Stokes Davis, 1939
Euphradian Proxy,
Inaugurated Tuesday
New Chosen President
Praises Founders Of
Historic Literary Group
Approximately ore hundred mem
bers and visitors packed the historic
hall of the Euphradian Literary so
ciety to capacity Tuesday night for
the annual social affair and witness
the inauguration of the society's new
president, Stokes Davis.
While refreshments were served,
short talks were made by some of
the leading members of the society.
Charles Gibbes spoke on the activi
ties of the debating council. Sev
eral past presidents of the society
were also called upon to speak.
Then President Davis delivered his
inaugural address. After expressing
his "profound and heartfelt appreci
ation" to the body for the honor con
ferred upon him, he paid tribute to
the founders of the historic 134 year
old Euphradian literary society.
He then stressed the importance of
our generation keeping the torches
of truth and liberty forever burning.
He urged the members to join the
crusade being organized to crush "the
insidious infiltrations into our eco
nomic and social order of agents rep
resenting foreign isms and sent here
by foreign leaders, who with maniacal
minds and gangrened hearts would
harness upon the American people
the oppressive and unbearable yoke
of fascism and communism."
Other new officers for the semester
are Lee Baker, vice-president; Sol
Blatt, Jr., secretary; and Bernie
Bass, treasurer.
The query to be debated next Tues
day night is: Resolved, that the U. S.
Congress should repeal the present
embargo act. President Davis ap
pointed Heyward Belser and Tom
McCutcheon to lead the affirmative
and Lee Baker and Vivyan Morse
to lead the negative.
The first initiations of the semes
ter will take place next meeting.
Figures Prove Boys
Smarter Than Coeds
More Men Than Girls

In figures released recently, it
was found that freshmen and soph
omore boys were a wee bit smarter
than the co-eds of the same classes.
The freshman and sophomore
Honor rolls for last semester given
out by Dean of Administration
John A. Chase, show that a dozen
more boys made the sophomore roll
than girls, and on the freshman list
there ,were 21 more men than
women. In both classes the school
of Arts and Sciences led the lists
of honor students with the Com
merce department a close second.

Story Of Last Week
Disclaims Gamecock
In the last issue of The Gamecock
there was a story to the effect that
Carolina would be represented this
year by its first swimming team.
Since then it has been discovered in
a dustcovered "Garnet and Black" that
the Gamecocks of 1929 also liked 1
water.
The '29 edition of web-footed
Gamecocks, although it later lost a I
return meet to Clemson, actually ac- 1
complished the now almost unheard I
of feat of licking the Tigers. That (
was back in the good old days when
the Bird had long spurs, Clemson
was just a tame kitten and Furman's
Purple Hurricane was merely an ex
aggerated whirlwind.
Carolina's first tank team was com
posed of Captain John Sholenberger,
now connected with the Columbia
Y. M. C. A.; Billy Bull, also with
the Y; William Elliott, Jr., a law
yer in Beaufort; J. H. Fowles, engi
neer for the State Planning board;
Pratt Gasque, real estate and insur
ance agent in Marion; Bland Ham
mond, Charleston Attorney; Jim Ver
ner, Darlington attorney, and Ed
ward Pritchard, Charleston attorney.
As there was then no W. P. A.,
and consequently no swimming pool
at Carolina, the \Water Birds had to
use the Columbia Y. M. C. A. nata
torium. It was because of this lack
of a suital)le place in which to take
work-outs and entertain visiting
teams that the swimming team was .
not continued.
