Society Of Liberal' Full-Formed From Group Will Considerv Do Student; Decries Non A new society has sprung i unique position among the nin the docket of student activity. V The Society of Libertl Thou kins, arts and sciences junior, general trend of all campus gr Atkins announced the inception of the society today and explained prin ciples and aims it would stand for. Liberal thought on the campus is dy ing, according to Atkins, and this new group has been formed for its preser vation. Student opinion on questions of note should be considered by the fac ulty and administration, he asserted, and is not now being given due con sideration. The administration is not giving the students credit for any reasoning power, the group holds, and does not seem to realize that the student is an extremely important factor in any ed ucational institution. Serious-minded, culturally accented spokesman Atkins is not kidding when he says something. Atkins is known to his friends as a man who makes up his mind and keeps it that way. Campus wags have already begun to make disparaging remarks about the society and its purpose. His description of the society is: "A group of students who believe such a society is necessary in order to acquaint the University faculty and administration with student opinions of various actions pertaining to lib eralism and a democratic way of Uni versity life." Atkins stated the aims of the so ciety: 1. To preserve liberal and construc tive thought at the University. 2. To acquaint the faculty and ad ministration with student opinions of administrative actions. 3. To constructively and justly crit icise what we consider to be adverse actions of University officials. - 4. To impress upon the administra tion and faculty the fact that the stu dent is an extremely important fac tor in any educational institution. 5. To impress upon the administra tion and faculty the fact that the Uni versity is molding future leaders of South Carolina and should therefore consider and respect the opinions of these future leaders. 6. To make all efforts to preserve a distinct and individualistic form of democracy in the University. "The society is open to any student of the University and to any member of the faculty or administration," At kins said. Suggestions and opinions brought forth in the open meetings of the so ciety will be made public after each meeting.

V Silence Greets Professor When Late In Class Silence Also Reigns When He Asks For An Explanation Of Sin By Ginger Trapp He was the professor and he arrived approximately 15 min utes after the hour on the scene where his class was supposed to be. Rows of empty desks and si lence greeted him, and after ten minutes he concluded that the rovm's uninhabited state would probably continue until the next class. So he, as his 30 young men students had done earlier. left. Two days later, arriving on time, the professor murmured "good morning" to 30 of the season's current fad, the dead pan. "When I got here 15 minutes late for this class Friday you had departed," he remarked to poker-faced class. Having nothing to say, the young men said nothing. "Gentlemen," the prof added, "I wouldn't have treated you like that." StiR having nothing to say the young men kept on saying nothing.

C. McCall, personnel director. It is estimated by the bureau that approximately 33,000 scores were recorded by use of the electrical scoring machine. This figure rep resents some 22,000 papers, some types of test offering more than one score. The number of tests scored this year represent a marked increase over last year, with many colleges broadening testing programs for new students and some schools us ing the program for the first time this year. Pioneering in the placement test ing field, the University now pre sents a group of ten widely varying examinations to determine t h e achievement and abilities of new students. Winthrop College and Carolina lead in the length of the program presented, and work in conjunction, using the same exami nations. Next to these two in number of tests given is Columbia Bible Col lege with eight. Although the Cita del overshadows the smaller school greatly in number of pupils tested, the new cadets in Charleston are given only six tests. South Carolina colleges using bureau facilities are: Citadel, Win throp, Carolina, Furman, Limestone, Converse, Newberry, Lander, Ers kine, Columbia Bible College, Coker, Anderson, Presbyterian, and Wofford.
