College Influence
Replies to the National Student Federation questionnaire
on the state of employment among college
graduates indicate that less than 20 per cent
of the class of 1932 have been able to obtain selfsupporting
qobs. Of the 140,000 students graduating
this June, it is estimated not more than 15,000
will be successful in finding gainful employment.
In an open letter to the Class of '33 distributed
through the Association of Unemployed College
Alumni, John Dewey says:
"While one ought not to disperse the golden
halo of senior days by shoving the future under
the noses of the class of '33, the Association of
Unemployed College Alumni would be derelict in
its duty if it did not point out the cheerless prospect
for the graduate.
"No one yet knows exactly how many unemployed
college alumni there are. The Association
has written to deans and chancellors requesting
information and they have written back saying
that they would be very interested in any statistics
we might accumulate, since they had none themselves.
Conservative estimates place the number
of unemployed engineers in New York City from
5,000 upwards. Unemployed teachers make up
another 75,000 in the country. . . . The student
who graduates this year may just as well hang
around the campus taking graduate courses, since
it will do him no good to hunt a job. . . .
"College graduates are the most pitiful group
of workers in this crisis. Lawyers, engineers,
doctors, teachers, highly-trained business men?unemployment
has caught them all unorganized and
with no technique for combating the organized
agencies of retrenchment. ... Be it because of
too great self-esteem or of a tradition of lone-wolf
independence, until now the college alumnus has
neglected associations that might give him effective
bargaining power."
With such a small percentage of college graduates
able to find work, it is surprising to note
that students continue to attend college in increasing
numbers. Although there will probably be
125,000 graduates leaving school this year unable
to find work, it is also surprising and interesting
to note how few will express regret over having
attended college. Personal improvement and advancement
have much to do with this. The college's
is a stimulating and cultural atmosphere.
There is more to it than preparing one for a life's
work.
The Year-Book
The college annual is fast losing ground. The
University of Chicago recently abandoned the
publication of a year-book entirely, and at South
Dakota State College, the board of deans recommended
that the annual be discontinued because
of the high cost of the book to the students. Other
colleges and universities over the country have
taken similar action.
A common charge against the college an iual
is that it is filled with hundreds of pages of material
which does not reflect actual college life, a beautiful
and expensive book signifying nothing, and
portraying college life no more accurately than
the average movie scenario.
The Garnet and Black, University of South Carolina
year-book, is probably as guilty of this charge
as any annual in the country. The Gamecock.
cannot bring itself to believe, however, that it
should be abolished. Money spent on a year-book
now may sem to come hard, a small fortune spent
on something which, because of the immediacy
of all it represents, we cannot possibly appreciate
fully at present.
Place this same book in the corner somewhere,
and every year which steeps it more and more in
dust will be one of inflation. The book will grow
in value. It is filled with memories, as much so
as the family album.
What The Gamecock would like to see come to
pass is a reform in the election of The Garnet and
/Hacks stall rather than its abolishment. Election
of the annual's stall' should, like that of The Gamecock
and Carolinian, rest with the Student Board
ot Publications, composed of two representatives
from each of the two boys literary societies, one
from each of the two girls societies, the dean of
the School of Journalism, and the head of the
undergraduate English Department.
Under the proposed plan, the staff would submit
nominations for the various positions to the
board, final decision resting with this body. Thus
the publications board could study the staff nominations
from all angles, familiarize itself with all
the facts in the case and arrive at fair and just
conclusions.
An informed board may be "politicked" but
not to the extent an uninformed student body can.
IT. B. O.
Data compiled from 200 students entering Iowa
State Teachers College indicated that the student
having little previous work in high school in a
certain field of subject matter gets better grades
in college on that subject than the student who has
had much previous work in the same line.
"I'll pass this quiz," said the student resolutely,
"or I'll bust in the attempt.'7

