Talk Aired By Radio Stations WIS And WCOS George Washington's Advice Is Subject Of Senator's Speech Rush Dew Holt, junior senator from West Virginia, and youngest member of the United States Sen ate, made a Washington Birth day address before a large crowd at Drayton Hall last night. Senator Holt was introduced by Dick Tow ill, secretary of the Carolina Stu dent Forum, which sponsored Sena tor Holt's talk and had entire charge of last night's program. Towill also presided over the meeting. Is Youngest Solon "George Washington's Advice" was the subject of Senator Holt's talk. His speech was broadcast from 7:30 to 8:00 over both Colum bia radio stations, WIS and WCOS, and was heard throughout the state. At the conclusion of the talk Senator Holt was asked many ques tions by the audience. He vehe mently opposed a third term for President Roosevelt, saying a third term would violate one of the cardi nal precepts of our unwritten con stitution. Is An Independent Rush Holt is the youngest man ever to take office as United States Senator. He was elected in 1936 and is serving his first term. At the time of his election there was a fight to keep him from taking his seat, it being claimed that he had not reached the age of 30, the constitu tional minimum for Senator. How ever, after a stiff battle, Holt was finally seated. In the Senate, though normally a Democrat, Senator Holt has been in a class by himself. He has consis tently fought the administration and its New Deal program. Senator Holt finished college at the age of .19 and after graduation was a teach er and athletic coach in several West Virginia high schools. He got his start politically by serving sev eral terms as representative in the West Virginia legislature and then in 1936 made the surprising jump to the United States Senate. Holt is the second speaker brought here by the Carolina Student Forum this semester, Senator Claude Pep per, New Deal Democrat from Florida, having preceded him. Alpha Kappa Gamma Revives Loan Fund Alumnae Assist In Raising More Money Alpha Kappa Gamma and the Alumnae Association of the Uni versity of South Carolina have been working during the past fewv years on a student loan fund. Five stu dents were loaned a total of $287, making it possible for them to regis ter for the second semester. Over the last four years, since the Alumnae Association revived this fund, they have loaned about $500. So far every person to whom. a loan has been made has begun to repay the money within the first year after leaving college. Alpha Kappa Gamma raises its funds by various means, including gifts from other student organi zations. The Alumnae Association, at an annual banquet, has roll call, in which all members are called on to give any amount to build up the scholarship fund. Gifts last year ranged from 50 cents to $25.

W. H. Ward of the University of South Carolina extension, made this startling statement this week. Daily, requests from "how to give a bride's shower" to in formation about medicinal herbs are received by Mrs. D. R. Riser of the package librarp Although the majority of the letters are from South Carolina, many other states are represent ed. In January, 105 letters of re quest were delivered to the ex tension division package library. One person from London, England desired a bulletin that Prof. George McCutcheon wrote whereas another wished in formation about a streamlined Thanksgiving! "Well, we don't always know what the] mean," Mrs. Riser explained, "but 'we try to give . them the best we can." She sent in a menu for a modem Thanksgiving dinner. From Arizona, a woman asked for material about Thom as Mann and Einstein for a pro gram on "Genius and It's Ex iles." Many people seem to desire date o" 'lRomnance of sh=1z" and "Romance of Cheese," hmmm. Another Arizonian desires hieroglyphic symbols of South Carolina. (Some professors might contribute their students' themps that they've never been able to read.) Some one, flatterer, wrote in that she wanted a cutting of Roosevelt's neutrality speech, but it would. take a smart per son to condense it. She hoped the University extension would cut it from the original 28 min utes to about 8 minutes long. No doubt the Steward's Hall will resent this: When some one desired our best recipes, the letter was forwarded to Win throp College! "This makes for absolute fairness in the contest," said R. G. Bell, Sec retary of the Y. M. C. A., "and we shall try to adhere strictly to this rule in the future."

Knudson, president of Kiwanis International spent only four hours in Columbia and the state of South Carolina on his recent trip to visit the local Kiwanis chapter, he found time to spend much of this period on the University of South Carolina campus.
