Social Case Work Students Hear
Address Of District
Secretary
Louisa Fitzsimmons, assistant field
director and Southern district secretary
of the Family Welfare Association
of America, addressed students in
a class of Social Case work last Monday.
Miss Fitzsimmons, who is a South
Carolinian, was born in Charleston,
and has been engaged in national family
welfare work since l'.>27. 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
lt,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 arc
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.

Four Students
Are Operators
Four students who would otherwise
not be able to attend the University
are working their way through as telephone
operators at the University Exchange.
Most of their work is done
at night, while they attend classes during
the day.
Over 9,800 calls during a day, beginning
at 8:30 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 arc 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.

Geology Professor Has Article
On Land Depression In
Journal Of Geology
I he October-November 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.
