BRADLEY TELLS OF ARMY WORK SECRET UNIT EXPLAINED ! All Who Expect to Find Exciting Nick Carter AdveYitures Discouraged by Dr. Bradley Professor Francis W. Bradley of the Language Department, spoke to the Romance Language Department, spoke to the freshman class Wednesday on > the subject of the United States Intelligence Bureau. Dr. Bradley saw service with this unit during the World War. "The General Staff of the Army was organized during the war. It is divided into three sections, G-l, G*-2, and G-3. G-l controls the supplies and G-3 has to do with the execution of orders. G-2 is the intelligence department and is meant to discover the intentions and disposition of the enemy. "G-2 is separated into four divisions. i One is for the reading of soldiers letters. Often soldiers let slip important and damaging facts in their correspondence and it is the duty of this division to censor the letters. The second division has as its duty to discover military intelligence by direct contact with the enemy. The third controls the espionage and counter espionage systems. This means spying and the prevention of being spied upon. The fourth division deals g^Njfckwith topography or the position of the ^^^Henemy." I : " I Dr. Bradley discouraged all those who Hdanned to take up secret service work ! H)ecause thoy thought it resembled the . ..Hdoings of Nick Carter or some other J Hhero of the penny dreadfuls. Secret servHicc work does not require the hiding in closets or donning dark glasses and false -- whiskers. Dr. Bradley had to read and study r blood-stained photographs, maps and let; ' Bters. He had to learn wireless and the - detection of battery implacements by rJ sound. He had to learn to locate aeroI planes and discover their purposes. ; Comparison of conditions as shown by - : aerial maps and the number of shells and V-**. vehicles is important. Every change no matter how small has a' meaning. Absolute vigilance is required of the I secret service man. He must always be J on the alert. Men arc stationed in balI loons behind the lines and they observe I the eneijiy through powerful telescopes. ; I Listening posts are situated along the lines. The enemy must be watched every minute of the day and night. The secret service man must have alertness, energy, the. ability of conveying information, and a flair for news. He must submerge himself in thet unit so that the service may work as one man.

M. Newton gave a very interesting speech on "The Proper Attitude of the Legislature Toward the University of South Carolina." The next speaker, J. H. Wolfe, gave a very informative account of the "Smedley Butler-Mussolini Case." The query for the debate of the evening was Resolved: "That the Wearing of Freshman Caps on the Campus of the University of South Carolina Should Be Abolished." J. W. Brown and J. H. Galloway upheld the affirmative and were opposed by T. C. Hankins and J. Sam Taylor. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. It was decided by the society that the reception for new officers would be given next Tuesday night. u. s. c. Fraternity Houses Ordered Padlocked Five fraternity houses at the University of Michigan were padlocked by police last week upon the discovery of a quantity of liquor in a series of raids. Under an order issued by the faculty committee on student affairs the five houses must remain closed until September 1. They may then reopen, but the fraternities will be on social probation for the 1931-1932 school year. That means Jhe organizations involved may have no social functions during the year. u. s. c. Middle-Aged Men Can Learn Fast as Young " * That middle-aged students can learn as rapidly, if not more rapidly, than young students, has been proved by the University of California in a series of examinations conducted here. According to university officials, adults taking correspondence work, as well as regular college courses, during the past' year have, in general, showed greater progress in their subjects than campus undergraduates of college age. This superiority is laid, in part, to the serious intentions of the older students. All girls interested in the art of fencing please report to Mr. Crawfords office Friday at 4:30.

