Mr. Gardner has recently entere< the moving picture industry in compe tition with Hollywood, and is busily engaged in the shooting of "A Day At Carolina," full-length moving pic ture story of the daily life of a Uni versity student. This original under taking is an attempt, on the part o Mr. Gardner, to reproduce in movin sequence some small measure of th< color, charm, and beauty, unique t< our University and its campus. Duncan Is "Actor" The leading man of Gardner Fea tures, a new "Robert Taylor" type, i Sidney Duncan, popular orator, de bater, and political figure. Duncan pre law junior, will be seen in many inti mate scenes which will delight th hearts of all our blushing co-eds ani turn our campus "Lotharios" gree, with jealousy. "A Day At Carolina" is to be a run ning account of a boy's day from thI insistent alarm clock at two minute to eight in the morning until the las shoe is untied at some wee, smal hour the next morning.

New York, N. Y.-(ACP)-If the large numbers of people had higher purchasing power, they could increase their life span by at least seven years. That is what Dlr. Henry C. Sherman Mitchell, Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University, told the Acad t emy of Medicine. 1 They would be able to take full ad vantage of new knowlcdgc in the field of nutrition, he said-advantage that could aid them in warding off disease as well as senility. 1 "Undoubtedly the great majority of all people will bc benefited, the general level of the public health will be raised, 1 and the averages of our vital statistics - improved at many points by the simple taking of a larger proportion of the y needed nutritional calories in the form e of the protective foods. - "Naturally, we also hope that a - larger proportion of people will soon I have ampler purchasing power. Ve - realize that right relations between purchasing power andl the general level of prices is essential to the ability of any community to get the full benefit of any newv knowledge of nutrition," lie exp)lainedl. "For it is now clear to any one wvho will study the evidence that nutrition has greater constructive potentiality than science has foreseen, andl that even in the everydlay choice of food we are dlealing with values which are above price for the health and effi ciency, (duration and (dignity of human life." --U.

Woods, Music go Two Bits THE GA] Morse Talks About South On School Of The Air Dr. Morse Says The Problem Of The South Is Environment And Not Heredity . The backwardness of the South as compared with other sections of the country, is a problem of environment, not of heredity, for the heredity of the South is as good as the best in the land, said *Dr. Josiah Morse, profes sor of psychology here, in a recent talk over WIS. "The popular assumption is that heredity and environment are two sep arate and distinct things, but the truth is that they are the same thing, one 1 cannot exist without the other. For the exceptional persons, geniuses at one end of the scale and idiots at the other, heredity is the important fac tor. The worst environment cannot hold a genius down permanently and the best environment cannot uplift an idiot, but for the common variety of folks environment is the more vital factor." Environment Great Factor Doctor Morse cited three from a series of 19 cases of identical twins that is, twins having absolutely the same heredity. The twins had been separated early in life, before environ ment had any effect, and the homes into which they were adopted were of markedly different social and eco nomic levels. In every case the later lives and the intelligence levels of the twins were far different, those having better environments being consistently higher. "What a man can do," Doctor Morse said, "is determined by his heredity; what he will do, by his environment." Applying his evidence to South Car olina, the speaker said, "No one can begin to estimate how different the history of our State would have been had we been able and determined dur ing the past half century to give our children the same educational advan tages." As I See Carolina By Mary Margartt Phillips (This article was contributed by a ljelton High School senior who partici paled in contests on the campus this u:cek.) Among all the colleges I have visited none has exhibited a better spirit than that which exists among Carolina stu dents. During all the time I have been here I have seen no evidence of any enmity on the part of one student to wardl another. A conmnendabe trait was the friendly interest that every student took in the high school boys, and girls wvho were visitors on the campus. They were un sel fish in their attitude towards us. They were unfailing in kindness and courtesy in aiding us in every way pos sible. They spent a good deal of their time showing us around the campus, and teaching us the secrets of successful col lege life. The genial atmosphere created 'a very favorable impression. As for the campus itself, I consider it one of the most beautiful in the State. One of the best things about it is its individuality.. It is totally different from any other college in that everything on the campus bears a certain significance. On a campus such as this, wvith a stu (lent body as hospitable and cordial as that of Carolina, visitors wvill be forced to enjoy themselves-and we certainly Dr. D. W. Daniel Chapel Speaker Dr. D. \V. Daniel, head of the En glish department, Clemson College, and one of the foremost speakers of the State, addressed the third volun tary chapel exercises Wednesday nmornng. Dr. Daniel is well knowvn through out the State. Some evidence of this was seen during the course of the last chapel exercises. When the name of Dr. Daniel was announced as the next speaker a round of applause was given by those students present. The speeches of Dr. Daniel are especially humorous and amply filled with witty remarks. Voluntary chapel is a success at the University if attendance at its first two sessions are of significance. At both meetings all seats were taken and a number of students crowded into the back aisles where only standing room was available GOOOK i Debate Held [ By Hypatians No Decision Reached Query Is Resolved That Men Should Keep House Once A Week Meeting in joint session, the Hypa ian Literary society and the literary society of the Columbia Bible college lebated the question "Resolved: That nen should keep house once a week." fargaret Wertz and Santa Barlowe apheld the affirmative for the Bible ollege, and Barbara Joyner and Alice Eiuiet debated the negative for the FIypatians.

