Formal dances at the University this
year will be reduced by half according
to resolutions adopted by the faculty
committee on fraternities and student
organizations, John A. 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. "The new plan of
faculty supervision will not only pro
vide financial stability for the student
organizations giving dances but will so
space the dances that they will not
interfere with studies, classroom work,
and other student activities."
No formal dance may be given by
any University organization at any lo
cation in or out of Columbia unless the
following procedure is carried out and
approved:
(1) Serving the chairman, W. H.
Harth, of the faculty committee on
fraternities and student organizations
with a written notice at least one week
in advance of the proposed dance and
securing his written approval.
(2) No contract made by any stu
dent organization for music, decora

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.
Marion Poliakoff took the "home
steadl" over in 1927 and resided there
for two years. He is now a successful
business man in Walhalla.
For another four-year stay came
Meyer Poliakoff to room 48 of tene
nment 29. He is now in business in Ab
beville.
Arthur Poliakoff, now a University
senior, came in 1033 and he says that
he likes the "home" fine.
To room 48, this year, camne a fresh
man, S. R. Poliakoff, who shares the
room with his brother, Arthur.
The occupants of the room change
at interv~als but the dormitory "home"

Dr. Wyman in speaking on the sub- th

Rockefeller Foundation Committee on
Medical Care." The committee recom
mended that medical care should be -

in other ways. It recommended that
medicine should be socialized, that the S
people should be treated by the med

Thirty carloads per year, is the annua

The coal is used in heating classrooms

"We just keep shoveling and shoveling,'
Sofficial of the University said.
Last year's coal bill was probably th<

The amount of coal used to warmi the

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.

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."

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
