"Scholastic hitch-hikers" working their ci [y way or their professor, arc, says Mr. jn j_ Rqbinson, "represented by more than two V( r_ million of the nearly five million persons in the United States attending cduca- y{ tional institutions." rc "They drive cabs and wait on table; |>c they clerk, tutor and jerk sodas; they m peddle spark plugs, scented soaps and fa subscriptions to magazines; they beg, fc they borrow, and a few of them incvita- is bly steal. # n, "Two-thirds of their waking hours arc spent in feeding and housing their bodies; so with what is left of their time and en- m crgy they go through the motions of ai studying for a degree." us "To be sure, only a small percentage of al them ever get the degree because the a mortality among academic parasites is fearlessly high. sc "A few of the stubborn die-hards play co the exhausting game to the last whistle, tc but they are so burned out by the effort ai1 that they rarely amount to anything in later life. "A high class of scholarship or intelli- l? gent interest is not to be expected from a student who comes to class dulled and ki sodden with fatigue. i? *When a chap drives a taxi cab all us night, he is not likely to bring a shiny -c new edge of originality or interest to the ?* discussion of Swinburne's poetic dramas. yc And when he totes mail sacks for eight I hours every day, he is scarcely in prime II shape for the rigors of a math exam. i "Everything would be all right if the jj student were willing to take the academic consequences. But he isn't. He expects \ favors, leniencies, extensions?or else he falls hopelessly behind. "Every collcge teacher with a cor- cc pusclc of humanity in his blood stream has 'passed' hundreds of fellows who de- p served, on the basis of scholastic accom- j)( plishnient, to be flunked outright." m u. s. c. hi | Whx/s y Wilson O.

Sociology is the science of humdn < oup behavior, just as psychology is the \ ience of individual behavior. It is very t )ung compared with the anci*nt t :ienccs of philosophy and history; it is i ren in childhood beside such recent J iences as physics and chemistry. How- s 'er, the rapid growth and concentration t t our population, driving people by hun- i cds of thousands to live side by side I id even foot to head in crowded streets, ive forced us to study one another in a < rious way. ' A question that challenges you is: /"hat can sociology do for me? I am targed to answer this question for you i ten minutes, so gird up the loins of | )ur mind for a mental sprint. First, and best, sociology can teach ^ )U to understand the world of human Nations in which you live. I say "best," :cause any subject that can give us an ldcrstanding of f this strange, whirling, scinating earth, where we are to abide >r a little while, is our benefactor. This ' what education is trying to do for us? akc us understand. c You are going out into a world re unding with questions. A huge question j ark hangs now over so rtiany religious ^ id economic and political fields that we j ;cd to feel were comfortably settled tor j 1 time. Are you going out hence to be t fumbler in the face of this, or are you c >ing out bravely and steadily holding ^ me safe clues in your hands? The j urscs you are pursuing hefe are in- j nded to give you some of these clues, id I do not hesitate to tell you that one g the best keys to the undertaking of j c world today, the one in which you arc r spend your time, is sociology. But further than this, you wish to s low what vocational values there are n sociology. First, there is its indirect a ,e in whatever trade or profession that f >u enter. If you intend to be in the ranks t labor or politics or law or teaching f hi will need to know some solutions of 1 e problems that sociology deals with, i 1 looking over this disturbed state of s ^ormer Columl Authoi One of the recent best sellers of the 1 luntry is by a Southern writer, Mrs. 1 atherine Bellamann, a former South arolinian. "My Husband's Friends" has t en attracting a lot of fayoratye com- < ent throughout the literary world and < is brought this new writer into the eye ' the literary world. The authoress is s ic wife of Henry Bellamann, literary t litor of the Columbia State. Kathcrinc Bellamann, like the heroine , I her newly published novel, "My Hus- I ind's Friends" is a "naturally silent I oman." But there the similarity be- t /een Mrs. Bellamann and Nina Perry- > ?nd ends. She laughed loudly when ? ked if the novel is in any degree auto- 1 ographical. ' "If it were it would not have been rittcn," she said. "A great deal of Nina r crryfond's thoughts and ideas arc nec- 1 sarily my own, but not all of them, i lie characters are fictitious. They and s e events are made up just as any nov- 1 ist makes a book?out of experience c itli life and imagination of sundry a ents." i She was born on a remote plantation South Mississippi and spent her girl- t wha you i I 7 regardless of what il in The Garnet patronize 4 F SOCIOLOGY - > ' n by Dr. Q. Croft William* >urs, one cannot but wish that many of these who aspire to help their fellow men o a better corporate life would spend nore time in pondering how chinged hunan relations demand new methods and some straight thinking in new terms, instead of beating the same old tunes on he torn toms and urging men to adopt measures that have shown themselves to )e utterly futile. Besides this value of sociology to gen:ral culture and to the trades and professions it is a prerequisite to the social worker and the social engineer. These Jew professions have so recently arisen hat many people know nothing definite ibout them. There seems to be a widespread impression that a' social worker s one who applies a fad and gets paid 'or it. Yet every day the public is calling for more trained workers and thinkers to aid in the curbing of preventable mis:ry and want. I said that we have the profession of .ocial worker. Jt has many different fields >ut perhaps the best known one is that )f family case work. A case worker enleavors to help a family get well socially, ust as a doctor aids it toward physical icalth. Often the family case worker ails, but so does the doctor. However, t is an immensely interesting work and s paying better salaries each year. The lepartmcnt of sociology at the University >f South Carolina prepares students for he profession of family case work. We lave excellent courses conducted by Miss fohnson that are set up to meet the spc:ial wants and conditions of this state, ind the social agencies and institutions 11 Columbia give unstinting help in furlishing opportunities for field work. Then there is the social engineer? uch positions as secretary of the comnullity chest, secretary of public welfare, [gents of such movements as child welare, mental hygiene, and held workers, o promote better race relations. These >ositions demand a high order of inteligence and an adequate sociological trainng, but they pay living salaries and are ibsorbingly interesting. ria Woman " of Best Seller iood there.