4 NEW RACKET? al
One of the most famed campus poli- in
ticians whose record of coup d'etats is s<
convincing, has discovered yet another E
way to reap profit from student elec- n
tions. Recently he was seen perched b
on the wall and announcing that he s<
was willing to bet with all coiners as
to how any man on the campus would 4!
vote in the coming Student Body race. c<
TRAGIC NOTE^?'
Sidney Green, grand old man of y
the University and one of the campus q
land marks, should know better. Tucs- g
day he was seen nonchalantly stroll- OJ
ing down Pickens Street clutching jy
soinething in his hand. Upon closer c|
investigation it was discovered that the ^
object in Mr. Green's grasp was none
other than a real live baby rabbit of
the most minute proportions. Mr. _
Green looked sheepishly at the ground "j
when questioned on the subject and J
murmured half audibly, "I'm taking
it to a lady friend." Mr. Green is
a student in the law school, that most
dignified and respected department of
the University. ^
WHY, MITCHELL! h
The present era of literature is tt
principally distinguished from the C
others by the fact that its chief aim si
is to infuse into creative efforts the ai
quality of stark realism, the utmost w
verisimilitude; but it is also an acknowledged
fact that many of the c
modern novels and stories are taboo s|
in mixed company. sj
Mitchell Morse is a confirmed old ai
realist who stops at nothing to achieve tl
the semblance of truth. Mitchell is H
taking a course in short story writing R
and in this course he has made quite p
a name for himself. Recently he arose
to read one of his brain children which Q
dealt with a rather delicate situation. v
Realism pales at the thought of deli- c,
cacy. As has been said, Mitchell is v
a realist. Dr. Babcock paled at v
Mitchells realism. The young ladies ^
of the class, however, bathed nary an jcyelid.
c
IF YOU CARE? ? 1
To stop all arguments if any should R
arise on the subject, there are 25 *
Smith's, 17 Brown's, and 12 Jones's 3
listed in the campus directory. It must *
be admitted that included in the 11
Brown s there are a couple of *
Browne's, but what difference does *
that make? Therefore, locally, it is
not a case of "keeping up with the ~
Jones's", for the Smith's have the lead
by a good majority. All of which should
prove something or other.
WHAT'S IN ApNAME??
Those who saw the motion picture
Rasputin and the Empress" will remember
that Rasputin was not the
kind of person one would like to have ^
lolling around in the drawing room. ^
His manners were not of the brand
turned out by young ladies' finishing 1
schools. Well, it seems that the local *
chapter of Sigma Nu adopted a sad 1
specimen of caninity and honored him a
; with the cognomen of "Rasputin". The J
animal must have seen the picture for
he certainly attempted to live up to 1
his name. He was not at his best 1
in the house. Larly Wednesday morn- t
ing Jack Gasque might have been seen (
sorrowfully shipping the animal to 1
parts unknown.
WEEKLY SERMONETTE? \
A letter from the office of the prcsi- ]
dent recently announced the next c
semester it is probable that all fra- I
ternity houses will be required to have (
house mothers in residence. Loud t
and wild were the shouts that went up from
the local Greeks. Fraternity
houses on the campus do not serve
meals and one house mother would
take up a room which would normally
he rented by from two to four boys.
If Carolina were a large college and
its fraternity houses mansions, such a
ruling would not be unexpected, but
such is not the case. The ladies are
all right in their place, but their place
is not in a fraternity house. These
houses are homes for the boys and
most emphatically not "sinks of iniquity"
as some of the less enlightened
consider them. Instead of a moral influence
the house mother would be a
financial drain.

SOLUTION?
"I married my teacher and my present
occupation is loving her," was received
from one former high school
student in answer to a questionnaire
sent out by Lawrence Gary Bailey in 1924
from the University of South Carolina.
He was gathering statistics for his
Master of Arts thesis. His subject
was "A Study of the Problem of the
Elimination of Pupils from the High
Schools of South Carolina." The ques- ,
tion answered was why the student
had dropped out of school.

xtension division says that several of
hese sprigs have been planted on the
rounds of high schools throughout
he state and great interest lias been
roused in them. He plans to make
he granting of these sprigs a pcrnanent
institution provided that the
rees on the campus can sustain coninual
cutting.

papers handed in this year were the 1^'

mittcd by high school students All'^
of them were of such a high grade 1
that it was only with great difficulty %
that the winners were finally decided.
The contests were conducted this
year with no expense to the University.
Previously large sums had been expended
but this year with the taxing
of all contestants and the cooperation
of the Columbia townspeople the
University spent no money whatso- ?
ever.
A large part of the success of the
meet can be attributed to Dr. Babcock
who made the various arrangements
and had general charge of the program
and of registration.
This week Charles M. Lockwood, M
secretary of the league wrote Prcsident
Baker the following letter of Mi
appreciation for the efforts of the
University in furthering the meeting: J!
"The South Carolina High School!!
league is most grateful to the Univcrsity
of South Carolina, to you, and
