Four Ne Classes In Criminol Entirely New; Oral Typing Open To Other Nurses' Aides And 0 At lepAt four new courses with a4 probability of a fifth, placing increased emphasis on preparation for war ef fort. will be added to the curriculum of the University when it opens its doors for a new semester the last of this month. Dean F. W. Bradley, chairman of the committee on new courses, announced this week. Three of the five subjects kave been offered with some variance in the past while two in safety and criminology are making their debut on the campus. Criminology, being undertaken by the department of sociology, will be a three credit lecture course of fered to juniors and seniors and taught by Dr. G. C. Williams. Dr. Williams said this week, "Our pur pose in making it available is to pro vide trained men which are needed so badly in this type of work for the government." Dr. Charles H. Waterfall has an nounced that he will conduct a class in safety next semester if enough students sign up for it within the next two weeks. This elective class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at ii o'clock, and will in clude instruction in first aid, safety, and protection of towns in wartime. French 42, a course in vocabulary of everyday words and military terms and their proper usage with special oral emphasis will be taught by Madame Grace Sweeney. Madame Sweeney described it as being pat terned after the foreign area course begun at Yale university in which the student is prepared for civil serv ice or some other government work as well as acquainted with the habits, governments, and geography of the nations about which he is studying. As a pre-requisite the completion of French 22 is desirable but exceptions may be made by conferring with Madame Sweeney. A nurses' aide course, initiated suc cessfully the second semester of last year, will probably be renewed if a vacant room in Sims College can be used and if enough beds and equip ment obtained. The course will be under the supervision of the national Red Cross, and will be open to jun iors and seniors. It will consist of 84 lecture hours, and 15o hours hospital training, and will offer three credits.

Writes For "Science" An article on the production of saltpeter in the south during the Con federate war, written by Dr. Stephen L. Taber, head of the University of South Carolina's geology department, appeared iq the December ii issues of Science magazine. Saltpeter used in manufacture of gunpowder for the Confederate army was outained tnrough a special agency, known as the Niter and Mining bu reau, with Col. I. M. St. John as its chief, Doctor Taber stated. Dr. Joseph LeConte, then professor of chemistry and geology at South Carolina college (now the university), was appointed chemist for the bureau with the rank and pay of major, Doc tor Taber's article states. Doctor Le Conte said that his job was "to test all nitrous earth, whether from caves or niter beds" and that he "visited all the niter caves in northern Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, all the niter beds in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama...." The largest niter bed, according to Colonel St. John, was situated at Columbia "with 45,000 square feet of surface under cover of open sheds. Here 122 laborers were employed, with 12 horses and 13 mules. "The importance of the nitriaries is evidenced by the fact that the appli cations of the officers of the Mining and Niter bureau for transfer to field Iservice were denied and by the fact that conscript labor was used to sup plement the work of slave and volun teer labor," Doctor Taber pointed out in his article.

Strother, of the Uni versity of South Carolina pharmacy department, recently received the fol lowing letter from one of his former students, Lt. Robert B. McNulty, class of '33: "No doubt you are wondering what I am writing to you about. I have been advertising your extension de partnient program out here on the west coast and have a request for some of your literature. "Was talking to the officer in the prescription department at the station hospital here, and he was very in terested in the formulary that the University pharmacy department has sent out to physicians in the state. If you will send me a copy, along with anything else that you think interest ing, I would appreciate it very much. The officer was most interested in the prescriptions simulating proprietary medicines." Lt. McNulty is in the Army Medical Corps at Ft. Lewis, Washington. Some time ago, the pharmacy de partment sent a number of bulletins through the extension division to doc tors and pharmacists in the state to show a comparison of price between drugs sold under brana names and the equivalent official drugs the phar macist can prepare. The purpose of this state-wide in formative service was to promote a better understanding between the physicians and the pharmacists, to encourage rational prescription writ ing, to promote ethical pharmaceutical practices, to discourage substitutions, '1-1d reuethe -e-tf prescrilpti:ons. Clark Makes Over 700 Lectures In 16 Months Students now cursing the inveiion of exams, and groaning un* the unbearably heavy schedule of five exams in eight short days, take note of the schedule of Dr. Harry H. Clark, extension division professor and lec turer. In the last five days Doctor Clark has made 13 speeches speaking to audiences of high school students, junior high school students, o-phans, Parent-Teacher Association members, Daughters of the American Revolu tion, United Daughters of the Con federacy, business men, young ma trons, University students, and a church congregation. Any student who feels he could carry through such a schedule better than facing exams should take the following steps: inform your profes sors so you may be exempt from all exams; inform Dr. Clark that you plan to take over for him; write the speeches and learn them; report to the end of Bull street as it is certain you will be by that time either a gib bering idiot or a reasonable fac simile. Father Mackin Speaks In Chapel Last Tuesday Father Thomas K. Mackin, pastor of the St. Francis de Sales church in Columbia, spoke to the student as sembly in the University chapel last Tuesday on "Aspects of Religion". Father Mackin urged students to be positive in their beliefs no matter what their faith was. The person who is broadminded to the degree that he eccepts anything soon gets to the place where he sincerely accepts noth ing, Father Mackin said. New students enrolling for the first time at the University will report on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 9 a. m. for pre liminary testing. These tests will be given in room soi of Harper college, Dean John A.

Dear Sir: Due to the late publication of the Blue Key Directory the editor and business manager thereof, deem it ad visable to enlighten the students as to the reason which caused such late publication. Because of increased printing costs and the unavailability of a printing firm which could meet our financial means and at the same time meet the schedule for publication, we were forced to choose between either seek ing some other financial assistance or a having a slightly later date of pub lication. We chose the latter of the two measures in order to keep the directory entirely a Blue Key ven - ture. The Blue Key Directory is the only student publication which re ceives its finances wholly through the channels of advertising. We, the editor and the business - manager wish to express our regrets to the students for being unable to t present the directory to them at an. - earlier date. We ask that any criticism of the publication be directed toward us and not to the Chaper as a whole. Sincerely yours, Frampton Toole, Editor, ' John McGowan, Business Mgr. First Lieut. R. M.
