At. Stephan that interviewing him should be a required obstacle course for journalism nmajors before they are awarded degrees. "No", said -Prof. Stephan from behind a screen in his dining room. The reporter edged her foot farther into the door which the professor's daughter was attempting to close. "No" repeated Prof. Stephan. The reporter settled herself on the lounge. Reluctantly the professor emerged from behind the screen. The reporter licked her pencil point and surveyed the violently op posing countenance of her "vic timu". With verbal journalistic tweesers she plucked hairs of in formation from his past. Receiving high school and junior college edu cation at college jaques-Anyot and a Bachelor of Arts degree at Col lege Soisy-Sous-Etiolles near Paris, Mr. Stephan came with four other young Frenchmep to accept scholar ships to Middlebury College, Ver nont. There he mastered the Eng lish language, severely handicapped by the temerity he felt at meeting classes with girls. After teaching for a year in Tarry town on the Hudson, N. Y., he se cured a fellowship to The Johns Ilopkins University in Baltimore where he acquired another A.B. degree and 'Mrs. Stephan. In 1923 he rale to the University of S. C. and has since that year been on the faculty, an event which lie feels the University should cele brate "with presents". In addition to his teaching of French here, Professor Stephan was for five years co-director of the t'niversity Players with Vnt. S. Wood,~ 'now sering w:ih the~ Are Forces in Africa. At one time he conducted a series of radio news broadcasts but was kicked off the air for remarking that "Robert Tay ior's acting was wooden". "Hobbies?" queried the reporter. The professor raised his eyebrows with superior disdain (an expres sion common to his classroom manner). "I do not dig holes in the ground and watch little things grow, I do not roll balls around golf courses. nor do i arm myself with lethal weapons and go around killing little birds and defenseless animals. I am content to spend twenty-six hours a day with a book in my lap." The professor is fond of reading. "Mlusical preference?" \fr. Stephan's accent still hints of his native language; in clipped French tones he replied. "As be hooves a college p)rofessor, I ap preciste the classics.

'Mares-Eat-Oates I'" The reporter asked about any outstanding change in students dur ing the professor's it years at Caro lina. ''The repeal of prohibition." With sincere cxhaustion the re porter bid Mr. Stephan "adieu". "Your phoenetics are lousy", was the gentleman's parthian shot. ut with tolerant generosity we wil add that Professor Stephan is ciaracterised on the campus by a wit (well punctuated with sarcastp), an amazing insight into student psy chology, and a fascinating conti ental t113Jtner, making him an onut stan4ing favorite among campus personalties.
