Dr. Hollis, who spoke on "History )f the University of South Caro lina," is now writing his second volume on the university's history. He told of "tremendous strides -physically, financially and intel lectually-taken by the university inder the present administration." "Most obvious is the improve nent of the physical plant," Dr. Flollis said, "but with higher en .rance requirements and probably 'he best qualified faculty in the distory of the institution is com ing a general rise in academic standards, both on the graduate ind undergraduate levels. "The university has added fac Alty members from such institu lions as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, .hicago and others on that level n the past two years and it is something to be proud of." Dr. Hollis then spoke of the not so-glorious days of reconstruction ind Tillmanism and the dark period around the turn of the !entury. "Carolina was a pioneer in the 'ield of co-education with women students admitted, but not wel !omed, as early as 1895. There were never over 20 women stu lents until after World War I and t was not until 1923-24 when Arade Hampton dormitory was yuilt that women dormitory facil ties," he said.

Richardson, Miller Elected To New Disciplinary Posts Barbara Richardson of Ben nettsville and Don Miller of Co lumbia were elected as voting student representatives to the Disciplinary Committee in Mon day's election. Miss Richardson will serve on the committee when female stu dents are involved and Mr. Miller will serve in cases involving male students. Monday's election was the cul mination of a year-long drive by Student Council to place students on the committee with voting power. Action was first brought by Council before the committee which registered no vote on the issue last year and referred it to the faculty. In April, the faculty voted to allow one female student and one male to serve on the com mittee. Previous to this year, the presi dent of the student body has had the right to sit in on cases being tried, to hear the case and parti cipate in discussion, but not to vote. The Disciplinary Committee handles all cases sent to it by the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women involving infractions of university disciplinary rules. The last time ma.Tor action was taken by the committee was in May when two students were denied the right to live on campus for one semester because of fight ing. No cases have been brought up this semester. The committee functions in the summer as well as in the regular session. Seven faculty members, five men and two women, serve on the committee making a total of eight persons. Prof. Coleman Karesh of the School of Law is chairman. Other male faculty members are Dr. J. W. Bouknight, Prof. F. T. Meeks, Prof. W. D. Nixon, and Dr. M. B. Seigler. Two women are yet to be appointed. Prior to this year, a unanimous vote was necessary before action could be taken. A majority vote of the members present can con vict a student this year. Thomason, Jonesville; assistant flight commanders, David Van Noy, Summerville, and Wesley K. Sanders, Jr., Free Port, N. Y.
