IMtz, < ,vho t?ok as his subject, "Aviation." < Vfr. Fitz is quite an authority on ieronautics as he is the head of the 1 ocal Curtiss-Wright airport. i Mr. Fitz said that most people think I :>f aviation as a short and easy way to fame and fortune, but he declared that i it was really a great industry and no such get-rich-quick scheme. The aviator should be trained and willing to do hard work. i At first aviation was a glamorous thing. Lindbergh and others became heroes and idols of the people over night. Everyone talked of flying. But the bubble soon burst and the public discovered that aviation is a sound, hard, and established industry. The types of aeroplanes and almost everything about aviation has changed greatly in the last few years and new developments and improvements are being made every day. Mr. .Fitz believes that every person, no matter whether he has the intention of entering aviation as his chosen field or not, should learn to fly. Vocational talks such as the one given by Mr. Fitz are to be given to the freshman class once each week in chapel. Last year the University gained national fame through a similar series of lectures. Professor Robert Sumwalt and Mr. R. G. Bell are in charge of this program. u. b. c. BULL STREET TO HAVE PAVEMENT "You take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves," or words to that effect, seem to be the motto of the University authorities. They are saving the much-needed dollars by conserving paving blocks. When the new Education Building was started, several handball courts which were on the lot had to be destroyed. The cement squares which formed the floor were.hauled down to the block of Bull street between Green and Divine, where they are to be laid to form a sidewalk in front of the infirmary and several of the professors' houses. u. s. c.

Foster, athletic director at the University, Carolina students will be required to use the southern entrance of the field house if they wish to gain admittance to athletic contests held there. The northern enhance will be reserved for silly those who buy tickets at the ticket office. Dr. Foster said that the reason authorities had to take this step was to avoid jams at the ticket office as has been the case heretofore. Students, both men and women, are requested to co-operate with the authorities in this by using the southern entrance. CUBA VISITED BY DR. TABER Dr. Stephen Taber, head of the department of Geology, returned to Columbia January 1, from* Santiago, Cuba. Doctor Taber went to Santiago as consulting geologist for the Cuban Government to test the site of a dam which is to be constructed to supply an aqueduct into the city of Santiago. Leaving Columbia on December 9, Doctor Taber traveled down through Miami, and took the boat from Key West. GAMECOCK STAFF ENJOYS BANQUET The annual banquet of The Gamecock staff was held on Thursday night before the holidays at the Rose-Mary Tea room.

FAMOUS AUTHOR TALKS TO CLASS # (Continued from page one) promising young writer." Mr. Bennett then became editor of a small town paper and ran it in such an original manner that one of his readers told him it was better than a dog show for one never knew what to expect next. In this paper he printed the first threecolor newspaper prints ever published in the United States. As editor he had fought a band of capitalists and as a result he was ousted from his editorship. He then went to Columbus, Ohio, where he wrote and sold his first short story. Next he became a columnist on a newspaper and began writing and rewriting his column four or five times in order to have it in the most perfect English. One of his readers said, "If you watch out you'U write English yet." Writing he considered a side issue, but he was publishing his cartoons in Judge, Punch, and patent medicine circulars. He was once more made editor of his paper, but his health failed and as he said, "I was literally shoved into writing as a career." He took up short story writing and cartooning in earnest. Mary Mapes Dodge, then editor of St. Nicholas accepted one of his stories which he himself had illustrated. He soon became a regular contributor to this periodical. His sister, who was at Radcliffe College, gave him the idea for a story about a young choir boy. This developed into the novel, "Master Skylark," which is one of his most popular novels. He wrote a good part of this book on the backs of his rejection slips just as an ironic whim. He wrote some of it on the back of bills advertising an excursion. He had collected these bills from the lamp posts on which they were hung. Mr. Bennett is now a resident of Charleston. He considers this city to be the city richest in legend in the United States. His next book is nearly completed and will receive an early publication. r TO BE A LAW... fx:::::::::::::.::::::: : !v 5 ' ?f* jjip jljii ::::::::::::::::::::: i !:i iii; lj/ :i wBB&f M TiW jfl H jjiii j niiinr JHKB&EeH , is -D?10 inch?75c ed Lewis) I Fox Trots ..
