Study of Natu To Be Conduc TVA to Match Al Southern State U The University of South Carolina is one of the six state universities that will cooperate with the TVA in undertaking a cooperative study of administrative agencies and pol ices relating to natural resources. The participation of the University will be directed by Dr. G. R. Sher At1, professor of political science. The board of trustees has appro priated $3,000 as Carolina's share in the program and this amount will be matched by TVA for the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation. The cooperative study will be di rected by a committee representing the universities of Alabama, Ken. tucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The General Education Board has made an additional grant to the Univer sity of Alabama to be used in this research in addition to funds pro vided by each of the cooperating agencies. To supply useful information and suggestions for the improvement of administrative organization is the general objective of the study. In order that the research may be most useful to the state, plans for the research are being discussed with the various governors and oth er state officials. The university representing each state will file a report for each state. The 'VA, with the assistance of the universities, will prepare a comparative report which will show general practices in the area. The folowing statement in reference to the project was made by the committee: "The study will he concerned with the organization and manage ment of the activities and opria tions nf plihie agencies charged with responsibilities for protecting, conserving, developing, and utiliz ing lands, forest, minerals, water, wildlife, and sceniv resources. The study as projected does not con template an inventory of the South's natural rcnurrs. Such an inven tory, while important, mist he left to other hands. The emphanis will be on administration. "Resource administraion is com1 ing to be ieengnized as an import ant phase of the economic and po litical life of the states and of the Nation. Approved policies and gmats may not, he clearly understood and defined in many instances; how. ever, it can he assumed that each state wants to adopt the policies and provide the administrative di rection that will make for the best and wisest use of its resources through the cooperation of federal, state, and locil agencies and private enterprise. "Comptehensive and efficient programs for resource administria tlon are needed in the Sout heast to perhaps a greater degree than in other parts of the Nation. Alt hough the Southeast is one of the oldest and most densely populated regions of the nation, it also has the lowest per~ capita incomes and the lowest standards of living. The seven states, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South .Carolina, and Tennessee, had 15 per cent of the Nat ion's p)opulation in -1940 b)ut received only eight per cent of the 1943 national income pay FEat SHACK'S I Made In Columbia I * FRESH DAILY PHONOGRAF CLASSICAL - POPULAR - FOREIGN - SEPIA WILSON RADI 1835 MAIN STREET CUT FLOWERS SLIGH'S I PHONE 7761 LEARN T COPELA 1409 Main Street Men's Fine: HATS - SHOES At ral Resources ted At USC )propriation of iiversities ments. In 1940 the population of these southeastern states was from 44 to 64 per cent rural-farm in com parison with 23 per cent for the United States. With 30 per cent of the rural-farm population of the Na tion, these seven states reported only 11 per cent of the cash income from farm marketings and home consumption. In addition to the low income levels in the Southeast, this region has a relatively high propor Lion of school age children to be supported and educated and a rela tively low proportion or men and women in the productive age groups. "Under these conditions, It is par ticularly important that the re sources and productive capacities of the area be used efficiently. The region is well supplied with natural resources and has an abundance of labor. The supply of electricity, im proved and transportation facilities, the climatic and scenic resources, the remarkably rapid growth of for ests, the absence of excessive con centrations of population, and the scientific progress being made in agriculture and industry are com bining to open the great regional possibilities. Ways need to be found to open the great regional possi bilities. Ways need to be found for securing cooperation in fhe think- I ing and in the efforts toward the best possible methods and techni ques for the bilanced use mid con servation of resources.

Kirkman L. Finlay of Trin ity church was officiating at the grave of the 28-year-old journalist whose life had terminated at the dawn of his career. ' Sorrow turned back the years to the time not quite a decade before when Robert entered the University of South Carolina as a sophomore. Here, "Bob," as he was intimately known, was friend of all-students and faculty alike. Amired for his beautiful traits of character and manly bearing, Bob became one of the most modest of leaders ever to be graduated from Carolina. Bob achieved popularity through his abilities as an athlete, an orator, a poet, and a writer. Perhaps his most outstanding achievement dur Ing college days was seeing the need for a college newspaper and work ing through the Clariosophic and Euphradian Literary societies to fill this need. On J4nuary 30, 1908, the first issue of The Gamecock with Bob Gonzales as editor, greeted the Carolina students and professors wit lithe editor's purpose for the paper clearly stated in his first editorial: "Now the paper will be a small affair at. first; moreover it won't he anything prelent ions, or arny1hing to brag abol; ul. it is anid will continue to lie the official orgni of the Athletic Associationi of the tUniversit., the YMCA, file two literary societies, aTd fihe whole studeiit body. It will represent tli spirit of Caro.'ra as eriblified by the Gamecock; tie spirit of "stici at-ii-iveness," of figiniing agiiail:i. odds for sheer love of the thing; the spirit of '03 that out of a sitr dent. hody of one hmindred ari( seventy-five men produt-ed a fool ball teani that defeated two of the best in lil Sti and gained glory for its college; the spirit of "never' sny die" that for a generaltion hns been called alike on caipills, ill;, mond ,gridiron, and track-the Carolina splirit.

SAVE YOUR OLD SHOES ROBERTS SHC "WE4/ CAN HELP YOU 1319 SUlMTER STREET Gonzales, t Editor ated January, 1908; e Personality Former Chief lina, interested as he. was in the act of writing, were members of an organization called the "Scribes." The club met twice a month, and I do not think that a member was ever absent. Once a month each, member read an original poem or story or essay which was subjected to criticism. The discussibns led us into many literary bypaths and lanes. Robert's knowledge of Eng lisli literature and the sureness of his interpretations were remark. able, when his youth is considered, was the vigor and grace of his writing both in prose and verse which he did for these meetings of the Scribes." Bob had more than his share of talents. Many of these he inherited from his Uncle Ambrose, president of The State Publishing company and his father, editor-in-chief of The State and later United States min ister to Cuba. Bob rapidly developed a deep understanding of his fellow students who were a lot more aver nge than himself. In the March 7, 1908. issue of The Gamecock, he wrote: "The campus is very beautiful these days witih IIe warm spring sunshine batlfing it every day, and removing the traces of winter's grime. Everything seems glorified, and the hirds sing sweetly In the trees, while the young man's fancy lightly turns to t hought s of love.
