Curren1 'Round Table Talks Monday, Replacing Groups Will Be Divide4 Discussion Of Generali Trial groups of students day during orientation period the new plan for group discus is being considered by the ext The idea for the groups number of students for some students could air their views from the opinions of others. W. H1. Ward, head of the Uni versity extension division, sent let ters to all the faculty, asking whether they would be willing to meet with such a group in an advisory capacity. Thirty-four faculty members replied af firmatively. - Plans provide for professors to discuss their special fields as they are affected by the present war. Stu dent attendance will be optional. Pro fessors will not be expected to an swer the problems presented by the students, but will merely supervise the discussion to guard against too much digression. The groups will be divided into two general classes, one type will dis cuss generalized topics while the oth er will consist of specialized discus sions. Test discussions will be held Mon day with the following professors: C. M. Ferrell, room 202 Legare; G. R. Sherrill, 204 Legare; W. M. Mc Leod, 216 Davis; Dean F. \V. Brad ley, 213 Davis; W. T. Herbert, 112 Davis; J. T. Penney, 407 LeConte; W. E. Hoy, 403 LeConte; Miss Mary O'Dell, Harper 203; Leila G. John son, 23 DeSaussure; Dean \V.. E. Rowe, 206 Sloan; J. B. Jackson, 303 Sloan; Dean J. N. Frierson, at his office in the Law building and Capt. R. A. Hall at his office in the new library. If the student response to these test discussion groups is good, the extension division plans to organize more groups on a temporary basis. These groups would meet during orientation period each Monday, a time when theer are no classes scheduled at present and one which professors and students will have open.

WALTER BRENNAN WALTER HUSTON ANNE BAXTER DANA ANDREWS Starts MONDAY roups T Poll Declares Ai Badly Prepared Gamecock Participated In National Tabulation By Al Eggerton The Gamecock, student news paper, recently participated in a na tion wide poll conducted by the Daily Maroon of the University of Chicago to determine what Ameri can colleges are doing in helping prepare their students for military service by giving them pre-induc tion military training. The survey was carried on by means of telegraphed messages to 75 leading colleges and Universities throughout the country, asking them to report on the amount of pre service training their college was giving. Results of the poll as reported by the Daily Maroon clearly indicate that the average male undergraduate is badly prepared for his life in the armed forces and that American ed ucational institutions are giving lit tle hope that he will be any better prepared in the near future. The poll was intended to deter mine how much training is avail able to college men and whether the training is such that it will give these men special Army qualifica tions. College editors reported that their schools had introduced sweeping curriculum changes after Pearl Har bor and the tabulation poll shows that 72 of the schools have started new defense courses. Several schools reported that request was made to the \Var Department to put in ROTC units or to increase the size of units already established. Military training is of two kinds, basic such as is given in ROTC schools for the first two years, and advanced training, with enrolment limitcd by the War department, such as is given for the last two years. Completion of the basic course does not make a man eligible for a comisiun in the U. S. Army. Only at the completion of the ad Moot Court Begins Next Monday Night The practice Court class of the University Law School will stage a moot trial AMonday at two p. im.in the Abney Aemorial Library on the second floor of Petigru College, it was announced by Judge A.

Mother And Five New Dionne Threats Are Resting Comfortably "It's quintuplets" stated the University Infirmary physician, Dr. Margaret Bryan. History had been made. For the first time at the Carolina Infirmary, a maternity case had been handled. Mrs. Catherine Quinn, infir mary nurse, is the proud owner of five new pups, presented to her by her pet fox terrier, Trixy. The instance was not only unique by the fact that it was the first time anything had been born at the infirmary-it was the first time quihtuplets had been born at the infirmary. vanced course are men eligible for conmissions. The Maroon poll shows that af ter war was declared, students brought pressure to bear to ge.t sonic kind of basic military training in cases where no such training was offered. A number of schools have petitioned the War departnient for ROTC units but were told that no new units would be established. Colleges and Universities were faced with the problem of giving no training at all or of giving it with out the aid of the government. In most cases the schools chose to "Defense Courses" as a compromise. A volunteer training corps was or ganized at the University of North Carolina. A voluntary two-semester course in military fundamentals in cluding the ROTC manual appeared at Wa,hngtoni 'd L. At Muhlenberg College basic training is available through a local cadet platoon.
