Mrs. Morgani ToAks On 'Men -Women Securing Mrs. Mildred I. Morgan to give a series of addresses on Men-Women relations on the campus is a significant action by the Y. W. C. A. because it reveals A definite need for something of this kind and because the idea grew out of the students themselves. This is the first time that an outside lecturer has been brought to the University, and it is evidence that Univer sity students are taking the lead in solving their own troubles instead of J,aiting for someone to bring the so lution to them. In papers all over the United States there is evidence that college students today as never before are realizing the difficulties presented to then in seeking compatibility and happiness with the opposite sex, and are seeking some practical solution to their problems. Dr. Ernest Groves, well known writer and teacher of marriage course at the University of North Carolin , says that "young people today eare having a harder time choosing a dife or husband than young people of any day have ever had. This is not because they iave changed individually, but because economic and social changes have brought complications in making success f ul marriages. " However, lie adds that "this is offset by the fact that never before have young people been so constantly seek ing information about marriage from reliable sources." To aid Carolina students in these problems, the Y. W. C. A. could not have chosen a more capable person than Mrs. Morgan, who is known in this country and others for her intimate knowledge and insight into prob Jems of adjustment..14 Her visit of two days will also pae the way for more definite action by those who see the need for more in struction in mbtters of this kind. Progress Made By Societies From the renewed interest among uppercassnen and the large number of initiates among the freshman class, it is plain that literary societies are again assuming their rightful place among the most important organizations othn cmus. ra,woi nw nti onr n Manysfo eintime inSouthCarli and sigtuntrroin stes hav attribumednt.ofter.ucsstrann vervsit ofsi tohays willbalshi iav teray ocmore wasfne oftionbysthosefwho prsef this coeedfrge ain. srin e patew rs, thowve, heroeind.eeo Bycieties dbcm io n,adtemeig a tho tkin rewedinees aopntso upprdsse whil the laret mer bac anditiates ned. reha cas Ths rla thalu ofiterar societi areacing assmn paer liametary prcedurne most gvnhimoran oprunitn Mlaney wasnete in proram arolned orroundeeing steorhandve riue whom ofttedireuenstly taining noeohrreson ltrrhoeyandepfo thaveidntof paye fini forst excesai absecet manyrhi of th ldrr membety drsoped out thecasuseoflart of irestege whatieon. hiyer had bought aio chne n the socetings ad adeelopea ino proressyped been maesinseeinthaot the benfse ofin membrshiarn exotendedints enlargdro win clue oestb and restens.

Too long has the progress'of Carolina been reta by strict adhesion to rules which kept the Unive from advancing as a state university ought. Throwing over this idea that a Carolina graduate i go out endorsed by so many professors and rul stamped with so many course numbers, and substiti instead a general proficiency level to be attained s1 that those who have the power to determine the pol of the University are keeping their eye on modern cational trends and endeavoring to see that Car is not left oUt of all of them. Briefly explained, the new rule is this freshmen show by their entrance test results that they do not further drill in grammar and rhetoric, which mak most of the first year of English, are allowed to these courses and are given credit for them. At same time, sophomores who are deficient in Englis1 given special instructors to seek out their weak p and try to correct them. Thus instead of requiring a student to take a ce number of courses and pass them, the University is ing to aid the student in assimilating a certain n sary amount of the subject. To avoid exempting too many students, the stan to be attained is raised to include ,only a small po of those who take the tests. High school recordi investigated thoroughly, and test results are care checked. Establishing this innovation permanently in the glish department will undoubtedly lead to similai tion in other departments where it can be applied cessfully. This is a step in the right direction in making University program keep up with larger institu where this system and others like it have been exi. for some time.

Both railway comp)anies are b)einlg contacted dail telephone and by mail, and the athletic department The Gamecock are uniting in trying to effect thi duction. Those who imake the trip will find a program aIr arranged for them by the Washington Young D cratic Club of South Carolina. This group of men, composed entirely of South ( linians and including many graduates of the Un sity, will sponsor a dance in the Mayflower Hotel admit all Carolina students free on their athletic b The Carolina football team will be guests of b at the dance and will be presented to all those att ing the dance from Washington. Particular attention is being paid by the Young] ocrats to see that every student who visits in Wasi ton will enjoy his stay. Students can do just as much as the athletic de ment in seeing that the train fare is reduced arid the made possible, and whether or not it will be de~ entirely on their attitude and interest.
