Building Discussed
Most of the morning session of the
board was devoted to consideration of
the building program, financial re
ports being made on various projects.
The trustees referred to the build
ings and grounds committee, with
.power to act, the question of obtain
ing locations for new tennis courts
for students.
In his report to the board, Presi
dent McKissick declared that "I here
and now record my gratitute for the
unfailing consideration, cooperation
and confidence given the president
of the University by every member
of the present board."
McKissick Against Change
"If I had power to make changes
in the personnel of the present board,"
he continued, "I would not make a
single change. Loss of any of them,
and particularly of those members of
the general assembly who have ren
dered immeasurably valuable service
to the University in that body, would
immensely injure the welfare of the
University and impede her progress
in the service of the people of South
Carolina."
President McKissick told the
board that the new University library
probably will be available for oc
cupancy in September, 1940, "if the
present rate of progress is main
tained."
Other items covered by the Uni
versity president in his report in
cluded: need for establishment of a
placement bureau for graduates; in
stitution of correspondence courses
under the extension division; the ci
vilian pilot training program now be
ing carried on.

Dr. L. T. Baker, dean of the faculty,

quested him to compile annually a re
port on research, publications and
extra-curricular activities of mem
bers of the faculty.
The board also thanked R. G. Bell,
executive secretary of the University
Y. M. C: A.. the Committee of One
Hundred, the churches of Columbia
and the national Univesity Chistian
Mission for the University Christian
institute recently held on the cam
pus and expressed the hope that the
idndertaking be continued in some
form.

Chase, Jr., dean of administration,

Adopb. Theatrical
Schemes In Clasrooms
BUFFALO, N. Y.-(ACP)
Showmanship and the techniques
of the theater are coming into their
own in the educational system-at
least they are here at the Uni
versity of Buffalo.
And, of all places, it has invaded
the economics classroom, where this
university's professors are teaching
the ins and outs of the economic
system to freshmen by posiing as
financiers, legislators, salesmen or
laymen in acting out the legsons of
the day.
With plots that are devised be
fore classtime, the professors enact
typical scenes from the world of
business, government and finance.
The advantages of this new kind
of teaching procedure are summed
up by one of the professors in these
words: "This technique keeps the
subject alive. Every three or four
lines there is a change of voice and
a change of pace. We aim for a
balanced presentation. But even if
the scholarly analysis were not in
cisive, the mere mechanics of the
presentation would keep an audi
ence awake."

Initials, Autographs
Adorn Old Library .
The practice. of carving initials
and autographs continues through
the years, as is evIdenced by the
front of the library at the Uni
versity of South Carolina.
The crumbling mortar between
the- library's bricks bears names
written there as early as 1850. The
left side of the front seems to be
the years, 'as is evidenced by the
Names are followed by dates vary
ing from the 1800's up through the
time of the world war. A sprinkling
of present day student's names also
adorn the mortar.
On the left side, up about six
feet, can be clearly seen the name
"J. A. Stoddard, '98". Doctor Stod
dard, now dean of summer school,
evidently left this autograph while
a student at the University 40 years
ago.
Names such as Oscar LaBorde,
1901, E. W. Scriven, '98, T. 0.
Ott, '00, and R. A. Chandler, '01,
bring back memories of classmates'
faces to Mrs. Lueco Gunter, li
brarian at the University, and the
only girl in the class of 1900.
Mrs. Gunter remembers E. W.
Scriven, 1898, as an outstanding
figure on the campus-literary
minded, witty, and clever.
Of the 1,500 different types of po
sitions for which the U. S. civil ser
vice commission offers examinations,
and Villanova each placed two men
on the all-opponent team, with
only approximately 200 require a col
lege degree or its equivalent.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
weeks 'now, members of the
staff have been grilling a young
lady from Charleston, Who,
for obvious social reasons, will
not admit on which side of
Broad Street she resides.
Also playing a part in the de
lay, correspondents say, is the
Russo-Finnish war. One stu
dent is a native of Finland, and
the staff must await the results
of the current struggle to ascer
tain whether the student shall
be listed as Mister or Comrade.
