Studedts Show D Interests In Litei Profs Attend Labor Meet Miss Leila Johnson and Dr. G. Croft Williams, faculty members of the social science department of the University of South Carolina, have been invited by Miss Frances Perkins, secretary of labor, to attend a regional labor conference to be held in New Orleans the first of next week. Gov. Olin D. Johnston has also desig nated other state notables to be present at the meeting as representatives of South Carolina. A similar conference was held in Co lumbia two years ago. That members of her department were laboring under a handicap in that they were not allowed an expense account to attend more important and informative social workers' meetings was made pub lic by Miss Johnson recently. Dr. Williams, department head, is in a position of influence in the state, and should be able to attend as many such conferences as possible, Miss Johnson added. "The benefits derived from such at tendance would be of incalculable aid to instructor as well as pupil," she said. -U. .. .

For example; 7he at Iliad, Good Bye, Mr. Chips, Remarque's C All Quiet on the Western Front, Dante's Divine Comedy, Corneille's Le Cid, Plato and Goethe are on the class's reading list. From Russian authors are Tolstoi, Tur geneu, Dostoeviski. The French authors ; Rabelais, Daudet, and Balzac are read. The main objective of the course is to give the student the time and opportunity to read the famous books he has always desired to read. There is no prescribed course of study, rather each student is free to read whatever he wishes. Doug McKay has been elected class president. Currie McArthur and Joseph Nettles are the treasurers. The class plans to buy a large number of books which the library does not at present have. It is the intention of the class to in vite a number of < istinguished persons to visit the class during the semester and talk on the book that had meant most to him. The guests will probably include some of the faculty, prominent ministers and lawyers. Also it is expected that more than one famous author will be here by the invitation of this class. Dr. Babcock thinks the proof of the success of the course lies in the fact that re the students arc very enthusiastic. In in the discussion forums everyone is anxious c< to talk about his work. in --v. e. 0.-S Carolina Students W Represent State ' The University of South Carolina stu dent body this year is more representative S of the state as a whole than ever before, ci John A.
