A. freshman camp which is held every year just before the opening of school. In an effort to make room for more freshmen, R. G. Bell, secretary, has !nnounced that there will be only 2upecassmen counselors at the camp this September. 'Last year there were 20 present. Anyone interested in being a coun selor at the camp is asked to put in an application immediately to Tom Jolly. These applications will be considered' by the freshman camp committee and a representative group chosen. Last year there was an overflow crowd at the camp. About 15 boys were turned down while 94 attended. A much larger group is expected this year. At the camp the heads of the va rious schools speak to the boys and help them arrange their courses. The upperclassmen try to give the new boys information that will help them when they reach the campus. In the opinion of Mr. Bell, the camp has proved very helpful to boys attend ing.

Chief of the changes will be the addition of an hour to the time dur ing which the pool is open in the af ternoon. Henceforth the pool will remain open until 6:30 p. m. instead of 5:30, as has been the arrange ment since the pool opened. The suggestion for the change in arrangements was made by Prof. Charles F. Mercer, faculty member of the swimming pool committee. Second Major Change A second major change in the schedule of the pool was made in "reversing" the hours for men and women on Tuesdays and Thursdays. One reason advanced for the change in schedule was that many students with laboratory courses have been unable to get off from their afternoon classes in time to swim before the closing time of the pool. The "reversal" of the daily sched ule was designed to equalize the swimming opportunities of men and women. Men Schedule The new schedule follows: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Girls, 3 p.'in. to 4:30 p. in.; boys, 4:30 to 6:30. Tuesday and Thursday: Boys, 3 p. m. to 5 p. mn.; girls, 5 p. m. to 6:30 p. m. Saturday: Mixed swimming, 3 p. m. to 6:30 p. m. Members of the committee present at the meeting were Dr. J. E. Copen haver, chairman; Dean of Women Arney Childs, Prof. Charles F. Mer cer, Frank Urban, and John Crews.

The skits and dances are part of this show and fol low various%backstage scenes of the actions of these six students. "Rehearsals are being held twice daily," Stephan stated, "because we want no last minute slip-ups. I think I can safely say that there will be none.

Rion McKissick, R. H-. Wienefeld, profes sor of history at the University of South Carolina, lectured before the Kingstree Kiwanis - club Tuesday evenmng. Wienefeld's subject was the cur rent state of affairs in -Europe. The demand for Wierfefeld's ser' vices as a lecturer has.been unusual ly heavy lately because of the imi nent situations in Europe. J. Rion McKissick, president of the University, was scheduled to speak before the Kingstree ~up but urgent business caused a chage in his plans. Po Get Courts $500 Needed To Match Gift Of Government K. S. K., at the request of the Administration has started a drive to raise $500, the amount needed to help the University match Federal funds required for construc tion of a number of new ten nis courts-on the campus. Altogether, $11,000 is needed for construction of the new courts. The present plan calls for the University to furnish $2,000 worth of materials and for the engineering school to furnish $500 worth of service under direction of Prof. R. L. Sumwalt. This amount, $3,000, is the sum necessary in order to obtain an additional $8,000 from the Federal government. K. S. K. Lead Pool Drive K. S. K., which began the move ment for the construction of a swim ming pool at the University, a drive which culminated in the construction of the present $108,000 natatorium, was asked by the administration of the University to put on a campaign to raise $500 of the necessary amount, Jimmy Thomas, president of K. S. K. stated. K. S. K. members are canvassing non-fraternity men and faculty mem bers living on and off the campus. Alpha Kappa Gamma and the Co-ed Association are cooperating in the drive by canvassing the non-sorori ty girls of the student body. Fra ternities and sororities have been asked to collect contributions from their members. "There will be no better courts in this section of the country," pre dicted Prof. R. L. Sumwalt, who has offered his services, and the ser vices of engineering students, in sur veying and similar work. Societies Contribute It was announced this week, that each of the two boys' literary socie ties have voted to contribute $13 each toward the fund. Students have been urged by Jim my Thomas not to wait until they have been contacted, but to make any contribution they can immediately to any member oi K. S. K. or Alpha Kappa Gamma. Since the beginning of construction of new buildings on the campus, ten nis courts have gone by the -board. Construction of the Student Union building necessitated the destruction of three courts; the new men's dormi tory, now under construction, sits wvhere four courts were formerly lo cated; the new women's dormitory, also under construction at the present time, has necessitated the destruction of two courts, and partial destruction of two others. 6 Courts Here At present., there are six usable courts on the campus. Of these, two _are in poor condition due to proximity of building activities; two (Continued on Page Si.x) Debate Team Goes North Plan To See World's Fair The University debating team will entrain for its annual northern tour April 25, John Norris, chairman, an nounced today.
