A survey of the earnings of more
than 1,400 professional and business
women, which was made by the University
of Wisconsin in co-opcratior
with the National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs
has revealed that a college educatior
is worth a considerable monetary valut
to women who intend to engage iti
careers. College graduates were foun<l
to earn an average of $346 more a yeai
than their less educated sisters.

FITZ TALKS ON I1
AVIATORS WORK
FIRST VOCATION SERIES
Ml Color Taken Out of This 1
Romantic Profession by Head
of Local Airport <
i
The first of the series of vocational <
alks for freshmen was presented in i
:hapel Wednesday by Curtis W. 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.

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.

Evidently tiring of such regular defeats,
the Birds snapped out of it Wednesday
night in Atlanta and captured
their first conference game from Georgia
Tech. The score was 30 to 25.
Captain DuPre led the Gamecocks
with 16 points and he was followed by
Green, regular reserve center, who played
a forward and sank 6 points.
At the end of the first half, Tech was
out in front by 16 to 10, bur DuPre and

STUDENTS ENTER
BY SOUTH DOOR
Purpose to Prevent Jams At
North Entrance of Field
House
According to an announcement by Dr.
Ralph K. 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

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.

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.
