The query was, Re solved: that, the peace treaty fol lowing this war should be such that Germany and her allies of thc Axis would be crushed so that they will never be able to rike tn military or world power again. The Euphradian team, sparked by the super-sarcastic humor of Arthur Wilder and the logic of Jimmy Hill, sparred verbally against the home spun reasoning of Epting Merchant and the pleas of Joe Lumpkin which denounced the "tyranny" of Ger many, for the Clariosophics. The meeting was presided over by Pitkin Bell, visiting president of the Clariosophics. Hill and Wilder for the Eu phr:Oriin rnipt,?d ott that revenge as a policy in the last war had failed and had only bred vindictiveness. Merchant and Lumpkin of the Clariosophic contended that the Allies had been too easy on Ger many in the last war and that ap peasement resulted in the early suc cesses of Japan. The debate resulted in a two to one decision in favor of the Eu phradians. Coeds' Legs Suffer For Lack Of Silk University of South Carolina co-eds aren't complaining, but they are a little worried about what they'll wear to keep their legs beautiful when that last pair of ny lons springs a run. In warmer weather, leg make-up substituted for the all-important silk which is going into parachutes for the du ration. With colder weather in view, girls are turning to rayon, which is fairly satisfactory. Columbia shops are searched regularly for rationed ny lons, in the hope that one pair may have been shoved behind the counter and forgotten. Those fortunate enough to be of age can join the WAACS, where they will be given along with their uniforms, the cream of the 1942 stocking crop. Janitor Service HerE By KSK;_To_Report' No Special Problem Is Pressing, Members Feel Janitors service in the men's dor mitories is receiving this week a tenement-by-tenement check by members of Kappa Sigma Kappa, ionorary service fraternity. Complaints and suggestions con eerning the service of University janitors and their performance on Lhe job will be included in a com prehensive letter to University inthorities, KSK announced. Most members who took the loor on Thursday night at ttie meet ing stated the opinion that there seemed to be no outstanding gen eral problem, but each tenement or group of tenements offered separate problems that might be easily cor rected. Throughout the school year, KSK members have diseussed the need ids By OnC Shine Boy E rit Pulling C Worth Of Cash And Valuabb ated And Warns All Students 0 Marshal Ottis F.

Canteen Policy In Sims Is Explained Profits Buy Equipment, Pay For Costs, Repairs "It is our policy to spend all profit-, from the canteen in Sims College for things which are of value to the girls in the building," Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of the women at the University, said today. "The profits are not large but we try to use them to benefit the girls as best we can." Mrs. Childs said that there are many ways in which the money is spent. The canteen does not have to pay rent or electricity to the Uni versity, but does pay for the canteen telephone, the salaries of the door maid, the yardman and one extra maid. None of these were supplied by the University. Since the canteen was opened, the profits have bought a piano, a radio and pick-up set, an electric sewing machine. a refrigerator and other equipment for the non-sorority kitch en, and countless other thigs. "We are maintaining the building almost in as good condition as it was when new by 'keeping in repair' instead of 'putting into repair'", said Mrs. Childs. "Last summer we re papered the walls of 95 rooms en tirely from canteen money. All repair work on furniture has been done with canteen money. We have painted the porch furniture twice. The garden behind the building which supplies flowers for the lobby is kept up by canteen funds. Next summer we hope to finish re-papering the rooms and paint the walls." The payroll of student canteen helpers runs to $100 per month. This is pay at a rate of 30c an hour to those girls who help run the can teen. "So", continued Mrs. Childs, "the canteen justinies itself in help ing needy students." "Our prices in the canteen depend on what the wholesalers charge," Mrs. Childs said. "When they go up, we go up; when they come down, we come down. We make a monthly finance report to the University bus iness office. This report shows what has been bought, the bills paid, the amount in the bank, and an estimated value of the stock."

It was understood by KSK miem bers that no general renovation or repairs could be considered on ac count of the war, and the opinion was stated that the tenement repair situation is better now than it ever has been in the past. The completed report on the check will- be made at the meeting I next Thursday night, the service u group's regrular meetingr time. a a-VunluiUu LVO Thief .ampus 3e leved, rimes bs; Marshal Kelly Declares To Keep Room Doors Locked ued a warning to all students re oors locked at all times and at the close a series of dormitory thefts ous in the past three weeks. sually took place on the weekends )oms robbed while they were asleep hief entered rooms by way of the is were entered by the door, which Although the thief has not been identified, Mr. Kelly said he was convinced that the guilty person or persons entered tenements posing as a shine boy and, if the occupant was out or asleep, proceeded to steal what money or personal be longings he found. A survey of various tenements where robberies had been reported indicated that money and personal effects amounting to more than $500 in value have disappeared dur ing the past three weeks. Ben Johnson reported an $84 pocket watch missing from his room in the Sigma Nu fraternity house. Johnson said the watch was missing when he returned from the Furman-Carolina game Saturday afternoon.
