C. P.) Casting a dash of cold water on the high hopes of the members of the class of '42, Boston University's Dean E. W. Lord has predicted that not more than one-half of the na tion's newest crop of collegians will grad uate. And to back up his prediction, Dean Lord quotes you statistics from a survey he has just complet ed. The survey reveals that of 214 000 freshmen who entered colleges fotir years ago, 99,644 failed to com plete the four-year course--and that is less than half of the original registrants included in his survey. Dean Lord estimates that be tween 25,000 and 30,000 students drop out of school each year be cause of failure in studies. His figures also show that the mortality rate is highesi among freshmen and lowest among jun iors. Of the 60,000 freshmen who fhmiked school, Dean Lord remarks that 5,000 should not have been ad mitted in the first place. And, strangely enough, 19,000 students will fail in their senior year after having successfully completed three Fo,oth 1edules Baseball March: 29, 30 Michigan State, here April: 3, 4 Ohio University, here 7, 8 Georgia, there 11 Citadel, here 13 Erskine, there 15 Pittsburg, here 18 Newberry, here. 19 Furman, there 21, 22 Georgia Tech, here 24,.25 Georgia, here 27 Clemson, there 29 P.

To B For Tigers 5" 4NJ Cagers Lose Close Game To Georgia The University of South Caro lina dropped another basketball game to the University of Georgia last Tuesday night at the Univer sity field house. Fighting against a more experienced team, Carolina, minus the services of Capt. Padge Hutto, lost by the score of 49 to 34. The Gamecocks held the Geor gians even in the first part of the game, but weakened as the play increased and Georgia led 24 to 12 at the half. Starring for Carolina were: Julie Hymson and Gene Alexander, who was playing with an injured leg. Carolina opened up an offense in the second half that brought the score up to 35 to 30, but Georgia soon began sinking shots again, and ran away with the game. Capt. Hutto, who is suffering from a hernia, will probably be out for the remainder of the season, said Coach Ted Petoskey.
