Library Surv Students Dot New Books 1 Dr. Louis R. Wilson, formerly dean of the graduate school of the Univeralty of Chicago, and Dr. Morse F. Tauber, associate librarian of Columbia University, completed a survey of the University of South Carolina librarian Feb. 9. They held meetings with the li brary staff, faculty members, and various students. The library staff prepared statistical tables for the conferences. That the libraries did not let the students know which new books they had received proved to be the principal fault of the libraries, ac cording to the students interviewed by Drs. Wilson and Tauber. This week, Dr. Wilson and Dr. Tauber are preparing a report, in which they will discuss their find Ings and make recommendations for improvements and reclassifica tion. These recommendations will be for the three libraries on the University of South Carolina cam pus: The McKissick Memorial Li brary, the Caroliniana Library, and the Law Library. They will prepare a final report which will be mimeographed and put in booklet form. Copies will be sent to the various departments of the University, members of the administration, and schools through out the United States. The edition of this booklet will probably be large enough that some will be put on sale. One section of the booklet will be devoted to reclassification. The General Education Board of South Carolina gave the University $2,150 for reclassification purposes of the McKissick Memorial and Caro liniana Libraries, which led to the survey. By the time the booklet is published, however, the reclassifi cation project will have been com pleted.

Among the things mentioned by Mrs. Hawkins were the social and educational as pects. She encouraged the society to have a program calendar by which they could map out the programs for the entire semester. Debates and book reviews were two types of programs suggested by her. Mrs. lawkins said that literary societies should develop Intellect nial curiosity which is too lacking on our campus today. Discussions of art as well as literature should be carried on in the meetings. The last point brought out by Mrs. Hawkins was that member ship in a literary society should arouse girls to have a cultural at mosphere about their own homes. This fact, noted in books, art, musical instruments and the like, are most essential to a successful home. During the business session, Ludy Martin presided and 25 new memhers were initiated. Newly elecled officers w('e also installed. Ilypatian Literary Society is the oldest woman's literary society on the campus. During the past semes ter it has helped sponsor the newly organized Carolina Review, heard professors, and given several get togethers. New president is Ilarriet Lee. She and the other officers. who were installed Feb. 13 are plan ning to continue the Society's activi ties on the literary and cultural level. aundry d iing Co.

Our classroom facilities today are practically the same as' they were when I was an undergraduate in 1914. Only two class room buildings have been erected since that time, and in 1914 we were proud of our enrollment of 350 students." The University is probably the only institution in the nation where the original matriculate could come back and feel perfectly at home," the alumni president declared. "We have a great tradition, but you can t eat tradition, hathe in Iradition or study in tradition." No Pressure Group Mr. Jeter cautiioned students and altunni that they should not act as a pressure group to force the general assembly's hand. but that Ihey should call the atIention of legislators to the urgent needs of the University and familiarize them with conditions as they now exist on the campus. The University's building pro gram must be carried out if the In stitition is to fulfill its primary mission which is servce to the NtIate, Mrl. Jeter Naid.

Spearheaded by a group of 33 law school students, the univetu sity's approximately 200 returned veterans won legislative acceptance of their demand for year-round classes at the University. demon strating their latent political influ ence on state politics. Starting from scratch, the veterans by the end of the week had secured unanimous approval from the house and sen ate for a continuous program of education at the university. The senate finance committee even agreed to include a proviso in the general appropriations bill on which it was working directing the university to continue its acceler ated academic program for the vet erans. The law students appealed to the house education committee for hacking in their request of univeN sity officials and trustees for the continuation of the accelerated pro gram so that they would not have to remain idle this summer, they said, and could complete their pro fessional training in the shortest possible time. t her state inst it ut ions as Clem son and The Citadel wolid not nee es'alrily be required to participate in Ithis accelerated program, said ieprwesentative Tom Hf.
