'Chase E Fake SoJ Claim To Be USC Students John A. Chase,' Jr., dean of ad ministration at the University of South Carolina, said today that he had been told that a number 'of magazine subscription solicitors working in Columbia were falsely representing themselves as Univer sity students. "So far as I know, 'there are no University students engaged in magazine solicitation in the city," Dean Chase said. He urged all citizens approached by solicitors who claim to be Caro lina students to require them to present proof of their enrolment at the Univeisity. The best proof, he said, is the student athletic card, which bears the name and the pic ture of the holder. Dean Chase said a number of complaints 'had come to him from Columbians who said that solicitors representing themselves as Univer sity students had obtained money from prospective subscribers by misrepresentation. "If there are any University students engaged in legitimate so licitation, they will certainly not object to displaying their athletic cards as proof of their identity," Dean Chase said. Dean Frierson Speaks To Selden Society Dean J. Nelson Frierson of the University law school was the prin cipal speaker at a meeting of the Selden Society held last Wednes day night in the Abney memorial library. The subject of Dean Frierson's speech was "John Selden." In his speech, Dean Frierson discussed the life of Selden and the impor tant part which he played in the history of his time. Included on the program was an address by Nathaniel Barnwell, a member of the senior law class, on "Character Requirements in Ad mission to the Bar." In his address Barnwell pointed out that the law profession generally had not re tained the high respect to which it is entitled due to the number of unfit applicants gaining admis sion to the bar. He stressed the need for higher character qualifica tions and reminded the law stu dents of their responsibility in this regard. Remarks were made by Professor M. S. Whaley and Coleman Karesh. The meeting was presided over by William H. Blackwell, president of the organization. -U. 8. a. Many Accidents During Holidays Warn students home for the holi days that this is the peak period for serious automobile accidents, advises James S. Kemper, nationally known safety leader and president of the Lumbermens Mutual Casualty 'Com pany of Chicago. "Analyzing 7,241 automobile acci dents in the last three years classi fied as serious, we found 523 were in the period from December 16 to January 3," said Mr. Kemper. "This shows a holiday season frequency 39 per cent above the annual rate. "Pa rents should realize that home coming students on pleasure bent are 39 per cent more apt than usual to figure in serious automobile acci dents at this season," he continued. Actually the rate doubles in the last half' of December compared with the average for December and January." Causes include late hours, drinking, bad road conditions in bad weather, and decreased visibility during these shortest days of the year. -U. S. C.

He is well known through this state because of his column in "The State", Woods and Waters. He is a lover of nature. He also writes a column, "The Persimmon Tree" which concerns the people he has met. After having read Mr. Hampton's new column, Dr. Wauchope wrote him commenting favorably upon it. "While at Carolina, Mr. Hamp ton took part in one of the earliest plays at the Town Theater, entitled "The Queen's Enemies," Dr.. Wau chope said.

Law School To Be Represented Associations Help Lawyers The University of South Caro lina Law School will send one or more delegates to the annual meet ing of the Association of American Law Schools, which will be held this year at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago on December 29, 30, and 31. The Association of American Law Schools is a voluntary asso ciation of the leading law schools of the United States and Canada which was founded in August, 1900, with the object of "the improve ment of legal education in Ameri ca, e4pecially the law schools." During the 38 years of its exist cncc it 'has achieved enormous im provement in legal education in the United States. The annual meet ings of the association furnish three days of activity in the way of a round-table discussion of live top ics of interest to the legal profes sion, and addresses are frequently made by men of national and inter national importance in the legal world. Delegates attend from all mem ber schools and participate in the discussions. As yet delegates from the University of South Carolina law school have not been selected. Miss Reid Finds Old R. R. Ticket Miss Thelma Reid, secretary to Prof. R. L. Meriwether, found in the South Carolina Manuscript room, a railway ticket of the Char lotte-Columbia-Augusta Rail Road Company, issued October 1, 1873. This ticket was good for one passenger for 100 miles and cost five dollars. It resembles a five dollar bill and has on it a picture of a locomotive and several box cars of that day. It was the 2899th ticket issued from Columbia, South Carolina. The names of the secre tary and president of the company were illegible.

Virginians n sk Dr. Havilah Babcock was recently tu honored by being elected president of sil the Virginia Society in South Caro- dce lina. This society organized several years cc ago and includes a number of South es Carolina's most outstanding men. The fiI group is composed of Virginians who te are now living in South Carolina, and ait its purpose is to promote good-will w: between these two sister states. er As Dr. Babcock said in a recent speech to the society, "South Caro- th lina is the finest place in the world le; for Virginians to live, as not only do ha the two states have a similar history, ly but also similar social customs and isi manners of living. No two states in th the union are, in my opinion, more cc hospitable toward each other than st South Carolina and Virginia." The theme of the next meeting will tu be "What South Cprolina has that at Virginia hasn't." itf Bell TelL Self Sacr Describes Struggles C ing to Educate Their The great privations which some I< families suffer to send their sons to lo Carolina were revealed in an interview with R. G. Bell, secretary of the Uni- cc versity Y. M. C. A., last week. Mr. pi Bell told a story of self-sacrifice on in the part of several students and their p parents that is almost beyond belief. One student who attended the Uni- pe versity a short time ago was given di his chance at education by money sa which his father raised by clapping h; a heavy mortgage on his 20-acre farm. th In several cases, Mr. Bell said, he th~ had tried to dissuade parents from sending their childlren to the Uniyer- st sity at such great sacrifice, especial- in ly as many had inadequate secondary pc school training, or made such low oi grades on their placement tests when siu entering the University, as to fore- b< tell almost certain failure in class- sc room work at college. But in many cases, he said, parents had their hearts de so set on giving their children the ar training that they themselves had thi missed, that the parents would hear hi none of his advice, and starved them selves, and sometimes their children th at school in order to accomplish that gi aim. 01 One student, whose family had ti managed to scrape up enough to pay to his tuition fees, managed to skim by di financially, but to do so he had to cook his own meals, and live in a fa cheap room far from the campus. tv He walked two miles to classes every cr morning. But in trying to live on se an inadequate diet, he impaired his health. His grades were dangerous- pa ly low, largely through inadequate se p reparation, partly because, as Mr. m Bell says, "he should not have tried o to come to college-some people don't ti< belong at college, and could make IBi Lost And Found 1 Mrs. Nannie T.

