Sherrill Leads I First Public Afi Committees Will Work With Literary Societies A Public Affairs forum will be held at the University of South Carolina every other Wednesday evening at 8 p. m. In the Faculty room of the McKissick Library. This announcement was made by Liz Norton and Herb Beitel, public affairs chairmen on the YW and YM cabinets, which are sponsoring the seminars. Dr. G. R. Sherrill, professor of political science, led the first dis cussion, which was held Vednes day, January 9, at 8 p. ni. The topic chosen was South Carolino government and politics, and Dr. Sherrill explained the basic facts of state government as well as leading the discussion. The same topic will be further elaborated upon during the second meeting. It is thought that students will be able to understand better all fur ther public affairs discussions with this background. Members of the state legislature will lead following discussions and answer any questions which may be asked. Discussion and questions will follow each person's talk. The next forum is scheduled for Janu ary 23. One reason for sponsoring these forums has arisen from the fact that not enough students know anything about public affairs. Liz and Herb head the steering committee in charge of this proj ect. Faculty members are G. R. Sherrill, John McConaughy, and W. A. Foran.

It was suggested by the Fed eral Council of Churches as a new type of approach to college stu dents regarding religion. The Council selected 25 colleges for the experiment, and the Uni versity was one of these. The pro gram, presented in 1940, included 12 men and women. The program had been arranged by the Federal Council in cooperation with local committees. The Council chose able speakers, for the total attendance at Religious Emphasis meetings was over 13, 000, and over 141 meetings were held. Int the Executive Commit tee's report to the Federal Coun cil, the week at Carolina was de clared one of the three best in the country. Religious Emphasis Week has now become a permanent plan for religious work at the University are Eleanor McCall, Jo Seldeman, Joyce IIetzel, Carl Stone, and Ed Murrow. The committee hopes to work with the literary societies, as its realizes, says Liz, that those stu dents will he more Interested In public affairs than any other group on the campus.

A suggestion was made at the last regular meeting of KSK that buses be secured for use by the Univer sity's athletic teams and other intra scholastic organizations. A com mittee was chosen to contact the athletic association with reference to this matter.

Librarians of the various state supported colleges of South Caro lina will meet at the University of S. C. to discuss ways of cooperation with each other on Jan. 25. 26. This will probably be the first of a regular series of meetings to be held annually announces John Van Male, University librarian. The principal topic for discussion at the meeting will be the union list of serials, and the possibility of a combined catalog of magazine files for all six colleges. This will show which colleges are subscrib ing to the same magazines, so that duplicite subscriptions can be avoided. By doing this, the money that was used for duplicate subscriptions can be used to get other magazines which will give greater variety in the state. No library has all the magazines that it calls for in this state. The advantage of this pro gram is that if a library doesn't have a magazine, it knows where It can get it. for all together they vJll subscribe to nearly all magazines published, including all govern mental publications of other states and countries. None of the libraries of these col leges are satisfied with the service that they give. One of the purposes of this meeting Is to work out a better program of service. The colleges to be represented at this first meeting are: Clemson, Citadel, and the University of South Carolina, Winthrop, Medical School, rs in a sports venture of fans.

