TO MUCH TALK
By Angela Cypher
Too much trivial
Conversation
Spoils the marital
Relation.
All the greatest
Vamps of history
I Specialized
In charm and mystery.
If your wedded
Life is seamy,
Strive to look
Aloof and dreamy.
If you have
A sense of humor
Let it seem
Unfounded rumor.
Solemn men
Would pay good money.
If their wives
Were never funny;
Nervous men
Would be more placid
If their wives
Were never acid;
Stolid men
Might grow ecstatic
If their wives
Were less dramatic.
Silence is
A point to score on,
Too much talk
Betrays the moron.

e "A myth that declares it is honorable,
{ profitable and even advisable to battle for
lc a degree and a living at the same time," di
z_ has, according to Henry Morton Robin
son, a well-known author writing in Col- b?
lege Humor, caused numerous students to sc
j make the traditional gesture and become
j' needless martyrs on this sacrjficial altar.
"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

THE VALUE Ol
As Tojd to the Upper Claasmc
.
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

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

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.

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

Phi Beta Kappa "Key"
Honors S. C Alpha
In the January issue of the Phi Beta
Kappa Key, the South Carolina Alpha
group was given the feature position in
in article describing the activities of the
different chapters. To put it in the words
of the magazine:
"An attractive invitation flom the
Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa in South Carolina
announced the Third Annual Scholarship
Day for December 12. Following
their initiation, members elected on junior
standing were presented before a convocation
in the University chapel. The '
main feature of the program*was the address
by Doctor Josiah Morse, South
Carolina Honorary, Chairman of the Department
of Psychology and Philosophy,
whose subject was "Wisdom, the Guide
of L,ife."

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."

down the court, and scored upon when
Capt. DuPre filtered thru to sink a f 1
pretty angle shot from side court. 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.
