New Law BiiildinV In Erection Of Pr ' By JAN Feature In June, 1918, formal ded honor of the recently complet James L. Petigru, an, alumr This was the building which v of Law. ' Speeches were made in the William Currell and the H( followed by a reception in the new building. It was used for the first time, in the fall of that year. The law school, which had one classroom of its own to be used by three professors, had sought a building for several years. In February, 1917, the state legisla ture during the closing hours of its session apprpriated $40,000 for a law building. Immediately discussion arose as to where the new building should be situated and what its name should be. Many thought that it should be built on Gibbes Green. Others argued that the university's vacant lot on lower Main street would be a suitable location. When construction began that spring, it was known that Petigru would be just east of Rutledge college, facing east and north. The building was completed in January, 1918, and an informal dedication was held. Over the east entrance was the name "Peti gru " and under the second story windows were the names of dis tinguished South Carolina lawyers. The two story building includes classrooms, professors' offices, study rooms, a moot court room, and a large library, which would contain both reference and text books and background materi,il. Recently the legislature appro priated $300,000 for the construc !ion of a new and larger law build ing, and work has begun on this on Gibbes Green. The same prob lems have arisen, but a new gen eration of lawyers will profit from progress as the present law school becomes too large for Petigru.

Barnwell Naval Officer Procurements Plan Enlarged The United States Navy pro poses to procure 1250 men for training in a reserve officer train ing program for the summer of 1949, according to Lieut. Comdr. J. W. MacMurray of the naval science department. The Reserve Officer Candidate Program calls for two six-weeks training periods at naval stations on the East and West coasts of the United States.

Berry and Bill Yetman, his room mate escaped injury as they tried to leave the darkened room when large chunks of plaster fell about them. Both students were study;ing at the time. The collapse was pre ceeded by a cracking noise and the lights went out. They began to run, but at that instant the plaster covered' them, Berry re lated. The plaster in the room below number ten is also cracked. Other tenements on the campus have been undergoing repairs for plas ter damage. Repair work on tene ment. 23 was expected to begin Tuesday. Emotion Maturity Given as Requisite To Happy Marriage Providence, R. I. - (ACP) - "Nothing determines the degree of success in courtship and mar riage more than emotional ma turity," said Dr. Vera Behrendt in a lecture on ''Marriage and Courtship" at Brown University. Dr. Behrendt gave sonme criteria for judlging whether or not a per son is emotionally mature. The ability to weigh the value of ''long time goldl against immediate satis faction" was said to be important in this respect. Listed as lacking this virtue are those students who readl a mystery novel the night before an important exam. They neglect the fact that getting~ a high grade on the exam would afford more long lasting satisfac tion. "The capability to give affec tion and love to another indi vidual" was mecntionedl as anotheir criterion. The emotionally imma Lure person shies away from mnak ing any deep) emotional attach ments. In a girl, she said, this tendlency mainifests itself in the form of collecting boy friends muich as an lIndian collects scalps, while boys who always try to date a much sought-after girl also ex hibit this insecurity born of im maturity. Another imp)ortant criterion of emotional maturity is that of vari ous types of emotional response, the lack of which is shown in the c'hild's temper tantrums. A short coming in the adult results in the over-aggressive person wvho lacks control, and the person who con trols himself to too great a degree, the' over-sweet individual.

Joe Versus Betty Men Retort Qu Revealing Coet An ACP Feature A list of what girls dislike most in men has been compiled from a wide assortment of University co eds by Miami Hurricane feature writel s: Heading the list, and running neck and neck, are dirty finger nails and conceit. "God's gift to woi-mtn," and he who "constantly tries to prove he's a college yo yo," are definitely taboo. Dirty and bitten-down fingernails are nof only taboo-"They are strictly repulsive." according to the long nailed co-eds. "Men who can't stop talking about how much money they spend, who can only talk about cars and how fast they can make them go, who boast, generally, about every phase of their lives, and who always try to be the life of the party," are heartily con deined. Vulgar language, sloppy dress ers, and men needing a shave, come high on the list of dislikes. Cigars, beards, suspenders and mustaches are generally con deined. Bad manners, table and otherwise, are unappreciated by the gals. The "overbearingly tem lerairental male is very hard to end(ure," said one of those inter vie('wedl. Sarcastic men, loud men, lazy nmen, and 'those wvith shallow, in sensitive natures are among the banned. "I like a fellow wvho has anmbit ion-who can talk about something besides the race track andl cars," is the wvay one co-ed p)ut it.

Ohio Men Reply Men at Ohio Wesleyan were quick to reply to the Florida poll with their tabulation of what's wrong with women: The consensus was that painted fingernails in run down condition compares quite favorably with the men's dirty fingernails condemned by the co-eds. One chap inferred that some women paint their nails to cover up the dirt. One male complained about women being late for dates saying that many co-eds take the stand that if they are on time for a date, they are showing too much inter est. Accordingly, they show up anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes late. They also "tend to put too much emphasis on the amount of money possessed by their date," he continued. Another interviewee begged that women at least "try to act natural without affecting the mannerisms of a sickening teen-ager attempt ng to play house."
