according to Prof. W. H. Calco
"We can't say with any as:
not be a depression. All we
conditions as a possible guidt
any dip in the nation's ecor
Calcott said.
Nearly all predictions or guesses
must be made with some reserva
tions, the history teacher said. In
this case it is a question -of taking
into consideration the ever-present
application. of the law of supply
and demand.
"Production of manufactured
goods is at a record '.vel now and
is likely to continue for one or
two more years. Consumer de
mand is keeping pace at every
turn. As long as these two situa
tions stay as well balanced as they
are now, depression can be fore
stalled. The appearance of fac
tors which can not be seen now
could very easily upset this sta
bility."
At some time in the future
American industry will catch up
on all orders now being made.
When that happens there will be
a national cut-back in employment
unless something comes along to
prevent it. With fewer people
working there will be less money
in circulation, Calcott said.
Just as important to the na
tional picture is agriculture. Huge
crops will mean lower food prices.
Grain supplies are now so large
that meat prices are almost cer
tain to fall during the next year.
It can be seen that food produc
tion ties in directly with industry
in determining the economic
soundness of the country.
Marshall plan aid to Europe will
end in 1952, but increased foreign
trade will keep America's factories
rolling. Actually there will be no
change in demand from other
countries for several years.
This brings any discussion back
to domestic production in industry
and agriculture. At that point
the issue becomes cloudy, and no
one can tell when a depression will
come or if there will be one, Cal
cott declared.

Carl Smith Give
Report On Recent
Carl B. Smith of Columbia rep
resented the University YMCA at
the Ecumenical Conference of the
World Student Christian Council
at Lawrence, Kansas, December
27 through January 1.
According to Smith there were
1500 representatives from all parts
of the world. He mentioned that
Soviet Russia and Rome did not
send representatives.
The topic of the conference was
"World Churchmanship for 1949"
with Dr. Nash of North CarolinaI
State as one of the outstanding
speakers.
The purpose of discussions held,
according to Smithi, was how to
better unite students in their ef
forts and practice of Christianity.
He added that daily devotionals
and Bible study classes were held.
Prof. Ragsdale Says
Dog's Hearing Ability
Superior to Human's'i
Dogs have man beat in one re
spect, and that is in hearing abil
ity, according to Albert L. Rags
dale, of the university physics de
partmen t.
"An average person can hear
up to 15,000 cycles per second,
but any dog can go beyond that.
Higher pitched tones are discern
ible only by dogs."
If hearing a few low-pitched
tones is any consolation, man has
an edge there. He can hear, in
some cases, down to 10 or 15
cycles per second, but man's best
friend has difficulty in hearing be
low 35 cycles.
These differences in range can
very easily be explained. Man's
inner ear or ear drum is con
structed differently from that of a
dog and receptive to different
wave lengths of sounds. Where
man's ear is sensitive to lower
and medium pitches, the dog's ear
is sensitive to medium and higher
pitches.

Alumni Council Favor
Emphasis, Support
For Graduate School
The univer'sity Alumni council
adopted a resolution favoring
"more emphasis and support for
the graduate school of the univer
sity" in a meeting held recently
in the offices of Ralph Lewis,
alumni secretary, on the campus.
Adoption of the resolution re
sulted from the favorable report
of a special committee which has
been studying the needs of the
university. Program, policies, and
membership trends of the gradu
ate school and reports from vice
presidents on alumni activities in
the respective judicial circuits also
preceded the adoption.
Following the business meeting,
the members of the council at
tended a luncheon at the Wade

University Group
Gives Widespread
Christmas Cheer
Over a thousand students gath
ered on the steps of McKissick Li
brary to - sing Christmas carols
Monday night, December 20.
Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of
the English department, was in
charge of the program and pre
sided over It. Bill Jordan, Sigma
Chi and voice student, led the
caroling for 40 minutes.
Silent Night was sung in French
by Madame Grace Sweeny, in
Spanish by six Spanish students,
in Greek by two girls and in Ger
manby several students.
After singing all the traditional
Christmas songs, the caroling end
ed with the university's alma ma
ter.
Afterwards, the students of Dr.
Babcock's English 129 classes took
150 -bags of oranges to under
privileged children in the poorer
sections of Columbia. Each bag
contained six dozen oranges and
were left with the compliments of
University of South Carolina stu
dents. Several groups of students
used their cars to deliver the
oranges.
Physics Shop
Scene Of Odd
Constructions
Valuable laboratory equipment
for physics experiments is home
made, according to Albert L. Rags
dale, physics instructor.
Resistance testers, special cir
cuit connectors, even radio circuits
are made in the physics depart
ment's shop. Radio circuits are
for the higher courses only, but
most of the equipnint is used in
elementary courses.
All the construction work is
done by instructors in their spare
time. It provide., both a pleas
ant occupation for the instructors
and a sizeable financial saving by
the university.
No one but instructors and stu
dents are permitted in the shop.
Modern machiniery is available for
all needs.
Sone of the home-made equip
ment has been in use for many
years and is still in good condi
tion. It represents hours of plan
ning and work.
Not much war surplus materials
can be used by the physics de
partment. Most instruments and
parts obtainable are useful only
to the school of engineering. That
'is another reason why the making
of equipment in the school shop
must continue.

as the people of the farm vil
rs of history. John Rood un
a child he lived in the coun
t eight and 12, he delivered
newspapers, with a route that cov.
ered about ten miles. He was
very poor so that, the only peo.
ple he saw were farmers, widows
with many children to support
and small town people. The boy
saw much, felt much--and when
he grew into a man, he had a de
sire to communicate his observa
tion and feeling to others. He
tried music and the written word,
but finally found his talent In
chisel and brush.
His wood sculptures are ex
amples of his skilled work. The
Reaper shows a figure of -a man
done in mahogany bending near
the earth to reap the grain.
"Farm Woman" is an abstract
idea of a woman of the frontier
days seated .quietly shelling peas.
She is unconscious of what is go
ing on around her and is thinking
of something far away.
"Goin' Home" represents a wo
man sculptured in oak trudging
home from the factory, bent
slightly under the weight of a
heavy sack. This shows the aver
age American living the hard way.
"The Laundress" shows not a
woman bending over a wash tub
but a tired farm woman carrying
in strong arms a wet bag of
clothes.
"John Brown," a head done in
oak, represents a fighting Amer
ica, unyielding and stubborn. Thi#
head represents all of the John
Browns of America, past and
present.
"Romantic Head" carved from
cherry may seem slightly out of
place alongside "Farm Woman"
and "Goin' Home" but this, too,
makes up a different side of
America.
John Rood's paintings, like his
sculptures, sing with color. Al
though somewhat abstract, his
vivid contrasts make his work in
teresting.
"The Green Field" (Ohio) is a
painting of plowed green fields
and a winding road, bordered by
darker trees and hedges. Green
predominates in this picture with
touches of subtle brown.
"Road in the Hills" (Ohio) is
very much like "The Green Field."
Its center, however, is a winding
road surrounded by hills. The
composition is filled with true
greens, browns and royal blues.
A touch of red mountain flowers
here and there adds vividness to
the winding road.
"Winter in Minnesota" shows a
broken tree trunk in dark grey
tones with abstract flowers near
the base and a large jagged rock
covered with frost. An Ice cov
ered pond in the background holds
the picture in grey tones.
"The Big Rock" (Wisconsin) is
a picture of a gigantic rock done
in expressive black and light
brown. The background is com
posed of light and dark green
shadows and offsets a brilliantly
contrasting pink and blue sky.
