Over ie meeting, which was held in Callcott Finds Classes Cost $1.30 Each . . Professor Finds That Average Cost At USC Per Semester Is $234 Dr. Wilfrid H. Callcott, profes sor of history at the University of South Carolina, recently proved in one of his classes that each Carolina student pays an admission fee of $1.30 for every hour class he at tends or is supposed to attend dur ing a school year. The professor interviewed eleven students chosen at random from his class and learned that the average cost per student per year is $468. Dividing the $285,000 University appropriation of the state legis lature by the 1900 enrollees, he dis covered that each member of the student body receives $150 from this source making a total cost of $618 per student per year. Figuring an average of 11 semes ter courses taken annually by each individual, the lecturer found that one course costs $56. His final figure based upon 43 classes in each course showed that the University scholar pays $1.30 for each hour class he attends dur ing the school year., Dr. Callcott declared that at that rate those who deem it advisable to take weekends and often week days for holidays lose not only valuable time but a considerable amount of actual cash. The class in which he Idelivered his "sermon" lost $22.10 the first week. Hicks Named Life Guard For USC Swimming Pool M. L..

Bader, national director of the University Christian mission, is "to lead students and teachers to a more vital faith in God through our Lord Jesus Christ and to personal com mitment to His cause in the world."

These forums will meet iements to discuss problems of students. D Each group elects its own officers and chooses its leaders, usually a member of the faculty or a Colum bia business man. These leaders dc not make speeches, but merely lead informal discussions. Marvin Busbee, chairman of the Discussion Group committee, said that the enrollment this year prom ises to be the largest in the history of the groups. Already fourteer groups have organized and selected their leaders. The final day of en rollment is October 17. In order to keep check on the at tendance of these groups and tc stimulate interest among the stu dents in the undertaking the com mittee has worked out a point sys tem.

M. Richardson, .secretary .of .the Football committee of the Sum.. ter Fair association. By Richard Frick Going off the night time circuit, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks travel to Sumter Fri day to meet Gene McEver's David son Wildcats in the feature attrac tion of the annual Sumter county fair. The game will get under way at 2:00 P. M. Last season the formidable Game cocks trounced the Wiidcats 25-0 but this year it appears as if the football fans at Sumter will see a hard, close fought gridiron encoun ter. Davidson has shown surprising finess and power in its opening three games, while the Birds, missing the combined prowesses of Ed Clary and Larry Craig, have not yet been able to function in high gridiron gear. Davidson Starts Sopha Starting the season with sopho mores, Coach McEver was rated little chance by sports scribes of turning out a ball club capable of worrying the powerful football combinations of North Carolina State, Duke, and V. M. I. But the former All-American from Tennes see fooled them. It took a strong fourth quarter rally by the Wolfpack to nose out Davidson 18-14. Next came Duke and the Blue Devils, who went un scored on last season, only led the Wildcats 7-6 at the half before go ing on to add several more tallies. A safety was the margin of victory the boys from V. M. I. could eke out over Davidson. At South Carolina, Rex Enright has been plagued with sophomoric pigskin performances and more than the proper share of injuries. Although they dropped their first three gamnes to Wake Forest, Cath olic, and Villanova, the Gamecocks are still expected to steadily im prove and possible unleash another "November Offensive." Air Route Expected It is very likely that the game Friday will develop into a forwvard passing affair. Tossing them for the Wildcats will be Granville Sharpe, a sure-fire pigskin pitcher who con nected 12 times out of 27 tries against North Carolina State.

All of these leaders have had much experience with young people in college. Many of them have been with the Christian mission in its religious weeks all over the country. The ultimate aim of the mission is to use these speakers to reach every campus group at least once during the week. To accomplish this there will be daily seminars, or forums; convocations, and discussions with the several academic departments of Carolina. In addition all students and profes sors will be given the chance to have personal interviews with any of the mission's speakers. These appoint-. (CONTINUED ON PASt S)
