USC Stadium
Enlargement
To Be Delayed
Not To Be Completed
For Football Season
Work on enlarging the seating
capacity of Carolina stadium will
definitely not be completed by the
fall term, President Norman M.
Smith said this week.
Completion is being slowed be
cause of the lack of steel and con
tinued scarcity of necessary tech
nical equipment.
The university began advertis
ing last week for bids on furnish
ing and installing general light
ing under the stands and flood
lighting the field, Smith said.
Plans, specifications and con
tract documents are open for in
spection at the offices of Robert
L. St!mwalt, university engineer,
and Carroll. Johnson, university
architect.
The president expressed doubt
as to whether the lighting can be
completed in time for the 1948
football season because of scarcity
of technical equipment. Work on
enlarging the seating capacity was
begun early this year, but has been
constantly hindered by shortages
of material.
Enlargement of the stadium was
provided for at the 1948 session
of the General Assembly, which
voted a $175,000 appropriation for
this purpose.
Euphradiaiis Hold

the seal and colors of the society,
which has been used by the or
ganization over 100 years.
Prof. H. C. Davis of the English
department addressed the mem
bers and guests on the value of
tradition, and new officers of the
society were sworn in.
Tom Williamson wvas adminis
tered the oath of office of presi
dent by Jack Nettles, retiring
president. Williamson then in

Rucks Looks To
Norman (Scooter) Rucks has1
etched a name for himself in the
hall of Carolina's athletic greats,
even before reaching his capital
chanices for track immortality.
While suffering from a pulled
muscle last Saturday, Rucks
sprinted to a newv Southern con
ference 440 yard dash record at
the conference meet held in Chapel
Hill, N. C. His time was 47.4 sec
onds, breaking the tape 15 yards
ahead of his nearest opponent. He
also.- won the 220 yard dash to
keep his record free from defeat
this season in both (lashes.
Definitely considlered as an
Olympic prospect, the Gamecock
Scooter will compete tomorrow in
the Southeastern AAU track meet
in Atlanta.
Comparisons with marks in the
Southeastern conference this sea
son show that Rucks should not
have much difficulty in winning.
