A meeting of this committee will probably be held before December 9 to draft its recommendations. The candidates suggested by this committee will probably be added to by other members 6f the board. Other topics at the next board meeting likely will include the matter of financing the model high school scheduled to open in the new education building at the University next year, Frank F. Welbournc, secretary of the board, said . Monday. Acting President Baker will also submit a business report to the meeting.

The budget commission, which com- j plcted its recommendations for the 1932 legislature Wednesday, placed the burden of reductions in the case of the University upon its salary item, it was learned. Allowances for permanent improvements and general upkeep were not subjected to serious reductions, one member of the commission commenting that "the University really needs what it asked for in these respects this year." While some economics were practiced with the request, the commission candidly stated its purpose to make reductions in the case of the University and /ther state institutions as small as possible in view of conditions. Amounts in round figures will not be announcod until the legislature meets in January. Dr. L. T. Baker, acting president of the University, presented the request to the budget commission November 5, with John A. Chase, registrar, Frank Welborne, treasurer, and members of the board of trustees. The University asked the largest amount of any state educational institution, with the request of Winthrop College next in size. Members of the budget commission are Governor Blackwood, Senator S. M. Ward and Representative Neville Bennett. tves Soon us Trip N orth ? ? ???

The driving forcc behind the bricklaying movement at the University; a man who can intimately associate with his students and yet be admired and respected by all. That's Havilah Babcock, professor of English and Journalism at the University. For many years he has nourished the thought of having sidewalks at the University, but he says, "It always seemed impossible for the scheme to be carried out." Several weeks ago, he talked with a few ^udents about the matter. They immediately became enthused with the idea. Leadership fraternities and sororities co-operated with him in raising the money necessary to carry out the plan. The actual bricklaying began about two weeks ago and has been steadily progressing. The Doctor estimates that the two main walkways will be completed well before the Christmas holidays begin. Professor Babcock is not only the director of the movement but is also on the scene of operations every day, working with the boys and bricklayers. Students have humorously remarked that he ought to be able to join the bricklayers union before long. Since the movement actually began, he has done nothing else but talk of bricks, according to his wife. "He has even started laying a brick sidewalk at his home," Mrs. Babcock declares. Bricklaying is not his only hobby. Mrs. Forest Makes Talk Wife Of Director Of Town Theatre Speaks Before The Auxiliary Club The University Auxiliary met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Walter E.

Classes Held At Apartment Unable to meet her classes at the University because of complications from a recent appendicitis operation, Mrs. Irene Dillard Elliott, Dean of Women and Professor of English, has been instructing her class in Ancient Drama from an easy chair in, her suite in Wit-Mary apartments. The seven members of the class go to class at the usual time, but instead of the bare seminar room in the Library, discussions are held in a comfortable living room. Mrs. Elliott, who has been confined to her home since her return from the hospital does not expect t<5 Teturn to her classes on the campus until some time after the Christmas holidays. . , J _?. . r_ " ? v>* *! up He Sabcock >ing Force Babcock He is an inveterate hunter' and goes every time he gets a chance. Most professors are poor shots with a gun, but not so with him. His neighbors say that he keeps them supplied with birds, squirrels, and other game. One day he came home with an opossum. His wife refused to let him cook it in their home, so he asked ^Irs. Parker, his secretary, if she would let him use hers. She agreed but told him that he would have to do all the cooking by himself. He did and everyone feasted on baked 'possum that night. We won't tell how sick they all got later.

M. C. A. "The mind of man is truly marvelous," said Dr. Morse. "With the aid of science we can address world-wide audiences and travel with inconceivable speed. Time and space have been well-nigh annihiliated, and the peoples of the earth have been brought closer together than ever before in human history." Each individual is faced with four difficult problems, said Dr. Morse: the problems of adjustment to himself, to his neighbor, to his country, and to the world. "Only a supreme genius, after a lifetime ^of struggle, ever completely adjusts himself to himself." v. n. o.i Doughboys To Help At Game Twenty members of the Richland Post No. 6, American Legion, will assist in keeping order at the University of South Carolina-Centre charity game here Saturday, it was announced today.
