EXPENSES LOW
AT UNIVERSITY
By Paul Sanabury
It has often been said that the motto
of Carolina is "Make all checks pay
able to the University of South Caro
lina." A high school student might
infer from this statement that Caro
lina is a school which would make his
pop dig deep in his jeans to send him
there. Such is not the case.
The University costs less than any
other school in the state. There is
no embarrassing expense for uniforms,
and all fees are at a minimum. The
average student pays four hundred and
twenty-five dollars a year to attend
the University. This figure includes
tuition, a maintenance fee, room and
board, a medical fee, student activi
ties, and incidental personal expenses.
Tuition is $30 a semester, totalling
$60 a year. This charge is lower than
that of any university in this country
except Alabama and Florida.
The maintenance fee of seventeen
dollars and a half a semester covers
laboratory fees, upkeep, examination
books, and other expenses of the Uni
versity.
Room Rent Low
Rooms may be had on the campus
for amounts ranging from $20 to $50
a semester. All of the dormitories are
provided with hot and cold water,
steam heat, electric lights, and janitor
service. The rooms are furnished with
tables, chairs, wardrobes, beds, and
mattresses. All rooms are $20 except
those in the Student Union Building
and the new wings of Thornwell Col
lege. The Student Union Building,
completed last summer, has accommo
dati6ns for 84 men. Single rooms rent
from $40 to $50, according to location,
for one occupant; $30 to $40 for each
of two occupants. Each room is fur
nished with two single beds, a chif
fonier, a large table, metal wastebasket,
two straight chairs, floor plugs for
lamps, and a large closet. There is a
bath between each two rooms. Rooms
in Thornwell are similarly furnished.
All men students of the FiLeshman
class who room on the campus are re
quired to board at Steward's Hall, and
all women who reside in the Woman's
Building are required to board at the
Cafeteria of the Woman's Building.
This rule may seem very restrictive
and dictatorial. This is done, however,
to make sure that all the freshmen get
good balanced meals daily. Board
costs eighteen dollars a month, or
twenty cents a meal. For the price
of an ice cream soda you may get
Sunday dinner. Quite naturally you
would think that since the price is
low, the food must be poor. We ask
all high school students to take a meal
at the Woman's Building or Steward's
Hall and see for themselves what the
fare is.
Activity Fee
The Student Activities Fee of eight
seventy-five a semester covers all the
athletic contests. Every fall Carolina
plays six or more football games here.
Next winter the Southern Conference
Boxing Tournament will he held at the
Field House, to say nothing of the pre
liminary matches. Basketball, base
ball, tennis, and track matches are held
all during the year.

Two Scholar
To Be Award
U. S. C. OFFERS a
MANY COURSES
By Philip Wilmeth
The University of South Carolina of- si
fers to the prospective student no less a
than nine different schools in which he th
may register, exclusive of the Grad- s
uate School. Together they cover al- ti
most the entire field of education, so n
that a student at the University of P
South Carolina may pursue any course
of study that he is interested in. b
The school having the largest en
rolment is the College of Arts and
Science, with courses leading to the
A. B. or 13. S. degree in various ma
jors. The others are as follows, their
names being self-explanatory: School ar
of Commerce, School of Education,
School of Engineering, School of t
Journalism, School of Law, School of
Pharmacy, School of Social Work, and
the Summer School. Through these w
various schools the University pro- cc
vides one of the most complete cur- ti
riculums in the state. 1
As an added attraction, the Univer- .
sity offers several new buildings, some a
just finished, others to be ready for a
use in the near future. The new $100, it
000 swimming pool is under construc- v
tion, and will probably be completed
before next September. A large labo- c
ratory is being built for engineering a
students; an entirely new canteen and n
post office will be opened shortly; the C
University Botanical Gardens are be- s
ing developed just off the campus. c
Finally, a very substantial sum has -
b)een obtained for the construction of
a newv library or adlministration build
ing, andl construction will begin when
'final plans are madle.
In addition to these newv buildings,
there are several dormitories wvhich
have been in use only one year. These
are the Student Union Building, erect
ed as a combination dlormitory for men
and activity center for the entire stu
,(dent body, and the wings recently

By Thelma Thompson t
The University of South Carolina of- a
fers opportunity to every girl for three 1
way development of personality and t
character. Mental, religious, and so- a
cial phases of life are all well pro- s
vided for.
All the 436 courses offered at the
University are open to women.
Particularly attractive to girls, are
the two year and four year secretarial
courses. A course has recently been s
installed for the training of commer- a
cial teachers. At present there is a t
great demand for teachers trained in t
this work. 1,
Many girls enroll in the School of r
Education where they receive training c
and do practice teaching in the Uni- c
versity High School. (
Art Department t
The Art Department attracts girls
as well as boys. Courses in costume
and textile designing are to be offered
next year in addition to the regular
courses in free-hand drawing and oil
painting.
The School of Journalism is well
recognized and gives excellent train- s
ing to those interested in newspaper v
work. t
Probably most of the girls at the
University are taking the general cul
tural courses offered in the School of
Arts and sciences. The excellent r
courses in history, English, and for- c
eign languages draw many students r
into this school.
Girl Scientists
Girls are slowly but surely entering
the scientific field. The pre-med
school always has several girls en
rolled, and courses leading to labora
tory technician work are becoming in
creasingly popular.
The School of Pharmacy attracts a
few girls as does the School of Law.
One girl actually graduated from the
School of Engineering (1933).
The University School of Social
Work is one of the few accredited by
the National Social Agencies.
Religious Life
Religious development is provided
for by the Y. W. C. A. and the Caro
lina Christian Service Club. The "Y"
does campus social service such as vis
iting the sick in the infirmary, as well
as service in the local hospitals and
among under-privileged people. A
definite program is carried out through
the year, having as its purpose the
furtherance of spiritual and moral de
velopment. The Y. V. C. A. co
operates with the Y. M. C. A through
