ROTC Increases
Unit Enrollment
By 60 Next Fall
Col. E. C. Ferguson, command
ing officer of the N.R.O.T.C. unit
said last week that the number of
naval students would be increased
by one-third at the university in
the fall semester.
Of the 121 students now in train
ing here, only one will be grad
uated and sixty new students will
be added to the unit in September.
Colonel Ferguson said that of
the 36,000 applicants throughout
the nation who took the N.R.O.T.C.
tests, only 2,000 were accepted.
This is only one for every 18 that
filed application and went before
the- testing boards.
This progran. will turn out more
naval officers than the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Grading of
students will be based upon the
same system used at the academy
and there will be no differentiation
between men attending the state
universities and the Annapolis
men when they join the fleet. An
"A" grade at this institution would
be just as high as one made at the
Academy.
"The method of testing of appli
cants and the requirements of the
students during their training
period enable the Navy to pick the
best officer material from the na
tion's youth," Colonel Ferguson
said.
He added that it is merely a pro
cess of weeding out the boys from
the men. but even under the pres
ent program it will be at least ten
y-1r- boforv ths? rs?A! quality ef!
these men will be known.
Colonel Ferguson said that the
only obligation of "contract" stu
dents upon graduation is to serve
two years active duty, if at the
time of their graduation they are
thought to be needed by the Secre
tary of the Navy.
"Regular" students must have
previous military service before
they will be accepted in the pro
gram.

LeConte Colleg
Many Remode
Its Four - Deca
By JAN
Featur
LeConte College, science lb
room building of progress, f
tracted from, and remodeled
than four decades.
The building was named i
ers - Joseph and John -
professors at the university fron
1856 until 1865. They were force.
ful personalities best known for
their book "Ware Sherman."
In 1909, the state legislature ap
propriated $20,000 for a building
to house the biology, geology, and
chemistry departments, and the
next year they appropriated a like
sum. Work was begun that year,
and the finished project appeared
in 1911. It faced Davis College
as the only other building on Gib
bes Green.
Classes were first held in the
massive three-story building in the
fa!! of 1!1. Psychology and ej-n
gineering classes were soon moved
to LeConte. Rooms on the ground
floor were given to the State Board
of Health for special use.
LeConte soon became popular ,s
the building of odors, and scents
from afternoon labs drifted dowr
to surrounding territory. The uni
versity's valuable rock and min
cral collections were kept there.
In 1929, when LeConte housed
all science courses, a fourth floor
was added, and, when more roon
was needed in 1940, the basement
was renovated. Last fall the nar
row, Wooden stairway, which the
fire department had condemned,
was replaced by a modern stone
one, and the building wvas modern
ized and painted. But, as in 1911,
LeConte is still the home of chem
istry, b)iology, and geology.
Whether or not South Carolina
should have a divorceJ law was ar
guedi on the University campus in)
N'ovember, 193'4.
