CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Coach Clinic Group Averages Planned Awarded UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Volume XXIX, No. 16 _COLUMBIA, S. 0., FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1936 Honor Sys New Lea CRUSADE BEGUN TO END CHEATING Twenty-Five Take Oath Students Gather Last Night And Swear To, Enforce Honor Principles Calling on fellow students to sup port them in a final, desperate effort to retain the honor system, a small group of' determined University men Wednesday night solemnly bound themselves together in a crusade against cheating. Approximately 25 men signed their names to a written pact, swearing not to engage in any shady practices them selves and to report to constituted au thorities any transgression against honorable conduct they might observe. Fully aware of the significance of their actions, the signers declared that they were determined to outlaw cheat ing at Carolina, no matter what the reaction on the part of acquaintances and the student body as a whole. So far as could be learned the fac ulty, reluctant to install the proctor system, is unanimously behind the movement to perfect "student control of student conduct." The success of the movement depends upon the co operation of other students and stimu lation by the faculty. By placing his signature to the honor contract a student is furthering a campaign aimed to stiffen the moral resistence of the entire student enroll ment. The immediate requisite is the signed approval of 100 University students, without which the original signers have declared the system would not go into effect. "This represents our own judgment as to the best procedure to follow," declared one of the men as he signed (Continued on Page 11 Column 4) Babcock Frames Ballad Singer Aided By Colonel English And Journalism Students Get Free Concert From Song Specialists An unexpected treat was given the students in Dr. Babcock's English class and Colonel McKissick's journalism last Friday when a perfect frame-up was executed on two of the best ballad singers in the country. Dr. Babcock had invited Professor Arthur Kyle Davis to attend his class and say a few words. The professor, who teaches in the University of Virginia, is not only one of the most noted au thorities on ballads and folk songs, but has a wvondlerful voice, but natural ly he was not expecting to sing to the class. As soon as lhe entered the room everyone started clapping, andl re fused to stop until he began to sing. Colonel McKissick, who was teaching in a joining room, heard the strains of a fine 01(1 song, and realizing that no local talent could compare with what lhe wvas hearing, carried his class over and( a real ballad tournament was thereupon started. Dr. Davis was ably assisted by Pro fessor Alton Morris of the Univer sity of Florida, who is also a col lector of ballads and folklore, and even Dr. Babcock joinedl in wvith a will. Pressure was brought to hear on the Colonel to make him take a hand, but he modestly declined to conm pete with the singers, explaining that "Sweet Adeline" wvas the only ballad in his collection, and it was not meant for such occasions. The audience was so enthusiastic that Professor D)avis soon forgot his nat ural shyness, and sung to the dlelighited students for fully forty-five minutes. Hie never knew that Dr. Babcock had carefully planned the whole thing with his class. The songs, however, were mConta.. o..

(Continued on Pane 8; Column I) T Carolina Oddities By Don Causey "Rioting" was a favorite pastime of the South Carolina College in Ante bellum days. In 1814, students be came so unruly; fighting, firing of guns, and fisticuffs that the militia had to b)e called in to keep order. P'rofessors were often burnedt in ef -_ figy. Dr. Havilah Babcock now owvns F somule of the property at Appomattox on which General Lee surrendered at the end of the War Between the _ States. "To aid the factulty in preserving 1~ goodl order and decorum among stu (ents" a wall six andt one half feet -j high was constructedl all around the College. During the war it was seri ously damaged b)ut was immediately repaired. In early (lays of the College stu (tents hadl to buy their own firewoodl from the marshal, who de:ivered it 2 to the rooms. He kept the wood storedt undler his office. A The College employed slaves to F work on the campus. The first slave, F1 "Jack," who cost $900, gave so much Si troub)le that he was placed under the N personal care of a professor who was N to punish him and to hire him out N to defray the expenses of a better servant. th The University of South Carolina C would have been established elsewhere di (Continued on Pe 5; Column 2) - Students Hear Preston Speak n Chapel Tuesday ssociate Secretary Of Southern Baptist Student Union Talks On Christianity ".Many a young man is burning his use for roast pork of life," declared !illiam Hall Preston, associate sec tary of the South Baptist Student nion, in chapel Tuesday morning. t is no harder to live a Christian e on the :aipus than in the home -if you live the right brand."

Mr. Preston believes that many ink of happiness as a thin dime to searched for. Happiness is coni )sed of many things and when we it them together, they make a mar -fous jewel. "Universal happiness is sought by eryone. I wonder how many would ish for gold, social prominence or me. Fame does not bring happi ss. Look around you at those who ve achieved fame and fortune.
