Twenty-three students, Dr. and Mrs. Yaghjian, and Mrs. Augusta Wittkowsky had their work in the auction. The overall sum that was returned to the student painters for the cost of their picture equip ment was $475, which will be used to buy paints, canvasses, brushes, and other art equipment. The cost of the pictures aver aged about $9.00 a piece. Frank Hart, winner of the art painting award, was the artist of the high est selling picture which brought $68. The art auction was termed such a success that it was re quested that a smaller auction be held before Christmas Holidays in order that they might be used as Christmas gifts. The watercolors were very popular and also the paintings of the low country. Each year the auction is held to offer funds for an art scholar ship which is given to a high school senior who shows interest in the field of art and who plans to attend the University. Last year's recipient was Ann Martin from Greenville, South Carolina. Part of the money taken in is used for art equipment which is given to some deserving art stu dent of the University. Alumni Plan Convention In New York Carolina alumni in the New York City area, numbering ap proximately 700, will have their annual convention May 18, at the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York City, reports Bill Bowen, Direc tor of the USC Alumni Associa tion.

Sumwalt and Football Coach Warren Giese. President Sumwalt will speak to the convention about the Univer sity in general, and Coach Giese will cover the outlook on athletics at present and in the future. The newly organized Carolina Founda tion and the work of the Alumni Association will be discussed by Bowen, and the Gamecock Club will be stressed by Roger White, executive secretary of that organ isation. White and Bowen will make the trip May 16, to coordinate plans for an alumni rally prior to the Army game at West Point next fall. Among those invited to the meeting are USC Alumni, from New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, M ar yla n d, and Washington, D. C. Senator Olin D.
