DeMars, Funderbu rke, IIleriot, Mor' continuedl on page 4 Professorial Fei Stephan, Chrisi By PEGGY ATK(INSON A few intimacies on a feud brew ing between the esteemed Profes sors Christopherson and Stephan of the languages dlepartment were re vealed in this same spot a few is sues back. This conflict between minds and matters has now reached the raging point, and for the good of all concerned, including poster ity, the eve has arrived wvhen some sort of compromise should be reached concerning the University Players and their~ productions. Stephan offers to translate a French play, which he thinks is 'wonderful,' this superlative ad. jective' describing the translation, and not the original French work, Stephan modestly asserts, This work is offered to the University Play ers, for their rendition, for the paltry sum of ninety-three dollars (the price has gone up in recent weeks due to the shortage of French plays.) Prof absolutely re fuses to pay anythIng for a play which he says will assail the old factory ner9e when translated, Christophersnn also mnaintains that VTeei ocat. Faculty Act On Convocation Plans Here The University faculty voted to grant students convocations at their regular meeting Wednesday night, Jan. 23. Dick Vanderveen, newly elected president of the student body, spoke briefly, stating what the plans of the student council were; there were no questions asked by the faculty, and the vote was taken. The convocation plan adopted calls for the period from 12 a. in. 1 p. m. to be set aside each Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday. The resolu. tion recommending this plan was sent to the faculty by the student faculty committee investigating convocation services. Joe Lawrence Is Carolina Post Master Joe M. Lawrence, whose appoint ment as'postmaster of the Univer sity of South Carolina was ap proved May 1. 1945, is now actively engaged at that post. Lawrence is a former student of the university, enrolled' from'1937 40. While here he majored in com merce and was active in intra-mu ral sports. In 1940-41 he was desk clerk at the office of Highway Pa trol. For the past three years he has been employed with the Co lumbia postal service. Lawrence requests that town stu dents who have not yet gotten their post office boxes apply immediate li in order to enhance efficiency of his office in posting mail. All stu dents maintaining boxes are asked to check them regularly to keep the boxes clear for subsequent notices and letters. Notice Caps and gowns and com mencement invitations for the February 20th exercises must he ordered from Mrs. Moon in the University post office during the three days January 29, 30, 31. It will be necessary to have the orders at this time to insure ei graving and printing. The invi tations will be for the gradua tion exercises only. ad Gains Momer ophersen Battl the U. Player's couldn't touc'h the play with a ten foot pole--nor even a twiev'e foot pole.' Prof sends your' roving reportei to Stephan's office because he (prof) accuses S. of being the in stigator. The latter flatly dlenies this and claims C. resented the fact that he never attends any of Chris topherson's 'lousy' productions, and that he would rather 'he caught below than seen at one of them.' Christopherson rebuked him by saying tha he probably got his 'lass to translate the play for' him, and ev'en at that, nobody knowvs WInY the play was translated. Quoting from Prof now,--"H-e tries to de duct from the probable, that which is not possible!" The feud practically reached the hair pulling stage when Stephan asserted' that Christopherson came from one of the' Scandinavian countries and he (Stephan) had taught him the very few remnants of English which he now does know. Stephen sai prof barely completed elementary -gradea, but .omehow, Ltc ions New Prexy Elections End; VanderVeen Is New President Dick VanderVeen of Muskegon Heights, Mich., became president of the student body of the Univer sity of South Carolina at a recent election.

C., and just one tenth that In Stephan's play." "It's all right wvhen the play has one ot- two murders in it---but after hearing of the fourth in Stephan's play, I was shocked, and after the tenth, I was bored- not even Al Crapone could take that! Stephan's mind is slowly (-rumbling and he is disintegrating like the blood in his plays. It Is very unethical for a man to walk downihe halls of Davils College, screaming epitaphs to his most belov'ed friend. Stephan confesses that he loves Christopherson dearly and affec tIonately like you would' love a pet weasel, and prof says he will de Vote his entire days propped up in a big- easy chaIr with a cup of cof fee, thInking of his beloved frIend Stephan, Stephan had the same parting remark, with a logical sub stitute for the eaffine. >Be Sun Convocations T< Seven Day Re] Observance Pro Religious Emphasis Week i of South Carolina from Jan each day's program during t which will be held in the chap The daily schedule will inc members and speakers, convo< noon seminars, and nightly fo Religious Emphasis Week 1 day, Jan. 27, at the First Ba by Dr. Lee Sheppard. At 5:00 reception in Sims College for Maxcy Gregg Preferred Site For Housing Recent investigation made by a committye studying veteran hous ing conditions in this locality has shown present accommodations are inadcquate for returning service men and their families. The com mittee, appointed by Mayor Fred D. Marshall. has reported the needs of the University of South Carolina over and beyond present low cost housing facilities at 165 units for married veteran-students and dor mitory space for 1000 who are single. "Since the situation at Carolina is more clearcut than it is in general in the city,." said Dean John A. Chase, a committee member, "the mayor requested that we first con centrate our efforts here." The committee has estimated that the facilities suggested would be necessarily maintained for 8 to 9 years. Four possible sites have been recommended for the construction of temporary housing units: (1) Maxey Gregg Park, including the city owned area near the Le gion Hut (for single veteran stu dents); t2) Green Street between Sumter and Bull Ifor single veter an-students); (3) State Hospital property on Bull street and Colonial drive (for married veteran-stu dents); (4) vacant portions of prop er ty in the two blocks hounded by licyward, Bull, Tobacco, and Pick ens streets, owned by W. P. 11am rick (single veteran-students). Negotiations for litigation would have to be made for the use' of Maxey Gregg Park, according to the committee report. This atrea was given to the city "to be used for a public park for all time to come". as stated in the deed. The proposed use of a block of Green street would require the cities authority to close this block from through passage. The area of State Hospital property must be ap proved by that institution's Board of Regents. Hiamrick has signified that he will agree to rent or sell his property for the emergency hous ing construction. The committee's report names Maxcy Gregg Park as the preferred location for such construction. For mal recommendations for city ac tion are as follows (derived from report to mayor): (1) Provide funds for utilities, sidewalks and streets on the sites selected; (2) Appr ove the temporary use of the city-owned two acres in Maxcy Gregg area for single veteran-stu dents dormitories; (3) Reach a decision on the utse of Green street for single veteran-stu dents dormitories; (4) Cooperate with President Smith and Dr. H1am with ref erence to the use of State Hospital properties for the temporary hous ing of married veteran-students. (5) If it is not practIcable to lo cate sufficient units on these sites, arrange for the lease or putchase of the Hamrick property, gin Lday Highlight igious gram Here vill be held at the University iary 27-31.
