Professor Babcock is well known in North Carolina, having served as head of the department of English at Elon before going to Williatn and Mary, where he was professor of English and Journal-I ism for a number of years. During the war, as a member of the State Speakers' I Bureau, he spoke extensively for patriotic and civic organizations. While at the College of William and Mary Professor Babcock was successively voted best professor in the annual stu-1 dent elections. He helped to initiate a publicity campaign which eventually resulted in the gift of several millions of dollars to the City of Williamsburg, which is now being restored to colonial splendor. Under the auspices of the National Editorial Association, he revived the Virginia Gazette, oldest Southernl newspaper and the first paper to publish the Declaration of Independence, and I made it an extensively quoted journal. Professor Babcock has been at the I University of South Carolina for five years, where he is professor of English and Director of the Extension Division. Dr. Babcock has done much for the University since being here. He was in- J strumdntal in getting the O. D. K. chapter on the campus, and is now a national officer in that fraternity. He is conducting the extension department without an appropriation; supervises high school work every week, and serves on faculty I publicity, fraternity and catalogue committees. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Upsilon, Sigma Delta Chi, Omi- I cron Delta Kappa, Kappa Alpha, Social Cabinet and Debating Council. His place will be one hard to fill, if he decides to I leave the University. u. s. c. HERBERT GIVES INAUGURALTALK Pelzer Junior Succeeds Pinckney as President of Honor-Service Fraternity "School spirit at Carolina has dwindled for 110 apparent reason during the last few years. Because this obvious situation is inexcusable, it should be minimized next year through the cooperation of members of this organization," stated W. C. Herbert in his inaugural address before the members of Kappa Sigma Kappa on Thursday night. Herbert also stressed the necessity of the members of the club pulling together and with the campus at large in all activities and projects in which they enter. Roger Pinckney ended his successful term as president of the fraternity with a recounting of the last year's activity of K. S. K. He told of what the group had attempted to do and in what instances it had succeeded. "I consider it the greatest student honor ever bestowed on me when I was elected president of Kappa Sigma Kappa," said Mr. Pinckney in the course of his exaugural address. He closed with the statement that it was his fondest dcsii*fe for the fraternity that it have a most successful future. No business was taken up at this meeting, which was the last one to be held during this school year. The next meeting will be held early after college convenes next fall. At that time the principles of the honor-service fraternity will again be put into practice. . 1 ' ' m MMKfc, m?m wa^ MBB M WT PEP . hHP^; ^?H : < IMfcv: / ?K. 9B ^IPil . ^ . H^. HHh^:;:;M !