KSK has made nirangements with the post office for the P. 0. to serve as a central lost and found department, but stu dents have failed to take advantage of this from the small number claiming lost articles. Lost and found articles as listed by the postmaster are as follows: 1 red mitten (lad.es) 1 pair red gloves (ladies) 1 pair brown gloves (ladies) 1 pair black gloves (mens') 1 brown glove (men's) 1 grey fur-red palm mitten 1 pair green leather mittens 1 blue silk neckerchief 1 charm bracelet - Margie and Charles engraved on it. 1 swimming metal and chain 1 sterling Identification bracelet 1 pair glasses-red rims in brown case 1 set biology lab tools 1 black fountain pen-Wearever 1 black fountain pen-Writefine 1 green fountain pen-Sheaffer 1 pair blackshoes-girls moccasin type 1 sky blue pink gismo with green forteries on it. Deplorable Situ As Studes Screai By HARRIET LEE There's a bright golden haze on the meadow, or should we say Gibbe's Green, as Carolina settles down to enjoy a new burst of pro gressive liberalism, a rejuvenated struggle against the age-old forces of apathy and inertia, and to reveal to the dawn of achievement her many shinning recent accomplish ments. However, try though she may to hide them, Carolina has many rusty hinges and creaky joints. Things are not all as they should be. One of these lamentable condi tions about which nothing seems to be done, exists near the very heart of the campus, and affects profoundly each of us who ever has classes In Davis college. llave you ever stumbled sleepily, but proudly up the front steps, stopped for a draught of cold water and, pre paratory to the trek up the rest of the stairs found yourself swal lowing incessantly and your nose twitching convulsively? You prob ably stood leaning against the ban nister fr several minutes, wonder ing whether or not you were hav ing an attack of epilepsy, when suddenly the word COFFEE flash ed before your mind. You probably wondered what to do next. You had found the prize; now to possess It! You pro'd and c'on'd, you hem'd and haw'd, and finally, before maladjustment (that bugaboo of the psychology depart ment) could set In, you pushed open the door. And once Inside you were relieved to find . . no-one! No-one at all . . . just a pot of cof fee perking merrily away on a little stove In the corner. Brushing aside any criminalistic tendencies, you GET THAT E THE Cl * Sandwic * Cold Dr * Cigareti * School ! * Studfa0et january ii, 'M9 Remodeled; Making Plans Room-to-Room Study Made for Entire Redecoration Flinn Hall, home of the "Y" at the University of South Carolina, must be cleaned up and refurnish ed, decided the Flinn Hall planning committee at Its meeting Monday, January 7. The committee consists of R. G. Bell; Joyce Hetzel; Ethel Lazar and Joe Hammock, presidents of the YWCA and YMCA, respectively; Esther Gregory and Buddy Riggs, YWCA and YMCA treasurer; aid Betty Knowles and Liz Norton. The committee, after a room to room study of Flinn Hall, has de cided that labor must be hired to clean the building thoroughly, drapes and rugs must be bought for the office, and new furniture bought for the entire hall. The committee also suggested that the Carnegie music room be converted into a playroom. A can teen, which will be open three nights a week to sell coffee, sand wiches, and soft drinks, will be opened in one of the upstairs rooms. The Co-Ed Association and the Ili-De-Ilo club, sponsored by the Freshman "Y" group are cooperat ing with the YWCA and YMCA in this plan. 4 Flinn Hall also needs a complete repaint job, the committee reported. Five or six girls have been appoint ed to each room of Flinn Hall to draw up plans for redecoration to be submitted to the planing com mittee for consideration. ation Arises rn For Relief looked about for someone to invite you to have a cup. Once again, you found . . . no-one. You stepped out side, looked up and down the hall, waited and waited until the coffee was almost perked away, and still 4 ydu saw . . . no-one! You searched for some utensil, however crude, from which to take a few sips of the precious and quickly wasting stimulant . . . You found nothing. Another deplorable situation that exists on campus concerns veterans who have returned to us after be ing clothed in olive drab and navy blue. Swinging the pendulum as if it were aimed at the pot of gold, they indulge in the most elaborate costumes, and the most barbaric color combinations human beings can invent! Freshman used to come to Caro lina to date convertibles with men. Now they date a blue and red bow. tie and a cute man. This corrupt practice, or dressing to attract the women, on the part of the vets, is unfair to their less fortunate bud- e dies who are still chafing undcr stiff white collars and long black ties. It's getting so that a Navy man on Carolina's campus can hardly persuade a pretty blonde thing to go howling with him, be cause she'd rather count the purple dots in a brown-haired, brown-eyed bow-tie! Arise, my fellow sympathizers!! The time has come far us to rid the sacred ground of Carolina of these two evils! The early morning enf fein temptatIons, and the bow-tie infatuations must go! Carolina's future rests In your hands! Tempest Fugit! .. . I hid three hearts, Beitel . . THIREE~ * hearts! ITE TO EAT. t !NTEEN hes inks tes upphies Deposit.ory
