In a closely contested election the
Fuphradian society elected Bob Hemp
hill, Academic senior, and Tom Pope,
first law student, to the Board of
Publications Tuesday night.
They succeed Gedney Howe and Vi
vian Morse and take office immediate
ly. There was some discussion as to
whether the election should be post
poned as there had been no previous
announcement. The motion, however,
to postpone failed.
There was a good crowd present at
the long business session.
The Clariosophic was invited to a
joint session next Tuesday to discuss
business of the oratorical association.
After the joint session, the Euphra
dian will hold contests for the debat
ing and declaimers medal, Juniors and
Seniors are eligible for the former;
Freshman and Sophomores for the lat
ter.
New members since the last regu
lar issue of The Gamecock are Ru
pert Rodes, William Goldberg,
David Graham, Woodrow Coker, Ray
Bargeron, Ingram Laurence. ?ein
stated were Samuel Rubin, Bob Hemp
hill, and G. G. Dowling.
In recent meetings the society went
on record in the Junior senate as be
ing opposed to the Graham plan and
to request the proper authorities to
increase the activities fee for publica
tion purposes.
Labor Slows
rool Plans
Skilled Workers Needed
Baker States That Work Will
Start As Soon As Stadium
Is Completed
The paramount difficulty hampering
conclusion of plans for the erection of
the swinuning pool is a scarcity of
suitable labor, according to 'resident
Baker.
Although plenty of unskilled work
ers for shoveling andl excavation p)ur
poses5 may be secured WV PA officials
dlisap)provedl of concrete andl cement
laborers p)rovidled in the application.
WVhen the U. niversity applied for
funds for impjroving the stadium and
building the pool1, government authori
ties suggestedl that the latter wvould
have to wait until the stadium is fin
ished so the skilled labor might he
shifted to the swimming pool project.
Satisfactory progress on the stadium
has been madle, D)octor Baker saidl,
explaining that the walls are practical
13y erectedl andl only steel reinforce
nments have to be placed. This project
w ill be completed in about another
month, he saidl.
Optimismu as to the ultimate out
come of the poo0l plans was exp)ressedl
by Professor Robert L. Sumwalt, who
has drawn preliminary plans and has
volunteered to supervise construction.
lie believes that as soon as suitable
labor, meeting relief requirements, is
ob)tainedl, the necessary money will be
securedl via WPA grant.
President Baker declared that if all
po-, ible attempts prove fruitless, do
nations will be returned.
