You don't have to be bgrn in New Or leans, and you don't have to have played swing in a smoky Chicago (live; but being the son of a musi cian in The Czar's Imperial Orches tra doesn't seem to have impaired the success of slove-eyed, hot jiver Jan Savitt. Carolinians will have a chance to hear him Thursday night, December 19 at the German Club Christmas dance. Savitt was carried into America at the age of 18 months. High school honors and college scholarships poured in but Victor Herbert, Mischa Elman urged him to hold to his violin. He did, and has been celebrated as concert master of The Philadelphia Symphony under Stokowski and as one gf America's first rank violinists. And four years later, the heading in a swing magazine read, "Sym phonic Savitt Savvys Swing." When asked about this remarkable switch he said, "Because I am an Ameri can. Because this music you hear is the tempo and feeling of America." At the Cleveland Trianon, they played to 2,400. In Boston's State Ballroom, following Artie Shaw, they broke all records. In short, Jan Savitt and his Top Hatters are "right" in the swing world today. "We have a style," Jan says, "and the guys like to play music." Savitt plays at this dance through arrangements with Music Corpor ation of America. Letter To Editor December 11, 1940. Mr. Paul League, Editor The Gamecock. Dear Paul, Through the columns of this paper I would like to renounce all affilia tions with one Clariosophic Literary Society. I was appalled last Tues clay night by the type of persons the venerable Society lets take part in its meetings. Belittlement of one's former alma mater, whatever or wherever it may be, is, in my esti mation the smallest of small beer. And I haven't time for that particu lar brand of small beer. I shan't consider my initiation fee a total loss. May it he used to start a fund so that the various members of the Society can, at their pleasure, go dlown to a certain other Southern university and earn a great, big, shiny letter by dIrying cups in the school cafeteria.

"In Bristol the shelters are hardly ever filled." Commenting on his impres sions of Carolina he said that he has had genuine pleasure in finding the student body so friendly and without formal ity. He said that being in South Carolina was just like being home, because of the accent and "good old English names." "I was delighted with my re ception at the Euphradian So ciety Tuesday night," he said, "and with the ability with which business and discussion were conducted. It reminds me of the literary and debating so cieties at Oxford, which are much younger than the Eu phradian-incidentally." Doctor Mowat is serving as visiting professor for the Carne gie Foundation for Internation al Peace. He is one of the world's ranking historians, hav ing written thirty-odd volumes on European history and for eign relations. This is his fifth voyage to this country and he said that he con sidered the United States as his "second home". He has taught at the University of Wisconsin for one year as an exchange professor on a pre vious visit. Doctor Mowat will be here for the entire month of Decem ber and will remain in Colum bia for the Christmas holidays. -LIBRARY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) The lighting system will be most modern.
