DR. REED SMITH DELIVERS PAPER AT CONVENTION VICE-PRESIDENT OF BODY Speaks on "Etomology of Popu lar American Ballad" South Has Many Dr Reed Smith, of the English de partment, represented the University of S. C. at a joint meeting of the Modern Language Association and the American Folklore Society held in Chicago during the Christmas holidays. Dr. Smith was vice-president of the Folklore Society and delivered a paper on "The Etomo logy of the Popular American Ballad". About 500 teachers and writers attended the meeting. Dr. Smith referred to the Sou:h in his paper stating that the richest ballad re coveries in America were made in the Appalachian Mountains of the South. Facts show that of 87 traditional and popular English and Scottish ballads re covered in America 62 were in this re gion. These old baliads were brouglit over by the' earliest settlers and handed down from generation to generation al most solely by retelling, They are in the best and purest state of preservation. The Southern states have taken step, for the preservation and popularizing of these ballads. Books and pamphle:s have been issued by several. West Virginia has pubiished one set by J. H Cox. North Carolina and Virginia are soon to print similar books. Dr. Smith has him self done some of this work having is sued a pampjilet of 125 pages entitled "The Traditional Ballad and its South Carolina Survivals". This came out May 1, 1925 through the ofices of the Exten sion Department. The two most important addresses of the meeting were by W. A. Craigie, Prof. of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University, who spoke on plans for an American Dialect Dictionary and the other by Prof. Percy H Boynton, of the Universi ty of Chicago, who stressed as signi ficant in the coliege world to-day the group of young radicals and independent thinkers among colleges who are ques tioning and challenging many of the ac cepted standards of 'he past in educa tion, philosophy, state craft, and religion. - U.s.c. - NEW SCIENCE SOCIETY STARTED AT CAROLINA Must Be Nominated By Science Professors-Limited to Fifteen Members Another student socie:y has been form ed at theoUniversity.

REED SMILING DITTO THE REGISTRAR Only a mere matter of one week and one day keeps the campus of the Uni 'vers.ty of South Carolina from being the proud boaster of a pair of youngsters beginning life from the scratch. On last Monday night while Professor Daniel A. Reed was making a speech before the Soc'al Workers of the city someone phoned and informed him that he was the father of a daughter fifteen minutes old. Naturaliy the remainder of the meeting suffered from excitement and the professor's smiling face has beamed even more brilliantly on his classes ever since. The little daughter is named after her two grandmothers and she will here after be known as Susanna Catherine Reed. The other member of the youthful duo is the son of Registrar John A. Chase, Jr, John A. Chase 111, and the few days difference in their ages will most probably not mean anything in their young lives. - U.s.c. - Carolina Aces Ready To To Be Dealt "Full House" for "Pot" NEW CAMPUS ORCHESTRA After Two Months' Practice, Is Ready for Debut-Is Six Piece Three guesses to tell what all that music is coming from and who is mak ing it.

On next Wednesday afternoon, Jan uary 20, there will be a meeting in the Woman's Building at five o'clock of -al those who are interested i a Co-ed orchestra. You are urged to come even if you never struck .a tune on any in strument but will be willing to get one and try to learn. There will probably be someone to say something about the different instru' ments and dates for try-outs will be set. A name for the organization will be brought up and a manager and pia nist will be elected at this meeting if ,there is a sufficient number interested. There has long been the? need for such an organization among the Co-eds t no hing has been done about it be cause of the lack of a proper place to meet. It is hoped that the town girls will take especial notice of this and make it a point to attend the meeting and line themselves up with the organi zation because it is thought that some of them have had more opportunities for musical development. A girls' orchestra is needed to be present at the Co-ed athletic contests and boost' up the spirit of hte game as the University band does with the foot hall games. The Co-ed Glee Club would .e a much better production if there was a girls orchestra to do the music for its performances and there are many other occasions at which it would be a pleasure to listen to a girls' orchestra. Regular practices will probably not be s arted untii after exams but everybody is urged to attend the meeting next Wed nesday afternoon to make plans. - U.S.C. - PATE TELLS OF RELICS IN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Debaters Discuss Repeal of South Carolina Luxury Taxes Affirmative Win Out There are several books in the Uni versity library worch hundreds of dollars apiece, so John Pate tells us at the Eu phradian Society at its meeting Tuesday night.
