Chamb McK'ssick R Conference (Continued froi The proposal by President lurrus t of V. P. I. that all of rule 13 be stricken from the by-laws so that each institu tion would determine for itself ques- t tions of eligibility was backed by Di rector Harth who cast the University's vote for this motion and Dr. C. N. Wyatt, the representative of Furman University, but the motion was voted t down. Stricken from the rules, however, was Section A of rule 13 requiring ath letes to testify concerning outside finan cial aid. The only portion of the Graham 1 Plan phase of the conference by-laws which was retained was that concern- 1 ing the dispensing of University scholarships by special faculty commit tees, and requiring that such aid be t open to non-athletes as well as ath letes. Leader in this movement at Carolina was The Gamecock, which weekly edi torialized for open subsidization for three issues before the meeting and took a poll of the students, receiving 900 ballots on student opinion. It was 1 found that 8 students to 1 favored open subsidization and that if the Graham plan was not changed, to withdraw from the Conference. A telegram to this effect was sent President McKis sick at the meeting by 7'he Gamecock. The morning before President Mc Kissick left, he gave an exclusive story to The Gamecock in which he hinted that if the Conference did not change the Graham plan or abolish it, Carolina would withdraw from the Conference. This morning, Director Harth and President McKissick were jointly in terviewed by a reporter on The Game cock and they gave out the following statement "The Southern Conference last week O.K. = m 1 Columbia Here's The Stage Show You've Been Waiting Fort New 'i Edition .I FRIDAY & SATURDAY Do you 'temember the "1937 Swing Show" that played the Carolina last Season?

Chis section was: "'No student shall represeift his uni ersity or college in any athletic con est who receives from others than hose upon whom he is naturally de endent for financial aid, money, by rift or loan, or the equivalent of mon y, such as board, lodging, etc., un ess the source and character of these rifts or payments shall be approved y the faculty committee on the round that they have not accrued to irn primarily because of his ability as n athlete.' "Our interpretation of this rule is hat, so long as aids or scholarships to thletes are not within the direct con rol of the University, they can be ranted to students primarily because >f their ability as athletes. "This permits an organization not mnder direct control of the University o provide aid for athletes without vio ating the by-laws of the Southern onference." According to the delegates, the pres nt Conference rules pertinent to the ubsidization of the athletes after the bolition of Section A is as follows: Section 1. It has been and is an ac epted' part of the provisions of all in ercollegiate athletic conferences that n athlete may be awarded a scholar hip, loan, job or other financial aid m his merits as a person and student m the same basis as other students. (b) Any scholarship, loan, job, re nission of charge, financial aid or other naterial considerations within the di ect control of the institution, to be pen to an athlete, must fulfill all >f the following requirements: (1) Be equally open to non-athletes, mf the basis of character, scholarship, inancial need, competence for any ;pecific task, and general merit. (2) Be awarded only by a representa ive and responsible faculty committee, r committees, in the respective fields if scholarships. loans, and jobs. DEPENDABLE TAXI SERVICE CHECKER CAB CO.

Lucas, chairman of the fTe Boards committee on student affairs, nors C McKissick Speaker The University of South Carolina and President J. Rion McKissick were hon- b ored at the annual ladies' night meeting s of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce a with over 400 members and guests in at- v tendance. The meeting, the first recog nition ever given the University of ' South Carolina by such an organization, j was held in the Jefferson lotel ballroom. t There were distinguished guests from v all sections of the state headed by Gov- < ernor Olin D. Johnston, Judge Milledge < Bonham, and president of two other ed ucational institutions, Dr. \V. P. Jacobs s of Presbyterian college and Dr. J. C. t Guilds of Columbia College. a The university accepted the honor with v its usual grace, three of its leaders speak- t ing and expressing appreciation for the outstanding occasion. Doctor McKissick, after a br ef intro duction, cited many previous f'.vors tend- a ered the university by Columbia, the city C council, the county delegation, and the business men, pointing to the valuable t work in securing the stadium, advertis- r ing in the student publications, the street t paving around the campus, installation of s traffic lights near the campus, making the ( arboretum possible, the liberal publicity given many endeavors, the support of the t athletic program, provision by the Co- h lumbia Merchants' association of money h to enable the Y. M. C. A. of the school to publish 8,000 booklets annually dc signed to attract students, giving em ployment to several hundred students an nually and others. He said the student characterization of the university as a "poor man's college" was justified, a survey having revealed that more than 35 per cent. of the stu dents to come from families with an in come below $1,000. lie added that every merchant providing work for a student was doing a service toward increasing the educational plane of the state as well I as offer aid to the student. "The university," the speaker said, "also contributes to Columbia. It pro vides a university education in nine pro fessional schools and 20 departnents for e a substantial proportion of the rising gen- I eration of Columbia citizenship. There . are 625 students from the city and county 3 now registered." lie also told of the many orgaii.ttions the the university working for the ma- c terial, civic, moral, cultural and religious t upbuilding of Columbia. lie asserted a survey estimated every student spent at < least $450 annually, making a total ex penditure of not less than $1,000,000. It was pointed out that no revenue was t received other than student fees and the annual appropriation. In discussing the position of the uni versity, 1)octor MclKissick declared, "there is much ignorance and misunder- d standing concerning the university in the state." Later, he said "t lie educational task of the university is to teach its students how to live the good life as well as earn a living." 1oc STRAND 15c MONDAY AND TUESDAY JOE E.

BULLETIN A student body meeting was held 'hursday night at which leading campus gures made talks on "Vhat I Think Is Vrong With the Coaching Situation At ;arolina." The meeting, called by President tokes I)avis, was the follow-up of sev ral student petitions asking that Coach )on McCallister be given back all his ssistants under the same set-tip as last ear or else dismiss the entire staff and et new coaches. As the paper goes to press, little indi ati~ns of the far-reaching power of his student movement can be learned. The petition was addressed to Presi lent J. Rion McKissick,' the Board of 'rustees, and the Athletic Department. "The decision of the trustee's commit ec is obviously a failure and an unsuc e sful attempt to solve the coaching roblem of this, our University of South 'arolina." was one of the paragraphs of he petition being circulated by the stu cnts.