Barl -v. s. o-- Colu Observatory = Is Opened E'or Public Observation Melton Memorial Observatory Is Open To Public On Monday And Wednesday Night By Frank Brown, Jr. The room was dark. On the wall a dull red light only ;erved to emphasize the surrounding )lackness. From somewhere out of the shadows came the measured beat f a pendulum. Outside could be heard the light frivolity of campus life. In side, a dim giant was moving silently, i giant of glass and steel, a creature of nan's ingenuity. Now the vague shape was motionless, its huge manmade eye peering into the universe. The tele scope was trained on an insignificant Fleck of starlight, a fuzzy point of light, barely visible to the naked eye. . Yet the observer who stepped to the eyepece of the instrument to see this I unpretentious object, did not draw - back for some moments. For this was no ordinary start This hazy spot was the great Orion nebulal This tiny speck was a gaseous giant, of tremen dous proportions, dwarfing ous+ earth, our sun, our entire Solar System into utter insignificance. For an hour, from eight until nine, on Monday and Wednesday nights, the Melton Memorial Observatory of the University of South Carolina is opened to the public. The sixteen inch telescope, one of the largest in this part of the country, will unfold to the curious visitor many startling and un expected sights in the Universe. Ne bulae, double and multiple stars, star clusters, planets such as Mars and Jupiter, andl our comparative neigh bor, the moon-all these are visible during the coming month. What Is This Nebula? But it is one thing to be told that you are looking at the Great Orion Nebula. It is quite a different matter to know just what this nebula is. Just what are you looking at when the tele scope is swvung low over the Western Horizon towvard that distant cloud mass? To begin with, the nebula is an ex tremely large and a very tenuous cloud of gas. Its diameter has been vari ously estimated at from forty to sixty million million miles. And, although it contains enough material to make 10,000 suns, each as large and massive as ours, still its density on the av erage is one-millionth of one billionth of our atmosphere! Rarer than the rarest vacuum ever created by man! And yet it wveighs, rough 22 thousand octillion tons (22,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000 tons). T[he green ishi cloud is composed of at least three dlifferent gasses, one of wvhich is uin known on earth. Some think it might l)e doubly or triply ionized helium or hydrogen. Theta Orionis The region of this astronomical giant is known by the prosaic classifi cation, Theta Orionis. Rapidly sink ing into the Western sky (luring May, it wvill remain a promising object for another week or so, gradually fading into the sunset. Rising, howvever, as the majestic Orion sets, is the planet Mars. Long considlered as a possible abode of life, the planet will be studied closely dur ing May, since it is during this month that Mars makes its closest approach to the earth in several years. With the University telescope, the planet can be brought to within a few hundred thousand miles, which is, Astronomi cally speaking, a stone's throw. Whether it will yield up any of its secrets during its perigee this month remains to be seen. usiness Manager MU1 t .own above is Andrew Jones, f y elected business manager of Gamecock" who succeeds Ray c eron.
