MARGARET ROLLINS, Oo-ed Ed Sprinc HawkinsC Radio Br Mrs. J. R. Hawkins, instructor of English at the University of South Car olina, has recently organized a series of radio broadcasts called "Book inter views." The purpose of the series is to interest students and friends of the University all over the state in the best of modern literature suitable for leisure time read ing. Included on the programs are re views of popular fiction, biographies, and important books of the month. A review of Marquis Jame's biography of Andrew Jackson, "Portrait of a Pres ident," was presented on last Friday's broadcast. Since Jackson, the beloved frontiersman is a state as well as a national hero, the program should have been of particular interest to South Car olinians. Assisting Mrs. Hawkins were Eleanor Brand and Katherine Heustiss. Miss Heustiss played the piano during the pro gram and Miss Brand took part in the narration. The music chosen was in com plement to the mood of the type of lit erature under discussion. In two previous broadcasts, Mrs. Hawkins was assisted by Alice Ringham and Dolly Hamby. It is the intention of those in charge to include a number of students in the presentations each week. Mr. William H. Ward, director of the Extension Division at the University co operated with Mrs. Hawkins in organiz ing this series, and it is his hope that the programs, being both instructive and en tertaining will be of sufficient interest to build up a regular audience. Students on the campus, book clubs 1 over the state, and various others in terested in reading current literature will CHILDS MOVES TO EXTENSION The offices of Mrs. A. R.
