Meriwether, secretary, was inter viewed by Frank Wardlaw of the University news bureau on the School of the Air over WIS last week. Tracing the organization's rapid growth since its beginning in Feb ruary, 1937, Doctor Meriwether said that it now has over 190 mem bers and its membership extends north to Rhode Island, west to Chicago, and southwest to Missis sippi. During the past year it contrib uted over 6,000 individual items to the South Carolina Collection of the University library. This so ciety .has' its own book label which is attached to each gift with the name of the donor inscribed there on. Mr' Meriwether spoke of the plans for the third annual dinner to be held in February, 1939. Mr. Wardlaw recalled the dinner meet ing held in the reading room of the beautiful old library on February 22, 1938, and President McKissick's remark that /'This group is the most illustrious that gathers in the Palmetto State."

Kilmer Gives Pharmacy Prize To encourage recent graduates of pharmaceutical institutions to assume an active interest in re search in pharmacy, Dr. Frederick B. Kilmer has bequeathed $3,000 to be held in trust, with the income applied to the awarding of the Kil mer Prize, according to an an nouncement received by the Uni versity pharmacy department. Given for meritorious work in pharmacognosy, the first award will be made at the annual meeting of the American Pharmaceutical asso ciation at Atlanta in 1930, the prize committee asserted. The Kilmer Prize will consist of a gold key, suitably inscribed. The difference between the cost of the key and the annual income from Dr. Kilmer's bequest will be awarded the winner in cash to as sist him in attending the annual meeting of the association to re ceive the award. Students entering into competi tion for this prize must be mem bers of the present senior class of a pharmaceutical college or a school of pharmacy of a university. Papers eligible for the award must be based upon either laboratory or library research. They must be written during the last year of the candidate's course in pharma cy. The head of the pharmacy de partment of each school will select one to three best papers submit ted by the candidates. Each school or college will send these papers to the chairman of the Kilmer com mittee toward the end of the school year, not later than June 1. The committee will select from these papers the winner, who will be notified one month prior to the annual meeting in Atlanta. --. U. 0.

Sligh IM!ERIAL HOTE.L Day Nite Phone 7761, Phone 9618 iare *t s sfu Sponsor Dinner Dance, And Floor Revue By Wallace Smith Broadway night spot proprietors will inform you, that to operate a successful dusk to dawn rendez vous you must-present a galaxy of lovely girls; serve the finest of wines and feed your customers with only passable second rate food. This theory was exploded Wednesday night in Steward's Hall at the Delta Sigma Pi cabaret din ner dance; and any New York night life impressario, including Billy Rose would have bowed long and low at the entertainment, food and music the gentlemen from the School of Commerce offered their patrons. You wouldn't have recognized your egg and hominy emporium done up in typical night club style. There were flambouyant purple and gold streamers, the fraternity colors; a tiny, dine-size dance floor diffused in soft light; mellow music played by your favorite bands (re corded) and tables filled with a throng of happy-go-lucky revellers. Lovely little cigarette girls glided from table to table and waiters were always,on hand to obey your slight est order. The atmosphere was heavy with smoke and noise-the clatter of dishes and silverware but Evans Guyton, a subtle master of ceremonies used to such trivials, conducted his revue and rattled off his chatter in a clear cut voice that reached the farthest reaches of the club; occasionally he whispered things out of the corner of his mouth for the benefit of his chefs in the kitchen. Now no emcee begins to build up his floor presentation until he is fairly sure his customers have tast6d the delicacies of his kitchen. Mr. Guyton definitely falls in this category. Secretly eyeing each ta ble to be positive every boy and rirl had at lenst tried a niece nf white turkey meat, Guyton rapped on the polished floor with the tip of his shoe. The brilliant rays of a spotlight slashed thr-ough 'the smoke and you could have heard a hundred pins drop separately. The University Glee Club was intro duced as the initial act of the even ing. Under Billy Baldwin's direc tion they sang two songs that pleased the crowd no end. They were askced to noe nsit fnr n" en core but instead of bringing the entire ensemble back on the floor (they hadn't eaten their dinner) a quartette was presented in a novel ditty that faced .a decided wallop. Billie Coffee was next on the bill of fare and, accompanied by Wake field Baltzegar she went through a series of intricate acrobatic dances-backbending flips, hand stands and other muscle teasers even the football players were heard gasping over in their cor: ner. Following a brief intermissioQn Martha Monteith swished out into the spotlight to warble two of the season's more popular ballads, "Rock It For Me" and "So Help Me". Miss Monteith's style and technique made an instantaneous hit with the crowd. Procuring a cough drop from one of his waiters and apologizing because his voice had begun to tail spin, Guyton cleared his throat and introduced the final act of the re vue. These were torch songs rendered by a demure 16 year old song bird--Louise Davis. She op ened her program with "There's A Far Away Look In Your Eyes"; it brought the house down-there had to be more. Now she delight ed them with "I'm Gonna Lock My Heart And Throw Away The Key"; the building rocked with ap plause. Called out for an encore, Miss Davis sang the granddaddy of the blues, "Basin Street." Again applause rocked the floor, T his time she offered a duet with her accompanist, Mildred Granger. It was "Take A Tip." They still wouldn't let her go. So, as her final tune, she again sang a duet with Miss Granger, this one be ing one of the better ballads, "My Own." Guyton was again on the floor and between bites on another cough drop he told his listeners that tables were to be whisked away and the cabaret was to be turned into a break dance. At once the floor was crowded with dancing couples as University stay up-lates enjoyed their Initial taste of campus night-clubbing. In a peanut-hull, it was a swell show I Students Form Spanish Club A Spanish club has been organ ized in Spanish 31, 'Prof. W. C. Zeigler announced this week.

