In Gamecock Of fice For Ten Cents. 200 Copies Printed Dedicated to the rejuvenation of the creative impulse among students, The Carolina Notebook will make its first appearance on the campus Saturday mornirg.

Commenting on the magazine, they say: "We believe tfcat there are enough students on the campus who appreciate the value of such a magazine to support the effort that we have made." The magazine consist of 28 pages, and was printed by mimeograph, all of the mechanical work being done by the editorial staff. "We realized that at best the appeal of such a magazine would be limited and therefore we printed only '200 copies, if the demand warrants it, this number may be increased in future issues," the editors declared. The publication will be offered for sale Saturday in the office of The Gamccock and perhaps may also be available between the hours before Davis College. The price will be ten cents. "We have brought out the first issue of The Carolina Notebook simply as an experiment, based on the honest belief that the University needs and will support such a medium of literary expression. If we are right in this belief, the magazine will continue to appear at monthly intervals, striving at all times to represent the student body in itself assumed position," said the editors. 0 O. I. o. Chicago Works Unique System The University of Chicago has an unique educational system, according to W. L. Williams, associate professor of mathematics, who spent the past summer there completing three years of graduate work. Under the university's new plan, credits, grades, majors, and minors arc of no significance. A person obtains a degree from the University by means of a comprehensive examination, demonstrating that he knows his field and not by taking a number of prescribed courses or having a certain number ol credits. "This is an excellent plan," says Mr Williams, "because many students arc turned out of universities and colleges who are little above morons just because they've taken certain courses and have the credits. This could hardly happen at the University oi Chicago. Another advantage of this plan is that a bright student may receive a degree in less than four years, He does not have to wait on the other students, because time element does not enter into this plan." Besides having a new plan, the University of Chicago is one of the leading institutions in physical science, and has a department of mathematics unexcelled by any in the country. It? faculty is made up of men of world renown. Its recently completed mathematics building, which cost the University one million dollars, houses a mathematics library of over fifteen thousand volumes, in addition to having moderr classrooms, private study rooms for graduate students, and a large recreation hall.

Doctor Wauchope de* clared. * "To justify its very existence a university must be a nursery of clear, ^ forceful, or artistic thinking. A nonthinking student is a contradiction in terms. The college as a whole?its curricula, its literary societies and other forums, its honor societies, and its v publications?is his training school for e self-expression as a thinker. "We have already the best news- * paper published weekly on any campus " and a light humorous monthly which affords an outlet for certain forms of a writing. Our great lack has been an organ for purely literary matter such cj as the essay, the editorial, poetry, ri speeches, sketches, plays and stories.

A group of wood block prints, deal- ' ing with landscape and architecture, is | on exhibition at Drayton hall of the ] University of South Carolina. They < belong to Donald F. Witherstine of l Provincetown, Mass. < The greater number of prints have scenes laid in Brittany and France. J Some are scenes from Provincetown t and Cape Cod. , Mr. Witherstine is no novice in his '< chosen medium. He handles his sub- 1 ject with a free and bold technique. 1 His use of black, with slight touches of 4he white paper showing through ? as relief is exceedingly effective. 1 ^ -Some of his work is quite outstand- ^ ing though all of it docs not measure up to the same standard. A very good ( piece is a tree study entitled,. "Early ' Spring, Cape Cod," which conveys a * startling effect of sunlight glow, considering the fact that the medium is black-and-white. Mr. Witherstine's sharp, brief handling of figures shows to good advantage in several scenes laid in Morocco and France. The exhibition is exceedingly worth while and is of especial interest to the art students, who will be interested in Mr. Witherstine's handling of surfaces and shadows. The prints have a scope and breadth of feeling uncommon among their kind. XT. I. O. "Julius Caesar" Makes Big Hit During the past few days excellent performances of "Julius Caesar" have 1 been given at the Town Theater under the able and skilful direction of Belford Forrest. Performances will be given tonight and Saturday afternoon. The difficult role of Mark Antony . was played magnificently by Coleman Karesh who so brilliantly did the part of "Hamlet" last year. The other ( three principals and a fourth character, | who had but a brief part also distinguished themselves. Brutus, played by Richard Allen; Cassius, played by Robert Lee Beveridge; and Caesar, played by Wilson G. Hunter, gave worthy performances throughout. In addition to the main roles, those who are taking part in the play arc Dave Cohn, Turner Smith, Walter Taylor, Mark Sullivan, Pinckney ' Walker, A. P. Bruner, Carlile Courtcnay, Jr., J. B.

He and Calhoun were both whigs. Soon afterward, Calhoun changed to the Democratic party, carrying practically the whole state with him. But Waddy Thompson refused to make the change. Calhoun was highly incensed, and planned revenge-against Thompson in the coming congressional election of ,|i 1838. Calhoun persuaded a friend of his to run against Thompson*, aAd Cal- $$ houn made campaign speeches for his candidate. n Thompson and Calhoun engaged in a scries of joint debates. All the fl odds were apparently??n Calhoun's side. He "held the State of South Carolina in the hollow of his hand." The only two papers in upper South Carolina were Calhoun organs. He even made the opening and the closing speech at each of the debates. In spite of alj this, Thompson's personality and his inexhaustible fund of humor appealed more to the voters than Calhoun's logic, with the result ? that Thompson" was re-elected by a very large majority." For two years, 1842-44, he was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico. He died in 18G8 in Florida, where he was living at the time. % MtJsCLIN IN ON "MUSCLIN IN" Mary Lewis says that before long everybody on the campus will be eating at the rfmnTirmfiTyHFTHiwuwsnHrBRws Mary Lewis, Hostess ??????
