The Uni versity Is Headed For The Top If drastic changes are conducive to progress, the University of South Carolina should be lounging r r at the top in the near future. *uth Beginning the first of next July, Carolina's ad ministrative affairs will be under the very cap able hands of Dr. J. Rion McKissick, dean of the School of Journalism. It is the opinion of the students of the Univer sity that though the trustees had debated the se lection until this time next year, they would not have found a mau better equipped to fill the po sition. Colonel McKissick, as he is familiarly known, is a man of engaging personality and rare intellect. No one can honestly say that they ever itor spent a dll minute in his company. You only ger have to know him-and he is easy to meet-to re itor Itor alize that he is the man for the job. tor Dr. Leonard T. Baker, University president, will iger assume his office as dean of the faculty at the be ate ginning of the fiscal year. IIe will be an inval 'g ung liable aid to the new president in directing Uni - versity routine. His loyal years as head of the john, institution leave Iil fully equipped to advise Dean ames McKissick in unforeseen detilils of the office. The students are pleased to know that he -has not sev ered his connections with the institution, but has merely chosen to retire to a less active position. rs Selectors of a successor to Dr. R. K. Foster have shown rare juldgmhent in naming William II. IIarth. This position is one that demands a man are of uilimited energy, a slharp business mind, toler 011s alt llnderstanlding. and the qialities of a good itll nixer. No manl call realize the nerve-wracking the requirem ents of the job until he has tried it. You not have to be able to submerge yourself uinder an s a avalanche of duties and ignore the critical insin inl nations of an idle public. There is no fear on the ted part of the University of South Carolinians as to y)'O the ability of William i. IHarth to discharge the c les duties of the office. The presence of a long string red of ele't rI ie lihts 1lfore tlh' fit'1l 1oulse lit a basket pe is hall game the other night is noticeable evidence Fter that he has already gone to work.

Look, Girls If you're worried about you: weight, as compared with the av erage for your height, forget it consider your width. That's the advice of Dr. Helen Brenton Pry or, assjstant women's medical ex aminer at Stanford University who has worked out "width weight" tables based on five year's study and tabulations of some 10,000 students. Instead of on< normal weight as given on heigh tables, her scales give seven av erages based on width as well as height. Thus, if a girl is 18 anc is 5' 4" tall, she might normally weigh as little as 107 pounds if hei bi-iliac diameter-the measuremen at the crest of the hip bones-is 9.6 inches, or as much as 13: pounds if she measures 12.2 inches Chemistry of the Fairer Sex Symbol-WO.

Even these lovely pictures do not do full justice to them and gives none of the famous Botanical Garden of Mel bourne, one of the loveliest and finest Botanical Gardens of the world. Many new books arrived during the Christmas holidays which are of en during interest and value, like the great "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by the world f a:ot;s C!ei "Lm of Arabia," Mark Twain's "Note books" prepared by his famous bi ographer Albert Bigelow Paine with full comments, and the best novel Sinclair Lewis has yet written, "It Can't Happen Here," on political problems of today and tomorrow. But they are not quite ready for the shelves though they are being cata logued as quickly as possible, and they will be reviewed as soon as thev are accessible to the library readers. Some few have already been catalogued that are most delightful to read or to look into for research and these shall be mentioned here now. For one's individual research taste or class research work no better book could be had of the kind than the latest edition of "The Oxford Con panion to English Literature," com piled and edited by Sir Paul Harvey and1 p _ublished by the Oxford Claren don P'rees. It is a large volume and contains in its 850 pages ancient andl modernc F.nglish authors listed alpha blet ically andl sonme Americani authors withi brief sketches of p)lot and char acters of their works, wvhich means a lot with only fifty generations of F.nglish authors included!

First of these, because we have the originals in the Museum, are the re productions of the most famous Audu bon prints of the "\Vild Turkey," Amer ican Ptarmigan, (pure white), the Snowy Owl, and Purple Heron, and other magnificently colored pictures of the Audubon birds in the November number of Country Life. These most perfectly illustrate the very fine article by 'Margaret McKinlay who says of the full-page-size exquisitely colored repro duction of Audubon's Wild Turkey that the original print is "More coveted by far than any other picture by Audubon." South Carolin's Archibald Rutledge has a most amusing article on "Nature's Medicine Cabinet" in the November num ber of The American Magazine with colored pictures, one especially funny and pathetic, of the wild turkey mother teaching her youngsters "to eat bitter sweet spicebush leaves to keep them from catching cold." .The National Geographic Magazitic for December, while not celebrating Christmnas except by illustrated articles on "W\here Bible Characters Live Again" by Anton Lang wvith pictures of the home .sof TJhe Passion Play has immediately timely articles on "The Rock of Aden" -in the Red Sea, fully illustrated, and a msplendlid series of natural colored pictures orandl a very accurate and interesting arti ce by WN. -Robert Moore, on the Capital Cities of Australia, which by the wvay constitute much more than half the pop ulat ion, the whole continental island hav ing no more people than Greater Newv rYork City.
