Historical Cc Has Display By RAN Objects of interest are beinj of -the World War Memorial i university grounds. These dis torical Commission of South ( As one enters through the glass cases are visible. One c of the pre-World War I period is to the right, and one containing World War I curios is left of the corridor. Among the relics in the casp on the right is a hair gloom made from the hair of the botanist, Thomas Walker, who died in 1789. It was displayed as a token of mourning at his death. This was presented to the Historical Com mission by John Peyre Thomas, Jr. Two swords of the Confederate army are included in the display, one of which was loaned by Mr. J. A. Shorter. Lying to the right of the swords is a frail-looking pair of eye glasses originally worn by Thomas Hucks and presented by Lena Temperence Hucks. In the rear of this case May be seen a section cut from a tree. On closer inspection a placard is seen which states that this is part. of the tree under which George Washington first took command of the American army on July 3, 1775. It was presented by the city of Cambridge, Mass., in 1924. Two dishes with scenes depict ing the battle of Gettysburg are exhibited in the center of the case. The dishes, presented by Wash ington A. Clark, have lost none of their original lustre through the years. Across the corridor, the other case is filled with deadly looking weapons from the first world war. A German helmct with the high point in the center is displayed near an Amieric- hrlmrt, along with bayonets, rifles, shells, and cartridges.

They were "Hands Across the Sea," a light comedy by Noel Coward, and Tennessee Williams' "The Long Goodbye." The Noel-Cowavd production was directed by university student, Joe Bishop. The cast, which included several unfiversity students, was composed of Shirley Barth, Eliza beth Bilner, Adger Brown, Roy Lind, Kathleen Durham, Griffin Campbell, Jimmy Howle, Margaret Rhett Taylor, and Lewis Searson, Jr. "The Long Goodbye," a psycho logical tragedy, was directed by Roy 0. Darby, Jr. Members of the cast were Rus sell Green, Andy Gary, Lawton Munn, Newt Huffstetler, Lucius Bultman, Cortez Carpentar, Allen Sindler and Winnie Orr. Claude H. Neuffer, of the uni versity English department, was general chairman of the produc tion; Edward F. Nolan, of the USC English department, was house manager; and Julian Hennig, Jr., was stage manager. The Town Theater has just fin iled a successful run of "Bern Yesterday," the popular Broadway play. The Theater's previous selec tion was of the old-fashioned melo drama, "Spooks." Math Test Givan To Clemson Men Before Course Figures and information re cently compiled by Dr. D. C. Shel don, head of the mathematics department at Clemson Agricul tural college, graphically illustrate the value of Math 100, or Remedial Math. Every freshman entering Clemson is given a placement test in elementary algebra, covering one year of high school algebra work. This is a comprehensive stand ardized test published by the American Council on Education. If a student fails to answer 27 out of the 53 questions on the test he is assigned to the remedial mathe matics course. As a means of measuring the achievement of the students taking this course it was decided to give a similar standardized test again at the end of the semester as a final examination. Since this test was prepared by an outside agency and since no effort was made by the teachers of this course to prime the students for this examination, a comparison of the results of the test with those of the placement test tends to give a reasonably good measure of the students' achievement in the course.
