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.
This course is essentially for the

Article By Taber In
National Magazine
Head Of Geology Dept.
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.

Dr. Strother
Gets Letter
From McNulty
Officer On West Coast
Praises Literature Of
Pharmacy Department
Dr. W. D. 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,

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. Chase, Jr., has an
nounced.

Old Fossils Found
In Texas Posture
In pasture gulleys near an e@s
Texas village, scientists have foun<
fossil remains which link this are
with the geologically important Mi
ocene period of about 12,000,001
years ago.
Dr. C. J. Hesse, assistant curato
of the Texas A. and M. colleg
museum, who, with Dr. F. E. Turn
er of the same school and Dr. H. B
Stenzel of the University of Texas
visited the area recently, found thi
fossils.
Dr. Turner found the lower jav
of a fossil horse and Dr. Hesse dis
covered the skull of a fossil beaver
The animal was related to th<
beaver, Dr. Hesse said, but wa:
larger and had many points of dif
ference. However, even in the far
off times of the stone age, it prob
ably lived in the streams and buil
dams of trees as our beavers do to
day.

Editors Explain
iyed In Appearing
Editor of The Gamecock,
Campus.
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, '
