Students Contribute $82 To Chinese Fund Letter Of Thanks Is Received By YMCA Last spring the University con tributed $82 to send eight Chinese students to school for one year. Since that time nothing has been heard from these students. Miss Molly Yard, executive sec retary of the Far-Eastern Student Service Fund, recently wrote to R. G. Bell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., expressing thanks for Caro lina's contribution and explaining why the Y hasn't heard from the students. It takes about a month for a let ter to reach the coast from the Uni versity where thesc students go to schuol. Then it takes about three weeks for the letter to get to Amer ica. "Studeuis should not expect more than one letter from each of the Chinese students." wrote Miss Yard. "It costh about 5c to send a letter from China to the United States, and 5c is a lot of money to a Chinaman." Carolina Offers Good Tests To Schools South Carolina schools are being offered an excellent testing program service through special arrangement with the University of Iowa, an nounced Prof. W. C. McCall, director of the University of South Carolina Personnel bureau. The Iowa Basic Skills testing pro gram for grades three to eight is conducted each year in that state. South Carolina schools may enter the program in full or in part by sending in their orders for the Iowa materials to the University of Per sonnel bureau before December 9. "Orders received later than this date cannot be filled," said Professor Mc Call. The Personnel bureau will do the statistical work. Each school will re ceive both graphic and tabular re ports picturing pupil achievement in their school in comparison with fresh nmorms, and also individual profile charts for recording each pupil's achievements. These tests of basic skills provide for the measurement, at the third to eighth grade levels, of various abili ECKERD'S Cut Rate Drug Store Creators of Reasonable Drug Prices 1530 Main Street Carolina Life Insurance Co. Soils a Policy Suitable to the Needs of Each Member of the Family INDUSTRIAL - OL.INE "It Is Better To Have It And Not Need It Than To Need It And Not Have It" Players Club Kept Busy By New Director The Thanksgiving shiftin' Roose velt has been shoved out in the cold by Prof. M. G. Christophersen, who changed Christmas for the University Players club from December 25 to September 25, though no one knew it at the time. When the genial Norwegian, who really looks like jolly ol' Saint Nick minus the whiskers, drove up to Da vis college in his battered old Stude baker three months ago, Santa Claus had come to town for dramatically inclined Carolina students. "Professor Chris", who teaches pub lic speaking and directs the dramatic club, came into his glory last week, as his .Players, trained to perfection by his masterly hand, made a big hit with their presentation of "Captain Applejack". For the first time in many moons a play given by the Uni versity Players received widespread acclaim. Christophersen, with his wrinkled shirt and disarrayed tie, has made a host of friends among the students who haunt the cloistered halls of Davis college. As a result of his magnetic personality, together with a lot of hard work, dramatics and public speaking have taken on new prestige at U. S. C. Those who know Professor Chris intimately declare that he is probably the most versatile man on the cam pus. Besides being a past master of dramatics and speech, Christophersen is an excellent carpenter. His al most microscopic home near Colum bia is filled with unique furniture, which the industrious professor has made from odds and ends gathered from all over the country. But to get back to the aesthetic side of the many sided prof. Mem bers of the Players club swear by their director's ability as a pianist. One night at Drayton Hall after re hearsal Christophersen sat down at the piano. The actors laughed, for they thought the jovial Norseman was going to cut the fool. But their merriment changed to amazement as Christophersen's chubby fingers tick led beautiful chords from the piano. All back-stage horseplay ceased as he played 3Elicq! m"ir in such a way that even the ordinary person could appreciate it. of the program is to enable teachers and school officials to become more intimately and reliably acquainted with the educational accomplishments and capabilities of each pupil, in or der that instruction and guidance may be better adapted to his individual nceds, interests and abilities. Sponsors of the program in South Carolina are: William D. Nixon, state high school supervisor, W. H. Ward, Extension Division, Univer sity of South Carolina, and John G. Kelly. The tests will be administered the latter part of January. Phi Beta Kappa has started a drive to raise a scholarship fund of $300,000 for "the defense of free dom of speech and the humanities."

Ball To Organize New Section Of AIEE Institute Will Include Members Now In S. C. Dr. Thomas F. Ball, head of the electrical engineering department of the University of South Carolina, is organizing a state section of the American Institute of Electrical En gineers at the request of Mr. H. H. Henline, national secretary. This section will include all members of the Institute now residing in South Carolina. "A petition must be signed by at least 25 members or associate mem bers of the Institute who are out in practice," said Doctor Ball. Prof. S. R. Rhodes, head of the electrical cnginecring department at Clemson college, is assisting Doctor Ball in securing the signatures of members in that part of the state. A letter with the petition has also been sent to Mr. William Boyrer, a member of the Institute in Charleston with the re quest that he secure signatures to the petition from the lower part of the state. "As soon as the names of members in the state have been secured the pe tition will be returned to me," said Doctor Ball, "and I shall take im mediate steps to submit it with recom mendations to Mr. Henline."

A. in '26 and M. A. in '28 from the University of South Carolina, who is substituting in the history department. "The students are the same, most of the professors are the same, and even the ladies still ride down Green Street and yell 'horse doctor' at the boys in the dormitories. The only change I see at the University is in the smokestack." Professor Barnwell said that was a sure sign of progression, too. "Once an old graduate came back and said, 'boy, how the old school has grown! When I was here, we just had one smokestack. Now, look! We have three!' and now I come back and find those three iron smokestacks replaced by this gigantic brick one." Questioned as to the value of pres ent day newspapers as possible his torical records, he replied, "Person ally, I enjoy reading the Washington Merry-Go Round, which is pure gos sip, more than any other of these present day papers. All my inter ests are so far in the past!" Professor Barnw6ll's hobby is his torical research on the Loyalists and Tories in the United States. When asked how long lie had been work ing on it, lie answered, "Well, you see, I started it as a term paper under Professor Meriwether and have been working on it ever since."
