Reviewing Legislative Affairs The South Carolina General Assembly has adjourned, but has left a matter of great Importance, among many others, unfinished. This is the question of a just appropriation of tmney for the immediate building fund for the post-war expansion of the university. To wel appearances the legislature was generous to the state-supported schools, but there were many reservations in this belated generosity. Both houses passed the deficiency and general appropria tion bill which included an amount of $1,450,000 for the University of South Carolina. This bill still requires the Governor's signature and also has another big hitch. Only 25 per cent of this money may be spent in the next two years, according to a provision of the bill. This presents a problem of simple arithmetic. Originally the bill contained $350,000 for a new university law school building. The need for a new house for the only school for South Carolinians who wish to enter the legal profession in their home state has long been known to those close to the Institu tion. Dean Prince has cited the importance of improvements now, and the many alumni knw the intelligence of his words. However, this appropriation for the law school was term ed a "clerical error" by Senator Brown of Barnwell. In the final passage of the bill, it was eliminated. Now, by looking at the 25 per cent which may be spent now from the amount "granted" the university, it is ap parent that only $362,000 is miailable. That's simply $12,000 more than i ne fnr tho low shool aloie.

Many distinguished guests par ticipated in the current series of meetings. The Hon. Gaspar G Bacon, former governor of Mas. sachusetts delivered the opening address, Sunday night on the American Foreign Policy. Colonel Bacon presented a plan which wai a straightforward statement of American policies abroad rathei than the "wishy-washy" foreigr policy we have been following. Monday morning the Council di, vided into three committees. One eommittee, headed by the Hon James P. Pope, director of TVA discussed International relationi committee, chairmaned by Dear Af the political world. The second ommittee, chairmined by Dear Bradley, took over cultural rela tions between the states of the wrorld today and the third com. nittee, headed by Mr. George TALKING ABOUT:-.

Let ie.e whe want It, take It; yes! old days when we came to the beach the ocean." OUSE views Assemblies, Con national Affairs Confei Buchanan, editor of 'The Columbia < Record, discussed International Trade. These committees were con ducted as informal forums and any one who wished to do so coula have the floor for either questions or statements. Three men from the United States Department of State worked with these forums. They were Mr. Ellis Briggs, Mr. Lloyd Free and Mr. George McGhee. These men contributed materially to the success of their committees. At the dinner meeting Monday night Hon. Silvado Bueno, Pan American Union, addressed the Southern Council on International Affairs on the adviseability of reducing tarriff barriers and mak ing reciprocal trade agreement with the American Republics. Se nor Bueno emphasized the south's strategic position and especially the port of Charleston, South Carolina. At the 8 p. m. meeting Monday, His Excellency Senor I Rafael de la Colina, the minister from Mexico, spoke to the council about the importance of trade I I with Mexico. Tuesday morning there was a continuation of the three commit tee meetings and at 11:50 a. m., Lady Worsley-Taylor spoke on Great Britain and reconstruction. 1 At the general meeting Tues- I. day morning the Southern Coun- I' d Looking Back During Term ByB: But require it for all A.B.'s, a hearty No from here. I'd just like to see the number of years re quired reduced. Then I suggested the erection of a grandstand on Davis field, and before the paper came out, work had begun. Still it wasn't quite what I wanted. Maybe I'm the homey type, but I like a roof over my head. And there's still the gripe of not being able to seei from those new bleachers. The way the Birds started the seasoni nearly made me forget we had a] baseball team, but since they've hit their stride recently, I'd still like to watch them from a grand stand. (Along about this time, I shot off my typewriter cosicerning something about which I've com pletely forgotten. Wonder what it was?) I remember suggesting some- I thing which the university is in grave need of, which would help the students and furnish recrea tion at the same time. You've heard someone say, "Hie smells like an old gymnasium," haven't] you? Well, our old gymnasium smells like a whole auditoriumj Ifull of people that smell like old gymnasiums. It's too small, too old, too dirty and a lots more. And along with that I suggest- I ed the need of more space for ath letic fields, of perhaps tearingi down Melton field's stands after the high schools quit using them, of closing Sumter Street by the gym and swimming pool, and us- I ing all that space for gym classes and intramurals. It'd help a lot. I After the Easter holidays, I wrote about elections and the fel lows that run for office just to gain a little pestige. Thr're.. no " ' I and never saw amittees, rence -- By SAM BAKER eil adopted these resolutions: 1) Resolved that we shall advocate the continuation of foreign langu ages broadcast and magazines to ountries covered by the "Iron Curtain". 2) Resolved that we should support the exchange of students and instructors with other lands. 