"My definition of freettom of the of

Doctor Carr received the degree

Military Service
And Defense Work
Spread USC Grads
Alumni Office Operates
Double Time To Trace
Addresses Of Army Men
"With well over half of the Car
olina alumni within the draft law
age limits, and with many more
being affected by the national emer
gency," the alumni mailing job has
become the biggest job in the asso
ciation's history. "In fact," said
Ralph E. Lewis, secretary, "we now
have grads in every county in this
State, every state in the nation,
every continent in the world, on the
sea, under the sea, and in the air."
Carolina alumni are to be found(
in every branch of the military serv- F
ice. From admirals to common
seamen, and from generals to pri
vates, former USC students are
serving in Uncle Sam's navy and
army. The marine corps, the air
corps, and the coast guard, all have of
names once called in University th
classrooms. fa
Besides the military arm of de- sc
fense, Carolina men and women are
serving their country by research sti
and technical work in defense in- m,
dustry. Former coeds are employed an
in Washington by the government. tei
One is working for the British Pur- M
chasing Agency and others hold in
positions in other vital places. in
Changes of address, particularly
of those grads in the army and navy, fri
have become so numerous that of
keeping the mailing list up to date th
requires the full time of one of the pu
hardest working men on the Uni- is
versity administrative staff.
"Very often we have cases like i
this," said Lewis, "An alumni will M
send us notification of a change in :
his address, and by the time we re- th.
ceive his letter, and mall a reply, he soi
has left the new address for places po
unknown. Then, later, we hear Ai
from him in some place like India." Y<

Morganthou And
Callcott Differ
On US Finance
Reporter And Rat
Puzzled By Such
Intellectuals
A University of South Caro
lina professor and the secretary
of the treasury of the United
States of America hold con.
flicting views on the question of
inflation.
A freshman history student
and a Gamecock reporter are
in accord on the question
they don't know what its's all
about.
Dr. W. H. Callcott, professor
of history, asserted today that
Inflation cannot spccessfully be
kept down.
Henry Morgenthau, secretary
of the treasury, explained in
a letter to Dr. Francis W.
Bradley, dean of men, that in
flation could be overcome by
the use of savings bonds.
The freshman and the re
porter agree again that it's a
very puzzling situation.
"To be fair, a ceiling must
be placed on labor as well as
capital-on everything that ex
ists," Dr. Callcott said. "To
place a ceiling on everything is
hardly possible."
"We pledge that the admin
istration will do everything
humanly possible to prevent in
flation," Mr. Morgenthau stated
in a speech which he enclosed.
He offered the defense savings
bond as a means,by which the
cooperation of the 130 million
American people could solve the
problem for themselves.
"What is inflation?" said the
freshman.
"I don't know," said the
Gamecock reporter.

Students Asked To

Campus Salesmen Must
Have Permits To Sell
Goods To Student Body
We need the cooperation of every
student in order to enforce the
Board of Trustee's ruling on the
authorization of solicitors on the
campus," John A. Chase, Jr., dean
of administration of the University
of South Carolina, announced today.
Students should, for their own
good, demand to see a solicitor's of
ficial permit from the University t
before obligatitig themselves in 1
any manner, D. Chase said.
To prevent unauthorized solici
tation, the Board of Trustees, in a
meeting during the summer of
1940, passed a resolution requiring
ty solicitors to obtain a permit from
to the administration.
ia Mr. Chase pointed out that the g
al board took this step to protect the
students, who should help make the a
:fmove effective by doing their part. e
t- If students will notify the mar
id shal's office of unofficial solicita- (I
s- tion, appropriate action will be a
Y- taken.
es The resolution as passed by the I
eC board was:
te "Beginnfing with the session 1940- 1l
t'41 and until further instructions by n
Ithe Board of Trustees, all solicitors v
on the campus or in the dormitories, n
it soliciting for any purpose or cause, v
shall be required to secure an of- s
ficial permit for such solicitation, s
said perniit to be issued by the ii
president of the University or in g
his absence by the dean of adminis
at tration, or in the absence of both tl
r- the president and the dean of ad- f,
a ministration, by the manager of the
.n University Cooperative Stores; such c
w permit to be issued only after y
thorough investigation has been ,.
i. made of the validity of the pro- c.
e posed solicitation."
i- In past years many "down-pay- c
a ments" schemes presented by sales- N
a men to students have resulted in F
loss of money to lare groups. I
