Prr;ducts ma a complete line of drugs, sund from rat poisoa to toothbrushe Formal anaouncement of the< completion of the School of Phar macy's project cam e yesterday froin Professor R. W. Morrison, who has been in direct charge of the scheme since its inception the latter part of November. "The School of Pharmacy," hie said, "has now completed a model drug store which will be used for teaching all subjects offered by the department in .commercial phar macy." 400 Items Professor Morrison added that one drug company contributed ap proximately 400 items to the phar macy. All commercial prod-cts weressrse Moio adededartn without expense. All products of the p)harmacy are properly classified and indexed. The products are displayed on shelves built by the PWA. An as sortnment of rubber goods are dis-1 played in a show case in the 13 x 30 foot pharmacy laboratory. Special feature of the drug store is the pre scription department, which will be provided with a telephone, to give students practical experience in tak ing prescription orders by tele phone. The pharmacy, for "display, ob servation and study," has in addi tion to the prescription department, other professional departments; in cluding sick-room supplies, infant supplies, invalid supplies, veterinary medicines, insecticides, rodent poi sons, household disinfectants, and toilet articles as well as several sec tions of proprietary medicines. New Course Included Classes in commercial pharmacy will be taught in the model drug store. A practical course in win dow and show-case displaying is in cluded in the commercial pharmacy curriculum. "The course given in the model pharmacy," said Dean E. T. Mot ley of the school of pharmacy, "will be an exact duplication of actual drug store work.". The model contains a complete stock of biologicals; serums, anti toxins, vaccines, toxoids and other diagnostic products. Teaching em phasis will be laid on pharmaceuti cals and biologicals used in South Carolina, Professor Morrison said. Classes in commercial pharmacy have been offered at the University since 1933; treating of drug store management, salesmanship, adver tising, legal requirements, pharma ceutical jurisprudence and proprie tary products. The model pharmacy is now rare in the United States, but are rapidly increasing in number in the col leges and universities.

In its small way, the murium<c really has quite a few fa .nating objects which are dioj%yea in glass cases so that thpy may easily be seen. Each oYJect has an accom panying card' which gives informa tion concqning the article and also tells thi name of the donor or own er. ,4any of the objects are merely lelt to the library for safekeeping ,ince the room is fireproof, and also because the cases are kept locked day and night. Many Co lumbians contribute to the museum and it is quite fascinating to wan der about the room gazing at the many various types of articles con tained in the cases. For instance, there are enough foreign coins to delight any coin collector's heart, while in the same case, many a philatelist will ache with envy as he spies three unused L0c Confed craic btaips. Then for those historically inclined, here a few pieces that will make American history a wee bit more interesting and en lightening: a piece of armor osten sibly used by Cortez' men and found in Mexico; a walking cane made from flag-staff of first American flag on walls of city of Mexico after its capture; a rail from an old S. C. railroad; a petition by students of the University to Gov. F. W. Pickens, Nov. 8, 1861, ask ing that they be allowed to form a company to help defend S. C.; a piece of wood from the old tower at Jamestown, Va.; a greenback used in Fairfield county during the Reconstruction era; a Confederate officer's button and pocket in which were kept the six extra buttons al lowed each officer; a piece of car riage of the cannon that fired at the "Star of the West"; a facsimile of the Constitution of the United States. Items Of Interest For items of general interest there are: a suit worn by an alum nius of the University at his mar riage in 1858; the first model of an asparagus buncher; the first sewing machine in Columbia; an old dueling pistol; an "assegat", which is a short spear used by the Zulus. With such a weapon the prince imperial son of Napoleon III was killed in a Zulu war in 1879. And a most interesting doc ument is a list of articles lost in a trunk Sept. 17, 1863, by Mary Johnson Reynolds, wife of Major Benjamin Franklin Reynolds of the 16th Georgia - cavalry. Mrs. Rey nolds was refugeeing from Ga. into Dean Olsen Praises Jazz And Swing "Jazz will conme into its own I" Responsible for this exclamatory remark is Dean George Olson, di rector of the University band. "Classical music," said Dean 01 son, who has had thorough train ing in that subject, "has been made classical by time. Was Schubert acclaimed by his contemporaries? No! Was Bach? Was Beethoven? It takes time andl perspective for people to recognize true worth." But was it jazz? "Yes, Jazz," said the Dean. "I may be sticking my neck out but I'd like to go down on record as of the opinion that our George Ger shwin was as great as they come. Critics will agree some day." And swing, Professor? "Swing!" he said, rising from his desk while your reporter backed nervously toward the door. Then the worthy dean trucked around the desk in approved jitterbug, fashion!

