Literary Digress D DANCE CRAZES 13 ir b What names have been used to y clothe the dance crazes of the past T decade or more! By degrees young 0 America learned to "Charleston" 0 and "Blackbottom," Following the tt sepia strain it became the style to "Truck," from whence it was only a c step, or a glide to "Peckin", "Pos- re in'," and "Doing the Susie Q." The 0 center of action moved uptown then in order to "Stomp at the Savoy" and a "Romp at the Ritz." Now they o: waver between "Waddling at the C Waldorf" and "Big Appling." If f< a change is not forthcoming soon, ir unstable minds will be wabbling and al voozying. tI a Scene: A University classroom. p' Dramatic personae: Prof.' I. Borem and his class. v Action: There isn't much. I. Borem is reading his prepared lecture from several sheets of paper containing t everything he wishes to say. The members of the class have lapsed into various stages approaching t sleep. Professor Borem pauses at the end of each sentence to let the class take down his words. That might be just a play, but it e isn't. And to one's mind there comes the thought "How can Professor ci Lorem, and others of his like, expect w a group of students to pass an ex ;:mination on a subject, which, even h though he be teaching it, requires h tat he read a prepared lecture?" n The question doesn't need any answer, we think.

(Pause, not so refreshing)c Eight! Call out the guard! But I try. Bye."P But the showdown comes when the boys show up. Word goes up stairs that .Pharoah's Army didn't all get drowned, but part is parked below. After a tactical amount of time, come down two lovely creat ures, not, sad to say, equally lovely. Two boys brush over, one a fresh man, but at that a fast worker. The other an upperclassman, big and blundering. They both try to con vince the cutest of the two girls that he is the one for her. The freshman is obviously the conqueror, (but the burly one seeing defeat by that meth od yanks the smaller into a corner and in a voice that everyone in the room can hear offers to match for her.

Physically a n d mentally the impus is a cloistered retreat, a alm of theory, beyond the pressure the world's practical problems. he laboratories and lectures are for ie great part of the time concerned ith forerunners in the background, r with experiments for the future. nly by knowing what has gone be re can one appreciate what is go ig on today. Are we to completely andon ourselves for four years to ie academic, leaving blank the ages where the textbooks leave off ad our own problems will one day ick up? The Periodical Room of the Uni ersity library provides a fair index student 'interest in contemporary fairs. A short survey has shown at the most popular magazines are ie pictorials, humerous, and cur nt newses, the newspapers being e most popular. Literary maga nes, fiction, and popular technical ablications follow, and the journals technical material and editorial iticism last. Most of us appreciate the dynamic iange that is taking place in the orld today, but how many are miliar with details, how many we definite opinions, and how many ave any idea of what the changes lay do to the liberties and privileges e hope to inherit? The biology and rench majors have economic prob ms ,to face. and the business man id government worker has cultural d scientific, that college curric llas cannot deal with. Chicago U's Robert Maynard utchins has seemingy stui tiet ue orld with the announcements that lleges fail to educate, and the ult immediately goes to the class iom, which to most people is incipally the college. Even the udents believe that campus life is arely social, as a means to escape lucation as much as possible. )urnalists,, pre-meds, and engineers, om together for a whole year with at getting from each other even slight knowledge of the worlds s roommates are interested in a aduate in any field, knows little anything of the actual work he entering upon, and less about her things, subejcts he will always coming into contact with, but ~ver afterwards have the chance consider at any length. How high are the campus walls? 3. they reach to the stars, and geon-hole each one of us in a chnical category from which we nnot break? Or are they mere ysical structures enclosing a actice model of the land outside which anyone of us can shift with t losing our size and perspective.

Three exhibits, the German club books under Palmer's office, The Gamecock editions of September 23 and October 1 were introduced by the prosecution. Other witnesses called by Prose cutors Hemphill and Pope were Sam McFadden, Laurie O. Farrell, Vivien Morse, and Hummel Harley. Feature of these witnesse's testi mony was the statement by Vivien Morse that "I have been brought up with The Gamecock." Before the defense presented their witnesses, they called for a non suit motion but it was not granted. the defense offered this motion based on the fact that no actual or special damages were asked for. Judge Whaley did not grant the motion, ruling that it was not necessary to allege special damages if there is sufficient evidence of libel per se to go to the jury. The defense called first Edward Harter as their witness who testi fied that he was the author of the article over which the libel suit was entered. Charlton Horger, second witness, and an ex treasurer of the German Club took the witness stand. He regarded rumors of the dishonesty of this dance club's treasurer as a joke and felt that identification as ex treasurer of the club was an honor. Dinky Williams, editor in chief of The Gamecock, was called on the stand, where he testified that the column Muscilin' In was written merely in good natured humor. Another witness called by the de fense was G. G. Dowling, Jr. -U. S.

In fact the two committees have gone even further in insisting that N. Y. A. appointees not maintain social fraternity con nections by means of funds supplied by relatives or friends. The belief is that such aid, if available to the student, should be devoted to de fraying his necessary college ex penses and relieving him of the necessity of an N. Y. A. job which should go to some other student in greater need. Thus, the two local committees have striven to carry on in accord ance with intended National policy and in harmony with local judge ment as to social ethics. To that end, the campus office has strictly in sisted on the point that no N. Y. A. appointee, either as a pledge or member of a social fraternity direct ly or indirectly thru friends or other wise pay any loca for national dues or other charges to a social fraterni ty. If this understanding and local rule is being violated, the campus N. Y. A. office will welcome and will act upon information about those guilty. The committees on appoint ments are powerless to do more than demand pledges from appointees in accordance with the spirit and principle of the National Youth Ad ministration and in conformity with the rule on fraternity-sorority ex penses.

Investigation has affirmed that one office on the campus has many times employed students beyond their N. Y. A. time and paid them well or has supplemented the NYA rate of 30c per hour for night or week-end work voluntarily accepted by the students. N. Y. A. students employ ed in by that particular office have been enabled to earn approximate ly one thousand dollars annually in compensation for their loyalty and industry in emergencies. The N. Y.
