^ Students Stare
<' At High Tower
j._ Appearing as if from nowhere, Caro
111 hna students one day last week looket
^ with awe upon the rapid constructioi
Co ?f a high, triangular steel observatioi
g tower upon the campus adjacent t<
,T> Davis college. And their surprise wai
even greater when it was quickly dis
mantled and hauled away early the fol
lowing morning. It had come and gon<
like a thief in the night, and as th<
Arabs silently folded their tents anc
fled in the night, so was this loftj
structure folded away in a truck anc
removed from sight.
The steel tower was the work of th<
United States Geodetic and Coasta
Survey, and was for the purpose o
surveying off a triangular in am
around the city of Columbia. The ac
tual survey was made during the nigh
by means of signal lights, and a con
erete marker placed at the base.
The structure, well over a hundrec
feet in height, was put up in aboui
three hours and as rapidly taken down
to the great admiration and curiositj
of groups of students who formed
an appreciative audience for the surveyors.

Mr. L. E. Brookshire of Grecnvilli
Secretary of the American Fcderatio
of Labor in South Carolina spoke t
the sociology class Thursday morninj
1 he object of the American Federa
tion of Labor is to improve the rclr
" tions between capital and labor, an
keep the people informed about th
attitude of labor. "Labor," Mr. Brool
shire declared, "docs not want to cor
tr?l the government of industry; labc
wants representation in industry; pci
mission to help with plans, and a
opportunity to look out for the ir
tercsts of the employees."
Due to the work of this organizr
tion, the average life of the employe
has more than doubled. The soci;
' life of the people has had considcrabl
' attention; mcdical attention is give
free of chargc, and sympathy betwee
employer and employee has developc
amazingly," the speaker declared.

fact. For when he was given a bath,
about a year and a half ago, he be- f
came as pure white as the driven t

? But that's beside the point. We

c At the basket-ball games Rex t

"Leave me out," he said, "Rex is

iceined unusually intelligent so we

"Tell all."
So he gave us the life history of

pent three weeks in a very nice hospial.

He has had innumerable encounters
vith irate neighbors. One darj< night

Ideas Cause
Civil Turmoil
According To Kilpatrick
French Professor Declares Revo- \
lutions Are Not Caused By
Suffering- Alone !
According to Dr. Emmet Kilpatrick,
Associate Professor of romance languages,
revolutions are the result of ,
ideas, not of suffering. People can and ,
will bear suffering with 110 resistance
but when once the idea of a revolution
spreads among a people there |
is certainty that a revolution will re- ]
suit. 3
"The American Revolution was not
the result of taxation but the result t
of the very idea that taxation was 1
tyranny," the speaker declared. He 1
described the case of the French and a
Russian revolutions. The French peasants
were in excellent condition un- t
der Louis XIV but there were, active 2
and thinking minds among the people. <
The Russian peasants suffered but '
they were ignorant. They became in
spired with the idea of freedom, of (
having things, of doing things. That <
both resulted in revolution was not 1
because of suppression but because of s
propaganda, he said.
"Suffering, of course," Dr. Kilpat- a
rick concluded, will provide ground for t
