. a spoke a week .....
By BUZZ BUSBEE
It's a "plum disgrace" to start this column off with news
about parties every week but Saturday night deserves men
tion! We even heard that Sims was noticeably quiet that
night. Could it be that the fraternities on campus tried to
see just how big a Saturday night they could have? The
Phi Kappa Sigs picnicked at Lake Murray (take note of the
word "picknicked"). The Sigma Nus journeyed to Gibson's
Pond at Lexington (some fun, we hear). Sig Chis partied
at Sesqui (ah-h-h Sesqui again). Among alumni going back
to the old camping ground were Edgar Nelson, Plowden
Nelson, Tom Williamson, and Miller Foster. The Lambda
Chis new actives gave the active chapter a wiener roast at
the V.F.W. Club, square dancing and just plain dancing
made up a high time; the Kappa Alphas gave a cabaret
party at the Columbia Woman's Club. So much for that

Political Science,
Fishing, Smoking
Loved By Sherrill
If students were as hard to get
answers from as professors
heaven help the poor professors!
As Dr. George Sherrill, head of
the department of political science
said, "Professors is the strangest
animals."
The distinguished brow of Dr.
Sherrill was surrounded by a halo
of smoke, and a wide grin was on
his face as he spoke.
Dr. Sherrill is a "mountaineer"
from near Boone and Blowing
Rock, N. C. He received his bache
lor of arts degree from Wake For
est college and his Ph.D. from Co
lumbia university.
He taught at Wake Forest and
Clemson colleges before coming
here in 1937. At that time the:
political science department was
composed of one man-Dr. Sherrill.
There were only 44 students en
rolled in political science courses:
that semester.
Next to political science and his
pipe, Dr. Sherrill loves fishing. He
has averaged a fish a trip on his
last two fishing trips: "big ones,"
he said.
Dr. Sherrill's contagious sense
of humor is wvell-known. In fact,
students in his 8 a. m. classes have
trouble going to sle'ep.

Faculty Club
As Professor
For Social 0
fly FRANK FAYSSOUX. Jr.
For a long time the faculty has
recognized the need for some kind
of organization that would tend
to make them more cohesive as a
social group. The members of the
faculty live all over Columbia and
in the past had no common meet
ing plce. They had no proper
ontacts with each other. Needing
a plece where they could meet
together for social :vents and get
to know each other better, the
Faculty CJub was fo:med.
The present group grew out of
a committee appointed two years
ago by President Smith to inves
tigate the possibilities of estab
lishing aI faculty club. At the
present time the committee is A.
Rt. Lewis, president; Edmund
Yaghjian, vice-president; Miss
Virginia '!tmirdin, secretary, and
Roy Garrett, treasurer. In ad
dition. there is an executive com
mittee composed of W. L. Wil
liams, A. L. Geisenheimer, R. D.
Ochs, and Miss Ruth Morse. W.
A. Foran is chairman of the enter
t.ainment committee. A. L. Geis
enheimer is chairman of the
project and fund raising commit
tee, and T. D. Temple is chairman
of the building and sight com
mittee.

ney as president of the Faculty
Club committee, a sum of about
$700 was raised for the Faculty
Club. Of this, $500 was raised
by the ladies' auxiliary through
bridge parties. The other $200
was contributed by interested fac
ulty members and others.
This year the committee began
its activities with a very success
ful covered dish supper given on
February 23 with the help of the
I Adius' auxiliary. The committee
in charge of this supper was un
der the direction of Mas. L. L.
Smith. More than 200 faculty and
administrative staff members at
tended. This supper raised some
money, but more important than
this, it informed the guests of fu
ture plans.
Since that time a membership
drive has been launched and 20.0
of the faculty and administrative
staff has joined the Faculty Club
at the" nominal rate of $3 per
membership. Plans are now under
way for a series of money raising
projects to raise funds necessary
to establish a permanent faculty
club building with full facilities
for the entertaining of guests,
serving of dinners and other fac
ulty functions.
Plans are also under way for a
number of faculty entertainments
such as dinners, dances and pic
nics for the rest of this term and
next fall.
