E P'ARKING. 00 N.AN ST. Co-Eds Hear Mrs. Sweeny On Europe Mrs. Grace Cameron Sweeny, of the language department, spoke at the first meeting of the Co-ed as sociation October 25. She discussed the trips to Europe which she makes every summer, and spoke of the high points of her most recent trip, one of which was seeing the Passion Play which had not been presented in Germany since 1934. Mrs. Sweeny described the crops, well cared for vineyards, and fac tories, evidences of man's good will and industry, which were ap pearing all over Europe for the first time since World War II. She impressed upon her audience the importance of the realization that we are not merely citizens of the United States but of the world. She praised the Marshall Plan and emphasized its importance in com bating communism in Europe to day. Said Mrs. Sweeny, "Com munism breeds best in the poverty and misery of the European people today." Mrs. Sweeny went on to stress the importance of the American tourist's dollars in getting Europe back on her feet. She said that travel in Europe has become con venient and comfortable, and that there is 'plenty of good food for the tourist. Discussion Groups To Be Organized Plans for the semester's campus discussions were formulated at a meeting which was held at Flinn Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 24. Jim Snead, chairman for discussion groups, urged that all interested persons take part in these dis .ussions. "Their purpe is to provide some manner of organized 'bull session' which can be beneficial to the participants. Campus discus sions were held last Fall and last Spring and were highly successful, and can be even more successful this Fall because of the increased enrollment at the university," Snead said. Residents of these dormitories in which discussion groups were formed last year are asked to re vive their groups, and those per sons living in a dormitory which did have an organized group last yter%may form one merely by holding organized discussions in their dorms. Anyone who is in terested in forming a new group or reviving an old one should contact Burt Wheeler or Jim Snead at the 'Y' to obtain details. The groups are divided into twvo leagues -with the large dorms in one league and the small dorms in another. One winner is declared in each league and the winners are rewvarded by the 'Y.' Winners ar determined by a p)oint system based on attendance at the organ ized discussions. Extra points wvere given to groups having discussions led by university professors or other guests.

The jobs paying $2, 650 and $2,875 a year are open nly to college sophomores and wUSC Station Breaks Practically all the guys and gals turned out on Saturday for work details. We did everything from repair the turntables to straighten out the card catalog. Bill Rasp did the difficult job of auditioning transcriptions and tagging them so that individual songs can be played from them. We had our usual Executive and Staff meetings on Friday and there eems to be another party in the making. I hear that some thing special is planned. Maybe you are the ones who hate radio commercials . . . but did you know that without them radio would be a non-business en terprise? We are fortunate to have such capable writers as Grace Wolie, George Sima, and Phillip Pinkney. And of course, Ray Turek is in charge of it all. All the Carolina Theatre spot an nouncements, and the Guest Shows from Flinn Hall. And then there are the scripts for the "Mystery Sweetheart" program w hich is a light satire on soap operas. Last week I complimented Miss Tex Massey for her never-tiring efforts at WUSC and this week I would like to mention Dick Dun can. Dick is wearing a Gold Pin with our Station call letters on it which was awarded him for his good work last year, and it seems that he is doing just us well this fear. Aside from his executive duties, he has a very listenable show, "Serenade In Blue." Dick is really an asset to our station. We still have our swell records. Of course you listen to the "Sweet heart," and I wonder if you have heard the p)rogram by Pasi swell showv.

Says Deai Childs "Our juvenile delinquency prob lem in South Carolina is no dif ferent from that of the other states, and we know just as much as they do about modern methods, but we can not keep up with them because of a lack of money. We spend below $600 per student each year in our training schools where as the national average is $1100,,, said Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of women at the university, and secretary to the Board of State In dustrial schools, after returning from the National Conference of Juvenile agencies which met at St. Louis, Mo., for four days begin ning October 7. Mrs. Childs has served on the Board of State Industrial schools since 1946. This board is charged with full responsibility for the management and supervision of South Carolina's three correctional institutions for children 12 to 17 years of age. The schools include the Girls Industrial school (white) at Columbia, the Boys Industrial school (white) at Florence, and the John G. Richards school (Negro) at Columbia. In 1949, the legislature further charged the board with responsibil. ity for constructing a school for Negro girls.

McCartha, recently appointed faculty member of the school of education. Doctor McCartha added that he realized everything was not Utopian, "but the school as a whole is good. It has to be. By taking this job I received a reduction in salary . . . I like South Caro Iina." Doctor McCartha was much im pressed by the size of the classes in the school of education. He said, "In one of my classes I have 70 students. Dean Crow has over 100 in one of his." The native South Carolinian followed this comment with an assurance that conditions would improve as time went on and the faculty is en larged. "Right now," mentioned Doctor McCartha, "My wife, who has the same degree as I have, and I are staying in the Cornell Arms apart ments.. This is nice - I can sleep late." Doctor McCartha's wife is also on the faculty of the school of education. Doctor McCartha received his A.B. at Newberry college, and did graduate work at the University <A North Carolina, New York uni versity, and the University of Florida. He has worked on many educational projects involving over 6,000 children. I am quoting the following from the great Chinese philosopher, Confucius.
