0On Radio Says South Carolina Does More Than Shar Of Education $outh Carolina, with only 0.5 per cent of the nation's income, had 1.86 per cent of.the nation's children to rear and educate, declared Prof. Julian J. Petty in the South Caro tia School of the Air broadcast last week. Dr. Petty, interviewed by Prof. Frank Wardlaw, director of the University News Service, outlined his findings in a recent survey made for the South Carolina State Plan ning Board. The survey compiled important statistics regarding the population trends in South Carolina. "Since 1880, the percentage of the total population under five years of age has decreased from 17.4 per cent to 11.8 per cent, but in spite of this decrease... South Carolina still has an appreciably higher proportion of its population in the younger age groups than the nation as a whole," stated Dr. Petty. "These facts sug gest that the productive workers of this state carry a much heavier bur den of child care and for education than for the country as a whole." Dr. Petty went on to state that this unequal burden is an important part of the explanation of why per capita expenditure for educational facilities are less here than in many states. The survey made by Dr. Petty, associate professor of geography at Carolina, was the first detailed pop ulation survey of South Carolina ever made. The broadcast was a regular feature presented under the auspices of the University. -U. S. C. Annual Pictures Top 850 Mark Topping all previous marks tin der the present system, 850 students have had their pictures made for the 1939 edition of "The Garnet and Black." This number is the highest since the cost of the book was excluded from the student activities fee, and is second only to one mark of about 900 set before that time. Also, one of the largest sales of year books in history has been re ported. Currie MacArthur, editor of the book, attributes the increase to the larger enrollment and to the in creased interest of students in this phase of college life. The collection of material for the annual is pro gressing rapidly. --. a. c. -Furman Continued From Page Five by them.

S. K. committee on freshman re lations, appointed a committee from the freshman class to aid with the work and said that freshmen who had not met with K. S. K. by the end of Monday's meeting would have to be reached in sonic other manner. Tom McCutcheon followed Legare with remarks on why freshmen should wear their caps. Only one freshman present at the meeting Tuesday refused to sign the pledged for. Names of all boys present were taken and their rat caps were stamped with a K. S. x. seal so that each freshman could prove that he had been checked by the organization. President Thomas announc.ed that all freshmen who re fused to wear their caps would be published in The Gamecock as boys who, in the opinion of K. S. K., were "so much dead wood" at Carolina. The questionnaire given out read as follows: "1. Do you feel that a Carolina rat cap is degrading to you? "2. Do you think that rat caps cost too much? And what do you consider would be a fair price for one? "3. Do you own a rat cap? If not, why not? "4. Will you sign the following pledge? "I pledge myself to procure a Caro lina freshman cap if I have not al ready done so, and I promise that I will wear my rat cap during the re mainder of the session of 1938-39 up to the opening of the spring holidays. In promising this I consider that I am not degrading myself in any way, but that in wearing my can I am showing my pride in being a member of the University of South Carolina student body." K. S.

He told of the bad financial condition the people of South Caro lina were in following the Civil War, and their troubles with the negroes during the years of Reconstriction. 1 Blease justified the orgization of the original Ku Klux Klan, saying that, the most honorable citizens of the state were its foumnders and mem bers. He then condemned the later members of the Ku Klux who used the organization to gain revenge for personal grievances, terming these later members a disgrace to manhood and civilization. Blease told of the conditions In South Carolina when the negro was in the Supreme Court, the legislature, and various county offices through out the State. He then talked about the redemption of South Carolina through the efforts of such men as Martin Gary, the "Bald Eagle of Edgefield," Hampton, Kershaw, Wal lace, and McGowan. He said that all manner of trickery was resorted to in overcoming the negro vote, relating that he voted seven times for Hamp ton himself. The ex-governor said that in these tryipg times the end jus tified the means resorted to, but he feared that this necessary Tascality had taught ma)y of the present-day politicians und&r-handed methods. According to Blease, a crying need of the state today is a revision of the State Constitution and its com plex and confusing laws. He said that no judge, and very few lawyers, knew the real law of the State today be cause of the overlapping and con flicting decisions.
