Pamphlets In Library Filed A new filing system for pamphlets in the library has been announced by Sallie B. Anderson, assistant li brarian. Pamphlets received by the library have been filed in room 5, and an ' index of their subject matter is kept on the reference librarian's desk in the main hall of the building near the main desk. Miss Anderson called attention to the fact that a group of pamphlets on timely subjects is kept on a shelf in the main library. Commenting on the value of pamphlets in the student's study of present day trends, Miss Anderson said, "It does not require a research worker to appreciate the value of pamphlets. Often the most up to . date material on certain subjects can best be had through pamphlets. It has not been possible to follow accepted library practice and pro vide steel filing cases, known in li brary practice as the 'vertical file', and put the pamphlets into them into usable arrangement. However, we have adopted a workable substi tute." The library receives many pam phlets on contemporary affairs in the field of science, politics, and other timely .subjects. All of these are filed and are available for the use of students. CAROLINA BURNS CARLOADS COAL Smoke from the fifty carloads of coal that the University heating plant uses yearly will go up a brand new, monogrammed smokestack this year.

Students Hear Noted Writers Three distinguished writers spoke to'students of the English Depart ment at the University of South Carolina last Friday at the request of Dr. Babcock. The speakers were Edison Marshall, Frederick Big elow, and James Derieux. Mr. Marshall is one of the most outstanding contemporary writers, Mr. Bigelow is the editor-in-chief of Good Housekeeping magazine, and Mr. Derieux is the former man aging editor of American magazine, now associate editor of the State. The visitors made interesting talks on the craftsmanship of writ ing. One of the highlights of Mr. Marshall's remarks was, "Inspira tion is invalu4ble to a writer, but don't wait for'it. If you do, you'll starve. The best ideas often come to a fictionist at the hardest time and place. To sell your product, you have to' write what the buyer wants." Mr. Bigelow spoke briefly on the literary contributions of the other two speakers, and praised an article on the beauty of the low country gardens by Mr. Derieux. Dr. Babcock presided at the meet ing and introduced the speakers. He thanked them for letting them selves be "shanghied" so gracefully. Dr. Babcock concluded his re marks to the class with, "Don't as sociate with anyone unless he has something you want, unless he is a better man than you. Whenever a big man in any field swims into your ken, capture him then and there." After the lectures, the students were introduced to the speakers, who were' swamped by autograph seekers. Pharmacy Students To Have Model Store As Lab A unique new addition is to be added to the School of Pharmacy in the very near future according to Dean E. T. Motley.

Seniors of the School will have the opportunity to take advantage of this new course which is being introduced for the initial time this year. Through the full cooperation of leading manu facturers of drug products, more than four hundred samples of indi vidual items will be available for use to students.

'd Realizing the importance of teach- b ing young men all the intricacies e connected with theideinside workings t of a drug store's prescription depart- f ment, Doctor Mtley got in touch C with several of the leading pharma ceutical distributors and explained his idea. They all went for it in a si big way. Thus, when the gradu- n ating class otanks out this year they'll know how to find their way around in any prescription room they happen to be employed in. Naturally, this will be a very great asset. Incidentally, this year's enroll ment in the Pharmacy School is the largest in the history of the Univer sity whichadds proof to the fact that pharmacy is ever-increasing in its popularity.