3) Resolved that we will favor reduced tariffs and recipro :al trade agreements with other nations. The final meeting of the council was the luncheon Tuesday. Mr. Vaughn Bryant, director of public relatio'ns, the International House New Orleans, addressed this as sembly. Mr. Bryant told how New )rleans now had a free trade zone (no duties, impost, etc., until goods re actually sold and carried out) md of the possibility of South Jarolina having a similar ad vantage. The meeting was ad ourned at the conclusion of the uncheon. Dr. John McConaughy, USC pro essor, and K. C. Frazier, Inter national law professor at the Uni ersity of North Carolina are to )e congratulated on their fine work during this conference. Also ^olonel Bacon, visiting professor >f UNC and Mr. Lincoln Kan, stu lent body representative of UNC are to be thanked for their contri mtions to making this meeting of southern Council on International Affairs the great success it was. [LL ROUTH ampus elections coming up, but here will be more voting, in so lal organizations and clubs all hrough college, and then on the mutside, too. I think it's pretty rood to remember. But ..,. that's iust another suggestion. We had a little difficulty count ng votes after those elections. rwo and two kept equalling five. lo I said it might be a good idea ~o have a voting register at Caro ina similar to the YMCA files hat were used in the re-election. liminate repetition. That should e done. Then last week I came up with umothey. great idea, though, of ourse not my own. ODK proposed an Award's Day at Carolina, at rhich time all of the scholarship and other official awards pre ented by the university annually ould be given to their winners before student convocations. And o me, a consolidation of these wards is something that could rake up the student body to the act that we DO have awards here. Well, that's about it, chillun.. ['ve mentioned other things this erm, such as getting a few more anitors around, even if only to et us see these floors once a week. But my best suggestions, at least o me, I have outlined for this at epistle, and I hope you might hink back about them and give hem a little thought. Or if you have ideas of your wn, that you like better, send hem to us and.the Gamecock will telp you air them out before the tudenta. After all, that's one of he purposes of this paper. I think. So with this at an end, I bid rou farewelL. Thank. for letting ne stay here this long. It fur arised me,.too May 17, 1947 The Barter Post By PEGGY TREXLER An unfortunate incident happened recently to one of the hitchhiking students at Purdue University that should be a warning to anyone attempting to pick up a ride from now on. One of the campus boys was hitching on Route 40 in Springfield, Ohio and was picked up by a '40 or '41 Plymouth business coupe. A woman between 30 and 35 years old, ap proximately 5 feet, 7 inches tall weighing about 155 pounds was behind the wheel. After talking informally for awhile, the boy politely of fered his driver a cigarette. After his supply had run low, . she reciprocated, and insisted that he take the last cigarette in her pack. Ten minutes later he began to feel groggy, and in general, he was feeling rather dopey. Suspecting what was going on, he grabbed his bag and leaped from the car as it slowed down in small town traffic. He vaguely remembers trying to hitch another ride, and the next thing he knew he waked up in the Richmond police station. Officers report that this woman has been operating between Indiana and Ohio for over two weeks. Her tactics are usually to dope her passengers,and then to rob them. Better watch your roll if you get a ride with a woman of this description, or adopt a strictly non-nicotine policy! Beauty contest? Brains vs. personality? That depends entirely on Miss June Allyson of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Un- * der the assumption that the All-American College Man is to be found on the Indiana University campus (matter of opinion), the "Date Magazine" and the "Indiana Daily Stu dent" are sponsoring a contest to determine which, or rather who, is to be "that man". Miss June Allyson will be the final judge and will choose between eight candidates to be sponsored by the living groups on the campus. Finalists will be selected by an unlimited number of female judges and their pictures will be rushed to Hollywood for Miss Allyson's condered opinion. Students of the University of Tennessee who decline to limit "sun-bathing" to the spring and summer months be lieve that basking under the ultra-violet lights helped pre- . vent colds last winter. The ultra-violet room was open five sessions each week during the fall and winter quarters--two periods for men, three for women each week. Four persons at a time used the light. Students who attended regularly could increase the amount of time under the light each session, beginning with thirty seconds "on each side" and increasing the time thirty,j seconds-per-exposure. The maximum was eight minutes on each side. Dark glasses were provided to protect the stu dent's eyes, and use of the light was supervised by students majoring in physical education. A new club for tall people has been organized at the Uni vr4sity of Miami. Composed largely of University students, the organization is open to women over 5 feet. 10 and men . over 6 feet. The Tiptoppers were organized in Los Angeles in 1945, and in the space of two years have spread to every major city in the United States. The annual running of the Sigma Nu Theta Xi Pajama Race will be held this week at Purdue University. As in the past, the winners will gain possession of a permanent cup which has been won nine times by the Sigma Nu's and six by the Theta Xi's. The race begins at the foot of the hill between the two chapter houses on River Road. Traffic is stopped and at the Bound of the starter's pistol, the contestants, clad in gayly colored pajamas take off down the River Road. When the points are counted and the winner is decided upon, the tro phy will be placed in appropriate hands for another year. Clinic lessons for children and adults suffering from speech difficulties will be offered during the day and evening by George Washington University this summer.* Lessons will be given for persons who need training to overcome articulatory problems, stuttering, foreign accents, or speech problems caused by cleft palate. A Southwestern columnist reports a drastic revolution in amatory affairs. Psychologists, with their theory of over weight as due to frustration in love, are seeking to prove that the way to a man's stomach is through his heart and that the thing consumed by unrequited pAssion is not the lover, but the lover's ham on rye. If the new theory is accepted said columnist is predicting arnew series of love lyrics like "Full Maw and Empty Arms", ==="Heart-burns."
