Seldon Will Not Issue '45 Volume Society Preserves Legal Documents The Seldon Society of the Law College furnishes Law students the means of preserving legal docu ments of importance and of ex changing these with law depart ments of other schools. This society was founded in 1907 as a literary club, and in 1907 the first Seldon Society Yearbook was published in order that law students might preserve research articlcs. The booklet appears once or twice yearly. The society was named in honor of an English barrister, and a sim ilar organization by the same name still exists in England today. Its purpose is the same as that of the Seldon Society on our campus. War-time restrictions have cur tailed the publication during the last years. Morris Mazursky, law senior from Sumter said, "The principle trouble with publishing the Year book has been due to lack of finances because of the reduced number of students able to attend the law school." Morris went on to say that at least one issue will be printed this year. Past editor was Francis Marion, who graduated in June. The new editor has not been elected. Student members of the editorial stalT are Norman West and Mrs. Jean Grist Brown. The last issue of the Yearbook, which appeared in 1944, contained these articles by law students at the University: "Constitutions in South Carolina" by Norman West, which traced the seven constitutions of South Carolina between 1776 and 1875; "Spendthrift Trusts in South Carolina" by Edith Pratt Breeden, and "Partial Assignments" by Sarah L. Graydon. Two members of the South Carolina lBar Association also contributed to the Yearbook.

Senora de Munoz is on leave from the University of Puerto Rico, where she is Director of the Bureau of International Relations, to pro mote better relations between the countries of the two Americas. Senora de Munoz was born in Raymond, Mississippi, but spent most of her childhood in a frontier town of Oklahoma. She attended Blue Mountain College in Missis sippi; the University of Oklahoma, and was graduated from the Uni versity of Mississippi at the age of 18. After graduation she taught school for four years; and then ob tained a position as government translator in Spanish, Portuguese, and French in New York. While working in New York, she met l,ius de Munoz Marin, a young Puerto Rican poet and journalist. They were married in 1919, and lived for a while in New York, where their home was a gathering place for literary circles. After a stay of several years they returned to Puerto Rico, where Senor de Munoz is president of the Puerto Rican senate. Senora de Munoz is one of the foremost advocates of better re "CurfewShallNot Ring Tonight"As StudiesGommence The telephone rings, and the girls who surround it, fight for the chatec to answer. Yes, this is Sims Col lege. Two girls finally wiln, and talk for five minutes only to slam down the r:ceiv"eY yel. and (dashi madly down the hall. Co-eds pop out of rooms to see about the excitement, and shout questions, but the girls run on losing slippers and house coats in their trip down to the other end. At last they return to explain; "It was Bob", says the recipient of the call. "lie hasn't called me in ten (lays and I guessed six other people before him. I amn ruined." There is quiet for a while until someone watts to play. Into the hall go two girls, with tennis racket and balls to improve tneir form. Unfortunately the form is not so good and most of the shots miss. Straight into the opei doors of all the rooms the balls go endangering girls and property, and interrupting study. Angry shouts make the ath letes re-consider and they return to their own room to bounce the balls between wall and screen. The thud thud in regular rhythttt aids in coIn cntrating.

C. lationship between North and South America. She was the first woman to address a Pan American Con ference, and she served as Director of the Commission of Public Re lations and Information for that body. She is also on the council of the World Woman's Party, which advocates equality for women. In addition to her participation in politics and world affairs Senora Munoz believes that better re lations between the Americas may be gained by sharing other things besides ideas. Her lecture repetoire includes the political and geograph ical aspects of Puerto Rico and the poetry and literary work of South America. According to Senora de Munoz, culture may be divided into smaller things. She advocates the sharing of books, songs, and even receipts among the American coun tries; in the same spirit which dear friends would have. Versatile is the world for Senora de Munnz, for along with her other duties; her home life and the care of two children, she has found time for writing and translation. She is well known as a lyric poet and a writer of children's literature, and has made maity translations of South American works into Eng lish. Perhaps Senora de Munoz, herself, born in the United States, and a loyal native of Puerto Rico by adoption is her best argument for North and South American unity and friendship.

H ow great an in terest do they have in the affairs which concern directly their sweet hcarts, brothers and friends? In ordecr to dletermline this fact a suir vey was mnade in the halls of Sims dlormitory. The girls were stopped and asked this question: Where and whai~t is Berchtesgadcn? These were the results of the sur vey which presented a question about a name which has made in ternational headlines for about ten years. Six girls replied that it was Hit Ier's retreat in the mountains in South Germany. They knew that from this place the core of German guerilla warfare can be expected. Four co-eds knew that Berchtes gadlen was somewhere in Cermany andl had something to do wvith Hit Ier. Fifteen girls had never heard of the word and had no idea what it stoodl for.
