Mrs. McKissick
Completes Fund
For Scholarship
The sum of $2,344 was pre
sented to the university Septem
ber 3 by Mrs. J. Rion McKissick,
wife of the late president of the
university, Frank F. Wilbourne,
treasurer of the school announced
this week. The donation was for
the completion of the McKissick
Memorial scholarship.
Last spring students and or
ganizations of the university be
gan a campaign to raise $10,000
for a scholarship in memory of the
late president. However, until
September 3 of this year only $7,
656 had been raised through the
student activities and personal
contributions, Mr. Welbourne said.
Interest on this fund will be used
to provide scholarships for stu
dents showing promise of future
usefulness to South Carolina. As
yet a committee has not been ap
pointed for the scholarship by
Norman M. Smith, president of the
university.
Carolina Corsairs Are
To Be Inactivated Due
To Insufficient Number
Because an insufficient number
of students were present at the
meeting called in order to re
organize the Carolina Corsairs, the
platoon will not drill at the Caro
lina-Clemson game this year. Of
the 40-odd men who agreed to
drill with the Corsairs, only 26
,came to the final meeting. Thirty
eight men are necessary to con
stitute a complete platoon.
"Rather than have an incom
plete platoon, which would be
detrimental to the good reputation
attained by the Corsairs in the last
four years, I suggest that the
platoon be inactivated this year. I
do hope the Corsairs can be re
A organized next year," states Ha
rold M. Hewell, leader.

ts To Be Sold
Jemson Game
By BOB GUNTER
Dick Anderson, chairman of the
athletic committee, stated today
that there would be no date tickets
sold for the Carolina-Clemson
classic this season; however mar
ried veterans may obtain tickets
for their wives upon presenting
their marriage certificates.
There have been rumors that
the reason for date tickets not be
ing sold for this game is that the
students have been taking unfair
advaYitage of the seating situation.
"Even though some students have
been using foul methods in obtain
ing seats for their friends, this is
not the reason for not selling date
tickets to the Carolina-Clemson
game. There just isn't enough
seating space available for the stu
dents and their dates," Anderson
said.
When asked If this meant the
end of date tickets being sold An
derson said, "Definitely not, date
tickets will continue to be sold for
the other games of the season."
Benches will be put up in front
of the student sections to accom
modate about 400 students. Ander
son estimates that About 4,353
seats will be available for the Car
olina students and their wives.

Thirty representatives of Uni