Luke Williamson of Aiken was second. Hankins is a member of the Clariosophic Literary society and Williamson is a member of the Euphradian. Both were members of the Carolina varsity debating team this year. The query of the debate was: "Resolved, That The Principles of the Chain Store System Are Detrimental To the Best Interest? of the American Public," Judges for the contest were Edward S. Cardwcll and W. W. Holland. This debate was open to all members of the two boys' literary societies. It was sponsored by Mr. Sylvan, prominent citizen of Columbia. To win this contest is one of the highest debating honors attainable by a member of the Carolina literary societies. ' u. s. c. Changes Are Made For Free Tuition APPLICATIONS EACH YEAR Next Year Appeals Will be Made to State, Tax Commission Applications for free tuition beginning next year will be made to the South Carolina Tax Commission instead of to the State Board of Education, according to an act passed by the legislature at the last session. Application must be made each year, while previously an application covered a period of four years. The act requires every applicant to secure blanks and return them filled out sixty days prior to the contemplated entry into the University. Investigation will be made by the tax commissibn into the financial condition of "parents, guardians, or other persons liable in law for the support and maintenance of such persons who apply." In the event that the "decision is adverse, the institution shall require the payment of the tuition or if the applicant has already entered he shall be required to forthwith withdraw upon default of immediate payment." Attention of students has been called by the treasurer to the absence of any mention in the catalog of this important change. It was impossible to include this, as the publication had already gone to press. AQUARIUM BROKEN BY CARELESS ACT An aquarium in which Dr. J. T. Penney was raising fish for experimental purposes was recently broken by a student j who was stirring the water with a stick to make the fish move faster. The following notice has been posted: "Fish exhibit formerly on this table removed because of interference from a student (name unknown) who broke one aquarium and cast match stems *into another. We invite co-operation in the care of our exhibits." Match sticks and cigarette butts are frequently found in these aquaria, say the "authorities. A janitor had seen a student stirring the water shortly^ before the aquarium was broken, but there arc no clues as to his identity. \ 'ARTMEN ECONi Given in the University Chapel < of the Departme V The subject of Economics or the study of man in his efforts to make a living rests primarily on psychology which itself rests on Biology. This topic is being presented to you this morning in order to help you to decide whether courses in this department would be of help to you in deciding what you want to make of yourselves, and having decided to help make a success of your choice. Whether you wish to specialize in economics or not, one should have at least some ideas on the fundaments of money, prices, banking, labor, wages, profits, taxes, transportation, government, finance, agriculture, investments, real estate, business cycles, marketing, public expenditures, profit sharing, and socialism. Should you feel interested in any of the above topics, you are advised to take Economics 21 and 22, which will give you a hurried survey of the whole field. A desire for further stu^y in any of them can be supplied you in most cases by either one or two term courses. Career opportunities for those who major in economics may be found in: accounting, banking, transportation, merchandising, manufacturing, brokerage, insurance, real estate, business forecasting, advertising, trade journalism, industrial, commercial and business research, and all. lines of social service, including social reform. Whatever the student does he should leave college with a well-connected and integrated array of courses. So whenever a student decides what* he wishes to choose for his life career, he should consult his instructor as to courses in his major field as well as related subjects. Suppose a student decides to become an investment broker?he might take outlines of economics, business finance, public finance, economic history, economic geography, geology, mathematics of investment, statistics, accounting, psychology, sociology, government, business law, municipal corporation law. Should transportation meet his needs lie might take outlines of economics, transportation, business finance, United States history, economic history, economic geography, trade, public utilities law, engineering, etc. Too many students make the mistake of not taking related courses, and so leave the University without an integrated body of knowledge as a basis 011 which to build their main interest and career. Modern business is rapidly becoming a profession, and other things being equal, the man with an idea as to how business works and why things are done the way they are done, will be able to see his work as a logical process and be able to take an intelligent part in it, eventually climbing up to the limits of his capacity. A business man without a knowledge of economics is like a chauffeur who does ndt understand how his motor works, so provided the motor runs smoothly, driving is simply a matter of practice, but should the motor get out of adjustment or the carburetor need attention because of a changed fuel, he docs not know what adjustments to make. Business methods arc continually changing because conditions arc different almost every day. The business man who knows something about economics will be able to analyze the change in method needed to meet the new situation and supply it, without waiting to copy what someone CAPITAL CIT 1119 Gerv Specialist^ in Dress ONE DA1 Clan!

B. Stoncy, manager of the canteen, bookstore, and pressing club, announced today that the University bookstore will not be ready to buy second-hand books until the last week of school. "Up to this year the bookstore has been under the personal student control as a concession," stated Coach Stoney. "It is' now under control of the student activity committee of the faculty, and all of the profits go to student activities." Fred Graham has been in charge of the book store, under the direction of j| Coach Stoney this year, with Ellison Cpne and Roy McDavid assisting him during the rush season. Furman Gressette, and Frank Gary, now lawyers at St." Matthews and Co- $? lumbia, respectively, were the two students who started the book store on the campus.' T$j8 Other outstanding Carolina men who have worked in the book store in the *&1 past are Bob Gressette, captain of the 1930 football team, "Blood" Hildebrand, ' lawyer at York, Billy Reamer and Stoney McDaniels, two other well-known alumni.

Those who are able to meet change first are those who benefit by it, while those k who try to resist change are often caught in its ill effects. In the department of economics we do not emphasize teaching the students an array of facts so much as how our economic institutions work, then when the facts of today become modified tomorrow the student will be able to understand the change and profit accordingly. On leaving college don't be too anxious to get the best paying job possible, remember that you have been taught a great deal of theory, and that you must have time to digest it and test it out by observation of the business world surrounding you; that you cannot be a successful business - man without years of experience, and that your college training has your whole life-time in which to demonstrate its value. I'or those interested in pure economics there are many possibilities. 1 he League of Nations in its efforts to improve the economic condition of countries under its care has made uso of economists. National governments usually consult with economists over questions like the tariff/ ways to lessen hard times, etc. b--... > i BBSj Y LAUNDRY rais Street Shirts and Collars if WORK tSexiS LLS CAKES t of Quality" Bryan Co.
