Orange Frame 1

Building: Rises Rapidly
Frame-work for War Memorial ^
Building on University Campus
Has Been Completed
" I
An orange framed structure rose
approximately 70 feet in the air, '
against a background of smoky blUe.
"A wonderful structure, a wonderful
structure!" said the esthete
psychically moved by the grandeur
the orange spectacle possessed even
in its littleness.
But to the man fitting the big
beam 5'x35', sixty feet up in the air,
it was just another building.
The War Memorial building adorning
the right corner of the University
campus had just had its frame
completed. From a height of sixty
feet or more, a short, wiry worker
scooted down a slim girder and was
on the ground in a few seconds. He
had just assisted in putting up the
last 5'x35\
"Where're you from," he was asked.
"Oh, me, I'm from Ohio."
"Where's the steel from?"
"I guess it's from Pennsylvania,
but it's fabricated in Greensboro."
"Greensboro, N. C.?"
"Yeah."
Turning to a companion student,
the question was asked:
"A clear instance of twentieth century
technique in precision and accuracy
? "
"Huh?" asked the worker.
"Fits close as hell, doesn't it?" the
question was repeated.
"Yeah, that last one wuz just a
hair-width off."
.Tust then a steam whistle blew.
"All right, boys, let's get it," shouted
a voice.
And we concluded it was time for
us to get it, too?that is lunch.

of Freshmen in English Usage
Denotes Improvement.
The results of the Freshmen English
tests showed an average increase
i)f 17 points over those administered
in September, according to Prof. W.
C. McColl, of the Personal Bureau.
These tests were to determine the
exact growth of the Freshman class
in English usage, spelling and vocabulary.
The objective tests in algebra given
to Freshmen as a part of the final
examinations also showed that the
group as a whole have achieved an
average comparable to those Freshmen
in other similar institutions wnu
have had the same amount of training
in algebra.
The students standing the examinations
in chemistry also made good
scores.
The departments mentioned aboxe
along with others of the University
are giving tests in co-operation with
the American Council on Education
for experimental purposes. Other institutions
are administering tests experimentally
in order to obtain data
necessary to forward the batterment
of objective tests for use in colleges
and universities.

Lazy Students
At 4.22 all was quiet in the University
library.
At 4:23 screaming fire trucks careened
down Sumter street.
At 4:24 all was not quiet in the
University library.
Startled students rushed to the
windows. Kathrine Taylor tripped
to a peek-hole. One of the Amato
boys cut somersaults in a vain effort
to grab an already occupied vantage
point. Gilbert Colina, Cuba's gift to
Carolina, dashed into the museum
room. Paul Wateroff, in characteristic
exasperating style, blinked, fingered
his mop of stiff, straight hair,
and dozed off again.
At 4:25 Columbia's fire brigads had
passed on to another false alarm.
At 4:25 silence reigned again.
At 4:20 you couldn't have heard a
battleship drop because of the heavy
snoring.
Carolina's students were studying

149th anniversary meeting of the a

ton, last Saturday night. q
Dr. Baker stressed the value of t<
an enlightened leadership in group
welfare, citing Charleston, his native h
city, as an excellent example of this ?
theory in practice.
He compared ancient Carthage and n
Athens, showing how the former was
great in industry and commerce, but ~
left nothing to posterity, and how the a
latter developed a state led by worthy A
and intelligent men. This character- o
istic of Athens, he said, is still re- A
garded as antiquity's greatest con- V
tribution to our present culture. V
Drawing a parallel between Athens [
and Charleston, Dr. Baker said that
South Carolina's seaport town has =
always been the originating point o> 1
political and cultural ideals of the ?
south. |

Only one out of every 105 murder- I

penalty, according to reseach recent- |
ly completed by the students of the |
school of social work at the Universi- |
ty of South Carolina.
From January 1, 1924, to July 1, 1
1933, a total of 2,335 homicides were =
committed in South Carolina, but only =
35 men died in the electric chair. Thus i
South Carolina murderers seem to |
have an exceptionally good chance 1
of escaping the "hot seat."
The reseach also stated that the |
annual cost of maintaining the cir- ?
cuit court, prisons and the county ?
chaingangs, $1,500,000, was just |
$192, greater than the cost of sup- 1
porting all institutions of higher f
learning in the state.
