Carolina Folk Complete Si Southern Cities Visited Receive Much Praise From Critics In Each Stopping Place The Carolina Folk Singers of the University, under the direction of Pro fessor Maurice Matteson, have re turned from a successful tour of the Southeast. This tour took the organ ization to Charleston, Savannah, Jack sonville, and Mi;mi. The vocalists composed of 21 voices were well re ceived and several radio broadcasts were given. Much favorable press comment upon the singers was made throughout the tour. Said: The Charleston Evening P o s t: "This group of about twenty-two young men, with fresh vibrant voices, showed itself to be an organization that could compass music of a serious nature, as well as the simple tunes of the primitive type. They sing with excellent rhythm, good attack, ease, w a r mn harmonies, a n d excellent phrases." Miami Daily Herald: "The singers, under the direction of Maurice Matte son, beginning with a group of class ics, including compositions of Ron ald, Sibelios, and Edward Grieg, sing ing with fine legato tone and show ing a keen sense of interpretation and melodic rhythm." Savannah Morning News: "This group from the University of South Carolina, carrying on a tradition that is well established, is most fortunate in having so accomplished a musician as Maurice Matteson, for director. The twenty-four young men compos ing it are thus able to give a concert that has genuine musical quality and musical interest. This organization is planning to as sist Madame Felice de Horvath and the University Symphony Orchestra in the February concert which will be presented in Drayton Hall. -- . ". o. Ice Easily Breaks Trees In South "Vegetation in the South is not a dapted to the severe wheather we have been experiencing this winter,' asserts Dr. Emmet Kilpatrick of the Department of Romance Languages. Trees in the South spread out more than those in the North, making it easier for ice to break them down."

Dr. Valentine, who was a star athlett r of at Swarthmore and a member of the xing Olympic team at Paris in 1928, spoke out against over-emphasis of intercol legiate athletics. President Angell of Yale, speaking at a luncheon which *h- followed the induction, denounced the compulsion of loyalty oaths as "trans ter forming education into propaganda." im "There are those who would judge a university by the number and extent of its columns in the public press," I)r Valentine charged.

That was the opinion vigorously ex pressed at a conference of more than 50 editors held recently in New York under the auspices of the National Student Federation of America. "Faculty advisers," said one editor, "usually wind up being autocrats instead of advisers," and the subsequent dis cussion brought out a smouldering re sentment against existing forms of fac ulty control and a wide demand for more freedom of the undergraduate press in many directions. Other sore points were the matter of remuneration of editorial and business staffs and varying methods of choosing workers for top staff positions. The editors were told they ought to be increasingly aware of their opportunities for moulding intelligent opinion along social, political and economic lines. The so-called "Vassar point system" for remuneration of business staff mem bers, which calls for distribution of a certain number of points for each adver tisement sold, and division of the profits at the end of the year in proportion to points amassed received general approval. General and outspoken disapproval was registered with the common meth ods of appointing students to fill ranking staff positions. Not the student body at large, nor the English department, nor the dean should have the right to name editors and business managers, thv dele gate editors maintained, holding that they should be elected by either the staff or the outgoing board of control. -V. 2.
