E2 Through the fraternity numerous evils TI wve been eliminated from the campus, dil id Blue Key can now boast that she had rved alma mater to the best of her the >ility during the current year. Di The chapter commenced its activities hi1 publishing the annual Blue Key Fac- th< ty and Student Directory which gives se e name, address, class, fraternity, home tic Idress and telephone number of every ch udent and faculty member registered co the University. At the beginning of the year, intra- St ural athletics were not formally or mized. The Blue Key system of intra ural athletics was accepted by Univer- at ty authorities. It provides for a com- M ete systematization of campus athletics. Radios have been provided by the chap r for the University Infirmary. In spite of the historical part the Uni- a rsity campus has played in the early story of the National and State Gov- en nment, no markings have been erected ou preserve the identities of such inter- cit ting places. The chapter collaborat- th' g with authorities is having proper sta arkers set up in permanent form. For the first time in the past few Vi( ars the University placed a champion de id runner-up in the Southern Confer- re5 ce Boxing Championship. The chapter ro sisted in raising funds to send these an igilists to National Amateur Finals. The Blue Key was instrumental in re- foi sing the Student Body Constitution for mi e purpose of arranging a more conven- spi it schedule of student body and class me :ction dates. wi A real honest-to-goodness political in1 thering was arranged this year for the wo idents and candidates for campus posts. ] esident J. Rion McKissick, opened the vis ily with an enthusiastic speech in which spi complimented the sponsors upon their fu lendid school spirit. More than 1,000 wh idents turned out to listen to over 35 ndidates. A real political platform, re- cat eshments, and amplifiers were provided.

Members of the chapter rved as guides, officiating at informa n and registration stations, and took arge of many forensic and debating ntests. Intersection of, Green and Sumter reets is a dangerous point in the heart the campus. The chapter was instru :ntal in having traffic signals placed the intersection by official petition to ayor L. B. Owens and City Council of lumbia. The chapter is planning to establish :entral bulletin board on the campus. Plans are underway to erect signs at trances to city of Columbia and in the tskirts thereof to the effect that such y is the home of the University and it said University is the third oldest te-supported University in the nation. The chapter is planning to put an indi lual roster of the name of those stu its in past days who have lived in the pective dormitory rooms in such )ms, said roster being suitably designed l encased. To say that a few men are responsible such laudatory efforts would be a sstatement of unison and cooperation rit which now prevails.