EXCHANGES I SEVERAL ON THE PROFS Five gullible professors at the University of Rochester were fleeced of $13 apiece by a flattering crook "from one of the best established publishing houses in the country," who informed them that they alone had beep chosen "from the 1,500 most outstanding and prominent professors in the United States" to own a "beautifully designed set of Morocco bound leather encyclopaedia." The embarrassed victims now assert that over a billion dollars are lost annually through fraudulent investments and that they are proud to have done their share in filling the quota. Students at Berkley, California, had a practical demonstration of the absentminded professor when Professor Stuart Daggett walked into a classroom and began a rapid fire lecture on an engineering problem. Prompt-.d by a student, he blushed, said, "I must be in the wiong room," and left. x Dean Parsons of the University of Oregon states that nine-tenths of the college professors would starve to death if they had to make their living any other way. At last something new in college rackets comes to our attention. At Colorado, you can be insured against being called on in class. Rates vary with professors. Should a student who is insured be called upon, he receives double his premium. This sort of puts a premium on cither laziness or modesty.?Crimson-White. Freshmen at Mississippi A. and M. College recently handled an edition of the Rcflcctor, the student weekly newspaper there. It was printed with green ink on green tinted paper, but the freshmen weren't so green, for they published a good paper. If you like to dance, go to Oregon State. Fifty-two dances were held there in one week. Relativity Explained "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours yon think it's only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That's relativity."?Albert Einstein. The new collegiate system of measure: Two pints, one quart; two quarts, one fight; one fight, two cops; two cops, one judge; one judge, thirty days. A Good Reason Why Cornell men never date one of their own co-eds has at last becorpe evident. Measurement of brains at the university has definitely demonstrated that the women there are equal mentally to the men. A "Dating Bureau" Kansas State College has installed a "dating bureau" for students. Women filing their names with the office, to make the bureau successful should answer a questionnaire including the following points: Height? Waist? Drink? Smoke? Neck? Appetite? Age? One of the oldest freshmen in the world is at the University of Chicago. He is 72 years old and obeys all the regulations and rules which the frosh must follow. Obcrlin College trustees are building two dormitories, one of which is to be for married students. This will be equipped with "kitchenette suites and all modern conveniences for married life," an announcement says. It has been found that the greater percentage of failures in college occur in the freshman class, so the Kappa Phi Kappa National Educational fraternity of Emory and Henry College of Virginia is attempting to help the members of that class by giving them special tutorage in the dormitories. The plan is to have those upper classmen who are majoring in a certain subject help any freshman who may he having trouble in that subject.?Old Cold and Black. Co-eds at Southwestern resented the statement made by a local minister to the effect that the girls of the school had attended dances on the campus in indecent costumes, and demanded an apology. .MM... ? Paid to Drink Beer The Work Psychology Institute in Dortmund, Germany, is paying a lad to drink 14 bottles of beer a day. The idea is this?the psychologists want to find out how long it will take a person fortified with 14 bottles of beer to become tired. There was more than one applicant for the position. The class of 1882 of Iowa Wcsleyan College has finally erected a class monument. A grey granite boulder which the seniors bought in 1882 to be used as a memorial was stolen by the junior class and was not discovered until recently. . / .. i Kilpatrick Speaks In Chapel At Sunday "Y" ,v, Y. M. C. A. Hears of His Experiences in Soviet Russia After the War * The speech that Professor Emmet Kilpatrick was to deliver in the Chapel materialized last Sunday night in the form of a dynamic, gripping, interesting, and inspiring oration on "Soviet Russia." 4n the beginning Professor Kilpatrick traced the rise of bolshevism in France and other countries and showed how it spread into Russia when the time was ripe and become supreme. He gave a vivid .picture of the economic freedom and happiness ^that Soviet Russia is enjoying today, due to tho displacing of capitalism by a government of soviets. He made a lasting impression upon his hearers by his narration of some of his hair-raising experiences as a captive of the bolshevists'in the course of and shortly after the World War. Professor Kilpatrick painted word pictures of his personal observation of battles, of his confinement in the most terrible prisons in the world, and of his numerious hair-breadth escape from crack firing squads. In closing he reviewed the present economic condition of the world and ! showed the effect that bolshevism is having and will have upon it, pointing out that the world needs a leader w,ho will free it from economic slavery. '< u. s. c. JOKES I; '------?-???J ] At a bridge party, a college boy asked his partner if she objected to his smok- 1 ing a pipe. 1 "Yes," was the unexpected reply. "Then you'll never make a good actress," he rejoined. "My mother objects to kissing." "But I didn't ask to kiss your mother." ' "What happened to Bill?" ( "Drowned while skating." 1 "Fall through the ice?" < "No; he fell down and spring came 1 before he could, get up." She: "Sir, do you realize to whom you ; are speaking? I am the daughter of an ; English peer." i He: "That's all right; I am the son j of an American doc." St. Clause: "Here, boy, what's the ' matter with Prancer?" ' Ganomec: "He's got athlete's hoof 1 again, boss." Critic: "The picture of the horse is i good, but where is the wagon?" Artist: "Well, now, you know, the I! horse is supposed to draw that. "And how's your husband getting on | with his reduciiig exercises?" "You'd be surprised?that battleship he had tatooed on his chest is now only a rowboat." Two tourists met in a street too nar- . row for them to pass. One, being very hot-tempered, shouted to the other: I ' never back up for any damn fool." The other driver calmly threw his car in re- 1 verse and backed out saying: "O. K., ' pard, I always do." ? 1 Hiram: "May I have the lantern to go 1 see fny girl?" ] Farmer: "To go sec your girl! Why, ^ I didn't use no lantern when I went a- ' courting." j Hiram: "Well, look what you got." ^ - < Caro: "This has been a trying week."

