DR. BRADLEY CHAPEL SPEAKER SUNDAY NIGHT "Y" MEET Prominent German Professor Talks On "What Carolina Needs Most" Last Sunday night Dr. Bradley spoke to a large assembly of Carolina students in the chapel on the subject, "What. Carolina Needs Most." The meeting was sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. "In the middle ages," Dr. Bradley said, "the mass of the people thought that the church could solve all problems, whether relating to individuals or to society as a whole. At the present time, however, the viewpoint of the world is that education is the solution for all problems. Over half of the money given to society by rich men is given for the purpose of education. The eyes of the world arc upon the colleges today and are judging critically the efficiency of their products. The future efficiency of the student depends upon the preparation he gets while iij college. "Today the world is in a period of transition between two attitudes and evaluations of education. Some regard education as the key to culture and some think its main purpose should be to train the student for a vocation. The colleges are laying emphasis upon both of these phases. Still there seenis to be a deal of uncertainty among students I themselves as to what their purpose is in attending college. "The things that Carolina students need most are: (1) A clear perception of their objectives; (2) pertinacity in following out their choice of courses; (3) a sense of obligation to prepare for service to humanity in whatever field they might enter; and (4) sense of eternal and religious values." Lawson Scott presided over the meeting. / On next Sunday night Professor Kilpatrick will speak in the chapel on the subject, "Soviet Russia." u. s. c. SIGMA CHI ELECTS Sigma Chi at the University of South Carolina last week elected the following officers for the coming year: Herbert Stokes of Walterboro, president; Carlisle Neely, vice-president; James Hicks, secretary, and Eldridge Baskin, treasurer.

A: in previous cases, appreciation classc will make a study of the program ii order to have a historical setting. This concert is more ambitious thai any before. Richard Wagner's "Tann liauser" is to be the chicf compositioi of the evening. For this number severa additions have been made. P. G. Shere: will take a prominent part with tin trumpet, Carl Weideman and Bet Gardner take the difficult clarinet sole parts, while Asher Brown will supply the necessary French horn parts. Mrs Christine Bowen will play the flute Tschaikowsky's "Marche Slav" is an other number that will probably crcat< much interest among the patrons Kevin's "A Day in Venice," a lightei number, will complete the principal nutiv bers of the program. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Rober Lafaye will sing a group of duets witl orchestra accompaniment. Miss Lucill; Mikcll, noted violinist of the de Horvatl studio, will also render several selec tions.

I Who's WhT BLAND HAMMOND The climax of an unusually successfi college carreer was probably reache last week by Bland Hammond of Colun bia, when he was unanimously electe to the presidency of the Euphradia Literary Society, the last senior of tli present session to hold that office. Bland has not confined his activities t the literary field, as lie wilt be remen bercd for being manager of the 19.1 Gamecock gridiron machine. Membership in the German Clul Omicron Delta Kappa leadership fr; ternity, and Sigma Nu, are among tli many other honors Bland has. He ha represented the latter fraternity on tli Pan-Hellenic council.

