Housewives and widows stand next in order with 154 listed and third and fourth places are held by the mer chants, with 139, and the unemployed retired class, 73. Night-watchmen, butchers, bakers, barbers, laborers and chauffeurs along with bankers, jewelers, economists, journalists and artists are included in the parent-occupation list given by students. One Politician If all the parents were gathered together in a modern cooperative community, they would have no trouble maintaining a hign social and economic level, so diversified are their vocations. Even governmental affairs might be well taken care of since one student lists his father's business as, merely and frankly. "a politician". Included in the assortment are rail way men, salesmen, federal employees, lawyers, teachers, physicians and sur geons, ministerc, state employees. general businessmen, textile employees, accountants and auditors, contractors, bookkeepers, oil company employees. Also: pharmacists, real estate deal ers, brokers, civil engineers, mechanics and machinists, dentists, auto dealers and service station operators, city em ployees, clerical worker,, county em ployees, secretaries, electricians, tel ephone and telegraph men, lumbermen, hotel and boarding-house proprietors, printers and engravers, laborers, mill ers, dairymen, livestock dealers, car penters, jewelers, manufacturers, plumbers, electrical engineers, army and navy men, social workers, barbers, marble, stone and gravel workers, dry cleaners and launderers, tobacconists, journalists, librarians, seamstresses,l advertisers, nurses, florists, painters, optometresses, fur dealers, beauty operators, milliners and others. Farming will soon become a lost art in the state if University of South Carolina students have anything to do with it. No Farmers Of 1554 students registered at the University, not one named farming as his prospective vocation after gradua tion although 232 listed it as their par ents' occupation. "Undecided" led the list of answers with 290 votes while lawyers and teachers stood next in order with 249 andl 248 respectively. Accountancy and general business attract 206 of the students and, while only one expresses a desire to become a nurse, 117 want to be physicjans and surgeons. Engineers Engineering comes in for its share of the graduates with 77 wanting to be evil engineers, 43 electrical engineers, and 12 chemical engineers. The 62 aspiring journalists and writers bid fair to effect a literary renaissance in the South, aided by 16 secretaries and 12 artist-illustrators. Other Vocations Other vocations standing high in student-favor are pharmacy, 53,; chem istry, 32; ministry, 16; social work, 16; and technical work, 13. Occupations attracting less than 10 students each include dentistry, mer chandising, library service, real estate and insurance, architecture, aero. en AND TUESDAY F- CROSBY liE EVANS .-In PROM HEAVEN" Social Frat Gains_Praise Calvert Represents S.

Preceding the chapter reports, D H. Shelton Smith, southeastern char cellor, welcomed all the delegat< from the various universities and co leges present.

He bro::ght out the need for integra tion of all studies and particularly th social sciences. Faculties should g< away from the petty idea that m department and courses are all i portant and aid the student in gel ting a well-rounded approach to a matters. .He explained that specialization ha its all-important place but that no on could lay claim to a well-rounded edt cation who had not followed a broa curriculum. He emphasized th; every student regardless of his choic of vocation would be better fitted t live having had some sociology. Tha we need to understand the world abot us better was one of the salient poini in his address. Doctor Donaldson also said the though grades should not be stresse so much that the student forgets t learn anything, scholarship should l: striven for. That scholarship is a attainment and a distinct honor is t be taken seriously. True scholarshi is based on the merits of honest ai plication of the student to his worn Emphasis should be placed on suc scholarship. ~--. g. o. gineering, aviation, forestry, religiot work, music, advertising, dietetic stenography, missionary work, biolog foreign service, photography, geolog and dramatics.

N JOSEPH C. S FLORENC --In s Survey 1 Conditions rawford Likes Turtle_Soup e p t i e Authority spounds On Varieties Of Turtles Commonly Found In South Oar. olina And Nearby Regions "The yellow belly turtle, commonly illed the 'cooter', and,. properly a trapin, as it is an edible fresh water niinal, abounds in South Carolina," tys J. A. Crawford, director of phy cal education for men at the Uni rsity. "Its flesh is so delicious that is more popular than the diamond ack turtle which at one time sold >r as high as $60 a dozen." Crawford Has Reputation Mr. Crawford, who has gained quite reputation as an authority on reptiles, as recently asked by a prominent iologist if he had ever observed the >mmon wood turtle in South Caro "I am under the impression that iese turtles use this state as a remote abitate and believe that I found one Greenville county about three years ;o," he said "I made only a casual servation and am not positive in entification, although I am reason >ly sure that they inhabit South Caro na, as it is a southeastern animal." Spotted Terrapins Replying to another biologist who ked whether he had ever found ottcd terrapins in this state, Mr. rawford said: "I have found four. One at Bethune, C.; a second specimen in Edisto vamp, near Orangeburg; a third at orth, S. C.; and a fourth on the old' Tinnsboro road, north of Columbia." Asked about the abundance of the inted terrapin, Mr. Crawford said: ['hese terrapins are abundant in cer in localities, but being shy they are ought to be scarce." Snapping Turtles "The most diabolical turtle that we ive in .South Carolina is the common lapping turtle. This species is as cious as he is ugly. But the soup ade from him is excellent," said Mr. rawford. "The snapping turtle weighs as much 45 or 50 pounds in South Carolina, even larger farther south. Of urse his first cousin, the Florida iapper which seldom reaches this ate grows to 120 pounds, and is also vicious animal."
