Euphradian Talks On Athletic Setup "Be it resolved: That the athletic setup at the University of South Carolina be given a thorough shakeup." This was the contro versy debated upon by the Euphra dian Society at their weekly meet ing Tuesday night. The Liberal party pointed out the fact that in the last 12 years the football team in particular has had a losing record. On the other band it was pointed out that Caro lina is a poor school and is not able to command the sums of money necessary for meeting a big time football schedule. The Conservatives said that Athletic Director Rex Enright has brought the school into the lime light of the Southern Conference. They said that he almost receved the commissionership of the Con fernnee. * After an hour's debate the issue was decided 9 to 8 in favor of the question.

President Si WhichCond By LEO MacCOURTNEY At a meeting held at Chapel 11i11 for the porpose of determining the feelings of the various Institution heads regarding out - of - season games and practice sessions, the presidents of the 17 colleges and universities which are members of the Southern Conference came out strongly in favor of prohibiting out-of-season competition (bowl games) and limiting, if not elimi nating, spring football practice. For the last six or seven years, according to Admiral Norman M. Smith, president of the university, the members of the Southern Con. ference have been questioning the feasibility of out-of-season games and practice sessions. The Chapel Hill session marked the first time that any definite action had been taken on the Issue. Although the meeting held last week was attended by the presi dents of every college and univer sity which Is a member of the Southern Conference, it was not a meeting of the Southern Confer ence. It was a meeting of the presi dents called by President Gordon Gray of North Carolina for the express purpose of obtaining the .gDa Pep ClubRalI Starts Weeke Game Festi Homecoming week end w: begin tonight at 6:30 with a peg rally, under the supervision of 4e Pep Club.

"Alumni from places as distant as New York will return to the Carolina campus for homecoming festivities this week end," Ralph Lewis, alumni secretary, said. "Carolina graduates from over the state and the South will be present to make this one of the best at tended homecoming affairs ever," he continued. The returning alumni will. reg ister in the Alumni Association of fice in Leiber college Saturday morning. Highlighting the week end will be the Furman-Carolina football game Saturday afternoon at the Carolina stadium, at which the Homecoming queen will be crowned Students, in an election yester day, selected a queen from the more than 80 nominees.

Babcock Renamed On Southern Board Havilah Babcock, head of the English department, has been re appointed by Governor James F. Byrnes as a trustee of the South er% Regional Education Board. Mr. Babcock's present appoint ment is for a term of five years. rnith Attend6 emnsFootbal opinions of the institution heads on out-of-season competition and prac tice sessions and drawing up reso lutions based on these opinions to be presented at the regular South ern Conference meeting to be held sometime in December. Another significant difference between the group which met at Chapel Hill and that which will convene when the Southern Con ference representatives meet is that coaches of the participating institutions did not attend. They do attend regular Southern Confer ence meetings along with the faculty chairman and the president of the institution. Thirteen college or university presidents voted in fkvor of abandoning post-season competi tion. The elimination of post-seasori competition, the representative. agreed, will give the athlete the opportunity to devote more time to his studies. Hence, it would be ol benefit both to him an)d to the Institution which he attends, the scholastic standing of which might be appreciably lielghtened. Three of the Southern Conference presi dents did not attend the meeting and their representatives abstained from commitment. Only one of the presidents voted In favwr of con tinuing bowl competition. t1 Set Solicitors Me Bloodworth E Professor Suner To Study At Yale Professor James D. Sumner of the Law School faculty has been named the beipient'af a Stealing Fellowship to Yale UJniversity, ac cording to Professor Samuel Prince, dean of the law school. Professor Sumner has been granted a year's leave of absence from Carolina, and while at Yale he will work toward his Master's Degree. Another member of the faculty of the School of Law, Professor David H. Means, has returned to the university after a year of post graduate work in law at Harvard. I The board represents a pooling of financial and educational resources I on the part of fourteen states to e advance Southern graduate and l professional education. Conference: BowiGames , The entire group voted in favor 4 of eliminating spring football prae tice wherever possible and when 1 it is not, to limit it to two or three a weeks. The reasoning behind this I resolution is basically the same as c that behind the bowl abandonment j one. r At the closing of the Chapel Hill c session, the presidents all agreed to attend the December meeting of I the Southern Conference and tot bring up the Chapel Hill resolutions for official conference action. They 1 also agreed that if it were impos- I sible for the Presidents to attend I the conference meeting, their representatives would be thorough- ] ly instructed as to what voting pro-1 cedure to follow for each of the resolutions. ] When asked whether or not the presence of the coaches at the con- I ference meeting will make any dif- a ference in the unanimity with r which the resolutions will appar ently be passed, Admiral Smith said .that he thought not. Thei coaches are, after all, employees of the institution, he Intimated, and i in some cases hold responsible a faculty positions other than that I of coach. They therefore will also a react in the best interests of the I student body and institution for which they ar, employed. tarts et Monday I md Creel Or O .
