Law Building Construction To Begin Soon By JANE DOWE Plans have been com'pleted for the construction of a new building to house the law school. The build ing, which will be built on Gibbes Green facing Green Street, will probably be completed by the early winter of next year. Construction will begin within a month. A most needed feature of the law school is adequate space for the school's nearly 30 thousand books, Miss Sarah Leverette, law school librarian, said. The third floor of the new building will be set aside for the library. Many of the school's rare books and valuable editions are now packed a.way in the South Caro .liniana Library. They will be on display in the new library. Approximately one-eighth of the library's collection are text books. The remainder is composed of law reports and legal backgroqnd ma terial. Current text books are add ed annually. Recommendations of the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools, of which the school is a member, are followed in the selec tion of these books. The library also contains basic books for Eng lish reports. Not limited to material from the United States, the library receives law reviews from Canada and Aus tralia. Some reports, published in Spanish, are received from Latin American countries. Open everyday and every even ing, except Sunday, the law li brary is used extensively by the lawyers of Columbia, research workers from nearby parts of the state, and political science profes sors and students as well as by law students. At present it occupies part of the second floor of Petigru College, the present law building. Seismograph Here Only Government One in Southeast The seismograph at the univer sity is the only government seismo graph in the Southeast. Located in the basement of Leconte college, it operates 24 hours a day. A photographic chart is made every day and must be checked. Professor Mercer of the physics department places a new chart on the seismograph t. ison every day. The one for the previous day is re moved and developed during the afternoon. Sincei it Is on photo graphic paper, it is developed by a process similar to that used with camera prints. Mailed to Washington the day after development, the chart is used for government records in the Coast and Geodetic survegy. Along with others from various parts of the country, it gives a world-wide pioture of the earth's behavior.

Tro Chemical Men Hear Whaley On Flourides The university chapter of the American Chemical Society met November 23, to hear a talk by Dr. A. M. Whaley on the synthe sis properties of polyflourides. Doctor Whaley, a graduate of the university, received his Ph.D. in chemistry at Ohio State Uni versity in 1941. "Many experiments are being carried on with polyflourides be cause they are stable and noncom bustible compounds," Doctor Wha ley said. Probably uses for flourides in the future may be as heat resis tant gaskets for internal combus tion engines, a stable lubrication oil which would not require con stant changes, and as a non-toxic, non-iInifiammable anesthetic. "In general polyflourides are made by substitution reaction. or by direct halogenation," Doctor Whaley pointed out. Before Doctor Whaley spoke, the members of the society agreed to have a group picture made for the Garnet and Black.

Ralph Lewis, alumni secretary, checked the files and found no such person listed. The Newberry alumni office was contacted, but an announcement made in chapel ther1P brought no response. Following chapel Man ton J. Hatchell, Newberry student, mentioned that his brother, M. A. Hatchell of the university law school, had attended the game with Miss Johnson. Shealy notified Hatchell, and, through the efforts of the alumni associations, the purse was re turned. During the last days of the war a Northern gentleman telephoned the university alumni association to inquire about a sailor who said that he had been graduated from the University of South Carolina. The sailor wished to marry the gentlemn''s daughter, but the father was in douht. The alumni office checked the files and was able to verify the sailor's statements. The father gave his approval, and they were married. Requests are not always as vital as these, but job-hunt ers are often prev'alenit in the alumni office, which does more than mail publi eationis to former students and sponsor the annual Homecoming day festivities. It is of constant service to all alumni.
