[IT HE Insufficiency Of Loan Fund Cited By Bell A recent check-up as to the bal ance of the Student Emergency Loan Fund has revealed that the fund has not been increased dur ing the last two months. R. G. Bell, chairman of the committee for Scholarships, Loans, and Student Self-Support, dis closed yesterday that the fund still carries the $625 general bal ance it had earlier this year. Hopes for increasing this "insufficient" amount, either through contribu tions or through legislative action, are "slim indeed," according to Bell. "This standard amount," ,j went on to explain, "decreases with every loan completed and, of course, correspondingly in creases with every loan repaid." Initiated last December with a $300 donation by President Smith, the fund reached its present total with the contributions made early in January by two anonymous donors. The fund is designed for the use of Carolina veterans who are experiencing delays in receiv ing subsistence checks. There are three stipulations required of each loan transaction, namely (1) the k borrower must be a veteran, (2) he must need the money for emer gency purposes, and (3) he must repay his loan as soon as his sub y sistence pay comes through, so that the funds will be made avail able for future loans. a Bell stated that the loans have helped relieve the financial distress of innumerable university vet (Continued on Page 4) 5 Dutch War Orphan Has Foster Fathers d In Pi Kappa Alpha - Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha has c adopted Anthonia Elizabeth Van Tol, a young refugee now resid ing in Uithoorn, Holland. Her adoption was brought about I, through the efforts of the Foster n Pare ts Plan for War Children, who are in touch with refugee r children needing help. s Tony, only ten years old, still suffers from the effects of mal f nutrition and other hardships to which she was subjected during the war. Her father was an active I member of the Dutch underground a before his death from starvation n in a concentration camp. The Ges o tapo questioned her frequently, hoping her innocence would di - vulge information about her father's activities. She is still a little shy about her American "Foster Fathers" but the regular packages of food, clothing, and toys are helping her to enjoy some of the pleasures of childhood she has missed so far. rThe Pi Kappa Alphas write to Tony regularly and an~ interpreter, - a staff member of the Foster 'Parents Plan for War Children, -translates their letters.

'eek Of Events; ssernbly Today Lt. Gov. Speaks To KSK Members At Annual Banquet "If a better South Carolina is to be created it must be through the combined efforts of the young people of our state, acting with sane and intelligent enthusiasm and profiting by the experiences and mistakos of the past," de clared Lieutenant-Governor George Hell Timmerman, Jr., in an after dinner speech at the annual Kap pa Sigma Kappa banquet last Fri day night. Mr. Timmerman, a former stu dent of the university's School of Law, said that although the South has been in economic bondage for almost a century. it should be one of the wealthiest sections in America because of its favorable location, good climate, fertile lands, natural resources, and cap able citizens. In order to he freed from this hondage, ?lr.. Timmerman said that the "greatest economic boon that could come to our state would lbe for our people to pool their rap)ital and establish home-con tol led andl owvned, divers ified in - dlust ries."

Smith yesterday sent to the city schools permission to use the Carolina Stadium for all high school foot ball games. "Our principal wish is to cooperate to the fullest and to render you all practicable as sistance," the president said. The move, according to Smith, was proposed mainly to curtail noise which would bother student patients at the infirmary and also on the campus by playing the games on Melton Field. The problem was presented to the Athletic Committee of the Board of Trustees. After "due consideration" permission was granted to use the stadium with three conditions: These conditions listed by the president were: (1) That the field will not be used by the high schools on the nights that the university requires the field for its own use. (2) That the field will not be used except on Friday and Satur day evenings and so far as prac ticable, the use will be limited to Saturday evenings. (3) That permission to use Mel ton Field will cease when the lights have been installed at the stadium. A copy of these restrictions was sent to Dr. A. C. Flora, superin tendent of the city schools, and si multaneously to the principals of Dreher, Columbia, and the Uni versity High schools. The location of Melton Field on Green street was considered the major reason for this move by the Board committee. The noise, ac cording to the report, is disturbing to both the patients in the Univer sity infirmary, adjacent to the field and to students living in Preston, Woodrow, Snowden and Burney dormitories, directly across the street. Board members who served on this athletic committee are Sol. Blatt, chairman, C. B. Seaborn, Frank M. Simrill, J. D. Parler, and .J. A. Knight. The Carolina Stadium, built in 19134, is located two miles south east of the campus at the Fair Grounds. This location for high school events would eliminate the objections listed by the Board Coinmitteec. Ca rolinda r TU'ESD)AY, MARCH 4 Student Assembly, 12 noon, Chapel.
