The obvious answer is to con duct a tour of students through Europe. Mrs. Grace Cameron Sweeney, professor foreign langu ages at the university, realized this dream last summer. For three eventful months, she and twenty eight students toured France, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Bel gium, Holland, and England. "Each country was interesting for a dif ferent reason. Although the girls and women went to every concert and art exhibit, they were much more interested in shopping, es pecially in France. They bought, among other things, bridal veils, silver hats, gloves, and perfume," Mrs. Sweeney declared. Mrs. Sweeney related that there was still great unemployment and unstable economy in all of the countries that her tour visited. She explained, however, that the picture was not that unhappy in all phases of European life. "In Italy we were surprised at the great progress that had been made in reconstruction since last year, though Belgium has made the greatest comeback sinee the end of . the war. American tourists withI their dollars have helped bring this about." With a familiar sparkle in her eyes, Mrs. Sweeney reflected that European scenery is perhaps its best tourist insurance." Honor Council Established Here In 1936 In 1936 students at USC drafted and signed an honor code by which they and succeeding students were to abide. Each year since 1936, students have pledged themselves to follow and strengthen the honor code. The system is in the hands of the btu dents. Three faculty members and six students, from which a chairman is elected, compose the honor coun cil established by the code of 1936. It has jurisdiction over all matters concerning academic honor and has supreme regard for the protection of student honor. It spares neither time nor effort in the investigation of all charges presented.

Mercer, head of the physics department. The university serves as a sta tivn for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The USCGS is a branch of the Department of Commerce that records all earth quakes sensed by stations located throughout the country. Out of a reported eighty-seven, the university seismograph has de tected eleven. The apparatus is lo cated in the basement of Hamilton College. It rests on a cement foun dation completely separated from the floor of the building. "This is necessary", say Professor Mercer, "because any jolt in the building might cause the seismograph to register a false eruption." "It is necessary to have this ap paratus in a dark room, also, be cause the motion is recorded on photographic paper that passes over a slowly moving timed cylin der. This paper is then developed and, if there are signs of an erup tion, we send a report to the Gen detic Survey," Professor Mercer explained. In his office at Sloan College, Professor Mercer has a map full of small pins. Each pin destinates the exact location of an eruption and in what month it occurred.

The next play by the University "The Scarecrow" by Percy McKaye eak hrough Europe By ROBERT FLOYD "We had a wonderfui Arip," was the expression used by Dr. John B. McConaughy, of the political science department, in describing his summer excursion to Europe. "The students spent two weeks studying at the University of Lon don and the University of Paris on the international relations of the French and English governments," Doctor McConaughy said. During their two-week stay in London the students held inter views with various members of the British Ministry at which time functions of the departments of government were discussed. The students also visited the American Embassy, the New York Times bu reau, and the ECA, where the Mar shall Plan was discussed. They also heard many lectures during the voyage to and from Europe. While in Genoa, Italy, Doctor McConaughy and one of his stu dents were seeking the way to Ge noa's famed waterfront when they were invited into a cafe for a cup of coffee by a bowing Italian. Aft er they finished their coffee they asked the friend to assist them in getting on the right street car. An hour or so later Doctor McCon uhyarked the conductor- +U.. were approaching the water front. The smiling conductor informed him that the "cafe" he had visited was the Genoa Communist party headquarters and that the bowing Italian was one of the faithful members. "I thought that guy was too friendly," McConaughy remark ed to his student companion. "The Marshall Plan seems to be working very efficiently," Doctor McConaughy said, "and I believe it is curbing the spread of Com munism in Europe. The failure of the French coal strike broke the back of Communism in France. It is my opinion that the French would have gone Communistic at that time if it had not been for the Marshall Plan. I believe the spread of Communism is more prevalent in Italy than any of the other countries we visited," Doctor Mc Conaughy added. The group spent a weekend at the estate of Lady Astor, in Clive den on the Thames. Lord and Lady Wavell, of North Africa fame, Lord Piers'leigh, King George's social aide, Stuart Alsop, the col umnist, and his wife, and Peter Grimm, the broadcaster, were a few of the other distinguished guests. The students who accompanied Doctor McConaughy were: James Simons, William Goldsmith, and Ralph Winn, Jr., of the University of South Cat-olina. The University of North Carolina sponsored the tour. for Shoes that look like new v isit R OBE RT S SHOE REPAIRING SERVICE * * * Acrose From CAiIDWEIL'S 1319 Senater St. University To Present By RUTH E Try-outs for the University "The Scarecrow", by Percy Mac week, announced Prof. M.
