7- - V Botn.oessing Dmy was defnitely a success-including the football game. Perfect weather, the parade, the floats, the girls, aid the flowers al combined to make for congeniality. A4d in spite. of the obvious animosity existing between the Sandjappers afdA C mers, everything was sailing smoothly by the time the 8#ooa Qabinet dance got under way. Dancing seems to be the one reereation in which personal grudges may be forgotten and forgiven--for the time being, anyway. This week's program is filled with dances-till honoring pledges. who continue to hold the center of attention on the campus. And why not? With girls like Lavinia Lyles, who is Louisa's sister, Dot Park, a new-comer to bolumbia, Polly Cely, a transfer from Winthrop, Marian Wilder- the Jonexs twins, Nancy Padgett and many others, next year's group will have to go some to vie with the rising sophomores!

Honors Coed Book Is Compiled For the first time since the Co-ed Association was organized, a hand book was compiled by the associa tion, under the leadership of Martha L. Withers, president, for the bene fit of new girls entering the Univer sity.

In addition to presenting new girls with handbooks, the Co-ed Associa tion also distributed them to presi dents of all girls' campus organiza x MARTHA L.

Smith Criminologists look upon finger printing as a comparatively new practice, but Mother Nature beat them to it by some 60,000,000 years, according to a UJniversity of South Carolina professor. Yes, Mother Nature 'took the prints of dinosaurs in soft mud, hardened them into shale that could survive the passage of millions of years and left them lying around for scientists to identify, Dr. L. L. Smith, professor of geology at the University, says. A number of dinosaur tracks in shale are in the geologic collection of the University of South Carolina. Many of thenm, incidentally, were collected by Dr. Thomas Cooper, president of the University (then South Carolina College) from 1820 to 1834. President Cooper, described by Thomas Jefferson as America's most brilliant man, was instrumental in the establishment of the study of geology at the University. When dinosaur tracks were first found, Doctor Smith says, scientists believed they were made by ostriches, because of the three-toed prints. But some wvere found which were so large that that theory had to be ruled out. One print in the University's collection, for instance, measures 20 inches in length. But it was not until dinosaur skeletons were found in connection with the tracks that all doubt disappeared. Most dinosaur tracks found in America were found in the vicinity of the Connecticut river valley.
