Garne USC Annua 'National Dh Garnet And Black 14 Most Outstanding N The 1940 edition of the Ga the unusual honor of being ch< nuals in the country and being of the Year Club". The Univ4 in the South to be so distingui University of Alabama. Each year the National Scholastic4 Press Association chooses what it considers the best Annuals in the country and gives them an "All American" rating. The Garnet and Black was one of thirty-two given this rating last year. From the books making "All-Amer ican", ten are chosen for the "Book of the Year Club". The selection is based on personality, above all, which makes the books really interesting. "As they have studied the 1940 books, and particularly the All American", said the officials of the Press Association in the November issue of "Scholastic Editor", official publication of the Association, "NSPA has felt that some special honor should be paid to those All Americans that are personality stand outs-books that the light casual readers who don't know a thing about the individual school-yet feel as though they were right in the school. "They may be top-scoring books or they may be border-line All Americans, but to NSPA they have that which makes a year-book a real delight. . . . Congratulations to their staffs on their achievements. It must have been fun for them to turn out these charming books." The Garnet and Black was the only year-book in its class (of enrollment from 1,000 to 2,499) in the entire country to be made a member of the "Club". Dr. R. B.

How serious is the problem of class cutting? Are many college students wasting their time by failing to ap pear at lectures? How often does the average student cut a class? Those are questions that have per haps been answered locally in many schools, but a national study, as far as is known, has heretofore never been possible. Student Opinion Sur veys of America, leaving the field of social and political issues this week, has used its coast to coast structure to measure the extent of class cutting going on today on the American cam pus. The survey reveals that a good majority (62 per cent) during a typical week in October attended all their classes. The remainder of the students interviewed (38 per cent) declared that they had cut at least once. But over half of these (20 per cent) missed class only one time dur ing the week. Here are the national tabluations: Cut no classes during week......62% Cut one class ......................20% Cut two classes ........................10% Cut three classes ...................4% Cut four or more classes ....o4% Less than one per cent of the stu dents refused to answer the question or did not remember. Tests con ducted by the Surveys have shown that on questions such as this very few students fail to give truthful answers; so the results above should give a satisfactory indication of con ditions over the nation. The entire United States is represented because the schools in which the polls are conducted, including the University of South Carolina make up a pro portionate sample of all types of ed ucational institutions as listed by the U. S. Office of Education. In connection with this poll, it may be recalled that last February 64 per cent of the collegians in a Survey expressed the opinion that compul sory class attendance should be abol ished. Although the frequency of atten dance is quite uniform from one .se tion of the country to another, New Englanders and Southerners appear to be at the two extremes. In the north-east corner of the nation cuts are at a minimum, only 25 per cent of the students having missed one or more classes during the week of the poll. In the South over half of them, 57 per cent said they had cut at least once.
