Rion McKissick president of the University is as fol lows: Two of the projects initiated by thi administration have been approved. One is for $13,773 for painting the in terior and exterior of buildings on th campus. Work on this project will be gin Monday. The other is an identical amount, to b expended on general carpentry and re pair work on campus buildings. Under this administration the swim ming pool project has been revamped and the sum asked for has been increase from $24,949 to 480,655. It seems highl; probable that this will be granted. Another application for a loan ano grant is for funds to finish the basemen of the west wing at Thornwell Colleg< so that it may be used for storage pur poses, and putting in a fire-proof vaul for records. This involves, also, corn pleting the basement of the new Studlen Union Building so that a bowling alle; may be installed and a large Faculty Clul provided. The amount is $8,546.

In some respects it i: dangerous, and the possibility of a com. plete breakdown of our heating servic< is always hanking over us. We propos< to take $8,800 of the repair fund ear. marked for repairs by the Legislature and add it to the grant, so that a tota: of $16,000 may be available for indis. penslbable repairs to the heating plant Even this amount will probably not b< sufficient for complete repairs.

Moswain _ Explaining that his policy is simply a square deal for the faculty and others serving the institution, for the students . and the alumni, for the University and the State, President J. Rion McKis e sick addressed the first faculty meeting n of the year in Sloan college Wednes . day. - He praised the work and life of the - late Congressman John J. McSwain for his help to the University and to a the United States. He quoted Con gressman McSwain as saying to a e friend a year before his death: "I- would t consider election to the board of trus r tees of the University a higher honor t than any in the State." President McKissick said in part: t "Many years of observation of poli tics and pubic life cause me to be wary of pronouncements as to policies and principles. It is easy to formulate them but difficult to put them into execution. "When this administration began it was confronted by the not uncom mon choices of the easier way and the harder way.. The latter road seemed _ clearly the path of duty if the Univer sity is to go forward. "The new board of trustees is com I posed of capable, allirt and devoted t representatives of every section of the - state. Their active interest in the up building of the University is one of the most helpfi" and cheering factors in our situation. They have given and s they are giving wholehearted support to every proposal for the advancement - of the institution. "As far as possible the administra tion proposed to equalize conditions affecting faculty members. Upon my - recommendation the board of trustees has directed that no promotions in the faculty be made for the session of 1936 37 and that the president of the Uni versity confer with the faculty as to the proper policy for promotions and report their recommendations to the board so that a definite, equitable and t comprehensive system of promotions may be adopted. I am firmly of the opinion that increases and promotions shoud not be made in a haphazard or (Continued on Page 3; Column 1) Books Reurned To Colonel After Several Years Lost In Early Nineteen Hundreds, But Mysteriously Returned Back in the early nineteen hundreds the Colonel, while a student at the Uni versity, lost three books. This week they were suddenly and mysteriously re turned-some thirty-one years later. Now even a University president has to be a student at some time, and,.even if he is to become a very prominent man eventually, lhe's bound to have a few books borrowed. So President J. Rion McKissick was, and so President J. Rion McKissick did. He didn't forget them entirely, because one of them happened to be an autographed copy of "Comes One with a Song" by the South Carolinian, Frank L. Stanton. One afternoon this week he returned home to find the three books in a chair on his front porch. There was no note, no explanation. But there were thc eson' The Colonel Fellow Freshmen: Since this is my freshman year as pre For the University and for myself I From what I have heard and seen of tionally serious-minded, capable, and fir One of the physically smallest memi cently to see me about some aid the Un As he was leaving, he said, with evide can help you, just call on me."

Repairs Made At The University 2 Buildings And Grounds o Further Work Contemplated In Addition To Improvements Considerable improvements on Uni f versity buildings and grounds were made during the summer, and further work is contemplated. t A sub canteen has been installed in the Woman's building, and the Uni versity book store moved to tenement e five. A rest room for' ladies is in r the former location of the book store. e The canteen, book store, and the d pressing club have been brought under the direct control of the University. A large square in front of the can d teen has been paved with brick, the de - sign matching walks throughout the campus, and a walk has been built r along the tennis courts adjacent to e Green street. e Baths were installed in Melton hall, and students who cannot find accom niodations in the Woman's building will reside there. Fire extinguishers have been put in all classroom buildings and new floors have been laid in the . University gymnasium, field house, and in the University High School gym. The fatigued student no longer has to rush to Davis or LeConte between a classes for a quaff of cold water to g soothe his blistered tongue, as water e coolers have been installed in Sloan, e the law building, and the woman's dormitory. New signs over entrances e to the various departments will be of assistance to freshmen unfamiliar with 'the premises.' e~ Landscaping o f t h e infirmary - grounds and general renovation of the s building is contemplated. There has - already been a general cleaning up a and improvement of property adjacent to the warehouse.

The board of trustees has not passed any such rule as yet, but from all that can be learned, such a rule will be put into force at the beginning of the 1937-38 session. As yet no official action has been taken by the board of trustees. Opinions as to the advisability of such. a change are multifarious. Non-fraternity men are rather indifferent and neutral while fra ternities are in opposition to the move. The outcome of such a policy is rather vague and indefinite. "I do not know, but I am practically sure that the board of trustees will pass a rule that fraternities will be moved on the campus next year," declared Presi dent J. Rion McKissick when questioned as to the outcome of the situation now before fraternities. John A. Chase, Jr., registrar and dean of Administration, was of the same opinion when the ques tion was put to him. "I have talked with a number of stu dents and I am of the opinion that most of the students who belong to fraternities are in favor of their return to the cam pus," Mr. Chase quoted James Good, president of S. A. E., as saying. On the contrary, Jack Quattlebaum, president of Kappa Sigma, is of the opinion that most fraternity and sorority members are opposed to the return of fraternities to the campus. "It will mean the ultimate removal of fraternities from the campus," Quattle baum stated. "As soon as our organi zations are removed from our present positions, interest will be lessened and in several years fraternities will be abol ished, not because members are willing, but because outsiders want fraternities removed. "Dicky" Palmer, president of Kappa Alpha, agrees with Quattlebaum in that most fraternity members do not approve of fraternities being moved back to the campus. Palmer is of the opinion that if fra ternities are forced to the campus they will eventually be removed from the campus. Palmer agrees that his fra ternity is 100 per cent against the move.

Coach Don McCalister will send a team against the invaders which will be a mixture of veteran gridders and brilliant sophomoric talent. Indica tions are that the more experienced men will dominate the forward wall, while the sophomores take their turns jn handling the backfield. The meeting of these two teams has been made into a gala event with the rededication of an improved stadium and the introduction of a public ad dress system to help the spectators in following the game.
