CAMPUS PE BY LEOLI Ann James The retiring vice president of the iUniversity Y. W. C. A. is lovable, blue eyed Ann James, February senior in the school of arts and sciences. "Wonderful disposition, and so friendly," comments Catherine Narey, former co-ed editor of The Gamecock. "One of the finest girls I've ever been lucky enough to meet," adds Wiles Gillespie, this week's other campus personality. The athletically active type of girl, Ann is especially fond of swimming. She has been a counselor at summer campus for the past three years. Fur ther evidencing her love of outdoor life, she has an ambition to live in the country. Know her most persistent weakness? It's going to sleep when she has paral lel to read for a certain class. Under standable, don't you think? Though she thinks Carolina is "tops," always has been, and always will be, she does think the music department of the Uni versity should be expanded, and that more support be givern the University Players. Vhen graduated from Carolina, Ann will do social work. She has partici pated in this work while at the Uni versity. The possessor of a clear, sweet alto voice, Ann has been particularly ac tive in the co-ed glee club of (arolina. She has been its president and vice president. Once she sang in a quar tet with Wiles Gillespie at Clemson. "He drowned me out!" she laughs. Beside being president and vice-pres ident of the glee club, Ann has been vice-president of the Y. V. C. A., a Y. Cabinet member, reporter for the Co-ed Association, and a member of Damas, Non de Script, Beaux Arts, Alpha Kappa Gamma, and Pi Gamma Mu. Her sorority is Tri Delta.

He has also served as vice-president of that organization, and has been almost equally as active in the Y. M. C. A. He has been president and vice-presi dent of the freshman Y. Rather quiet, always amiable, Wiles is one of the friendliest students on Carolina's campus. He enjoys read ing exciting, adventurous books, but cares nothing for poetry. Music is Wiles' chief interest. When he is graduated from Carolina he plans to study music at another institution, probably Peabody College, Baltimore. \Well-known on the campus for his bariotne voice. Wiles is a member of the Shandon Choral Choir, which sings annually at the Spring Music Festival of Columbia. 1)el3ussy Mendlesohn, and Tchai kowsky are Wiles' favorite composers. The enchanting arias from 11 Trova tore, Louise, and Rigoletto are the best in opera, in his opinion. That is, he enjoys them most. Indulging a hobby of his for wood work, Wiles worked two summers in a cabinet shop near Spartanburg. He is fond of swimming and that no. 1 Carolina pastime, ping-pong. In fact, ping-pong is his most strenuous activi ty, he says. "I like girls who can carry on intelli gent conversations. That's why I am ostracized from society." (Gee, we didn't know you were ostracized, Wiles!) Now for a bit of constructive criti cism of the University. "Although I think Carolina is a swell place, I think we need a new tele phone system, and enlarged music de partment, and the abolition of the his tory department."-(Dangerous words, my friend!)

MUSCt Funds Approved For Library (Continued from Page One) a capacity' of 350,000 volumes and a seating capacity of 600. This is being done to make building large enough for future needs. More than 500 people are expected to be em ployed in the construction of the li brary. Pres. McKissick also announced that he will appoint a comnttee of the fac ulty to make suggestions about the li brary, and that students wil also be given a chance to voice their ideas. Last year an act of the legislature of South Carolina set aside $325,000 for construction of a library of adminis tration building or combination of both. The present library was built in 1848, and is said to be the first separate li brary building in the United States. In 1937 the University applied to the Public Works Administration for a grant to build a library, but although the P. V. A. made grants to every other school in the state, the Univer sity application was denied. However, the application now pend ing is not concerned with that of 1937. The telegram received by Pres. Mc Kissick reads as follows: Dr. J. Rion McKissick, University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. The president has approved the Uni versity library project, sent to the comptroller.
