WUSC Officers
Adviser Attend
NY Convention
The heads of the Carolina Broad
Company, Inc., and Prof. Mackie
Quave, faculty adviser of the radio
station,-journeyed to New York to
day to attend the natinial conven
tion of the Intercollegiate Broad
casting System this weekend.
Three officers of station WUSC
are representing the University stu
dent hody at the meeting. They are
Virginia Raysor, secretary; Victor
Barrett. treasurer; and Sid Wise.
president.
The Intercollegiate Broadcastinc
System (IBS) is a national organiza
tion of campus radio stations. At
present theie are 30 member sin
tions of 1BS. Carolina's station
WUSC applied to the IBS for ad
mission early in last semester and
was granted membership on a trial
status on December 21. WUSC will
remain on trial status in IBS until
the station begins to operate on a
regular schedule.
Technical Problems
1BS experts have given unlimited
advice to WUSC in many of the
technical problems of the station.
Following is an exeerpt from a re
cent letter received by the president
of the Carolina Broadcasting conm
pany from David Linton, program
manager of IB3S: "We are looking
forwar (Ito having WUSC as a full
member soon, andt wish you good
luick in getting the station on the
air. If there is any way in which
we can help, please*let us know."
This IlBS convention is particular
ly important to WUSC because it
comes at a time when the station
is having to surmount its hardest
obstacles. WUSC officers hope to
see oilher campus stations in opera
ion and find short cuts to many
of their problems at the conven
tion, and thus profit by informa
tion which they get from other sta
tion represen tallives.

Newly elected Mayot of Columbia
Dr. Frank Owens spoke to the Pub
lic Affairs Forum, Tuesday night,
May 14. While he was speaking,
Doctor Owen: did not yet know the
results of the city elections, for
votes were still being counted.
In expiaining the methods of
nominating candidates for the of
fices of mayor and councilmen, Doc
tor Owens remarked that the Re
publicans had councilmen running
for the first time in 75 years. This
would account for the fact that
about 3,000 people would probably
vote in this election, whereas 20
years ago there were 28 votes cast
and two years ago 14 votes. "To
day Republican competition marks
an era in state poltics"--for the
first time, opposition makes South
Carolina a two-party state. "It will
definitely establish something new
--it is a debatable point whether or
not it.,is a good thing. In my opin
ion, it is good

McConaugihy
Gives Talk
To Hypatians
"Women must learn to talk intel
ligently to men." srid Mr. John Mc
Conaughy, of the political science
department of the University of
South Carolina, at the May 15 meet
ing of Ilypatian Literary~ society.
McConaughy's matn topic for the
lecture was, "Russia . . .Psycholog
ical Problem No. 1." lie stated that
England is not as strong a country
as she used to he. We now have
the outstanding fleet, and air
power. Aiso England's troubles in
Egypt and India have weakened
her considerably. Because the
United States leads in wvar produ
lion and because we possess the
atomic' bomb sec'ret, the United(
Uinitedi States must take the lead
in making sec'ure~ the peace.
Mtust Be- F"ar
"'We must be fair," said McCon
autghy, ''and Itreat nat inns just Ii ke
we treat people."
MicConaughy said that his con
sI ruct ive suggest ion fo, he'ttier re
lations with Russia would be to ask
Russia to formulate a plan for
atomic control. "We 'otuld amend
the plan, or rejec't it." McConaughy
pointed out. "But at least it would
give the Russians the feeling that
we are accepting them into the
brother hood of nations."
