COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 19 13 yot,te( I,,. Therapy Course To Be Offered By Polio Group Scholarship Made Available To Get 5,000 Assistants Scholarships for training in physi cal therapy under the $1,267,600 pro giam of The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are available im mediately for classes commencing in June and July, Basil O'Connor. presi dent of the National Foundation an uiounced today. As a result of the increasing use of physical therapy in the treatment of infantile paralysis and other diseases, and because of the acute shortage of trained personnel, the National Foun datiiln is offering these scholarships for nine to twelve months' courses in approved schools of physical therapy. The scholarships will cover tuition an( maintenance in accordance with the student's needs. "There are opportunities at the present time for the full emuployment of ;,ooo additional physical therapists throughout the nation," Mr. O'Connor said. "Hlowever, present day teaching facilities at approved schools can ac commodate approximately only r,ooo students. Teaching facilities at these schools will be increased by additional teachers obtained through the Na tional Foundation's teaching fellow fel w ships so that the training capacity of the schools can meet the full require ments of the profession." Pointing out that there are only 2.500 qualified physical therapists in the United States, with more than half of them in the armed services, Mr. O'Connor said it would require several years to train the additional thousands of physical therapists needed. "The postwar possibilities in this field are almost without limit. Physi cal therapy is a vocation in which there is. no overcrowding and the scholarships offer opportunities for professional careers," ir. -O'Connor emphasized. The training peogran will be car ried out with the assistance of a spe cial committee under the chairman ship of Dr. Irvin Abell, of Louisville, Ky., chairman of the Board of Re gents of the Amcrican College of Surgeo:s. Candidates for National Founda tion scholarships must have two years of college, including biology and other basic sciences, or be graduates of ac credited schools of nursing or physi cal education.

Clarios Flail Amendments To Constitution Committee Advice Is "Ill-Advised" Panel Declares Changes in the Student >ody Constitution proposed by a com mittee appointed by Willie P. Ilor ton, student body president, were the subject oi a round table dis cussion at the meeting of the Clariosophic Literary Society Tiues day night. The panel was led by the society critic, Dick Vanderveen, and was composed of Herb Beitel, Ernest Davis, Jimmy 'artlow, and Bob Peters. Partlow was asked to discuss the proposed addition to the student council of representatives from each of the four leadership fraternities. He expressed the opinion of the group at largV when he labeled this a senseless measure. "The only purposc of expanding the student council." he stated, "is to make it more representative of the opinion of the student body itself. As this body has no voice in the selection of the members of these fraternities, they have little contact with the pulse of student opinion, and can, in no Way, exert any authority over the student body itself." Beite! recommended that, if a ,di tional members of the student coun cil were needed, thcy should be selected by the student body in its regular elcctions. Concerning the proposed amnend mQR allowing an additional unex cused absence from a student coun cil mnecting, Peters tggrsted th'at the idea he abandoned completely. If a mener of this body is not conscious enough of the inpir tan ce of hi_ position to aticnd c cr nmeeting poss:ible, he does not de serve this lo'nor." he ,tated.

Vanderveen summed u the opit ion; of the panel by stating that ''the majority of the rccomnienda tions of the constituti:onal commit tee arc singularly ill advised, and should never he approved by the student body."
