BREAD ROl I NEWS | rE ADVISES VL GUIDANCE Professor R. L. Sumwalt, Who is chairman of the Kiwanis International Committee on Vocational Guidance, recently received a letter touching on the subject of vocational guidance from Harry Wolfe, former star athlete, who is now working in Cambridge, Mass. Portions of the letter stressed the importance of vocational guidance in colleges. "I certainly think you are doing a big thing in this Vocational Guidance program that you are following," writes Wolfe. "It is something, to my mind, that carries with' it enough importance and consequence to have the governments of the states behind it, if not the Federal government. If statistics were ever taken on the time lost by young men in this country floundering around from one thing to another in search of some course to suit their particular talents, the results would be staggering." While in college Wolfe was a star football player and the champion heavyweight boxer of the Southern Conference. In his letter he states that athletics arc important, but that too much stress should not be placed upon them and other extra-curricular activities. On this subject Wolfe writes: "And while I am heartily in favor of whole hearted participation in althletics apd social lifev while in school, it cannot be denied that the primary purpose and aim of every man in college is to get some sort of an education to prepare himself for the fight in life. And it is a fight and a struggle for a man to get somewhere and amount to something and he cannot be too well equipped. "How many times since I have been out of school have I heard the remark, not only from boys from S. C., but from graduates from all over the country. If I only knew then what I know now, believe me, I would have studied and gotten more out of my work, I would not criticize or ridicule the so-called .book worm. If a man could just be made to realize and see these things ahead of time, how much trouble and effort it would save him when he gets out into the world. How much easier the sailing would be. All this other stuff, dates, dances, parties, and the like can come later." Wolfe is now connected with a large fire insurance company as an engineer in charge of construction and from all reports is rising in the world quite rapidly. U. S.' C. FORMER STUDENT GOES TO GERMANY Henry B, Bull, a former student of j the University and who for the past three or four years has been holding a fellowship"at the University of Minnesota, is planning to attend the Kaiser Wilhclm Institute in Dahlcm, Germany. This information was given by Dr. Francis Bradley of the German department, who has recently received a letter asking for some information concerning the books Mr. Bull studied here, so the latter can brush up on his language. i tOLINA STUDENTS DRUG CO.

Dr. B. W. Harrison of the University Drug Store personally led the raid. One of his optimistic customers called up over the telephone and boldly asked that a stick of chewing gum be sent to an address something like ten blocks away. No, doc didn't throw a fit, didn't even behave in a peculiar manner. He dug ' down in his favorite show case and selected a likely flavor of "coed's delight." A delivery boy was summoned and quickly despatched toward the other, end of . the phone call with the stick of chewing gum and a collect bill of one cent.

TALKS AGAINST CHAPE SYSTEM IN LITERARY SOCIETY Gettys Denounces Compulsory Attendance; Clipping of Freshmen's Hair Debated On last Tuesday night the Clariosophic Uterary Society held its regular weekly meeting. The program was opened by J. Riley Gettys who spoke on "Compulsory Chapel Attendance at the University of South Carolina." Mr. Gettys maintained that compulsory chapel attendance should be abolished because it resulted in no material benefit and because such a practice worked contrary to the rights of the students. The program was featured by a heated debate on the query, Resolved: That a policy of hair clipping for all freshmen at Carolina should be instituted." The affirmative, represented by T. C. Hankins and W. C. Herbert, contended that some such drastic measure as hair-clipping should be instituted to,restore Carolina spirit. The negative, represented by Woodrow Lewis and J. J. Mack, maintained that the University needed something to restore spirit but nothing of such a barbaric and antiquated type. The decision was awarded to the negative side. J. M. Windham presided over the meeting in the absence of the president, John Bolt Culbertson, who was confined in the infirmary with a slight case of flu. u. s. c.
