WAR SERVICE BOOKS TO BE DISTRIBUTED University Librarian Appoint ed Representative for South Carolina. The American Library As sociation has between two and three hundred thousand sur plus War Service books to dis tribute among the States, after the needs of the army and navy and the Library War Service continuation work have been met. R. M. Kennedy, librarian of the university, has been ap pointed the representative of the American Library Associa tion for the distribution of the books in South Carolina, and his nomination has been en dorsed by the trustees of the university, who have also vol unteered to give housing room and other facilities for the handling of the volumes from the university as a centre. A first shipment of more than 4,000 books is daily ex pected. This may possibly be the entire quota for the State. Mr. Kennedy is in receipt of more requests for books than he can answer individually. Applications are put on file as they come, and will be given due consideration at the proper time. When the books arrive, they will have to be assorted and shelved, which will necessitate some delay before the alloca tion begins. They are given to the States "with the understanding that they may be used either as a part of a loan or traveling li brary collection, or placed per manently with communities or organizations in accordance with the following suggestions: a. That the War Service as pect of the origin of the books be kept in view in using them, and that special consideration be given to individual and group requests from the ex-ser vice men. b. That books shall be given or lent only to institutions that will circulate them free of charge, and that will make them accessible to the public at reasonably frequent inter valIs." The recipients of loans or donations are expected to meet transportation and other neces sary expenses of shipment. They must also agree to care for the books, make them ac cessible to the public without cost, and take the usual pre cautions to guard against their loss. STUDENTS OBSERVE ARBOR DAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) taking of the barbecue. It also might be noted the skill with which certain professors seat ed themselves at the tables that were served by the young la dies who had classes under them. It is also said that they were well fed by these same young ladies, out of a sense of self-protection. Arbor Day was an undoubt ed success. A large amount of work in beautifying the cam pus was accomplished, several unsightly stumps dug up or blown up, some small trees set to take their places, and the vines on the walls were trimmed and the underbrush and grass were cleaned from the walk surrounding the cam pus. Perhaps some of the ar dor with which the work was accomplished was the result of the savory and odorous breeze that emanated from the bar becue pits over behind Prof. Wauchope's. Owing to a sprinkle of rain that set in about 11 o'clock, the out-of door dinner was removed to the Steward's Hall. However, this did not seem to diminish the ap petites of the workers. The whole occasion was a delight ful one, and one that will be long remembered by those who did the work and those who gold bricked on the side-lines. Much credit is due to the wives of our university professors for starting the idea, and clanging to the idea once that it had been started, and finally in pro viding such a great quantity of of those things that go to nour ish the inner man. The com mittee from the faculty were as follows: Dr. A. C. Moore, Prof. Homes and Marshal Haile, Prof. Davis, Mrs. Ward law, Mrs. Gunter. The general and his aids were: Mr. Guy Gullick, L. C. Johnson, H. Brockington, A. H. Green and J. C. Hooks. And finally we give due credit to Prof. E. Marion Ruck er, who is not inclined to do manual labor, but who is the best man seen on this campus for rounding up the gold bricks and setting them to work. Dr. Currell reported in chapel Tuesday morning that the occasion was a great suc cess and that from now on it will be one of the institutions of the university.
