FRESHM AN GROUP HEARS15RADSHAW Dean of Students Tells Friend ship , Council How It Can Aid University Club in Drive for New Students. Dean F. F. Bradshaw ad dressed the Freshman Friend ship council last night in - Ger- rard hall on the ways in which the council, which is co-operat ing with the University club' in its drive1 to interest prospective students in the University, can, individually, act as missionaries for the Carolina spirit. "There are two ways, Dean Bradshaw said, "by which each student can see that the proper preparatory school graduates are brought to the University. In addition to keeping in touch with the alumni office and furn ishing it with the names and necessary information about the nigh school seniors oi his ac quaintance, each student can see that he himself . is a good ex ample of a Carolina product when he is at home during, the holidays." To illustrate the arguments which should be advanced in an attempt to interest a prospective student, Dean Bradshaw gave his own experience, saying that it was the University's size, representative student body, va riety of activities, and lack of restraint which persuaded him to enter. "The alumnus, also is good salestalk. for the University, for he is known to be an easy man to get along with; sociable, and interested in his community," the speaker said. However, the University is not to engage in a mad scramble for students, nor is it to be ad vised for the high school gradu ate who has not yet reached the stage of maturity when he has his own moral and religious convictions.
