Women Students Offered Oxford Scholarships The Committee on Selections for Oxford, set up some years ago by the American Association of Uni versity Women at the request of the Principals of the Oxford wom en's colleges to serve as an offi cial connection between them and American women seeking to study at those colleges, is seeking to bring the opportunity of study at Oxford to the attention of seniors and graduate students of appropri ate ability and character. They are in search of a more representative selection of American students. The committee is in a position to offer certain facilities to stu dents applying from this country, and would like to make that fact known to Carolina students. These facilities include the providing of forms for applications, of advice and information on problems and requirements, and the forwarding of student papers. Candidates should write immedi ately if they wish to apply for ad mission in 1952, so that their com pleted papers can be filed here be fore October 15. The committee will then consider them at its No vember meeting. The extreme shortness of the time interval is regreted but must fit to the Oxford schedule, which was recently changed. The committee is particularly anxious to encourage students of intellectual distinction and serious purpose, well prepared by training and character to take full advan tage of what Oxford has to offer. The places available to American women students are not numerous (about one each year to each of the five women's colleges), and the committee feels as you will your self, that those who fill these places should qualify as intelligent and friendly foreign visitors and as excellent representatives of Amer-! ican higher education. Tabulate Number Women Students The latest count in the registra tion of women students is as fol iows: there are 153 new Fresh men, as opposed to last fall's 169. New transfer students number 101, as compared with last fall's 71. This makes a total of 254 new women students, while last year there were but 240. The Junior and Senior classes' are relatively small. This is the effect of the change in 1948 to the twelfth grade system, result ing in three transition years of -small high-school graduation. Radio Ca roli Full Time 8r4 By GENARO HUERTA Chief Announcer, WUSC Fifty-three hours. Long time, isn't it? Well, that's how long WUSC is prepared to serve the Carolina campus each week. Radio Carolina commenced its full-time broadcasting Monday after regis tration. Lack of experienced per sonnel has forced the station to cut down its broadcasting time from 63 to 53 hours of broadcasting time each week. However, in the near future the staff plans to revert to the old, longer schedule. There are many new faces and many new voices to be seen and heard in the "Goofus" building. Freshmen and transfer students are showing a keen interest in the intricacies of radio and are fast acquiring the knack for answering phones, throwing switches and making with the gab. It won't be long before they overthrow the present government and take over the operation of the 640 spot on your radio dial. If you ,hear an unfamiliar hum In the background when an an nouncer is talking, your radio isn't shot, and neither Is the transmitter. It's just the new air conditioning system which consists solely of one fan mounted in the window of the control room. The fan does its job well--too well, in fact. It has a habit of rattling when it gets to a certain speed. This speed is in evitably attained when the an nouncer begins his ad libbing. This is frustrating to say the least, but the announcers have chosen to ignore the noise as long as the fan continues to keep the place cool and clear of cigarette smoke.

Dr. Paul Wheeler, pastor of Park Street Baptist Church, will be the speaker for Tuesday, October 2. A series of programs on the topic of prayer are now being presented at vespers each Thursday night at 7:15. The speaker for next week is Cecil Sanders, a student, who will speak on the topic of "Prayer With Thanksgiving." Tomorrow night after the foot ball game a drop-in will be held with the Citadel B.S.U.ers as guests. Thereafter regular secials will be held at 7:30 on Saturday nights. Four-thirty Sunday afternoons is theC time for the Bible iusonUU~ group. Hebrews 4, 5 and 6 are the chapters for discussion this Sun day. Noon-day prayer meetings are held on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 1:30 in Maxcy 105. ia Begins >a dcasting ing the summer is a beep, or exactly--a "boop." This is a time signal that "boops" every hour on the hour and scares the announcers half out of their wvits. A time signal helps production, but it has a nasty habit of "booping'' in the middle of a wordl. For' instance: At the one,thetime will be ..." "Boooooop!"The general opinion among the announcers is that only a person half-way human could do such a misdeed to his friends. For the convenience of the students who like music and have favorites which they like to hear now and again, WUSC schedules four hours of re quest shows each day, Monday through Friday. "Campus Capers" is the longest of three request pro grams, running the entire after noon from 2 P. M. until 5 P. M. The other request shows appear at 9 P. M. and last until 10 P. M., Monday through Friday, under the name of "Request Rendezvous." ''Request Rendezvous" and "Campus Capers" feature daily such favorites as "Blueberry Hill," "Too Young," "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue," and "September Song." However, there are a lot of new tunes which are appearing on these shows, the most frequent being the ever popular Ralph Flannagan's "Blues from An American in Paris," and "Castle Rock" by the Fontaine Sisters. These programs are for the masses, by the masses, and the students of Carolina dlecide which records appear on these prn grams. The regular WUSC staff meeting is held at 5 P.

Town Theatre S esn Tiets Go On Sale Professor C. F. Mercer, Sloan 101, has statedl that each student who sells ten or more tickets for the Town Theater will be given one season ticket. The tickets cost six dollars for each season and three dollars and fifty cents for each utudent season ticket. Anyone can become a patron by making a contribution oif twenty five dollars. To each of these the Towvn Theater presents two compli mentary season tickets. Field Secretary Addresses Coed Association Miss Frances Cardwell, who re ceived her AB and MA at the Uni versity of South Carolina and has been working towards her PhD at the University of North Carolina, is now located in Dean Childs' of fice. She has taken the p)osition as field secretary. It is the first time that Carolina has had 'a full-time field secretary. Miss Cardwvell spoke to the Coed Association Wednesday afternoon concerning her wvork. She said that she was a paid representative of Carolina, but that it is actually the students who are the representa tives. The reputation they build up (or down) when they go home, has much to do in forming prospective students' opinions of Carolina. Carolinians should continue to spread their dlistinction of being friendly. In order to make the Uni versity respected by future schol ars, students should not propagate such products of the scheming mind that the food is not good, or that a certain professor is an idiot. On the other hand, Miss Cardwell warns against the bad psychology of urging people to attend. That is a personal dlecision which only they themselves can make. Miss Card well entertains a hope that there will be high-school week-ends in the plural throughout the year for :n's View Exhibit er story left to right, Buddy Derrick, ht, Tom Coleman, Bob Jernigan, Ed Bobby Broadwell, Charley Clink Sigma Chi's Throw Party Dick Polen, president of Sigma Chi, has registered a party for Sep tember 28th at the "Y" Camp.
