:= Alh Frost Walker Is Youngest State Solon Twenty-One Years Old There Have Been Three J. Frost Walkers In House Of Representatives J. Frost Walker, 21, of Union, the youngest State Legislator South Carolina has ever produced, is the third member of his family to become a member of the House of Representatives. Two J. Trost Walkers, his father and his grandfather, preceded him in the House, both being elected young. The grandfather of the present legislator served for Richland County and was subsequently County Clerk of Court. Young Walker's father was sent to the House from Union County while still in his twenties. Although a political fledgling, Walker led the ticket in his county and was clected over five seasoned politicians in the first primary. His platform embraced tax reform, betterment of the condition of the laboring man, and a ^decrease in State's demands upon counties. ^ Walker first exercised his political abilities in 1932 by running for the edicjrtorship of the Gamct and Black, year book of the University, a position which g. he won handily. J He is an honor student at the University, where he is studying law. He ^ recently was initiated into Omicron ^ Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity. u. i. o.?? Mikell Resigns From Position At Hospital Saying that such criticisms as he had attempted had met with absolutely no response, Dr. Pinckney V. Mikell, '97, told the chairman of the board of trustees in a letter dated January 16 that he was offering his resignation as Chief-ofstaff of the Columbia Hospital. Dr. Mikell, who has been chief-ofstaff since 1929, said that he was reluctant to make public his letter to the board of trustees, but said however that "it was a public matter." It was not the first time that he has tendered his resignation, but always he has been prevailed upon to remain. u. I. o. Journalist Finds Bible Is Useful What is the most useful book for newspapermen ? A striking answer to this question by Charles A. Dana, famous editor of the New York Sun and one of the greatest newspaper makers the world has known, was recently found by J. Rion McKissick, dean of the school of journalism in the University of South Carolina, in a rare book. Speaking to students of Union College in 1893, Dana said: "There are some books that are absolutely indispensable to the kind of education that we are contemplating, and to the profession that we arc considering; and of all these the most indispensable, the most useful, the one whose knowledge is most effective is the Bible. There is no book from which more valuable lessons can be learned. I am considering it now not as a religious book, but as a manual of utility, of professional preparation, and professional use for a journalist. There is perhaps no book whose style is more suggestive and more instructive, from which you learn more directly that sublime simplicity which never exaggerates, which recounts the greatest event with solemnity, of course, but without sentimentality or affectation, none which you open with such confidence and lay down with such re\erence. There is no book like the Bible. When you get into a controversy and want exactly the right answer, when you arc looking for an expression, what is there that closes a dispute like a verse from the Bible? What is it that sets up the right principle for you, which pleads for a policy, for a cause, so much as the right passage of Holy Scripture?" U. S. C. G-rad Placed On Governor's Staff Among recent appointments to Governor Blackwoods military staff is a Carolina graduate, W. H. Jones, '18, of Barnwell. Mr. Jones and W. R. Coc of Walterboro were appointed under special orders issued from the office of the State Adjutant General.

Frost Walker Smiths Pass Joneses On Enrollment Books The Smiths have at last overcome the lead of the Joneses at the University of South Carolina. The name Smith now numerically leads all others at the University for the term 1932-1933. One and one half per cent of the student body, or exactly 25 students, answer when Smith is called. Smith was second last year when Jones held the numerical lead. Taylor, Brown, and Jones this year occupy second, third and fourth places respectively. Martin, which was preeminent two years ago, now reclines in eleventh place. n !??&??& MWhIHR THEY'RE MILDER THEY TASTE BETI P193 J. Xjockt k Myiu Tobacco BITS Hold Funeral For Alumnus Charles 0. Wilson Of Columbia Was Prominent Architect Of South The funeral of Charles Coker Wilson, 1900, prominent Columbia architect, who died recently was held at his home on Gervais Street, with the Rev. Henry D. Phillips, D.D. of Trinity Episcopal Church, officiating. After obtaining his M.A. from South Carolina College, Mr. Wilson studied architecture at L'Ecole dc Beaux Arts, in Paris. As an architect Mr. Wilson was well known not only in South Carolina, but in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina as well. Born in Hartsville November 20, 1864, Mr. Wilson was of Scoth-Irish Society Hill stock. Davis, LeConte, Thorn well, and Woodrow Colleges were built by Mr. Wilson, as were many public buildings in neighboring states.

Olson Says Commerce Grads Are Successful "Not one graduate in ten years who conscientiously completed his course in commerce here is out of a job today," said George E. Olson, dean of the scliool of commerce in the University of South Carolina, in a recent vocational guidance talk to University freshmen. "One of our former students made $10,000 his first year out, another made $300 a month during his senior year, while another was offered $3,600 a year before he graduated." ~eopl< fl W 11 : mm mm B ? StS [Hrm William Dean Was Friend Of Novelist William Dean, head of the dramatic department of the University and director of the Palmetto Players, recalls in the recent death of John Galsworthy, eminent British novelist, poet, and playwright, his close association with him while he resided in England. It was under Mr. Dean's direction that one of Mr. Galsworthy plays, "Justice", was acted here at the Town Theatre some time ago. Because of personal friendship with the English author, with whom he worked in Galsworthy's "Silver's Box" in Manchester, England, production was permitted without payment of royalties. Now in the possession of Mr. Dean is a letter from Galsworthy, granting permission to produce "Justice" and recalling many pleasant experiences in the Palmetto State. Not only did Galsworthy spend some time in this state at Camden, but he laid scenes here in some of his novels and short stories. u. a. o. Flora To Head Scout Council \ A. Clinc Flora and S. P.
