Mr. Groeschel's letter is as follows: "A band of young people who go about carrying church services to shut-ins deserve much commendation, and we are giateful that you are including this hospital on your itinerary. ; Your welcome was attested by the fact that nearly every man who is able to leave his bed was in the auditorium yesterday to listen to you.

Camp Discovers That Most Divorces Are Caused By Oruelty "Marriages in South Carolina and the United States are affected quickly by nances, increasing in periods of prosperity and decreasing in hard times," according to an M. A. thesis in the University of South Carolina Jibrary entitled "Divorce and Desertion with special reference to South Carolina," b> Ruth DeCamp. Among the interesting facts found ir her study Miss DeCamp discovered thai cruelty?not Neglect to Provide, Drunkenness, Adultery, or Disertation,?is the prime cause for divorce in the U. S. In a survey made in 1925, she found that neglect to provide caused only 3.7% of the divorces, drunkenness only 1.4% and adultery only 9.8%, whilev crueltj leads the list. That the native-born citizens of th( United States apply for more divorces than do the foreign-born, was alsc brought out in her thesis. *" "The group having the largest per cent of foreign-born (New England) does not have the largest percent of di vorces. While the group with the small est percent of foreign-born (East Soutl Central) comes next to the largest it percent of divorces. The South Atlantic group (including South Carolina) comes second in thi percent of foreign-born, and lowest it percent of foreign-born, and lowest ii percent of divorce." From these statistics, Miss DeCamj concludes that foreign birth has littl< or nothing to do with compatability o married life. South Carolina has had reported th< lowest divorce rate among her citizen than any other state. "With no divorce law, South Carolin; has at least kept more families togethe: than any other state," she says. Mos South Carolinians are forced to go t< either Georgia or North Carolina to se cure a divorce. v. a. o. , Bureau Gives Aid To Many Guiding students in the selection o their studies is one of the many duties o the Personnel Bureau at the University according to President L.

The race for secretary and treasurer , with only three competitors will find j the following men in the running: . Harold Mauney, T. R.

The astounded onlookers doubted the arky s statement. They "razzed" him, nd suddenly he became anxious to prove fiat glass and other supposedly nonatables really did make a very palatable ish. He collected a batch of Gillette razor lades from various sources, and for the ext five minutes was engaged in biting lie blades, chewing them into small pariclcs, and munching the jig-saw remains, ^fter the blades tumbled down his palte, he affected a broad grin, and took ff his cap. "Four pop bottles and a couple of milk ottles make a pretty good meal," he oberved. "Hit takes me a hour ter eat Coca-Cola bottle, but I sho kin do hit. jit me one an Ah'll eat it fo' yo\" Meanwhile, he was passing his cap imong the students. An interested co-ed felt sorry for him. Here, Lncle, take this for your dinler." It was a mirror from her compact. V. 8. C. Baker Reports On Infirmary The health of the University students s provided for efficiently," according to president L. T. Baker in his annual report to the State Legislature. The report reads in part: "At the University infirmary annual examinations are given to all new stuJents and freshmen at the time of entering and to seniors before graduation. Whenever defects are discovered careful attention is paid to them, even to the smallest, and, if necessary, students are sent to specialists ^t their own expenses, but with an introduction from the University physician in order to secure reduced rates. It is hoped that as soon as financial conditions warrant an appropriation can be made to enlarge the buildings and more adequately meet its demands. U. 8. O.

Engineering and the law tied for sccond place in the list of professions chosen by the men, with accounting and chemistry following in order. ' Interesting sidelights on the composition of the University student body were shown by the fact that eight boys and one girl plan to be aviators, four boys plan to enter professional baseball, one is going to raise horses, and three wish to become musicians. Among the girls only one in the whole group admitted that she intended to get married and make a home, while others plan to become nurses, beauty specialists, buyers, and the like, in all mentioning fifteen other vocations and professions. Five girls plan to become doctors. u. m. c. Junior Lawyer G-ive Seniors Annual Banquet The Junior Law class honored the Senior Law class with an annual banquet at the Lakeview Grill recently. B. D.

C. While in Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Matteson were entertained both in musi:al and governmental circles. At the festival which lasted three days, :he internationally famous Adolf Busch String Quartet made its initial appearuice in America. This feature of the program, was considered by Mr. Matteson to be the outstanding event of the invention. I Mr. Matteson said that while in Washington he saw a newly perfected invention winch will enable radio listeners to regulate their sets so that they may he&r the voices of the singers more clearly and subdue the orchestral accompaniment so that it docs not interfere with the vocal score. Also, declared Mr. Mattcson, further radio advances now have made possible the reproduction of music in such a way that the different instruments in the orchestra sound as though they were in their proper places on the stage. In the past the effect has been impossible, due to the necessity of crowding the players around the microphone. Crow Writes | To Teachers | Dr. Orin Crow, Dean of the School of Education, recently wrote letters to graduates of the school who are at present * engaged in teaching. The letter asked their reactions to the following questions : "What could the school have done to prepare you better for the work you arc doing?" "What could the school reasonably do to improve its professional training?" "What training at the University did you receive which has been the most valuable in your work?" "What training was the least valuable?^ According to Dr. Crow, the answers received are varied and interesting and show a co-operative spirit between the School of Education and its graduates. The letters, he states, will prove a valuable aid in improving instructions in education courses. South Carolinians Lazy Is Assertion Of Epting "The South Carolinian wastes time, and his invariable rule is never to hurry regardless of circumstances" asserts C. L. Epting in an M. A. thesis written at the University entitled, "What factors in the social heritage of South Carolina are favorable or unfavorable to education?" Mr. Epting pictures the South Caro- A linian taking what he calls a "midday nap, his all day visits to the crossroads store on a rainy day, and the universal habit of standing on his neighbors' doorsteps chatting about the crops and the weather after the formal visit had been concluded."