Don't tell me you'vff been smoking I" Daughter: "Why, mother, that isn't tobacco smoke I've just been shooting my husband, that's all." A. T. O.: Most of the Caroling co-eds prefer not to marry. * S. A. E.: How do you know ? A. T O.: I've asked them. If all the collegiate Fords at Carolina were placed end to end on Main Street, it would be foolish. Wife: Do you realize that twenty-five years ago today we became engaged? That Absent-Minded Professor: Twenty-five years 1 You should have reminded me before, dear, it is certainly time we got married. V A . . y< : 1 CLUB PRESENTS MANY PROGRAMS " Confederate Soldier's Home, Alms House and City Jail are Visited Reports of the various programs given by the Carolina Christian Service Club at the Confederate Soldiers' Home, the Alms House, City Jail and other institutions were presented at its regular meeting in Sloan. College Wednesday night. ' An interesting discussion of the question "How May We Determine What Is Right or Wrong" was led by thg president in the devotional period. On Tuesday afternoon a program was presented for the veterans at the Confederate Soldiers' Home. The program especially featured piano sel- I ections by S. M. Salley and J. M. Taylor. J. J. Brown forcefully presented a talk on "Christ Universally Meeting the Needs of Mankind." A male quartette sang numerous religious hymns requested by the veterans and also a number of the old Southern melodies. Programs have been presented regularly for the old Confederates of the home and they seem to greatly appreciate the interest that the University students are manifesting in them. At the meeting plans were made for activities of the coming week. A stereopticon lecture is being planned for the next Vegular meeting and, according to President Brown plans are being made for a series ot programs at the Holly Hill schools. SULLIVAN PRIZE TO BE AWARDED (Continued from page one) the award are those of helpfulness to fellowman and of influencing those with whom the recipient comes in contact toward higher standards of living. The character of Algernon Sydney Sullivan exemplifies these principles. The award was established at the University in 1926 and in 1927 the first I award was given. John Ralston Pate and Silas Seidman were the students receiving the award. The non-student award went to the late George H. I Huggins, at that time treasurer of the University. Through some mistake the award that year was made to two male students instead of one man and one woman. In 1928 the awards went to Thomas Moore Craig, Charlotte, N. C., and Bessie Leora Johnston, St. George. The non-student award was conferred an Dr. Frank* Hilton McLeod, of Florence. No p^sentation was made in 1929 because the faculty committee could find no one whom they considered worthy of the award. In 1930, Frank I Buie, of Patrick, and Lottie Virginia Muller, of Blythcwood, received the student awards and Mrs. Addie S. Madden, who for twenty-five years has been matron of the infirmary, received the non-student award. The New York Southern Society has established the award at the fol- I lowing .southern colleges and universities: Antiocli College, College ot William and Mary, Davidson College, George Peabody College for Teachers, Flampden-Sydney College, Judson Colcge, Mercer University, Rollins Colege, St. John's College, Uhiversity ol Alabama, University of Kentucky, University of North Carolina, University of South Carolina, University of Virginia, and Washington and Lee University. These colleges have written many letters to the national committee 3n the award telling of the outstanding place that this honor held on their | .
