At the end P of the first week of the 1945 drive contributions amounted to $500 over the prescribed goal. Only 32% of this year's enroll ment had pledged, at the latest re port, as compared with 73% last year. Actual collections come to approximately $1,370. Of this amount, the women of the campus have given $520, according to committee chairman Ludie Martin. "Y" Director 1. G. Bell explains that this deficiency is probably due to the inability of the canvassers to contact off-campus students, whose present addresses are not .4 known. Mr. Bell has announced that the campaign will be extended for an indefinite period In order to se cure a reasonable gain over the present number of pledges and con tributions. It was pointed out, the Religious Emphasis Week alone will cost the "Y" over $1,000. Kay Kyser To Give Carolina Plug Tonigh Bill Donly, Phi Sigma Kappa pledge, has used the old relative routine to the greater glory of USC. A second cousin of Kay Ky ser, the "old professor" of the "College of Musical Knowledge," Pledge Donly continued his five year correspondence with a letter on October 12th in which he asked a favor for his alma mater. In re ply he received the following tele gram on Saturday past, to wit: "Reference to Carolina-Clemson game will be made on show Oc tober 23rd-regards, Kay." This recognition on Kyser's pro gram is not customary although the "professor" formerly made it a practice when his show ran for one full hour over the network. However, the program now runs for only one-half hour and the University of South Carolina is receiving an honor not given often. The show carrying the plug for the Gamecocks will be presented 'Mocally over WIS (NBC) at 10:30 p. m. tonight.

Student Body Presidents Of 15 Southern Colleges Urge Increase In Funds By FRED LOCKE Fred Brogdon, a president of the USC student body, returned Monday from a meeting of student body presidents of fifteen southern colleges at the University of Ten nessee in Knoxville, reporting that a resolution was passed urging "serious study" of legislative ap propriations for universities throughout the South. Declaring in the resolution that southern state legislatures by appropriations must keep pace with expanding enrollments of uni versities, the group directed the chairman to send them copies of the resolution for distribution to governors, trustees, and univer sity officials in southern states represented. Every state in the South except Kentucky and Florida was represented. Colleges represented were the University of Tennessee, Univer sity of Virginia, Virginia Poly technic Institute, Virginia Military Institute, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, Duke University, University of South Carolina, University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, University of Alabama, Univer sity of Mississippi, Mississippi State, Washington and Lee Unii (Continued on Page 8) norrow 's Game Hit 'em again!

He said that he had been informed that some 2,000 tickets were in the hands of scalpers "for the purpose of robbing people." The Governor said he had been told that one man had more than 30 tickets which were selling for $20 apiece. University officials some time ago said that only four tickets were being sold to any one person. In a statement Monday, Dick Anderson, executive secretary of the BAM Club, stated that, "There may be 2,000 tickets in the hands of scalpers, but if there are, they did not come from this office by direct sale." Anderson further stated that it might have been possible for'scalp ers to accumulate small stocks of Carolina-Clemson game tickets, possibly by having students buy them a few at a time for a small commission. "i see no way to stop this, however, so long as author ized purchasers are willing to co operate with the scalpers," Ander son said. Anderson said that as usual, some blocks of tickets had -been sold, but that in every case such sales were made to benefactors of Carolina who have made it a stand ard practice to purchase such tic ket blocks for many years in the past.
