? BRADLEY TELLS Wm j OP ARMY WORK SECRET UNIT EXPLAINED AH Who Expect to Find Exciting Nick Carter Adventures 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. < 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 j^^ittfekwith topography or the position of the Mfcnemy." . I Dr. Bradley discouraged all those who Hdanned to take up secret service work Htecausg they thought it resembled the ^Bdoings of Nick Carter or some other - - ' * Whero of the penny dreadfuls. Secret servHicc work does not require the hiding in t Hclosets or donning dark glasses and false Hwhiskers. Dr. Bradley had to read and study - >,T I blood-stained photographs, maps and let*7 ? ters. He had to learn wireless and the r:M detection of battery implacements by - ? sound. He had to learn to locate aero I planes and discover their purposes. Comparison of conditions as shown by ' I aerial maps and the number of shells and Swl/i'l vehicles is important. Every change no I matter how small has a' meaning. ' Absolute vigilance is required of the " I secret service man. He must always be on the alert. Men are stationed in balI loons behind the lines and they observe I the enemy through powerful telescopes. . - I Listening posts are situated along the ? I lines. The enemy must be watched every I minute of the day and night. ; 1 The secret service man must have ; " . I alertness, energy, the. ability of conveying information, and a flair for news. H He must submerge himself in the unit so that the service may work as one man.

Clariosophics Jo Hold Reception Next Week To Celebrate Recent Inauguration of Newly Elected Society Officers The Clariosophic Literary Society held its ijrst regular meeting since the in-j auguration of new officers, last Tuesday night with a literary program. , Introducing the program, R. 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 "Smcdlcy 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. Hank ins 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 Tiiesday night. ] v. ?. c. ^ Fraternity Houses Ordered Padlocked Five fraternity houses at the Uni- 1 versity 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 1 committee on student affairs the five houses must remain closed until Sep- 1 tembcr 1. They may then reopen, but the fraternities will be on social probation for the 1931-1932 school year, j That means the organizations involved may have no social functions during the t year. * u. s. c. x Middle-Aged Men Can 1 Learn Fast as Young , That middle-aged students can learn 1 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 v taking correspondence work, as well as 1 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, j All girls interested in the art of fencing please report to Mr. ( Crawfords office Friday at 4:30. ?????| t DRUG CO. n Street L, NIGHT t IPMENT i Whites i iring- the Call of i ?e Dressers OD SHIRTS nd Up 'hem wis CO. t Lady is Representative EXCHANGES| 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 beei) 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. Prompted by a student, he blushed, said, "I must be in the wtong 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 rackits comes to our attention. At Colorado, ^ou can be insured against being called 5n in class. Rates vary with professors. Should a student who is insured be called lpon, he receives double his premium. This sort of puts a premium on cither aziness or modesty.?Crimson-White. Freshmen at Mississippi A. and M. Colege recently handled an edition of the deflector, the student weekly newspaper here. It was printed with green ink on jreen tinted paper, but the freshmen vercn't so green, for they published a food paper. 1 If you like to dance, go to Oregon State. Fifty-two dances were held there n one week.

C. A. Hears of Hia 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." Jn 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 the 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 1 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 1 At a bridge party, a college boy asked his partner if she objected to his smok- < ing a pipe.

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 selections 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 Southerly melodies. Programs have been presented regularly for the old Confederates of the home and they seem to greatly ippreciate the interest that the University students are manifesting in hem. At the meeting plans were made for ictivities of the coming week. A stereopticon lecture is being planned for the next Vegular meeting ind. according to President Brown )lans are being made for a series ot >rograms at the Holly Hill schools. SULLIVAN PRIZE TO BE AWARDED (Continued from page one) :he award are those of helpfulness to ellowman and of influencing those vith whom the recipient comes in :ontact toward higher standards of iving. The character of Algernon Sydney Sullivan exemplifies these >rinciplcs. The award was established at the University in 1926 and in 1927 the first iward was given. John Ralston Pate ind Silas Seidman were the students eceiving the award. The non-student iward went to the late George H. Huggins, at that time treasurer of the University. Through some mistake the iward that year was made to two male >tudents instead of one man aijd one voman. In 1928 the awards went to Thomas Moore Craig, Charlotte, N. C., and Bessie Lcora Johnston, St. George. The non-student award was conferred in Dr. Frank# Hilton McLeod, of Florence. No pr9sentation was made in 1929 )ecause the faculty committee could ind no one whom they considered worthy of the award. In 1930, Frank Buie, of Patrick, and Lottie Virginia Muller, of Blythcwood, received the itudent awards and Mrs. Addie S. Madden, who for twenty-five years ias been matron of the infirmary, rereived the non-student award.
