Along the stairs and landings are displayed
drawings of chalk, charcoal and

. chalk sketch easily recognized as Miss
Sarah Quattlebaum drawn by Miss Mary
B. Taylor. This is the largest sketch of
this kind yet done in the department.
The third floor is devoted to paintings
in oil and water colors of portraits and
still life. A iarge portrait of Professor

favorable comment.

No Dictograph on
Campus, Says Keith
Rumors that the department of
Romance Languages has acquired a
dictograph arc false, according to a
statement made by Professor Keith
Wednesday afternoon.
The department would like very
much to have .such machine for use in
training prospective teachers in phonetics,
said Professor Keith, but
though they have been considering
buying one for twenty years, there has
never been enough cash on hand. A
dictograph costs approximately $225.

ELON PRESIDENT
(Continued from page one)
five hundred.
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.

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.

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

STORE TO BUY I
UP USED BOQKS |
Coach A. 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.
