Prince Comments On Improvements For Law School By JAMBS TODD The expression of Dean S. L. Prince of the law school is one of Joy as ground is being broken for the new law building. He said this week that the new building is being constructed with comfort able facilities for 250 students. It will be three times the size of the present building, Petigru col lege, which can accomodate only 80 students in comfort. Dean Prince pointed out that the normal Increase in enrollment prior to World War II was about two students a year. On that ba sis, the normal enrollment now would be about 156 students, as suming that the increase would have been prior to 1940. Emphasis given the study of law would naturally change this in crease some if not very materially, he said. No doubt, the normal in crease in enrollment In the law school, GI -Bill excepted, would have carried the enrollment within the next ten years to an excess of 200 students. Enrollment this year, he said, will be approximately 830 stu dents, but as studints under the GI Bill decrease, it will level off at around 250 or 260 students.. The new building is the product of the thought of the law faculty (based on observation of needs) and that of six law deans in the South from Virginia, West Vir ginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, and six librarians, including Dr. Carl M. White of Columbia university and Myers 0. Price, dean of law li brarians of America and head of the law library at Columbia. This building, when completed, will probably be the best arranged law school building in America for a school of some 20Q or 300 students, Dean Prince said. It is being built for nae for .0 r an years or "maybe longer."

HENDRIX Dr. L. V. Robinson, professor of mathematics and astronomy, has had a long and varied career in his field since graduating from the Uniirersity of Texas in 1921. He has taught in at least nine colleges, in addition to serving as researcher at McCormick Univer sity, Virginia; observer of astron omy at Harvard University; and soil conservationist for the gov ernmant. E came to the univer sity in 1945. In 1918, before being graduated from college, Doctor Robinson won the Brown university Mathe matical Prize. He earned his master's degree at the University of Texas in 1922, and his doctor's degree at Harvard in 1931. Doctor Robinson's *pet theory is one he originated in revocation of that of Harvard's Dr. Harlowe Shapley, which attributed varia tions of the light and heat output of certain stars to pulsations in the sizes of the stars. Doctor Robinson's idea is that the changes are due to a splitting in-two and rotation of the stars, HEA TRES WE EK. WIgamR DI'E ,d.' thusat. Walk a Crooe dileU Fri. andsat Shedit of , S Fri and Sat.

An article on "Variable Stars" by Robinson was one of three se lected by the Smithsonian Insti tute for publication in its 1982 re port to congress. His articles and references to his findings have been printed in various American publications, and also inl German, Russian, Engish, and Australian scientific maga zines and textbooks. The latest textbooks in astronomy include his variable star theory and several of his diagrams. Doctor Robinson was listed sev eral times in American Men of Science.... He was a Vanderbilt Fol low of the University of Virginia in 1923-24, and Fellow of the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science in 1932. "The University of South Caro lina has some advantages that Harvard doesn't offer; I like it here because I can work on both mathematics and astronomy at the same time," Doctor Robinson said. Doctor Robinson is a native of Tennessee.
