her
definite co-operation in the problem*
confronting young people today, and
through her support much favorable
comment and attention has been attracted
towards its efforts. I
Questionnaires will be distributed
throughout the University and each
student is asked to co operate be answering
to the best of his ability as
he feels they will affect him or her.
Thus far representatives of the
American Youth Congress, have visited
eighteen states for the Southern
Congress, and at the end of the survey
will have approximately 200,000
questionnaires from colleges, universities,
and youth organizations to
present to the Federal Government
for the establishment of a program
for this movement.
This organization is non-political
and non-sectarian, but it maintain *
that the present system of government
should be modified to meet conditions
that have arisen to create
problems as to the future of the
younger generation.

Tragic Death Ends
Brilliant Career

with thirteen charter members, one of
which was Allen Rollins. He was active
in the sports world and esteemed
by everyone for his ability and aptitude
as a sports writer.
The journalistic world ,the sports
world, especially, and his own school
which was the training ground for his
newspaper career mourned his death
greatly as was shown in the many
editorials and write-ups that were
written throughout the state and
North Carolina, following his death.
From one who was both his educator
and friend, Dean J. Rion McKissick,
of the University school of journalism,
said:
"In. uncommon ability and aptitude
for newspaper work, as well as in
character, Allen Rollins was one of
our most outstanding graduates.
"Industrious, modest, loyal, hignminded,
by his fine manliness he won
the confidence and the high opinion
of those who knew him.
"Proud of their association with
him, the school of journalism and the
university sorrow that the end has
come, in this world, a career so promising
and a life so worthily lived."
From the Associated Press came
the words that characterized his untimely
death:
"The good die young."

Don McCallister Royally
Received; Asks for Fullest
Co-operation
Don McCallister, newly elected head
coach for Carolina, was showered with
praise and guaranteed that every
Carolina man, woman and child in |
the state was behind him, at a banquet
given in his honor at Jefferson
Hotel, Monday night.
Almost everybody of importance in
the field of sports in. South Carolina
was present at the banquet and gave j
the young mentor an overwhelming j
send-off for spring football training.
From the Governor of the state to
the captain of the Columbia football
team, wishes of luck poured.
To all this McCallister said: "I j
have never been received anywhere
like this and I appreciate it more than
I can tell you. But I'm not unaware
that your enthusiasm right now is
secondary to our job at Carolina and
I want to ask your fullest co-operation;
without it I can't do much."
Perhaps one of the best speeches of
the evening was that of Sid Tomlinson,
city engineer, representing the
Rotary Club, who topped it off with
this:
"If you beat Clemson in this state
you can run for governor ... If
you don't beat Clemson, come on over
to my house, and I'll help sneak you
out of town."
