Alumni Plans District Meet Good Year Expected State-Wide Program Will Present University Faculty To Counties Laying plans for the most successful year in its history, the Alumni asso ciation of the University is expecting a general rejuvenation of its separate chapters, according to Barney Early, secretary of the association. District meetings will be held in the near future in Charleston, Aiken, An derson, Spartanburg, York and Co lunibia, while the sixth district met in Hartsville about a month ago. These meetings will continue until all seven of the districts are served. In the sane manner all the counties will meet until the entire forty-six have had a gathering of alumni. Many such meetings have been held during the past eight years, and they have proven their value in promoting closer fellowship among fellow stu dents. Programs are usually presented by a representative group from the University faculty. Coining into con tact with alumni on their home grounds has a wvell-marked effect in producing a closer bond between thenm and their Alma Mater. Seniors at the Newark College of Engineering have voted in favor of allowing women to enter their classes.

T maximum, in the rural communities at low-population centers, would probably in the neighborhood of twenty-live hu dred dollars per year. Thus the doctor would be assured of decent living, and if he preferred t work of mingling with the people, would be afforded the opportunity of ri ing with his enthusiasm and ability to maximum of quite a satisfactory renut eration. On the other hand, if he want to leave the field he would be at liber to qualify for work of a more technic nature, in the form of laboratory r search or its kindred fields. A possible objection to this plan of re ulating the average doctor's activiti would be the opportunity of the individt saving his time and exertion, knowi1 that his income would not depend on This possibility, it seems, would be ov< conic by the fact that only the most at bitious and most tenacious would ev reach this particular point in the scale evolution of the medical devotee.