L.YKS, President MRA 0 T. FAULICINDEI Players Will Dramatize "Class Of '29'' "Class of '29" is the next pro luction to be given by the Uni versity Players an Millsaps, pres ident of the organization, an nounced at the meeting last week. The play is a dramatization of lifficulties of members of the class f 1929, which emerged in time to be hit by the depression. Casting has not yet begun on the play however. This will be done by Faculty Advisors, Maurice Stephan and William Woods, who were not present at the meeting. The date for production has not been set either. It is probable that the opening night will come either immediately before the Christmas holidays, or sometime in January. When the business session was completed, Miss Caroline Goggins introduced Miss Mamie Thomas, who made a talk on stage make up. Miss Thomas has been assisting in making up characters at the Town Theater for several years. She made some very interesting remarks on the right and the wrong way to apply "straight make up" and "character make up." Smith Chosen On Committee Dr. Ellison Smith, professor of elementary education at the Uni versity of South Carolina, was ap pointed on a commission of seven membets to make an exhaustive study of South Carolina's elemen tary schools. The commission will hold its first meeting in Columbia, Decem ber 10. It is expected that the study will extend over a period of some months. The commis sion will then make recommenda tions to the state board. As far as is known, this is the first step the new board of edu cation has taken in the direction of making a thorough examination of the schools of the state. It did adopt, some weeks ago, a report of a special committee, named in 1937, asking certain changes in the curriculum, particularly in high schools. But this committee was named prior to the appointment of new members to the board by Gov. Olin D. Johnston. Over the country, more and more emphasis h'as been placed upon proper elementary education in public schools. Recent studies by the office of education of the United States government have shown that of every 100 boys and girls in school 75 are in the ele nientarY g.ado. Stoddard Will Attend Meeting Dr. J. A. Stoddard, professor of education at the University, will go to Orangeburg for a three day conference in connection with the work of the Accrediting Commis sion on Secondary Schools, De cember 5, 6, 7. Dr. Stoddard will also attend a similar conference at Woodruff, December 8 and 9. Dr. Stoddard is chairman of the South Carolina State Committee on Accredited Schools of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Dr. Stoddard, working for the committee, is endeavoring to es tablish a more satisfactory basis for accrediting schools. The con ference at Orangeburg is part of the program. Dr. M. L. Alstet ter, field representative of the Co operative Study of Secondary School Standards, will direct the training. A meeting of this same type was held at the Univeristy October 13 and 14, with Dr. Alstetter presid ing. To these conferences are in vited all members of the State Committee on Accredited Schools, all superintendents and principals of member schools, all superinten dents and principals of schools ap plying for membership, represen tatives of colleges and universities, and teachers selected by superin tendents. --o. 3. 0.

Social Affairs Investigated More details are required of so cial functions when the affairs are registered on the social calendar at the athletic office, according to action taken by the committee to investigate social affairs on the campus. Duties of the committee are to find out whether there is too much or too little social life, whether it affects too many or too few stu dents, if the chaperonage is con ducted properly, and if the cost to students is too great. The board of trustees instructed President McKissick to appoint the committee two weeks ago, and the folowing were selected: Prof. William Woods, chairman, Miss Katherine Heyward, Mrs. Arney Childs, Prof. Julian Petty, Miss Beverly G.
