Winner Of Ford
Fellowship Now
At Carolina
Charles Philip Walters, recipient
of a Ford Foundation fellowship
and assistant professor of geology
at Kansas State College, is con
ducting a study at the university
to determine how southerners can
make the best use of geological in
formation and resources in this
region, President Norman M.
smith said today.
Ford Foundation grants were
awarded for the first time last year
to younger .mbers of . collage
faculties to permit them to under
take research which will make
them better rounded and more ef
ficient teachers.
Professor Walters will study
this area and the people in it, and
their use of the science of geology.
He will then compare the results
with a similar investigation of the
northwestern United States which
e completed recently.
South Carolina provides an in
;eresting contrast with the north
vest because the region has been
settled for a much longer time,
Professor Walters says. In the
iorthwest people have gathered

from all parts of the world, and
they are making costly mistakes
which an awareness of geology
would make it possible for them
to avoid. For example, they are
constructing buildings in places
which are "geologically unsound"
like on the top of high clay banks
which do not provide adequate
foundations. In South Carolina the
population is older and more
homogeaeeo"&and mistakes of this
type have been eliminated with the
passage of time.
Soil, water supply and mineral
resources of South Carolina will
be among the subjects which the
geologist expects to examine care
fully.
A native of Missouri, Professor
Walters received his bachelor's and
master's degrees from Kansas
State College, and attended Cor
nell University from 1938 to 1941.
He teaches physiographic geology
and field mapping at Kansas State
and was formerly an oil geologist
for the Continental Oil Company
n California.

s recently released by H. 0.
i total of 2,268 men and 908
ay and night schools of the
nrollment to 317 students for
the current semester.
This semester's enrollment shows
a decrease of 242 over that of last
semester's. Mr. Strohecker attrib
utes the decrease to many factors.
First, he points out, there is always
a decrease in enrollment to be ex
pected in the spring semester of
every year. The decline of veteran
enrollment is another factor to be
considered. 574 veterans enrolled in
the university last semester,
whereas only 442 have enrolled
this semester, a difference of 132.
Veteran enrollment reached its
peak at Carolina in the fall term
of 1948-49 when 2,412 veterans at
tended the university. Today, only
three years later, that enrollment
has decreased nearly 2,000.
Whether or not veteran enrollment
will continue to decrease depends
upon whether or not congress
grants the C. I. Bill to Korean
veterans.
The registrar said that college
enrollments all over the United
States cre n the decline, and
that in addition to the growing
scarcity of the veteran, quite a few
students who are members of the
Army and Navy reserves are being
called into active service. It is ii
teresting to note that a remark
ably few students are being called
out of college by the local draft
boards and that as the situation in
Korea eases, still fewer will be
called.
The figures quoted above with
regard to the grand total enroll
ment at the university include those
students registered for one or two
courses only or who are registered
only for degrees. Below is a sum
mary of registration for the cur
rent semester and only full time
