pfitta of students for the Vq$ ,et q Black must be made Vefore Saturday, October 15, MacArthur, editor of the 'ook, has announced. If not e'dy purchased pigtures and :may be paid for at Toal's t016, 1435: Main Street, photog for the apnual. hose buying both pictures and copies of the annual save money by doing so now, when the two will ;ost $3.50. Bought separately or at a later date, the price is $1.50 for the picture and $2.50 for the book. "The Garnet and Black is the one tangble thing by which you will re member and be remembered by your classmates and friends," MacArthur said. "No matter where you go or live, you will always have a bit of Carolina with you." Last spring many students who had not ordered a 1938 Garnet and Black had to pay extortionate prices for the few available copies, some bringing as much as $10. "I cannot over-emphasize the ne cessity of purchasing your picture and book now," the editor declared. "Even if we have enough copies to supply the demand next spring, you will save 25% by buying now." The staff will meet in the Garnet and Black office over the chapel next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. All students interested in securing of fices on the staff are requested to be present.

It's not as far fetched as it sounds. The personnel bureau at the Uni versity has one of the few electric scoring machines for objective tests in the nation. Because this method, of scoring is faster and more accurate than scoring by hand, ten other South Carolina colleges send their psycholog ical and placement tests for new stu dents to the University to be scored. When scoring Citadel freshman tests, W. C. McCall, director of the bureau, noticed that moisture was col lecting on the test answer.sheets. He also discovered that this moisture was knocking a few points off their scores. The scoring machine works on the principle of graphite pencil marks made by students on answer sheets permitting the transmission of elec tric current. The moisture on the Citadel sheets was making contacts where none should have been. So the electric warming pad was brought into play. Mr. McCall sim ply used it to warm the answer sheets and the scoring proceeded with its usual accuracy. This year the personnel bureau will score approximately 2,650 tests for Newberry, Limestone, Converse, The Citadel. Coker. Columbia , Bible Col lege, Winthrop, Anderson, Furman, Greenville Women's College, and the University. Re Cleanihg Co. PHONE 8156 ?
