Campus Pe BY LEOLA Marybelle Higgins That melodious voice you hear com ng out- of the loud speaker of your adio extolling the virtues 9f oleomar rarine and Kelvinator refrigerators is ione other than that of Marybelle Hig ins, Carolina's own journalism star. [his feminine radio personality, a native 1 >f Georgetown, S. C., is a commercial innouncer, now, of no mean merit. This former society editor of The ;amecock was ace reporter on a country veekly in 'Virginia last summer. She eally prefers newspaper work to radio vork, since "news" is her career. Being a lover of children, she enjoys he company of the "three little Hig rinses" (as she calls them) so much that he has made a hobby of being with hem. She wishes, too, to be quoted as "an rdent admirer of Martin Hodes' classi al education." Marybelle keeps up with the world. We mean that she is well-informed on imely subjects, due to her practice, or ,astime, of reading up on current topics. [his, no doubt, is a result of her journa istic interests. You probably- follow her olumn "On the Campus" in the Co umbia Record. This column is a weekly nformal discussion of Carolina campus vents. While she is a lover of all music in eneral, she is particularly fond of Ferde ;rof 's "Music in the modern manner." the is quite active in dramatics, but vhether she participates in the Univer ity's dramatic productions or not, she ays she follows thent and lends them ier moral support. We will long remem ier her as the farmwoman, garbed in )ean Bradley's footwarmer, In that nuch-talked-of war drama, "Bury the )ead." She has been Euphrosynean Literary ociety secretary and society editor of rhe Gamecock, and is now senior leader >f Damas, and a member of Alpha Delta --.

This will mark the first occasion hat a minister of the Associated Re ormed Presbyterian church has de vered the Baccalaureate sermon at the Jniversity, according to college of icials. It is also the first exercise if this kind, to be held in the Field -Iouse. The limited seating capactiy >f the local A. R. P. church prevented he ceremony from being performed here. President J. Rion McKissick an ounced today: "We particularly de ire in this way to do honor tq Erskine ollege and the 'Associate Reformed presbyterian church not only because f their distinguished history and oble contribution to the upbuilding f South Carolina and the Kingdom of rsonalities GARETY Gedney Howe A skilled sportsman whose specialty is shooting the bull lives amongst us. His chief interest in life is living in tenement 18 and going to law school, in which he is a senior. This gentleman from Charleston is one of the most in teresting personalities this campus has ever known. Being a man who admires frankness above all other virtues, he is at all times candid. And Gedney is im patient with, and uninterested in those who have not this quality. During his four years at Carolina he has been extremely active in campus politics. He has made it his hobby, and finds it absorbing in the highest degree. In regard to the growing criticism of politics on our campus, Gedney says, "It's not politics that is bad, it's the people in it I" Likes Reading He is fond of reading books on gov ernment and philosophy. When Ae is graduated in June, Gedney is going home to Charleston to begin practicing law with Gus H. Pearlman. He fervently dislikes any display of jewelry, no matter how modest. Neither does he like people who do not mind their own business. He enjoys - to the fullest Dick Foster's haranguing on re ligion, he says. He prefers hours spent n the company of his friends, talking and swapping yarns, to movies and other similar pastimes. When he does attend movies, however, the pictures he selects are apt to' be good tragedies. Pet Plan A few weeks ago we introduced to you the pet plant of Stokes Davis, presi dent-elect of the student body. This week we give you Gedney's pet plan It is to have the Carolina Alumni as sociation make a fund to help desirable students through the University. Gedney also supports Davis's plan of having two student body vice-presidents (one a girl) and advocates voluntary chapel attendance. He finished his academic work at the College of Charleston and then entered law school here. He has been a member f the Board of Publications, and is now member of the Euphradian Literary So ciety and Blue Key fraternity. -u.. . o. God, but also because both have so long manifested such just and friend ly attitude toward the University of South Carolina. They have obeyed and still obey the commandment, 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.'" Since 1921 Reverand Grier has held the office of presidency at Erskine College. Born at the scene of his col lege, Due West, he received his A. B. legree from Erskine in 1910, and four years later graduated from the Theo logical Seminary there. The degree Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon Reverend Grier by Presbyterian College in 1922. From the University of South Carolina in 1932 he received the degree Doctor of Literature. Reverend Crier and 'President Mc Kissick have been friends over a long period. SPECIAL We have just received a small shipment of tennis shorts in all colors.
