Hamilton Inaugun As Euphradian Head Says That Literary Societies Have Suffered At The Hands Of Social Fraternities "In the last few years the literary societies have suffered greatly at the hands of other organizations on this campus, the chief of which is the social fraternity," declared David Hamilton, Chester, student in the University law school, on assuming the presidency of the Euphradian Society last Tuesday night, in his inaugural address before that body. Hamilton succeeds L. A. Williamson, Aiken, senior in the law school and former president of the student body. "Since the coming of these social fraternities, many hoys have lived in fraternity houses and are so busy attending fraternity meetings that they do not have time to attend the meetings of the literary society. I belonged to a social fraternity before I joined the Euphradian literary society. I can truthfully say that if 1 had to choose between one or the other, I would choose the literary society. The benefit which I have derived from the Euphradian literary society far surpasses any benefit which I have derived from the social fraternity or any other organization 011 this campus. I do not condemn the social fraternity?it has its place on the campus also." In his exaugural address, L. A. Williamson pointed out the historic instance of an obscure member of the society who failed to participate in the regular debates but who later became a famous surgeon and gynecologist, J. Marion Sims. He also stated that the advantages of the society might not be reaped while at school but that one could reap them in later life.

Williamson declared invaluable his experience as president, ant thanked the society for aiding him ii that realization. He was voted a rising vote of thank: in recognition of the efficient mannei in which he conducted his term a: president. In his inaugural address the incom ing president David Hamilton, re viewed the origin and early history o the society. He pointed out the influ ences of the society in producing grca men and revealed the many names that command historic distinction, citing Wharton, Bratton, Cantcy and Floyd generals in the Confederate Army, Mil ler, Richardson, Hammond, Manning and J. Peter Richardson II., as forme governors of South Carolina; four gov crnors each of Virginia, North Caro lina, Alabama, and Florida; four sena tors of the United States; a Secretary of War and a minister to Spain. Six teen members of this society have be j come members of the South Carolin; bench, among them Harper, Hudson Fraser, and Mclvcr. Hamilton then pledged himself l; serve the society. He proposed several changes in tlv constitution, declaring himself agains Australian balloting, and pointing oil that voting by roll call p : no roon for political double-crossing. He alsi offered an amendment providing tha no one vote by proxy. He cited th advantage of retaining minor offices saying that it offered chance for young ir members to be rewarded for faith ful service in the society.

New Dramatic Club Will Put On Production By All-Male Cast A one act farce play, will he presented on the junior-senior prom program p by the newly-formed Carolina Dramatic Club, when that occasion occurs r some time in March, the club president Herbert Schreiber announced this week. An all male cast, the play treats very amusingly the tribulations - of a director on the night before his efforts are revealed on stage. All e actors assure the "coach" that all is in e readiness. Like all directors he figura? tivcly tears his hair, and deep lines of - anxiety spread over his countenance, - The play ends as the curtain is drawn r back for the theoretical .production. Extensive rehearsals and casting for the spring programs of one act plays t have been going on this week. The s first dramatic card will consist of three one act plays. Coming about the midI die of March, they probably will be k staged in Drayton Hall. An admission s charge of 25 cents for students and 50 s cents for outsiders has been decided s upon. II The cast has already been selected for "The Man in The Bowler Hat," by c A. A. Milme, which is described by the publishers as "a terribly exciting affair." Charles Karl Simons will be the ^ hero, with Virginia Gasque as the heroc ine. Bufort Mabry will portray "John;" 1 Eliza Hunt, "Mary:" the darker phase L> will be brought out by R. VVilmot L* Brown as the chief villain, and Fred ^ YVcissman as the "Bad Man." Appearing the same night will be two more plays, "Submerged" by H. Stuart Cottman and LeVergne Shaw, and probably "Col-de-sac" by Essex Dane. About 35 minutes is required r for presentation of each play. An informal discussion of the relation of drama to fundamental princi' pits of psychology took place last night ^ at the regular weekly meeting. The aim of the club was to be definitely i mapped out.

Stu1 dents in general feel that the professor is, through his own attitude, responsi5 hie in a large measure for any cheatr ing that occurs. If he makes it clear s to the class that lie personally abhors cheating and takes pride in the fact - that his class, individually and collec tively, is above any such practice, then f he is going to find a ready response " from his students and determination on 1 their part to live up to as, high a standard of honor as he chooses to set for ' them." I'ndcr the present system each student signs a double pledge, the first " part of which attests that he has par1 ticipated in no cheating, the second that he has observed no irregularities. If the second section is not signed on ; Juniors Meet On Tuesday 3 Members of i.ie junior class are requested to remain after chapel next e Tuesday morning in order that some t definite plans for the junior-senior ret ception may be formulated, class pres, ident Werber Bryan announced this , week. t If no reasons to the contrary are L. brought forth at the meeting the annual entertainment will take placc . around March 15. A class survey, for . the purpose of determining the numbet who observe Lent, will be made next Tuesday morning. If the number warrants the date will be changed.

Book Written By Professor Santa-Anna Biography i This Volume Latest In Series To Be Published By Dr. W. H. Gallcott A Biography of Santa-Anna is the i latest of a series of books on Mexican and Latin-American history to be writ- *1 ; ten by Dr. W. H. Callcott, professor of history at the University. The vol- ?j ( tune will probably be published in the fall of 1935. > Santa-Anna was one of Mexico's most i colorful characters, in that he fought his way to the presidency of that Rei public five different times, was a lover c of many women, and gained fame as a bandit and a general. For seven weeks last summer, Dr. i Callcott was in Mexican private and t] public libraries securing information. ^ ' Time was also spent on the Mexican's r. ranch, which contained at one time t| more than :i50,000 acres of land. Santa-Anna is best known in the United States for leading the invasion of a new conquest of Texas. He also i defended Mexico City against the great ' American General Scott. "Although a statesman and fighter, ^ Santa-Anna had a tender heart, in some respects," Dr. Callcott said. "On two ? occasions he visited prisoners of war , in Mexico and released youngsters whose looks he liked. He later adopted one of the boys he had released." v "Gamecock fighting was one of the general's favorite past-times. He had ^ hundreds of them 011 his ranch and en- 1. joyed exceedingly, seeing them kill one another. He was 110 miser by any means. At one time, he fed the entire Mexican army from his personal savings. He would, leave any social enjoyment for war?it was his sole passion." As a lover of women he was in the same category with Don Juan. Approximately 41 days after his first wife died, he was married again. Everywhere he went the women flocked to see him. Internal improvements were the main achievement of the bandit-gen- 1 (Continued on Page 5; Column 3) TEM WORKS JRING EXAMS j OURAGING SIGNS THAT THE ARE COOPERATING BETTER EGARD TO HONOR SYSTEM a particular paper, the professor is thus informed that something out of the way has been observed. The student refusing to sign the pledge is then requested, but under no circumstances forced, to divulge the name of the miscreant. Each class deals with any offender as it sees fit. A committee of three members was appointed by the president of the Alumni Association last June to investigate the honor system 011 the campus and to report their findings within a year. '1 hese men, each of whom has the confidence of the entire body, arc Douglas McKay, Esq., of Columbia, Angus McAuley, Esq., of Chester, and M. A. Wright, Ksq., of Conway. They attended the first meeting of the faculty in September and presented the views of the Alumni Association, expressing a keen interest in the tradition of the honor system and a willingness to cooperate in any way possible.
