Last year conditions were not soa favorable for the absorption of young men in business and the rate of placement was slower but every grad uate was offered at least one position along the line of his preparation, Dean Olson said. , The commerce dean attributed these results to two vital factors in the training of school of commerce students; subject matter that is up to-date and which is measured in terms of present day business needs; and continuous training in the pres ent clay application of this knowlCdgc throughout a four year period which develops the analytical power an ini tiative of the student and make, him familiar with actual business condi tions to be met in the field. Probably 90 per cent of all positions offered to college graduates originate from some type of business enter prise. Before schools of commerce and business administration wvere made a part of our University system, the demand far exceeded the supply and students educated in the arts and sciences were qften given the oppor tunity of entering business organiza tions and working their way up by way of the apprenticeship route, Dean Olson continued. "Today however, business is so complex and competition so keen that the average firm has no time to train beginners and the task of train ing these young men is now recog nized as one belonging to the colleges and universities and schools of comn merce and business administration are called upon to supply these needs," he said. Among the firms looking to South erni schools of commerce for adldition al personnel are Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.; General Motors' and Gen eral Motors Acceptance Corporation; Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.; Has kinis and Sells, Price Waterhouse andl Co. ; and numbers of credlit, insurance, (Continued on Page Si.x) Faculty Establis1 Accepts League's A few weeks ago, Paul League, sports editor of The Gameccock handed in ,an excuse to the Registrar's office, which stated that his absence from a class was due to confusion causedl b)y the Friday-then-Thursday-then Friday again chapel schedule that the University recently adopted. Correspondence concerning the matter wvas published in last week's Gamecock. Flinni Gilland, Assis tant Registrar, informed League that he would "refer your letter to the next meeting of the faculty as a protest against the 'present sysS temn' for any action they may care to take in amending the 'system' and also to establish a precedent regarding the acceptance of your ex cuse and those of a similar nature," This week, League received th% C'S Al D TON na Beauties r L Kappa Pres Lovelies Will Drayton Hall Twenty-two of Carolina's most beautiful co-eds, two from each so rority and six from among the non sorority group, will parade across the stage of Drayton Hall Monday night, when Kappa Sigma Kappa presents its annual campus Beauty Pageant.

Les Precedent; Absence Excuse following letter: Office of Dean of A,dministration, March 17, 1939. Mr. Paul League, Cam pus, My dear~ Mr. League': I am pleased to advise you that your excuse for absence fromn His tory 22 on Thursday, March 2, has been accepted. Cordially yours, John A. Chase, Jr., Dean of Administration. If the faculty intends to accept this action as a precedent, to be used in similar cases, as inidicated by Gilland's letter, then legitimate ex cuses of a similar nature, caused by con fusion over the confusing chapel schedule, will be accepted by the regis trar's office in the fusture.

Songs, skits, and nqusic will be furnished between the parades of campus beauties. Henry West brook's orchestra, the University men's glee club, and tentatively a jug band from Booker T. Washing ton colored school will appear on the program. Guyton said that the glee club had arranged a special rendition of the number "Lady's Day" for the occasion. First on the program will be President J. Rion McKissick, who will introduce James Thomas, presi dent of K. S. K. The stage, according to Guyton, will be arranged as a flower gar den. The girls will appear on the stage out of a "pool" in the middle, apparently rising out of the floor. (Continued on Page Six) "Politiparty" Just A Fiasco, Say Opponents Co-eds Can't Smoke Five Cent Cigars According to news from the sour grapevine-from the other side of the political fence-the reception held this week at one of the local hotels for the purpose of garnering much needed votes was as dull as the week you spent one Sunday af ternoon. Dame Rumor-the old gal is still around-has it that the "party" was precipitated by a "break" in one of the strong political factions on the campus. And one the dis gruntled politicos, redundant with mazuma, made overtures to the op position. To prove that he was sincere and that it was not just another insidi ous scheme of political espionage, the "outcast"-still looking at the situation from the other side of the fence-appointed himself as the one man entertainment committee, and., ising some good old currency, hired a hotel room, and furnished all the refreshments. No Votes Wasted So that the food might not be wvasted--or votes wasted-several improvised agents scoured the cam pus and informed all the lawn loungers that if they wvere thirsty and wvanted a goodl five cent cigar for nothing to go to so and such ..and don't forget to vote for... you guess who. Tro listen, howvever, to the fac tion that "rani" the gay afternoon affair, you wvouIld believe that it was an orgy befitting England's corpulent I1Ienry VIII. And, fur thermore, the cigars were just what the campus needed. \Vhether this ostenitatious gathering will have any direct bearing on the utcome of the election is conjec tulre. According to experienced :ampus political observers the co eds control the electoral tide. This was a stag party. -u. A. c.

MacMichael also told of the num ber of American colleges which have raised funds after hearing of the need among students in China. "Twenty dollars of American money will enroll a Chinese student and pay all of his expenses for one year," lie declared. "One dollar will feed a person for a whole month."
