Chase, Jr., reg istrar and dean of administration, has announced. The ruling became effec tive on October 20. "This ruling is in keeping with the University's effort to provide a well rounded educational, religious, social, and recreational life for each student," Mr. Chase said.

Family Likes Certain Room Poliakoff Picks Burney Brothers From Abbeville Have AlU Occupied Same Room For Twelve Years Room 48 in tenement 29 has been "home, sweet home" for the Poliakoff brothers of Abbeville during the past 12 years. The beginning of this "home streak" beCgan in 1924, when A. E. Poliakoff, nOW a physician in Abbeville, moved in and resided there until 1027.

This amount of fue nounts to $12,581 yearly. The coal is used in heating classrooms rmitories and offices on the campus. "We just keep shoveling and shoveling,' Sofficial of the University said. Last year's coal bill was probably th< rgest in history, owing to the severe ss of the winter, and wvith predictior an even colder season for this year e annual bill will probably exceed last ar's amount. The amount of coal used to warmi the hiversity is exceeded only by the State c>spital.

SCIENCE GROUP HEARS LECTURE On California Bridge 70,000 Miles Of Wire And 60 Story High Towers Are Included Would you believe that over 70,000 miles of wire are used in the construc tion of one bridge? Or that the towers of the bridge itself are higher than a 60 story building? Yet these are the dimensions of the giant East Bay Bridge of San Francisco, according to Dean W. E. Rowe in his lecture to the LeConte Scientific Society at its first meeting of the year. The bridge, opened in 1935, spans the eight and a half miles from San Francisco to Oakland California. At the conclusion of Dean Rowe's il lustrated lecture, Professor HT. C. Davis, of the English Department of the Uni versity, delivered an able and interest ing treatise on the Catawba Indian Dia lect, a language now (lead. "There are a great many kinds of languages," Professor Davis observed. "The Chinese, for instance, is monosylla bic.... The Catawba (dialect is an incor porating language, meaning that it joins, or links, many of its wvords." Reproductions of the language were throwvn on the screen, where the linking tendency becaine at once prominent. For instance, "I kill," when put into the Ca tawvba, becomes "dligua." But "th:ey kill" is not so simple. It is "aguaraupigua delh." And "Ar-ra-raing dis-gua delh" meane "You have killed a frog." The pronunciation of Catawban bears a re semblance to Spanish. Professor L. L. Smith was in charge of the exhibit of fleurescent minerals. Many different types of minerals, upon being exposed to ultra-violet light, will fleuresce,.or shine, with startling brilli ance. Fleurite is one of the better known of these minerals. The LeConte Society meets on the sec ond Friday of each month, and the pub lic is invited. 4dded ra-murals If Uniforms Are Obtained Says Mr. Jack Crawford Head Of Physical Education De. partment Insists On Ten Days' Practice Before Game The restoration of intra-mural foot ball has been taken under consideration by the Physical Education department. This action was brought about by the numerous requests of the upper-class men for the return of the'activity. Mr. Crawford, head of the depart ment, listed the requisites in his state ment: "I am perfectly willing to re sume intra-mural football provided that each participant will practice at least ten davs before entering com petition. My responsibility is to super vise the development of the physicial condition of the students. Many stu dents, especially the upper-classmen, do not take any strenuous exercises. Naturally when they compete without any previous training or conditioning their hearts, lungs, and muscles are not able to stand the great exertion that is required to play the game. I want the captain of each team to pledge that his organization will practice the required length of time. "I shall consult Mr. Harth and Mr. McCallister about the necessarv eauio ment. Of course, if it is not available, we will be compelled to drop the idea for this season." Athletic Books Needed At Orangeburg Fair University students will be ad mitted to the fair grounds, the game, and will be given a country style dinner at Orangeburg, all on the face of their athletic books, Adolph Pearson made known to day. Those who have lost their tickets may obtain slips, which may be used in their stead, by seeing either Mr. W. H. Harth or Miss Cantwell at the Athletic Office. Phillips Talks At Services On Science And Religion Points Out That Science Has Often Been In Conflict With in Its Own Ranks "Science andl Religion are friends, one to the other and not foes," according to Dr. Henry D. Phillips, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in an address at Ves per Services Sunday Night at the Univer sity Chapel. "Religion," Dr. Phillips stated, is the search for truth in Ihe relationship between men and God." Jesus said, 'I am the wvay, the truth and the light.' As long as science is searching for truth there is no conflict between science and religion." "Truth does not change. Man's con ception of the truth does change as he discovers truth. Christianity is an ef fort to search for truth where ever it may be found. Jesus did not think that the scripture of his day was a closed revelat ion. lHe expressed truth in him self and expected more truth to follow." Dr. Phillips pointed out that science has often been in conflict within its own ranks. He told of the persecutions of Pasteur when he was trying to discover and explain a new truth in combating disease and how he was bitterly fought by other scientists of hi ay