Rion McKis k of the University of South rolina in his semi-annual report the Board of Trustees recently. lIt is the general opinion that a w day for football at the Univer y has dawned," President Mc ssick said. rhe Board adopted a resolution knking the coaches for "their ccessful season, for their sound itude toward athletics, the Uni rsity and education, and for their luable aid in furthering the high t objectives of the University." P President McKissick praised by e me Coach Enright and Assistant E >aches Ted Twomey, Vernon atfish) Smith, Ted Petoskey and erling DuPree. "They -consti te real assets to the University, ,t only because of their coaching 1 ill but also because their atti de toward athletics, the Univer y and education is sound,". Presi nt McKissick told the board. "Because of their impartial, strict forcement of discipline, real 9 aching ability, hard work, mod ty, earnestness and uprightness, te personality and high charac r, their power to instill morale d d fighting spirit in our team, the il st season of our coaching staff t is, when all factors are consid- a ed, decidedly successful. "I am particularly impressed with e value of Coach Enright as the c ider of our athletic program. He ( s on all occasions cooperated ful- c with the faculty and the admin ration (or the highest interests of t e institution.

The plight of these students, es cially those who come from rural t stricts, is made worse, Mr. Bell ( id, by the fact that it is extremely ( .rd to place them in jobs, by which ey might be able to pay their ways rough the University. J "It is hard to find work for these uidents, because merchants prefer en who have had some kind of ex rience, and those who have lived1 ifarms most of their lives are less J ited for jobs of this kind than those lys who have had experience at e me trade," Mr. Bell stated. As to N. Y. A. assistance, many r serving men are being aided. There ( e some, howvever, who lose this aid r rough their inability to maintain a 1 gh enough scholastic standard. "We have to give what money ere is available to those boys wvho ye promise of making something ~ t ojj their college education, rather ~ an to those who are clearly doomed . fail in their class work," the "Y" rector explained.r Mr. Bell cited a case where a farm mily, which last year produced only. ro. bales of cotton (its main money op) was somehow managing to ' nid a son to Carolina. "When I see students and their ' rents make such sacrifices, and then ] e another student, with plenty of t mney to spend, throwing away his portunities for *getting an *educa- a >n, it makes my blood boil," Mr. t ill concluded. s 4ar shall To ' xhibit Painting The Southern Woman's National * emocratic Association of New ~ Drk- has invited Miss May Mar- t all, instructor in the department I Fine Arts, to exhibit one of r paintings at the exhibition hich the Association is Sponsor g.

R. Sherrill, professor of po. litical science, in an address to members of the Winnsboro Rotary club Tuesday. Dr. Sherrill said there were some students of the county government problem who advocated the oboll tion of the county as a political unit, but he disagreed, stating "it occupies an essential place in our scheme of government, and our 10 cal, state, and national well-being is dependent upon it to a surpris ingly large extent." He did, however, advocate some changes in the county system. "Some of the county services such as the highways, the public schools, and the courts should be taken over by the state. The proper field of government is anything that can be done to raise the general lpvel of prosperity and culture. There is a genuine need for the county, but its services must be expanded to meet the conditions of a more abun dant life," he said. In pointing out the necessity for reorganization of the county sys tem revealed that there were en tirely too many counties through out the South. Counties in South Carolina range in size from Chero kee County, with 373 square miles, to Berkeley, with 1,238 square miles. Population per county ranges from 10,000 to 117,000. The den sity of population per square miles varies from 17 to 153 persons per square mile. Some counties have a far larger number of industrial establishments than others. "These figures," he said, "indi cate that there are many inequali ties of taxation which ought to be remedied in all fairness to the cit izen." Ward Speaks To High School "The high school student coun cil should plan challenging activi LIC5 which will aroubc the nobiest and best in all the members of the student body," declared W. H. Ward, director of the Extension Division in an address to student high school leaders at Kingstree. Speaking on "What Student Councils can do," Mr. Ward out lined the essentials of the Univer sity's honor system as possible sug gcstions for the organization of high school honor systems. "The function of the student leader," he said, "is not so much to question rules and regulations, which are essential to public schoql, but to plan challenging activities which will bring out the best in all members of the student body." --u. g. 0.
