Sumwalt Re-appointed Mem ber Of Committee On Survey ing And Mapping U. S. Prof. R. L. Sunmwalt has recently been reappointed a member of the committee on Surveying and Mapping of the American Engineering Council. Member ship on this committee is an exceptional honor as there are only live members serving on it each year. The function of this committee is to promote a program for the completion of surveying and mapping the United States as soona as possible. Hlarold A. Ickes, secretary of the In terior, has recently submitted a recom mendation to Congress for completion of this surveying and mapping the total area of the United States during the unext twenty years at an annual cost of $5, 000,000 and a total cost of $100,000,000. According to Ickes' plan, the U. S. Coast andl Geodetic Survey wvould ex pend $1,000,000 of this amount for con trol surveys, and the U. S. Geological Survey would use the remaining $4,000, 000 for topographic surveys including aerial photography and the necessary horizontal and vertical control in connec tion with it, and the cost of reproducing and printing the maps. The committee has been in close touch with Secretary Ickes and is backing him in the plan. If it goes through, it will meani an expend(iture of nearly $1,500,000 for the state of South Carolina over a period of ten years, and would furnish employment to thousands of engmneers mo the United States and many in South Carolina, Prof. Sumwalt pointed out.

Ida has been particularly active in the Y, having served as president, secretary, and treasurer of the Y, and vice-president of the freshman Y. Her friends all emphasize the fact that she has one unusual quality. It is: not saying anything about anybody unless she can say something good. When it's raining, Ida loves to read. Before she goes to bed, she always eats. For snacks while reading she champions cherry pie, tomato juice, and bananas (please note: we do not recommend these delicacies together). She has violent dis likes, too, such as purple neckties and brown ink. Someday she is going to take a trip to Europe. She and a girl friend of hers have been planning for years that which ever of them gets rich first will take the other to Europe as her personal maid. At present, however, Ida admits she has never been farther from home than Washington, D. C. As regards theories and ideas, she ad vocates more joint meetings of literary societies, and immediate action of Caro lina students and alumnae to discredit untrue and damaging rumors conderning the University. Ida urges support of the coming Peace Demonstration at Carolina. Swvimming is her favorite sport, with tcnnis as a close second. A junior in the school of arts and science, she likes psy chology better than any other course. When she graduates, Ida plans to do Christian work. While at college her chief interest is in 'the flible Club~. Besides the offices already mentioned, Ida has been chairman of general pro grams in the Y cabinet; critic, secretary, president, and chaplain of the Hypatian literary society; president of the Poluma thean society; and secretary of the co-ed debating council. -. . C. Efforts are being made to have excuses granted for absences from classes at that hour. Invitations to speak will be issued to President J. Rion McKissick, Dr. Josiah Morse, Dr. Jackson, and the Rev. J. A. Thomas of Charleston, according to Gladys Gaskin, member of the organi zation. -U..s. 0. Recent revelations show that a dozen University of Alabama students be came six sets of man and wife during the Christmas vacation. When a man asks for criticism, he is often seeking praise. Have Physical Rechecks Made All seniors who have applied for diplomas are urged to come to the infirmary within the next week be tween the hours of 10:30 and 11:30 a. m1. for physical rechecks, Dr. N.

Reading from left to Ida Morris, Secretary; Mary But teaurer. rsona lities GARETY Frank Jordan A man of simple tastes and few aver sions is the editor of The Garnet and Black, Frank Jordan. Although he con fesses to a few superstitions, this junior in pre-law school is a practical, level headed sort of person with few violent likes or dislikes. However, cats, foreign languages, nd carrots are particularly irritating to him. Politics (by his own admission) has now replaced stamp-collection as his hob by. As a pdstime he likes playing cards (never mind what kind, he says), and it is with card-playing that most of his superstitions are connected. Though not a believer in lucky days, Frank firmly believes his most outstand ingly unlucky day was the day he was elected editor of the annual. This re mark from the editor is rather unex pected in view of his unusual ability in the tedious work of editing an annual. Being fond of traveling and debating, Frank has several long debating trips to his credit. They have included visits to New York, Chicago, Miami, and New Orleans. Yet considering all the places he has visited he prefers Columbia as a home-town to any other city. Like the "ole maestro" Ben Bernie, he experiences a delightful thrill at the sight of Myrna Loy's sophisticated loveliness. And like millions of other staunch fans, weg ALL .COLUMBIA STATIONS THE FIRST PRODUC1 votes Robert Montgomery No. 1 lead ing man. If he had the time, for a pet, it would be a dog, for Frank is partial to them. He likes reading, too, having just di gested in its entirety that great prose epic known as "Gone with the Wind." As for sports, he prefers tennis. Notwithstanding the fact that he has no weakness for soft drinks and never touches candy, Frank enjoys that all round favorite dessert, strawberry short cake.
