CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA I etitions s ^ A'wlii Long's Manager German ///(' C JfInterviewed UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Volume XXVIII, No. 18 COLUMBIA, S. C.f FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1935 Founded 1908 " == . ==Ms; GERMAN Mil ASKS I In Petition To Faculty Wish Constitution Of German Club Filed With Dr. R. K. Foster A petition hearing the demand that (lie constitution of the German Club be filed with Dr. R. K. Foster, director of student activities at the university was recently placed with the faculty. The petitioners further demanded that the Committee on Student Organizations approve certain clauses to he inserted in the constitution of the German Club to protect the minority group. This demand arose as the result of a recent meeting of the German Club in which the officers of the club failed to put in an appearance. Kor some time there has been a spirit of unrest on the campus concerning the German Club, which was brought to a head in a recent letter of President Baker to the fraternities controlling the German club and advising reform from within. Last week a meeting of the club was called and despite a large attendance, the officers failed to appear and the meeting was adjourned without action. In the past it has been the informal ruling of the faculty committee on Student Organizations that the constitutions of all college organizations he placed on file with the director of student activities and that the constitution he approved by the committee. 'I his rule has not been conformed to by the German Club, according to the committee. The petition further demanded that the faculty committee hold an investigation of the charges of the minority group at an open hearing and to take I action on the findings of the investiI gation. | Tenement 23 I Leads Contest I Of Discussion Groups I Thomas Crawford Heads TeneI ment In Lead; Second Group Under P.

I lie reason, Air. Smith said, was that if the Senator spoke before his regularly scheduled speech it would 'lot be fair to those sponsoring his I v,s'* here. If he spoke afterward it ttould come as a post-climax and would be useless because most of the students may hear him at the apI pointed time. I I lie Clariosophic society voted, after I seated discussion at two meetings, that I c Kingfish" be extended an invitaI tlon* Only three dissenting votes were I cast. A letter was written Mr. Long, I later followed by a telegram. No answer came to either. I The junior law class had previously I nivited Senator Long to speak at the I annual Junior-Senior law banquet, but reconsidered and recalled the bid. ord from Mr. Long was that he had neither "received nor accepted an invitation. Your mothers should have taught you better manners."

In this bulletin, Prof. Petty deals ith the evidence of ice erosion in the ried bed of the Teays River (a prelacial stream). Pebbles, cobbles, and milders have been found in the river d which are striations. These striaons could not have been carried to ie places where they were picked up > the action of the glacier, as they e down stream from the places of or origin, that is, they were moved a direction opposite to the glacial ift. It is therefore evident that ice ovements in the former river carried esc striations to the places where ey were deposited. Professor Petty's bulletin was prented in December, 1933, and was tblished in February, 1935. It is one the'many papers he has prepared iring the last few years, his most cent being on the subject of "Fullrites and their Formation."