Elliott, Edmund Rhett, and Leroy Youmans, in 1861. Chinese Book There is also a Chinese book with a wooden cover containing selec tions from the philosophers, loaned by the Rev. P. Frank Price, D. D., missionary to Nanking for 40 years. Dr. Price is a relative of Dr. Wau chope, professor of English at the University. There is a unique framed silhouette of Jonathan Max cy, first president of the University. A relic of more recent origin, is a bronze bust of President Roosevelt. And for humor mingled with irony there are four articles to catch your eye: a liquor bottle with the seal of S. C. blown into it and the word "dispensary" on it. This is the remains of the "good ole days" when S. C. had dispensaries; a footbaii used in the game beiween Carolina and the Citadel, Nov. 26, 1907 in which the score was Caro lina 12 and- Citadel 0. An Old Baseball Also there is the baseball used in the game of April 9, 1907, between Carolina and Clemson. The score was, Carolina 4 and Clemson 2. These are both gifts of Dr. J. Hey ward Gibbes, a participant in both games. And last but not least the skeleton of a "Hero of 1905"; no, not a person, but one just as im portant to Carolina students-a Gamecock. The remains were found in 1934 under Pinckney and Legare colleges. Colors around neck bearing inscriptions "S. C. College" and "Football 1905" at tached to a tiny football pin in Iscribed "State Fair". The "fowl" evidently ran away from too much excitAnent and attention. The above are but a few of the contents of the museum room. There are a great many more, wvhich because of their antiquity and( value, are very interesting, and more so, because the greater ma jority pertain directly to South Carolina and its illustrious histori cal background. Many delightful hours could be spent by anyone in terested in rarities of this sort and many a relic-browser will find much enjoyment in store for him here in the museum room. Each article is a veritable portrait of the p)ast and tends to open wide for one the gates of history. Journal Grows The S. C.

In this condition she entered Dr.' E. H. Law's office. "Doc", she moaned. "I. got a hurt heel." Now Dr. Law is a very agree able person and he did not want to disagree this time although Miss Fry could not produce any evi dence of the injury. "Doc," she insisted, "it just hurts." The doctor 'gave in. The treat ment consisted of one small piece of tape on the heel, which one makes no difference. Here's the story behind the story.

Chase, dean of adminis tration at the University of South Carolina, announced early this week that the improvement pro gram begun last semester has al most been completed. All the buildings have been com pletely repainted with the excep tion of Thornwell college, and new screens have been installed. New screens have also been placed in the field house and in Davis college. New doors and hardware have been placed in some of the dormitories and others will soon be completed, Dean Chase said. The renovating program in Flinn Hall is finished and the new floor in the basement of the Student Union building has been laid. In addition to the recreational equip ment already in the basement, two new pool tables will be placed there for the use of the students. The radio, absent since the beginning of examinations, will be placed in the lobby. Nobody Attends Dances%-Grumb] "Why should I have dances if nobody is going to come to them ?" Thus queried Uncle Billy \Voods when asked Wednesday if he wvas going to have any more Student Union Lobby dances. TIhe Professor said that although these dances had been very suc cessful last year and the firs't part of this year, the last two dances had been very poorly attended.

Association Student Pra A44"Gets ItA Anotber Gets Stuck On Fence The best story to come out of the storm which hit Columbia and the University recently concerns Thomas S. McMillan, Jr., son of congressman Thomas S. McMillan of Charleston. McMillan, a student at the Uni versity and a member of the fra ternity football team which was- in the baseball stand when the roof was torn off, was not feeling so well that day. Just before he went out on the field, he said, "God, if you let it rain today, I'll give you a quarter." Ten minutes later McMillan had a very narrow escape as the roof of the stand crashed around him. That night he went to Trinity Churchyard and threw in a 25 cent piece. Student In Peril Another student of the Univer ,sity, Dan Henderson of Greenwood, S. C., was climbing the fence sepa rating the baseball stands from the track when the wind reached its full force. So hard was it blowing that Hen derson could not get off the fence. He stuck there, right on top. From that position he saw the roof leave the baseball stand and the tin come from the gymnasium. He finally fell off, leaving the seat of his pants on the fence. -U. 8. C. Many Write For Yearbook The school of education at the University of South Carolina has received the largest number of con trihutions to the South Carolina High School Yearbook submitted in the five years of its publication, it was revealed this week. Contributions for this fifth annual volume of the ii)3 Yearbook have been received from thirty-four schools in nearly every section of the state. A total of 425 manu scripts was submitted, including 200 poems, 136 sketches, 80 short stories, and 9 plays. February 1 was the last day for the submission of manuscripts. The school of education plans to publish the Yearbook in April. Representation in the book is by merit alone. The judges, who do not know the names of the authors or their schools, have been asked to select a group of the best of each of the types of compositions. Student Union es Billy Woods cient to warrant continuance of the dances.. "I do not know whether I'll have any more (lances or not," Mr. Woods went on.

The Next Topic The topic for discussion at the next meeting concerns social conditions at the University, R. G. Bell, secretary of the YMCA announced. The discussion will be centered around this angle of the question. The faculty claims that there is too much social activity on the campus. According to Mr. Bell, 49 per cent of the students are engaged in some activity, while the other 51 per cent are in no organization of any sort and do nothing. What to do about this large group that has no social ad vantages is the question.
