Miss Fitzsimmons, who is a South Carolinian, was born in Charleston, and has been engaged in national family welfare work since 1927. She is one of the five secretaries who engage in field work for the national organization. Ways that Birmingham, Alabama, has helped solve its unemployment situation was particularly stressed by Miss Fitzsimmons. That southern city has, out of 250,000 population, some 14,000 families, and 17,000 individuals which are being assisted by emergency relief funds. It is interesting to note that Birmingham's greatest problem is the numerous well-trained, highly educated men who formerly made anywhere from $200 to $700 a month and who are now having to ask for assistance. In speaking of the states who were at all prepared to meet the grave situation now before the country, Miss Fitzsimmons stated that Alabama, out of the entire Union, was most prepared to meet such an emergency. v. a. o.

Most of their work is done at night, while they attend classes during the day. Over 0,800 calls during a day, beginning at 8:TtO a. m., and ending at 0:00 p. m. was an average according to a count made over a period of six days. The exchange at the University is the busiest branch in Columbia, and as | much work is done by one operator at the school as is done by three operators in town. There are six outside trunk-lines, thereby enabling six calls to be put through at the same time from the campus to points in the city. The total number of telephones on the campus is 56. u. s. c.

' ' - ' - J : ? -1 Concei Smith Writes For Journal Geology Professor Has Article On Land Depression In Journal Of Geology The October-Novcmber issue of the Journal of Geology contains an article by Dr. Lawrence L. Smith, of the University geology department, on the numerous depression that appear in the land along the inner margin of the coastal plain of the State. A form of itch has been found to exist in these depressions, caused by skin irritation by the sharp points of sponge skeletons. Living fresh water sponges have also been found in the ponds occupying depressions near Columbia. These sinks, abundant in the sand hill belt, range in size from 100 yards to a half a mile in diameter, and are from 4 to 20 feet deep. Some contain water, but others have been drained by ditches. The depressions arc explained by Doctor Smith as being caused by the solution of iron and aluminum from the sandy soil by ground water seeping through. The decay of vegetation creates acids which aid in the solution, hastening the work. hools uly Accredited number, bringing the total number to 1104, the same as in 1031. Dr. Stoddard has recently returned from the annual meeting of the Association, which was held this year in New Orleans, on December 1-2. At this meeting Fountain Inn high school was added to the South Carolina list. States included in the association southern territory are Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Watts Is Victor In Boxing Bout "Red" Watts, former University boxer and Southern conference welterweight champion, now turned professional, pounded Jackie Sutherland to ribbons in a six round preliminary to a series of matches held last Friday night in the Columbia Township auditorium. Watts started his oponents nose to bleeding early in the fight and soon both fighters were covered with blood. Sutherland was unable to reach Watts but was severely damaged himself. In the opening match of the evening "Kid" Berger, University freshman, fought Tally Eddings of Olympia to a draw. Berger seemed to have the better of his opponent, however, displaying more knowledge of the game and having the added advantage of several pounds additional weight. c. H. o.

Library Lends 14,000 Books Fourteen thousand, one hundred fifty-six books were borrowed during the last scholastic year from the University library.

There are over ninety thousand volumes in all in the library, which is one of the largest and best equipped in the South. p. m. o. Native Fish Discussed By Professor Penny Professor J. T.
