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.

First Nighters
Give Two Plays
At Town Theater
The First Nighters, a Co
lumbia theater group, in coopera
tion with the Town Theater, pre
sented two one-act plays Sunday
night. 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.

Newman
Club Gives
Opportunity
By JUNE MARSHALL
The first Catholic student club
in the United States was estab
lished at the University of Penn
sylvania in 1893. Since then the
various clubs have banded together
into an international organization,
known as "The Newman Club Fed
eration," representing a Catholic
student membership of more than
100,000.
Purpose of the clubs at non
Catholic institutions of learning is
to suppiemeni. the work of seculur
institutions with spiritual and re
ligious instruction, to give the
Catholic students an opportunity to
come together and to know one an
other; in a word to aid the spiri
tual life of students, their religious
instruction and their social life in
this order_ of importance. The
Newman club fosters, moreover, a
spirit of harmony and fellowship
on the campus, thus rendering a
real'service to the student body
and the university.
The Newman club at Carolina
participates in monthly corporate
communions at St. Peter's church
in Columbia, followed by breakfast
in the school hall. The club has
numerous retreats, conferences and
lectures each semester. Carolina's
Newvmanites meet twice monthly
for business purposes; o n c e
monthly for some social function.
Speakers are usually engaged for
the meetings and occasionally
Father Suggs, the chaplain, de
livers one of his series of talks
on "Marriage and the Student."
Meetings are on the first and
third Wednesdays of the month
at 7:30 p. m. in room 101 of Legare
college on the, campus. Present
officers include John Savoy, presi
dent; Jim Condon, vice-president;
Theresa McGuinn, corresponding
secretary; Gloria Walker, record..
ing secretary, and Ed Owens,
treasurer.
