The debaters tied for the lead in the Carolina forensics tournament in Columbia and later won the Dixie forensics in Charlotte, N. C. In the Dixie the university de cisively defeated Duke who had tied the Carolina team in the Caro lina tournament. Prof. Merrill G. Christophersen, director of forensics, was pleased that a different team won the Dixie, for on Feb. 1 teams must be sent simultaneously to the Miami tournament in Miami, Fla., and to the Blue Grass tournament in Georgetown, Ky. Three other teams will be present at these tour naments. Carolina has received an invita tion to the South Atlantic tourna ment in Hickory, N. C. From March 19-24, Carolina will participate in the national tourna ment at Stillwater, Okla. "We are apt to lose some of the future tournaments," Prof. Christo. phersen said, "for Laverne Fun derburk is leaving for the Air Corps, and Jim Alford and Jim Reagan are off to the Navy." The present Carolina squads are: women, Barbara Ann Cloyd of Co lumbia, Nancy C. Fulmer of Springfield, Pat Davis of George town, Carolyn M. Dabbs of Mayes ville, L. Ann Bruce of Greer, and Mrs. James Acree of Columbia: men, Laverne G. Funderburk and Sanford F. Zahler of Columbia, John D. Long of Union, Edward B. Cottingham of Bennettsville, James P..

He studied theology at Pomona college, Clare mont, Calif. To earn his way, he wrapped bread in a bakery, worked in the General Electric steel mills, washed dishes, waited on tables, corrected examination papers, and did occasional preaching on the side. While Shaw was still an under graduate the director of the Po mona Glee club took his sabbatical vacation. As a temporary measure Shaw was drafted to lead the glee club. He did so to such good pur pose that he was awarded an as sistantship for the rest of his stay in college. In Shaw's junior year, Fred Waring came West to make a movie, "Varsity Show," which was filmed on the Pomona College cam pus. The college glee club had a small bit in the film. Waring was so impressed that he told young Shaw if he ever came to New York a job would be waiting for him. In 1988 Shaw took Waring at his word and assumed direction of the Waring glee club, which soon became an outstanding feature of t h e five-nights-weekly Waring show. Besides his radio work, Shaw trained choruses for Billy Rose's Aquacades in New York and San Francisco, and also trained choruses for Broadway shows, "Carmen Jones," "Laughing Room Only" and "The Seven Lively Arts." In 1944 Shaw was guest con ductor of the CBS Symphony. Since that time he has conducted the NBC Symphony, the ABC Sym phony, the Boston Symphony Or chestra and the Philadelphia Or chestra. Shaw's career was interrupted in Lie aspring of 1945 by service in the navy. He was sent to Sampson Training Center, where he was im mediately put to work organizing and training a chorus. After a concert in Buffalo, Shaw collapsed from a combination of overwork, blood-poisoning, and "cat-fever." He spent the rest of his navy career in the hospital. Following his discharge from the navy, Shaw was appointed Choral Director for the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, Massachusetts. In 1946 he was ap pointed Director of Choral Activi ties at the Juilliard School of Music. In the summer of 1948 the Robert Shaw Chorale was chosen by NBC as summEr replacement for the Edgar Bergen-Charlie McCarthy show, the first time a choral group had been chosen for such a spot.

'Harvey' Has Week Town Theatre Run By KEN POWELL "Harvey." the story of the six foot rabbit is now playing at the Town Theatre. it opened Wednes day and runs through January 17, according to Gene Crotty, director of the theatre. The fantasy is about a guy who drinks, and in his gayety holds conversation with a six-foot high, white rabbit which he alone can see. But as the play progresses, other persons began to see the rab bit. His sister, for example, who is committing him to a sanatorium because he and "Harvey" embar rass her guests. The sister gets the sanatorium too. Finally the drinker tells them that "Harvey" represents his victory over reality and that he is much happier than he would be' if he lived in reality. His friends see his point and decide that reality ii'L so wonderful after all. Elwood P. Dawd, who first sees the rabbit, is played by James Dreher, a local attorney. Sara Jones played Elwood's sister and George Dick plays the role of the family lawyer. The university is represented in the cast by Carl A. Vines whose name is becoming familiar in local dramatics. He is also poetry editor of the "Carolina Review." He takes the part of the cab driver in "Harvey." Green is emphasized in the stage decorations with white and brown being worked in for contrast.

Geology Dr. Julian Jay Petty, professor of geology and geography, has com piled a "Bibliography of the Geology of the State of South Caro lina," which has been published by the university's research commit tee. Dr. Petty has said that in his bibliography he attempted to as semble in as convenient form as possible all references in the literature relating to the geology of the state. It includes paleontol ogy, petrology, mineralogy, soils, physiography, hydrography, and hydrology. "The aim has been to list all books and articles which refer to South Carolina geology, even though this may not be their major emphasis," Dr. Petty said. The items, with title and medium of publication, are listed under the nsnmes of their authors in alpha betical order in the Authors and Titles section. The index is ar ranged by major topics and sub jects wiL1 ,he auihor identified by name. Dr. Petty said that the major part of the time spent on the com pilation of the bibliography was made through grants from the re search committee which permitted a reduction of normal teaching load. Dr. Petty was born in 1901 in Ontario, N. Y. He received the bachelor of science degree at Deni son university in 1924, the master of arts degree at Harvard univer sity in 1929, and the doctor of philosophy degree from Ohio State university in 1943.

Dr. Petty is listed in "American Mien in Science" and "America's Young Men." He was recently elected secretary of the American Association of Geographers. Book For Beauty Added To Library Treasure Room By RUDY THIGPEN Ever hear of purchasing a book for its beauty and not its content? This is true in the case of "The Pupils of St. John the Divine," an old volume contained in the Treas ure room of the McKissick library. It is one of the few books that was purchased by the library to add to its collection in the Treasure room. The book, as you might guess, is on the subject of religion, but so far as is known few people have ever delved into its contents. But as for its appearance it Is qjuite fascinating. By holding the book front-side down, you can see the edge of the leaves are tinted a greenish-gold. But then flick the pages back at a slight angle and you see a complete picture painted on the edge of the book. The picture, a pasto 1 scene with trees and a lake, is afeligate work of art. This Is known as "fore-edge" painting and is now a lost art, according to Mrs. English, librarian. STATE TlE A ME un -Wedmesday "P -I ISTORIC WO AN" /Savage tVIo4!

Work Is Completed By Honor Board For Fall Semester Members of the honor hoard have almost wound up their work for the fall semester, Terrell Glenn, chairman, has announced. The most important question to b)e settled this year wvas that of the warning system. For years students have been reluctant to re port individuals that wvere warned about infractions of the honor prin cip)le. A box has been set aside for the honor board in the post of fice. Students are urged to drop a unote giving the name of the person warned and the signature of stu dent who gave the warning. Mem bers of the honor board reserve the right to decide wvhat constitutes a case or an investigation. A card file will be kept, and when there is sufficient evidence, an investiga tion may be called. The honor council has tried six cases this semester. Three were found innocent dlue to lack of evi dence. Two were suspended for twvo weeks, and one received an "E'' on the course. The honor hoard carried out its customary program of contacting as many members of the faculty personally as possible. To Sunshine! r laundry andl drycleaning? Street Plant is just TWO j.S.C. Campus!
