Animals Receive Man's Language Ecstein Reports Cincinnati, Ohio -- (ACP) - "Many animals do understand words, and, to a degree, in the same way man does-through sym bolism," says Dr. Gustav Eck stein, association professor of physiology, University of Cincin nati and noted author and expert on animal psychology. "There may be forms of com munication between living things that go much farther down the biological scale than we ever recog nize or suspect," he declared. Even bird brains, Dr. Eckstein believes, are capable of changing man's words into symbols and thus understanding them. A dog definitely can, according to Dr. Eckstein, and a chimpanzee, con trary to popular belief, isn't too far ahead of the (log in this re spect. Bids for the high school and edu cation building (later named Wardlaw College) were called for in October, 1930. It was estimated that the building would cost ap proximately $300.000. :co picks you )w . . . calms rou're tense! s o nter.h ee-h the n the leaig brandl thembi il' fie, h tobacco touuht ma< yrou're tense.

Moves for the building of a stadium had come several years before when alumni raised $4,040 to buy 20 acres of land adjoining the State Fair Grounds. The Columbia City Council made possible the beginning of con struction, and later, funds were borrowed from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The final cost of the stadium was $88,000. In the summer of 1934, the new municipal stadium was completed, with a seating capacity of 17,800. Students were told of its special features, its unusual position which eliminated annoying glare, and its curved playing field which insured better drainage. They were informed that rent for its use would be used to pay the R.F.C. loan. Parking territory was promised to be adequate. There was much anticipation and a "full house" on tl4at October day of the dedication when a sta dium two miles South of the uni versity replaced Melton Field, which had become too small for the Carolina-Clemson classic.
