Grave Disaster Growing Canyoi Sims College with all its beauty and magnificence is precariously perched on the brink of disaster and not from crumbling walls due to fissues. The new Woman's Building is even now resting quite insecurely on the very, very edge of an ever increasing canyon. One night this wieek three jour nalistically inclined young men wended their uncertain ways over the broken terrain in front of the ornate structure, intent on enlisting the services of two Sims College in habitants to help put the tired Gamecock to bed. - These young fellows were almost 8EftvING Turn PUBLro Bruca 1890 Metropolitan Cafe "The Old Reliable" WHERE STUDENTS MEET AND EAT Air-Conditioned Open All Night 1520 Main St. - Phone 7849 E SALE ON ['Y AND) FRATERNITY ONERY I - SPE -ADP -PEP,..

The Student Union Board an nounced this week that it would construct a typical Parisian cafe on the terrace in front of the canteen-if the University au thorities will pass a law pro hibiting parking cars on the brick walk. As soon as the powers-that be have 'cleared the walk therefore the way-for action, the board will have about five outdoor tables and chairs placed on the terrace. Prof. Whitey Rawl, of the department of leisure hours, will see.to it that students who love--and llve in-fresh air will be properly and efficiently served with the best the can teen has to offer-providing of course that said students have the necessary cash. There are only two drawbacks to the whole situation. What if a sudden shower should catch the outdoor diners with their parasols down? And what will happen when the ever increas ing heat of the sun begins to bear down on tender skin? Well, maybe the local drug gist will get rich and start the ball' rolling toward prosperity. Bradley Gives Subject Of Reynolds Essay Medal To Classmate Established By Dean The subject for the John Schrein er Reynolds Medal essay will be "An Analysis of the Forces Tend ing to Keep America out of the Present European War, and the Forces Tending to Draw America into the War,"'Dean Bradley an nounced today. The medal, which was founded by Dean Bradley himself in honor of his forwicr classmate, is awarded each year to the student writing the best essay concerning the World War. "However," Dean Bradley said, "In view of the present Eureopean conditions, I think this subject more appropriate, and, at the same time, it is indirectly connected wvith the last wvar." Essays are to be handed'to scan Bradley before May 1, and the m mittee reserves the right to make no award, if no essay is worthy. The prize may be either in the shape of a medlal, or of cash. In The Shape 1 Faces New C lost in the yawning chasm which' bars the way to the super struct ure's portals. But they persevered in their efforts and finally reached the comparative safety of the build mig. The three news hawks succeeded in getting their fair assistants to the waiting vehicle in safety, and all was well. But the fact remains that the lawn of the Woman's building is rapidly going with the rain. With each downpour a little more of the good earth is being transported to parts unknown, leaving an ever widening though as yet small-gully behind.

Several New Books Added To SU Library List Includes Book By Ex Nazi Leader Several new books have recently been added to the Student Union Library in the cafeteria of the Woman's Building, according to Prof. Billy Woods. The list of new books includes "The Voice of Destruction" by Her. man Rauschening, former President of the Danzig Senate and close con. fident of Adolph Hitler for three years. Rauschening broke off with the Nazi leader in 1934. As a close friend of Adolph he watched the Nazis spin the web which was to entangle Europe in its tragic fulds. From seeing, hear ing and thinking he gained enough material to write "The Revolution df Nihilism", which predicted the Russo-German pact and pictured Hitler as the prophet of nihilism intent on the downfall of Western civilization. Doctor Rauschening's new book is less penetrating than the nihilism treatise, but it is far more shocking.. It gives direct quotations of con fidential talks with Hitler. The new book shows Hitler to be a crazed, power drunk, demon. Dan Millsaps Left Off All A List By Mistake Inadvertently the name of Daniel Webster Millsaps, Jr., Carolina senior from Darlington, S.
