Visual-Aid Bureau Secures New Film For Rental Library Service Supplies 150 Schools With Records Of Scientific Matter "The purpose of the Visual-Aid Bureau is to bring together a col: lection of education films, slides, and recordings for the school" informed Charles S. James, present head of bu reau in a recent interview. Mr. James continued to say that the bu reau was trying to promote scientific aids to learning in South Carolina.

M. Deulck, head of the department of economics at the University of South Caro lina, reached a point of satiety the other day in his classroom. Said Doctor Derrick, explain ing the point of satiety, "If you need but two suits of clothes, then you have reached a point of satiety, and you won't have another suit unless it is for a special occasion. Now I don't need a suit of golf clothes be cause I don't play golf; a tetinis suit because I don't play tennis; or a full dress suit because I'm fully dressed." Came a voice from the back of the room, "How about a bathing suit?" Doctor Derrick, note around the campus for his ready wit, answered, "I don't need a bath ing suit because I don't need .........".

The office first started on the im portant task of gathering informa tion, for records of former students at the University to be used as a foundation for contacting each indi vidual.

At the same time the several ex isting incomplete files of names are being checked with three tempo rary card files being set up by three methods, (1) alphabetically, (2) by classes and (3) by geographical lo cation. While the first complete checking of names and addresses will not be finished for many months, it is hoped that by February, 1941, the names and last known addresses of students since 1880 will be gathered into the uniform three-way card system.
