University of South Carolina Libraries
Satei BY MARY BEI Examinations have again raised their ugly heads and, casting their shadow be fore them, clamped a damper on all of Carolina's life social-therefore also on this, the last of the Satellites. With term papers, make-up quizzes, and general cramming on every side, the library has become the favorite hang-out for satels and non-satels alike. The place resembles the Metro after a dance. If the above mentioned exams aren't worrying you (this is based on the assumption that somebody studied every single subject right along and that what professors claim about regular studying is true) we suggest that you drop around to the first separate college library building in the United States and watch the playboys, and the playgirls, at work. You'll run into some surprises. That group in front of the building, who just stepped out to catch a smoke, constitutes the only social gathering that we know of. In Retrospect Of course, since The Gamecock hasn't made an appearance in quite some time, a few things have happened in the not too distant pass. There was that big shindig the brothers of Sigma Alpha Ep silons pulled in the gym on the Friday before Christmas holidays. So big. We went fairly early and didn't get any fur ther in than the end zone of the basket ball court. Everyone had a fine time see ing all the people that were here from different schools-all in holiday mood. Students who spent the Yuletide in Co lumbia had no reason to regret it either, as Sophie Ellison and Lucy Lewis staged a very original barn dance in the Colum bia hotel that has made local entertaining history and even got national mention. Since Carolina reopened the student body has been divided into two distinct classes: those who did attend the barn dance, and those who didn't attend the barn dance. The former have been very, very Lad about rubbing it in-just to see the non barners moan the fates that kept them from this swellest of danccs. Mass Movement Some 1400 students have just returned to the University of South Carolina after spending a fortnight with their parents or somebody in their respective home towns or elsewhere. Definite, eh? Mary Perry Garvin, Marion Coleman, and Sara Perkins just to be different went to Flor ida. Les Dancers Frances Hart, of the Delta Delta Delta clan, was elected to the presidency of l)amas Tuesday afternoon. So the Hart will be a leading figure in the social whirl (we'll bite, what whirl?) this spring. )amas, you'll remember, is scheduled for one more big ball long about Easter. Other officers who were elected: Marion Coleman, vice-president ; Ray Overton, secretary; Beverley G;ainecs Bates, treas urer, and Margery Collins, junior leader. Th'Iey're still using that rotation of of lieers in that organization. The A. 1). Pi's reported unprepared so next session they'll make their nomination for senior leader, to b)e approved or rejected b)y the clumb.

In Florence The beginnitig of a movement which hould meet with much approval was nade in Florence Christmas when stu lents and alumni of the University gave t Carolina dance at the Florence country :lub with Alumni chaperoning, sponsors who got bracelets, music by Vincent Eisermann, special no-breaks and a grand narch. The latter was lead by John Hus ;y, president of the club. This could, if inybody cares enough, lead to the estab lishment of more clubs and thus Caro lina dances all over the State for many Christmases to come. The affair was described as a "Caro lina Dance of Brilliant Beauty." Around Last week their was still a dance or so eft in the old school. Saturday night The S. A.

Security Act Is Favored By Local Professor Professor Wienefeld and Wheeler Speak Favorably Of Act "I don't think the exceptions should be made in the social security act of agricul tural labor, domestic service in private homes, government and state employees and service performed by sailors docu mented under the laws of the United States." announced R. H. Wienefeld to day. Many states do not have old-age cor pensation acts and under this act, they will still remain as dependents, profes sor Wienefeld pointed out. "The act is based on a firm principle, however and with a few amendments, should become- a piece of popular legis lation in our country," the speaker stated. The act provides aid for the needy and dependent and protection against the haz ards of unemployment and old age. Un decr the act, unemployment compensation, old-age assistance and benefits, security for children, aid to the blind, extension of public-health services, vocational re habilitation are listed. "I think that the social security act is a timely act and although no one knows about the future effects, I believe that it will be a success," Mary P. Wheeler, as sociate professor of social work at the University said. "The rise of prices and a betterment of our living conditions will be direct re suIts of the security act," stated Leila G. Johnson, professor of social work also of the University. Professor Wienefeld pointed out that this act was nothing new and that Eng land who had had it for 30 years did not adopt it until long after Germany had put this principle into effect. These two countries have met with success in this measure. Literary Group Has_History Deriving its name from the latin word "Clarius" meaning god of, and "Sophos" meaning wise el equence, the Clariosophic Literary society at the University of South Carolina was established on Feb. 21, 1806. A literary society known as the Philo mathic was established soon after the opening of South Carolina college in 1805 but a year later was divided into two groups, the Euphradian and Clariosophic societies. A joint meeting was held by these two societies every seven weeks. A badge was chosen by the Clario sophianis which was composed of a blue ribbon worn on the lower arm. The present meeting place on the third floor of Legare college was dledicatedl on Feb. 10, 1849 and Professor Robert Henry gave the first address. --. S. 0.
