The members presented the sit uation to Admiral Smith in a forth right manner and the credit for clearing up the date ticket ques tion should be given mainly to them," he added. The members of the committee are Bill Jones, chairman, Rock Yarborough, Spruce McCain, Wal ter Smith, and Sol Abrams. Anderson also said that if all the students will cooperate with the fifteen student assistants who will be shoving the spectators to their seats in the stadium, there will be plenty of room for every one. "Three of the committee miem hers and myself went out to the stadium Friday morning, and we found that four persons can be seated comfortably in three seats. They will be rather crowded, but not to such an extent that will in terfere with their enjoyment of the game," Anderson said. McKissiek LUibrary Is Bestaq(juipp,ed in South Carolina The McKissiek Library is one of the best-equipped libraries in the state but John H. Lewis, the library's circulation head, says that it is still lacking in every field. "We're best equipped in Eng lish literature while our weakest spot appears to be in science ma terial," Mr. Lewis stated. The cir culation chief added that it seem ed to be a tendency for professors to ask more regardless of how well the library was equipped. Losses come mostly through mu tilation and as yet there has been no satisfactory remedy to the problem. Students tear out as many as 10 pages at a time In order to get their assignments from books and periodicals. Re placements for periodicals are practically impossible, Mr. Lewis said, but moat books are fairly easy to replace. Wache Dilamonds B.B HARMON Watch, Clock and Jewelry Repairing.

Freshmen Elect Committee Heads At YMCA Council The Freshman "Y" Council met last week and elected committee chairmen for the term: Lacoste Munn, worship chairman; Norma Bergman and Jay Quick, member ship chairmen; Betty Wilson, fi nance chairman; Bob Naylor and Olga Edwards, program chairmen; Joe Groomes and Dick Polen, project chairmen; Charles Merritt, personal aid chairman; Eugene Rogers and Jimmy Cordell, pub licity chairmen; and Toni Leppard, Barbara Fowler, social chairmen. The program of the Freshman "Y" Council for the year will cen ter around problems facing the freshmen. The current project is to be keeping the children at the Carovet apartments when their parents go out. LoCKSmith1 Works With Room Keys Lost By Students H. L. Benedict, locksmith at the university for 32 years, said that students' loss of dormitory keys is an everyday occurence. "The students have the popular belief," Mr. Benedict added, "That all they have to do on losing a key is to come see me. But it's to the contrary; when they lose a key they must go to the Marshall's office and pay a deposit for another key. Then I get instruc tions to make a duplicate key." Repairs on damaged locks over the campus total approximately 100 per week. Mr. Benedict began his present job as locksmith on January 1, 1917, and expects to retire in two more years. The key shop has been located at v'arious places over the campus during Mr. Benedict's employment here, ranging from a basement be neath the residents office to an old toilet on the location of the pres ent shop. Prior to comning to the univer-. sity Mr. Benedict worked for a, year in the Panama Canal Zone during the initial phases of con struction of that famous link be tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Recalling memories of his ex periences in Panama, Mr. Bene lict compared the methods of en rineering and excavating with the rnethods employed today, stating ~he Canal could have been com pleted in a much shorter time than ~t originally required. Disease was another factor of ~ontention. Malaria and Yellow Pever fatalities were not as dan gero'us in ratio of proportion as was the Bubonic Plague, accord ng to Mr. Benedict, from which >ver 10,000 laborers died.

It has many features not in eluded in the old conventional type boiler. It has the capacity to heat ur cool eight passenger cars such as are used on the railroads. Hav ing a rated capacity of 3000 lbs. Df water evaporation per hour, the boiler operates on diesel oil, or number 3 fuel oil. The operation is fully automatic, once they are started.