Although her later education was obained in London, Paris, and New York [she has been for some years a resident )f New York City) she is wholly of the 'deep South" in breeding, tradition, and sentiment. Foreign residence and wide ravel have not placed a cosmopolitan stamp on this quiet, leisurely, soft-spoken voman.

"He was my best teacher," she says. "I owe my professional career as a musician to him; and what I know about writing he taught me." Even in the rush of modern New York, Mrs. Bellamann has managed to Keep something of the comfortable tempo of the South. She is an indefatigable concert and playgoer and rarely misses an art exhibit. She once took some prizes for landscape painting. But she never seems to hurry. Her speech is Southern in quality but not in pronunciation. Asked if she would be likely to write about the Negroes, her reply was an emphatic negative. "I don't know anything about them. That is a special field." "But you will go on writing?" "Certainly. I am writing now, but it is about the people and the life I know best." SHOE REI 20% OFF To Studei Phone Us 6708 GUARANTEE WI SANDIIJER "WE HAIL THEB S. B.

With the score knotted at 14 all the Georgia 1 team unleashed a sudden burst of speed and Reeder and Sanford dropped 1 baskets to put the Bulldogs four points, m the lead, the first time in the game that more than a one-basket advantage had been held and an edge which they held until the final whistle. Young was fouled in a rush for the basket and given a free shot, the goat also being allowed. He sank the free throw and on the next play Watson scored for Carolina on a one-hand recovery off the rim. Woodruff was sub- / stituted for Watson shortly afterwards but injured a finger and was forced from the game after only a few plays. ' Hughey and DeVaughn sank baskets in the closing minutes and it seemed for the moment as though a last minute ? rally might knot the score but Georgia reverted to the delayed offense that they had been using throughout the last half and maintained their lead until the game ended. Bru Boineau was seen in action for M the first time this season in the last period of the game. Young, brilliant Georgia guard,, captured high point honors for the evening, sinking five field goals and a free throw for a total of 11 points. Capt. DuPre of the Gamecocks was runner-up j with three field goals, being good for six points.
