Parks, director of placement, believes that the fol lowing excerpt from the "General Electric Educational Service News" will be of interest to all the senior class. "Last spring there seemed to be a general feeling among the stu dents that it was not worth while bothering with industrial contacts, a sort of fatalistic attitude, and many of the graduating seniors made no contacts with industry as they expected to go directly into military service. We are afraid these individuals may have a dif ficult time making effective con tacts with industry on their release from the armed forces. It is highly important therefore that the boys, even though they are sure they are going into military service, de velop their contacts with industry while they are still on the campus. They may be assured that on their release from service they will be needed just as badly as they are needed now and by taking a little time to go through the interview ing procedure they will find that contacts already established are easier to continue and their even tual placement in industry will be a great deal easier than if they have to start from scratch." Religious Week Theme Chosen The dates and theme for the 1952 Religious Emphasis Week have been set. The dates are from Saturday, Dec. 6, to Friday, Dec. 12. The theme is "Exist or Live." Admiral Smith has sent letters to department heads stating the dates for the 1952 program and a letter has been sent to Coach Rex Enright requesting clearance for Dec. 6-12, 1952. The executive committee has se lected a speakers' committee con sisting of one student and one non student from each denomination. This committee is as follows, with the student listed first under each group: Methodist, Bill Lewis, Co lumbia, and J. E. Whitesell; Lutheran, Bill Johnson, Windsor, and chairman Erland Nelson.

Scholarship Lowered By Panhellenic Panhellenic Council passed a motion Tuesday allowing pledges with a 5.000 average on at least 12 credit hours, exclusive of physical ed(ucation, orientation or band, to be Initiated. Persons to be initiated must have a 5.000 on all subjects taken the previous semester and they must have at least 12 credit hours. Members of Panhellenic felt that the pledge who went through rush week without having a necessary scholarship average or having a 5.000 average minimum should be allowed to become an "active." Rush week was tentatively set for the first week of April, fin m'fediately following mid-semester examinations.

Bent rup, di rector of the School of Social Work, headed a regional workshop of the American Association of Social Workers held in Atlanta recently. The workshop was the first of its kind and will he held next year. "The main issue discussed at the meeting was the public listing of the relief rolls," said Mr. Ben trup. The workshop went on ree ord as saying that it is question aide whether the public would really look at the rolls if they were made public. In two states, Indiana and Illinois, the rolls have been open for inspection. A sur ey pi ovvd thai, in iht first nonth of public inspection of them in Chicag;, 24 people looked at thei. Of the 24, 15 were reporters for the Chicago newspapers looking for a story. In Indiana only two people bothered to inspect them in two months they have been open. Mr. Bentrup wvent on to say that "the psychological and social fac tors affecting the lives of in dividuals on relief rolls make it mandatory that the rolls he closed from public perusal." It was brought ulp at the meet ing that the public thinks social workers are spending too much monmey in their work. The public is obviously unaware that of last year's budget only 3.4 per cent went to social agencies. There were 105 participants at the workshop. South Carolina contributed 12 and its delegates programmed the meeting.
