Shampoo 5' PERMANE $3.50 Columbia's Newest, Up-To-Date.: MAYFAIR BE Latest Equipment Two Blocks 1 1132 Bull St reet: CAMPUS PE BY LEOLi MRS. GRACE SWEENY She's gay, humorous, and witty, with one of the most charming personalities this ole campus ever had the good luck to know. Mrs. Grace Sweeny, widely traveled, has been a member of the Uni versity faculty for the last ten years. She's a professor of French in the mod ern languages department. A native of Lexington, Kentucky, Mrs. Sweeny went to school at the Universities of Michigan, Wisconsin, and South Car olina, the Sorbonne in Paris, the Insti tute de Ihonetique, Paris, and the School of Hispanic Studies, Spain. She has made numerous trips to Europe; during one of them she spent the summer in Spain. Usually these trips are mainly to France, and there have been so many that she has stopped counting them. Her hobby is Carolina, this above everything else. Then come gardening and traveling. She keeps a garden all her own, tending it herself. Chrysanthe mums are her favorite flowers, though she loves most any kind. She digs all her troubles into her garden, she says. Interested and talented in music, Mrs. Sweeny has been contralto soloist at Trinity Church ever since she came to live in Columbia. She is vice-president of the Evening Music Club, of this city. She likes reading, too, being especially fond of Edna St. Vincent Millay's poetry. French poetry, naturally enough, is her favorite, though. Impatient toward carelessnes:;, toward trivial excuses met with in students' work, she expects and accepts nothing less than a person's best. A job well done is well worth while, and there's no end of satisfaction to be had from it. In these days of rushing from one thing to another, and half-doing everything, her advice is valuable: do the job on hand well. Mrs. Sweeny is in favor of adding a course in diction at the University. She believes Carolina students need training in pronunciation and tones of voice. She is another of the rapidly growing num ber of people who are convinced that there are too many student organizations on our campus. -U. ". a.

S. K., and Kappa at Sigma. You know him, of course. lie's at Atherton W\'haley, tall, blonde student as- rvad sistant in chemistry lab. Plans and Travels When he is graduated from Carolina he expects to go to another eastern uni versity and get his Ph. D. degree. A native of Columbia, he has never lived elsewhere. Ahi, but that doesn't mean he's not cosmopolitan! He is, to the extent that he has traveled extensively. lie knows France best, having made numerous trips to that country, England, Germany, and litaly; he's toured them all. Next on the program of voyages, he thinks, should be a trip around the world, with a special stop at Mt. Ve suvius. Of all the places he has visited, he enjoyed and liked Paris best. The spirit of gaiety and friendliness, especi ally, appealed to him. - This Dean's Honor List student is a tennis and track devotee. 1-le's good atI sailing, too. A couple of years ago he used to raise rabbits and guinea pigs. In fact, he says, there are only a few things (should we say "animals"?) that he hasn't raised. Likes Reading Edgar Rice Burroughs, Haliburton, and Wells are Atherton's favorite authors, signifying his interest in adventure and scientific reading. He enjoys plays and studying philosophy and psychology. Dancing ranks "tops" with him. Anxious to know his views on the present chapel situation? Answer: He has never been to chapel since he entered - Carolina! Notwithstanding, he advocates having chapel an hour later each week, omitting a different class each week. Preferences It's brunt tes in winter, anz blondes in summer for Atherton. Above all else, he hates snobs and hypocrites. He admires friendliness more than any other quality in a person. Just out of a clear sky: "I A hate people who go to church so they can go to heaven." Veakness: canly and pretty girls. By his own admission, lie has plenty of others, lie simply can't ( I) talk now. Like most men, lie names blue his fav orite color. By way of closing, he thinks being a dletectiv'e is fun.
