KSK Presents
Revisions to
Memorial Fund
Kappa Sigma Kappa has submit
-ted a first draft of the terms of the
McKissick Memorial scholarship as
suggestions to Alpha Kappa Gamma,
who will offer further suggestions.
The action was taken after the
society heard the draft as made by
the KSK-AKG scholarship commit
tee. Members of KSK made several
changes in the provisions of the
scholarship. When AKG submits
their suggestions, the draft will re
turn to the scholarship committee,
where a final document will be
drawn. This document must then
receive the approval of both organi
zations.
A suggestion was made that the
new corrider (neat the outside wall)
by the post office boxes be marked
off as one-way.
Kappa Sigma Kappa will sponsor
a contest on the campus to choose
several new original fight songs for
the use of the University of South
Carolina at football games and
other pep rallies. The songs must
be originals, written by the students
submitting them. Jerry Meecham
was appointed chairman of the con
mittee. This action was takien after
the Fred Waring song was found
unsuitable for impromptu meetings.
A gripes committee, formed sonie
time ago by KSK Is in operation
on the campus now, and has al
ready "fixed" numerous gripes.
The committee, composed of Jimmy
Lyles, chairman, and Don Sommers,
receives complaints from broken
window screens to faulty heating
service, and notifies the necessary
authorities that action should be
taken.
Plans for a banquet planned for
sometime in January, are still in
complete. New members are soon
to receive shingles, and some men
will have new keys after the Christ
mas holidays.
the girls was a pair of nylon hose
which were finally bought for $550.
The total for the bonds raised at
the rally was $1,378.75. Both Kappa
Sigma Kappa and Alpha Kappa
Gamma sponsored the dIrive with
A. K. G. sponsoring the rally.

You should really see these flashy

meeting on December 5.
Miss Bouillon, whose home was in
Paris, attended the University of
Paris until France fell to the Ger
mans. She then became interested
in aiding the work of the French
underground.
The 21 year old Parisienne en

Infirmary Adds
Temporary Wing
Dr.H. G. Waddel has announced
the completion of a temporary addi
tion to the infirmary at the Uni
versity of South Carolina. This addi
tion, which was constructed in ten
days, was built in order to house
the large percentage of University
students who were bedridden be
cause of the recent epidemic of in
fluenza on the campus.
A new 100 bed hospital to be
centrally located on the campus is
now on the University schedule;
and will he constructed as soon as
sufficicnt materials and funds are
available. The University is in dles
perate needl of such a huilding, be
cause the medical facilities now in
use are both inadequate andl obso
lete. The present infirmary wvas
built in 1908 when there wvere but
350 students attending the Univer
sity. There are now over 2,000 stu
dents enrolled in the school, and
yet there have been no. substantial
additions to the infirmary.

Church Groups
To Services
The Hillel Society conducted an
inter-faith program at the Tree of
Life Temple on Friday, December
14. The program consisted of the
regular Friday evening service con
ducted by the members of Hillel.

Guests were the YM and YW
Cabinet members and officers of
the other religious organizations.

I-meditely following the services,

Sisterhood of the temple.
Lieut. G. H. Ante" addressed the
Hillel group of the University of
South Carolina at its weekly meet
ing, Sunday, Novembet 25. He
spoke on the "Palestine Situation."
Lieutenant Antell emphasized the
fact that an agreement of the Pal
estinian situation cannot be made
until the Big Threc--UnIted States,
England, and Russia-make a set
tilement concerning the Middle
East. The present tenseness is a
result of the fight between Russia,
Britain, and the United States over
who shall control this stiategic,
oil-rich sector. Russia has gained
favor in this area during the war
because of its importance and its
proximity to the territory involved.
Her policy of permitting its com
ponent republics to administer
themselves has also impressed the
Arabs.
A discussion period followed the
talk, after which the group was
served refreshments.
liarry A. Frankel, the brother of
the founder of flillel. honored the
groul, with his plesence and gave
an informal talk o the origin and
initial difficulties of founding this