Phone 6607 That Satisfy" " i" 'i' OPPORTUNITIES r f * Extracts from a Talk of Dr. W. A There is perhaps no subject that touches life and industry at more points than does chemistry. To give you some idea of the vocational opportunities it offers it is necessary to present somei, thing of the extent and diversity of the e subject. This can be done most briefly t and completely by enumerating the di? ;, visions of the American Chemical Sos ciety, with a short comment on cach. s This society is one of the largest i scientific organizations in the world, enrolling over 18,000 members. This num1 her by no means includes all of the per sons who would be classed as chemists, i or who are engaged in chemical work. 1 At each biennial meeting about 1,500 r members attend to present and hear c papers on research in progress and rel cent developments in the various fields > of the subject. There are 19 divisions of i the main organization, which may be . meeting simultaneously alone or in com. binations with each other. These divi sions represent the principal fields of aci tivity and interest in chemistry, but they . arc by no means mutually exclusive. The Chemistry Courses It is generally recognized that certain elementary courses are necessary for one who wishes to major in chemistry, no 1 matter what branch of chemistry he may * subsequently follow. Most of these arc 1 also fundamental and essential courses for one who expects to major in medicine, pharmacy, geology, biology, engineering or physics. Even the modern lawyer, jurist or public official would be in a much better position to make intelligent use of the scientific testimony, advice or data that is involved in nearly every legal and civil transaction, if lie had this training in chemistry. Certainly no one can claim to be cultured in the J broadest sense of the term if he does not have a fair understanding and appreciation of the civilization in which lie lives, no matter how much he may know of the classics in art, literature and music, which have been written in the past. The it classics of the present arc being written C1 in science. (1 All students in chemistry must begin 1 with a course in general chemistry, which it is, as the title implies, an introduction to (1 the entire subject. This can well be acg companied by a course or courses in g physics, biology, geology, pharmacy (j mathematics or engineering, by the student who expects to major in chemistry d or any of the other subjects. Next comes a course or courses ii analytical chemistry, in which the student learns the technical and theoretical side; i of making qualitative and quantitativf analysis of chemical substances. Analysi: of raw materials and finished product: J is necessary in practically every moderi industry and the average college gradu ii ate, who has majored in chemistry aw d goes into industrial work, will probablj i- begin in a routine chemical laboratory d These courses arc required for student: n majoring in medicine, pharmacy, engi 1C neering and geology. 'flic next course is elementary orgatii< o chemistry, which is required for pre i- medical and pharmacy students. As tin 10 title suggests, this course has to do witl sulwtances that are used or produced ii I), living or organic processes. It is well foi i- a student majoring in this field to ac ? MORSE ADJOURNS c CLASS ON ACCOUNT OF SIGNA SERENE C, u Dr. Morse was proving to his clas; y that be was a poet as well as philoso j_ pher. He was describing the beauties ol the philosopher's work. Vivid imagery and considerable feeling marked his dis course. The class sat motionless, spell d bound. ., All but one. Down at the second tabh i, Troy Stokes seemed a bit distracted. Hi: p mind was obviously not following tin glowing picture painted by the professor g He twitched restlessly in the chair. A a, last, after several false starts, hi: n chance came. The professor droppet a. nionentarily for breath. t "Pardon the diversion, professor, bu I've been worrying about this all week What do you think about Sign; Serene?" "Clott in Ilimmcl! Land of the living,' exclaimed the startled doctor. "You come from the sublime to tin ridiculous, from Tiffany to the ten-cent How can you mention them in the sativ breath ?" Stirred and storming, the professoi paced the floor to the chuckles am guffaws of the class. "The meeting is adjourned," declarec Dr. Morse, and rushed from the room ' The laughter of the class subsided but broad grins remained the order o the day. Signa Serene was the star o the moment, her ability was not ques tioncd. The mere mention of her nam* i had worked the magic of class dis ( missal ten minutes before the hour. lay)1 i i.f i 1' " ?r?Ti i 1 1 > IN CHEMISTRY if. .. . - i , ' . u Whitesell to the Upper Classmen ; company this course with courses in b ology, geology or pharmacy, as he wi then havp an easier entrance into tl fields of biological chemistry, food cher istry, pharmaceutical chemistry, phys ological chemistry, chemistry of med cinal products, etc. The next course is elementary phys cal chemistry. This is a newer subje than the others mentioned and deals wit the laws underlying physical and chem cal phenomena. It should be preceded x accompanied by courses in physics an mathematics, especially the calculus. 11 methods of physical chemistry arc beir applied in all the fields of chemistry J well as in many fields of medicin pharmacy, geology and biology. There is given at the University course in industrial chemistry, whic may be taken in the junior or seni( year. It gives the student a brief intr< duction to many of the leading industri chemical processes for making both o ganic and. inorganic products such ; pure water, acids, alkalis, fertilizers, ga oils, rayon, paper, glass, cement, lim soap, dyes, explosives, sugar, rubber, an many others. In addition to these elementary cours< there are offered advanced courses i the same subjects for students majoriti in chemistry. No attempt is made at tl University to give special training in an particular process as this can be a< quired rapidly and easily by the studei who is properly grounded in the fund; mentals. Vocational Opportunities A student who has successfully con pletcd the elementary courses is equi] ped: 1. To take advanced work leading I a higher degree either here or at son other university. 2. To hold a scholarship, fellowship < teaching assistantship while doing a< vanced work in a university where the may be offered. These helps pay fro $200 to $1,200 depending on the instit tion in which they are offered and tl work required. In recent chemic journal there are listed 100 institutioi i offering a total of over 1,000 fellowshi 1 and assistantships for graduate studem 3. To teach in a high school. 1 4.

Here are the happenings in detail.^ Two University students called at the home of a young co-ed the first part of the week. When they left, they borrowed a new deck of bridge cards. The next night they returned to the same house to pay another visit. This time they borrowed a flower pot from the front porch. The following night another University student had a date at the same house. During the course of the evening, I the lady of the house happened to remarkfethat someone had stolen a deck of cards and a flower pot from her. She $ also declared that she was going to ask Madame Serene if she could tell where . the articles could be found. Upon hearing the last remark, thitff 1 student decided that it would be a good trick if he could make the two miscreants believe that the lady at the Imperial had given them away. So he, i hastened back to the campus and broke the glad tidings to one of the boys, saying that Serene had minutely described who bad taken the cards and pot and 1 where the goods could be found. When he heard it, he exclaimed, " That blankety-blank 'Subnierine,' has sure got us in a mess." Then rushing to his partner in crime, who was already in bed sleeping, he explained the details', < . to him. Leaping out of bed, the latter decided that the goods must be returned before morning. Speedily putting on disguises r and gathering the stolen articles, two very scared boys slipped out of the tenement and down to the house where the goods belonged, and stealthily replaced them on the front porch, with the folt lowing note in the pot, "With compli- . mcnts of Signa Serene." , ~ ?? ^PAIRING ents Only 20% OFF WITH EVERY JOB . ? 1405 Assembly l & EPTING || 'I"!"!* 4* *!**{**!* < (TISE in || tfECOCK | dation: * . * 1,650 ?! 350 bailing List . 150 \ ?|| ition . 2,150 ' ;|| reader is a prospective customer. ? ? . ?n appeal to business men in a new way. * * v . best collegiate advertising medium in the stale. * ie?
