McCall Makes
Grading Charts
The personnel bureau is working on
a new set of grade-point charts which,
says Prof. W. C. McCall, should elim
inate laborious calculations annually
and semi-annually. Given a student's
grades the chart will at once evolve
an average..
Students working the personnel
office have already completed one set
of charts and are working on others.
Winthrop College and the Columbia
Blible College are collaborating with
the University in the work.

Blue Key To G
Gate Fund, S
Spann To Play
For Gym Benefit
Blue key fraternity, in an effort
to raise money to erect gates at the
main entrances to the campus, a move
ment begun last year, will hold an
informal dance on March 3 in the
gymnasium, Jim Cothran, president,
announced yesterday.
Buster Spann's orchestra will play
for the affair, which will begin at
10 p. m. and last till 2 a. m. Script
will be $0.75.
Blue Key began planning for the
gates last spring. Plans were drawn
up, and University officials consulted,
but no definite action was taken.
Cothran said that it was hoped that
enough money could be raised so that
the proposed gates could become a
reality. A list of sponsors for the
dance was not complete when The
Gamecock went to press this week.

Plaster Bust

On Left Eye
Lord Byron, the romantic poet,
jumped a couple of centuries and came
back to kayo Torn Walker, ace Caro
lina pianist, in the University library
last week.
The limping, loving poet clipped
a clean gash above the ivory special
ist's left eye.
What the plaster likeness of Lord
Byron had gainst him, Tom was a
loss to say. However, Walker de
clared that he'll "get even."
Rumor has it that Byron's act was
the outburst of a conspiracy by the
Union of Plaster Busts (not a C. I.
0. affiliate) designed to revenge the
frequent pencil and lipstick disfigura
tions of the bust at the head of the
library steps.
The theory that the violence was
due to professional jealousy was dis
counted, as the twvo, living and dead,
were not geniuses in the same field.
Walker studying in an alcove in
the library, arose to go out, when
he tangled head on with the bard.
He (Walker) came away with a nas

was undertermined, but was thought
not to be serious.

Representative Calhoun Thomas,
chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, was initiated into the
University of South Carolina chap
ter of Omicron Delta Kappa, na

night in the crystal room of the
Columbia Hotel.
Mr. Thomas was an outstanding
campus leader when he was a stu

one of the organizers of Kappa

president of that organization.
The principal speech of the even

Rion McKissick. It was originally
planned to have Governor Burnet

New Officers
The newly elected officers of the

vice-president; and St. Clair Muck

Three Good Fighters
Real trouble threatened to rear its
ugly head over the featherweight and
lightweight seedings when three
schools turned up with the fighters
on a par with each other in dual
meets-and the discussion turned into
heated debate several times before
compromises settled the issues. For
the most part, the other five weights
were seeded without too much dif
ficulty.
In the lightweight class, Maryland,
South Carolina, and Duke each had
a champion with an exceptional rec
ord. Chuck Kasik of Duke was un
defeated in the 1939 season and held
victories over Lou Carleo of South
Carolina and Benny Alperstein of
Maryland. Alperstein, twice nation
al champion and present holder of
the national and conference inter
collegiate featherweight title, and Lou
Carleo, who has a record of five wins,
a draw, and one loss, presented the
committee with the most difficult seed
ing task of the night. The final out
come placed Chuck Kasik, Duke cap
tain, in the upper bracket, and Al
perstein and Carleo in the lower
bracket. Carleo and the Maryland
captain can meet in the semi-finals
but neither of them can meet Kasik
until the finals Saturday night. This
promises an unusually important clash
of champions for the semi-finals on
Saturday afternoon.
127 Pounder:e Tough
Andy Gennett (North Carolina),
Bob McCrady (South Carolina), and
Edgar Ross (Clemson) furnished the
firewvorks in the 127 pound class, and
the committee wound up by placing
the undefeated Gennett alone in the
top bracket, while McCrady and Ross
will not meet in the preliminaries btt
will postpone their mayhem for the
semi-finals, if they both can whip
their prehim opponents.
Milton Berry of Clemson, and Billy
Austin of Virginia Tech, were seeded
number one and number two in the
bantamweight division. The Tiger
120 pounder, together with Clarence
Peeler o.f The Citadel, drew a bye for
the prelimmnary bout and so will not
meet until Saturday afternoon. Austin,
however, victim of bad luck in the
drawings, must fight George Derr,
veteran Maryland southpaw, in the
prelimis, while Jimmy H-arrelson of
South Ca rolina tangles with Billy
Winstead of North Carolina.
At 127 pounds, the Tarheel Gen

for his Friday night opener, while
Faison Jordan of Duke, also in the
top bracket, drew a bye. McCrady
