But other professors iroved less reticent than the head of he department of philosophy and isychology, and Professor Robert D. *ass, who was still recovering from lis oral Ph.D. exam., declared he inended to spend two-thirds of his time i\ bed. Rivaling Dr. Morse, however, was )r. Reed Smith, head of the graduate chool, who declared, "I'm tired of hese symposium interviews and won't ell you how or where I am planning o spend my summer!" The reporter etreatcd dodging a book. Kmmett Kilpatrick, professor of French, revealed that his summer /ould be passed at his farm in southrn Alabama, living next to nature nd doing some reading. If the sun ? not too hot, he added, he might do ome thinking also. Professor J. E. Norwood of the epartment of English declared that is summer would be passed here in Columbia, "doing what professors sually do in the summer, whatever hat is," he explained. Dr. Havilah Babcock intends to nake a trip into Canada and Wisonsin, writing and fishing en route. I'm behind on my fishing," he exilained, "and I intend to live on my ather-in-law. Most of my vacation vill he spent rejuvenating from the loredom of being interviewed." "I am planning to spend the summer t my Sabine Farm and finish a brick vail I started some time ago," said 'rofessor Harry Davis. Professor Joe Stokes, according to lis own admission, will spend part f the vacation "sedately teaching in ummer school" 'and the other part chastely living with my grandmother u south Georgia."

C. * Open Lettej Four years ago, practically every senior had the choice of several jof>s. A very different situtation faces those who graduate this year, when few will find work demanding their talents, however willing. Numbers of students have been asking for aid and advice in this situation. The author does not claim credit for the suggestions below but passes them on for whatever they may be worth. DO SOMETHING? Regardless of what it is, plan to do something when you leave the University. VVe are all hoping that the upturn in the nation's business has definitely set in. But even if this is so, the rise will be gradual, and the probabilities of your getting a job soon are still small. If you hang around home for the next six months or year doing nothing, the probability is that you will do nothing for the rest of your life Too many of the graduates of the last few years have lost all hope and all ambition simply because they have been doing nbthing. Do something if it is nothing more than getting ten acres of land somewhere and raising enough food for yourself and to exchange for clothing. The only hope you have in the future is to maintain your morale and ambitions within the next two years. I he following suggestions have been made for college graduates. If possible return to college for a higher degree. I here is no better time than the present for the student to round out lis formal education by taking some other courses for which he had no time during his academic years, or take a professional degree or a graduate egree Many engineering students ,itt,c time for* cultural courses. Now is the time for him to seize the opportunity for rounding out his personality in a way that may mean much for his advancement in uture years. The liberal arts student may take some courses in business administration or in the school of education in order to have a more balanced I'fe and with the idea of commandmg broader compensation in the future GETTING BACK TO LAND? A small ground of students could Join hands to plant and harvest a crop at could lie offered to the college in exchange for board in the Commons, Students Have Unusual Names There's a Still at the University of South Carolina. Not only that there's also a Brewer, and just to cap the climax, two Boozers! But there's no likelihood of a faculty investigating committee being appointed, for these happen to be just a few of the surnames found in the student directory of the University. 1 he nobility is well represented with 10 Kings, :$ Princes, 3 Dukes and a "age, while the ecclesiastical fold is present in a Pope, :i Bishops, a Friar and a Rector. The realm of Dan Cupid presents 1 Love and the inevitable Valentine! There are two Mclntoshes, for use when it's Raney and the watery element is further suggested by two Rivers and a I.ake. There is only one Worthy in school, an a Looney is harbored. I here is one Crow, a single Dove, one Peacock, three Storks and a Swann, with a Dickey also putting in an appearance. There is also one plain Hird. A single Pike represents the . y legion but the animals are therein abundance with two Foxes, a Lyon and four Wolfs. I'.atables represented are a Bean a Berry, a Chestnut, a Citron, two Hamnis, and two Rices, with a little Hay thrown in for roughage! There is only one Wise person in school, though a Weisman is present " you pronounce names to suit yourself! The single Christmas in school, though possessing an initial M, inconsiderately refuses to l,c named Mary City government is represented by a Mayer and maritime vessels by a Master. Occupations represented in the catalogue with the number of people bearing each surname are: Barbers, 2* Bakers, ?; Carters, 4; Cooks. 2* Coopers, 8; Gardners, 2; Shepherds, 2Millers, 4; Smiths. 2.",; Taylors. 15Turners. 0; , Kowler an(, # Other surnames applicable to things as well as people are: 2 Bells; l Banister; 2 Brooms; I Cane; r, Cannons; 2 ?H m: 1 S:OSS; 6 derricks; 4 Fords; ?

There are many idle farms that could he had for almost nothing at the present time. Few students will want to make farming a life work, hut they can make it a means of sustenance at the present time and that is what will count when few johs are to he had. ON TEACHING? Many students are going to try to get places as teachers regardless of the meager compensation. Education is now at the cross roads. Taxpayers are being impressed with the facts that it cost too much. In the future it will need stronger hands to guide it as it should go. There are many inspiring examples of men who have started teaching in a one room school, who have grown so that the field of education has not been able to hold them. What one man has done many can do. If you are going to try teaching, try it with the idea of making a real contribution to the life of the people of this State. STARTING NEW BUSINESSES? Marshall Fields Co. was started with a small store during a great depression. J Henry Ford started making automobiles during a depression. The names of many great firms can be listed among those which were started under just such conditions as confront us now. The small business has a much better chance than the big one at the present time. You will be working for yourself, you have no great debt hanging over you to be amortized, you have no enormous overhead in large salaries to take care of. You can get down to rock bottom. Now is the time that many great concerns of the future will make their start. Why not you? GOVERNMENT? Get into the government of your city, state or the nation, with the idea, not of being a demagogue, but a statesman. Learn the facts about our government, find out what it will take to make it a good government and devote your life to that job. These are only a few suggestions. But the main thing is?do something. A life spent in idleness the next few years will in all probability never amount to anything. Do something. R. G. BELL. Great Change Noticed Here South Carolina school conditions arc far different from what they were a hundred years ago, a University of South Carolina professor lately pointed out. The teacher of the old field school at Indiantown, Williamsburg county, for instance, taught for 12 months, getting off only a few days at Christmas and on the Fourth of July. School started early in the morning and the pupils barely got home by sundown. The school had only one window. The boys pupils sat on hard high-pitched benches, studied Webster's Blue Hack Speller, the multiplication table, Bike's Arithmetic, Murray's Grammar, and a little geography. The pupils brought their cold dinner which consisted of fried potatoes, cold rice, and mush cornbread. "There was much choking and pounding of backs to unchokc," according to a chronicler. "The odors of fried food were left on the well bucket, ahd often a film of grease floated 011 the water." Discipline in the schools was kept up by the free use of stout hickory switches. The principal of an Edgefield school often inflicted 150 lashes, frequently ruining a pair of heavy winter pantaloons at a single whipping. U. 8. O. Many Students Take Part In Y Programs One hundred and seventy-five students at the University of South Carolina have at one time or another during their connection with the University Y. M. C.
