Offer Repeating Courses
Students May Enter In February
With No Work To Make
Up
Advantages that can be matched b3
very few colleges in America are af
forded by the U. of S. C., it was re
vealed by a recent investigation mad<
by the University faculty.
A high school student can enter th<
University in February as well as Sep.
tember, with no loss of credits an(
with no courses to be made up, a,
freshman courses are repeated in th<
second semester. There is no restric
tion put upon those wishing to partici
pate in freshman sports-all new stu
b dents are eligible.
The fees paid to the University ar<
very reasonable, far below the averag<
cost of most institutions of higher learn
ing. That the University is on equa
footing in accredited standing with and
American college is shown by the fac
that credits can be transferred from th<
University with no loss in time o
work. Almost every profession is in,
cluded in the University curricula, in
cluding excellent departments in arl
and music.
Student organizations at Carolina art
far more numerous than at any othei
school in the state. Besides the famou;
literary societies there are a numbei
of national honorary fraternities, in
cluding Blue Key, 0. D. K. and K. S
K., Social fraternities and sororities in
clude chapters in practically ever3
social group of importance in the Easi
and South. There are also honorar)
societies and professional fraternitie,
and organizations, affording an oppor
tunity for every student to belong t<
some professional or social group.

Family Connection With
University
Louis Flinn Gilland, who graduate<
from the University in 1929 with at
A.B. degree and from Clemson in 193:
with a B.S. in Engineering, was re
cently chosen to succeed the late Ear

Mr. Gilland's family has been con
nected with the University for severa
generations. He is directly descende<
from Chancellor DeSaussure, one o
the first trustees of the institution, am
for whom DeSaussure College wa
named. His grandfather, the Rev. Johi
William Flinn, was a professor an<
chaplain of South Carolina Colleg<
from 1888 to 19061, and it wvas for hitn
that the present YMCA building de
rivedl the name Flinn Hall. The Flinn:
kept open house for students at al
houtrs of the day, their home beint
looked upon as the stutdetnt center o
that time.
Both of Gilland's parents are Uni
versity gradulates, his father having re
ceived an A.B. and LL.D, later prac
tising law in Kingstree.
While at the University, Mr. Gillan<
was a member of Kappa Sigma anm
the German Club, and( was active ir
various campus organizations.

Constitutional Changes May Be
Proposed On Subsidation
Of Athletes
Attending a' meeting of Southern
Conference officials in Richmond, Feb
ruary 7, University representatives
probably will be President Leonard T.
Baker, President-Elect J. Rion Mc
Kissick, and William H. Harth, new
director of student activities.
The last meeting was attended by
Dr. R. K. Foster, but President Baker
was not present. However, changes of
such importance in the constitution are
to be proposed at the next meeting that
Doctor Baker feels that his presence
will be required.
The question of subsidization of
athletes will be discussed, based along J
the lines of a draft prepared by sonic ir
of the officials. The aim of the pro- e
posal is to enforce more strictly the 7
rules regarding subsidization. n
It is a very popular opinion that li
others to be in attendance at the con
ference entertain the desire for open C
subsidization, similar to the plan re- A
cently adopted by the Southeastern s,
Conferce-. It has also been suggcstCd i1
tht the feasibility of combining the
Southeastern and Southern Conference T
will be discussed. J

Committee Recommends t
$190,000 For University
Acting in accordance with a recom
mendation of the Budget Committee,
the Ways and Means Committee of I
the I-louse of Representatives has rec
ommended to the House a direct ap
propriation of $190,000 for the Univer
sity. t
"This is virtually a reduction on the I
amount of appropriation for the cur- o
rent session," President Baker said, tl
because of a considerable increase in I
the premium required by the Sinking t,
Fund Commission for insurance of the
buildings and their contents." c
The amount requested by the Uni- S
versity was $278,702. t

Registration In June
Students May Take Full Semes
ter's Work In Three
Courses
Regular students of the University
of South Carolina Summer School will
be allowed to carry three courses,
covering a full semester's work in
each, and earning a typical credit
load of nine semester hours, according
to Dr. J. A. Stoddard, director of the
Summer School.
The new rule, effective this year,
was adopted by the Executive Com
mittee of the Summer School at a
meeting held in the Education build
ing recently.
Registration will be conducted as
usual in the Education Building on
Monday, June 8. The summer session
will end with examinations on Friday,
July 31 and Saturday, August 1. The
annual summer commencement will be
held in Drayton Hall at 7 P. M. Fri
day, July 31.
Regular students of the University
will find larger and better oppor
tunities for continuing their studies
during the summer session. Graduate
students, teachers, and others desiring
to take advantage of training and
study courses during the summer will
find enlarged and improved oppor
tunities, Professor Stoddard pointed
out.
As usual, the conference of County
Superintendents of Bducation and the
conference of Vocational Teachers of
Agriculture will be invited to the Uni
versity for their annual summer meet
ings. The conference on Public Af
fairs, which was so successful in 1935,
will be held again during the summer
session of 1936.
Due to the increased number of
hours that students may take during
the session, officials expect the enroll
ment to be much larger than last
year.
