Feature Editor ............................ Copy E ditor .............................. Exchange Editor ......................... Managing Editor ................ Democratic Colorful Glen H. Taylor, senator from li Idaho and recently announced running mate of Henry Wallace, will speak here next Thursday under the sponsorship of the lP. lic Affairs Fordm. A long and strong admirer of Wallace, Taylor last week accepted the invitation as vice-presidential candidate for the third party. Members of the Publie Affairs Forua at the university have explained that Taylor was not asked to come here because of his recently-accepted role in politics, but be cause of his extrovertic and vilvIos showmanship in politics which is exerpli fied in his speaking. Taylor was in*itgd 'ij to come here long before his invitation from Wallace was extended. We are glad that the administratiqn has granted permission for the senator to speak here. Even though supporting the policy and stand of Henry Wallace which is op posed by the average South Carolaa, Glen Taylor will give his views Thursday night to South Carolinians at a South Care The Need The difficult part of the W.S.S.F. drive is to make known the need. There is not a university student who would not share what little he had if he chanced upon a starving person at this university. The handicap that W.S.S.F. encounters is that only words and pictures can be used to make known the need in foreign colleges. If the students .t the University of South Carolina could only know from actual ob servation the conditions in the univerbities of impoverished countries or the great re sults from the little given in the past, there would be no need for a drive with a goal, publicity stunts, and above all the necessity of appealing to other emotions besides that of giving to help others. Even though the World Student Serice Fund cannot take American students tQ other countries and show them first-hand the great need, they do act as a direct help ing hand from American college students to their European and Asiatic counterparts.
