From childhood, almost, we ha been entertained with the story these brave denizens of the undc world, whose life is such a menace their fellow thugs that every time th< step out of their armored cars tin take their lives in their hands. B we of the school of journalism, at a few braver representatives of tl older generation also deserve a mot cum of fame. For do we not brave face Death's sullen stare every tin we step into this our Extension building We must admit that we rather e joy the thrill of bidding adieu to o parents every morning with the rea zation that if a strong wind blov we may never see them again, adds a certain zest to life. But the are times when even us brave new hounds would like a little rest fro the daily round of worry. We like reflect as well as anyone. But we a you, can anyone reflect when he kno\ that the building in which he is pc forming his spot of thinking is apt fall apart at any moment, burying hi beneath the debris, for some C. W. . workman in 1954 to unearth? But don't suggest that we all c operate, grab a handful of this buil ing, and heave ho my lads. Of cour it would come apart, that goes wit out saying. But we don't want it t We love it. But we would love even more if it were in a glass cat or tucked away in someone's muscui just so we didn't have to have class in it. Anyone will admit that vocab lary building, for instance, is b; enough in itself, but add the consta threat of another sword of Damock . and you have our reaction. Still the Extension building shou not be torn down. Anything that h seen as much of student life, and c; still take it, and this monumei should be preserved.

Students Use ( 7000 Words ] = Babcock Makes Survey H - Four Students Classed As Average Pi Were Used As "Test Tubes" For Experiment About seven thousand words repre_ scnts the vocabulary of the average tia student, according to experiments re- tin r cently conducted by Dr. Havilah Bab- no r cock, professor of English. r Four students, considered by the ini professor and class to be average, cic P were chosen to act as "test tubes" for be - the experiment. Each was to use a M dictionary in determining as nearly as ' ?, possible the numbers of words he ac- wt ? tually uses in daily conversation or M; 11 has used at some time during his life. ch - Words used only in writing or recog- L,a nized in reading but not spoken were excluded from the count, but collo- j quialisms, contractions, scientific terms, yj slang, or any coinage used by the stus dent were regarded as legitimate addi- ^ tions to his "speaking acquaintances." tj Dr. Babcock stressed the condition tot _ of always giving the dictionary the Ai benefit of the doubt when there was \f; any uncertainty as to whether the Gc word had been spoken, so that the re- pu suits include purely words which the an, students use continually and with whose meanings they are perfectly familiar. The four individual counts reported JJ s by the students were 0,079; 7,700; ^ 9,420; and 0,002 words. Another group of three students . chosen to do similar work on a "recog- j - nition" vocabulary reported an average - of 304 words. Individual counts in wI1 - this test were 407, 352 and 340 Words. !

Here's a health to our Alma Mater U. S. C. Dr. Everett Pk Last Tw "1 wo Generations of American ife" were picturized vividly by Dr. Walter G. Everett, Emeritus profes>r of philosophy at Brown Univerty, when he spoke Wednesday night Drayton Hall. Having drawn a comparison bcvecn life in New England a generaon ago, and today, Dr. Everett said: "We arc perpetuating an anachronm in American political and indusial life. It is like mating a buxom aid of twenty to a doddering nonojnnarian." Our youthful and changg industrial system and our outdated >cial and political organization sysm are incompatible. He continued; "We have done far better in our afTic control, than in control of our >cial and economic institution." Our ethical thinking has lagged far ;hind in the swift pace of events. It is failed to embrace the business retions which have grown up between dividuals who have never seen each her. He explained, our old code of lorrection Is Made In Univ.

This should have ad: "The University library is the dest college library in the United tates to be housed in a separate and stinct building." II. 8.

In the huge structure of American capitalism, the ethics of financial obligations have naturally become clouded, or entirely obscure. "Ultimately, it is a moral question," he insisted in his calm quiet manner. In a money economy, even moral and spiritual life are dependent on bodily goods. "Morality must develop social technics to insure its reality to life. The .?s compulsion of life will keep us moving; a static civilization is impossible. "We need a new mind, and a new heart, illuminated by disinterested intelligence, justice and love. Otherwise we will be left with the old blindness unhealed. "We shall be in danger of losjng that part of our national heritage which we have most desired to preserve", he concluded. Dr. Everett was introduced by Dr. J. M. Morse, professor of psychology of the University. No "Jointed Snakes" Declares Crawford "A 'jointed snake' is not a snake" says John A Crawford, director of physical education at University of South Carolina and an authority on snakes. "That 'snake' was a lizard," declared Mr. Crawford in response to an article in the Bamberg Herald which was written about a "jointed snake" which broke into four pieces when hit with a stick. People believe that the snake could assemble its parts the article goes on to say. "The truth is that the lizard has a long brittle tail that is replaced quickly when broken off. Many lizards of this type arc present in this section of the country," he explained. I^^^Omi'sTORES if!
