Few students realize how indispensible the information service is to them selves and to visitors at the uni versity. In this little booth sits a pert, attractive, young lady who is al ways ready and willing to extend a helpful hand to any student or visitor. The right answer to al most any question is available here. The young lady, who is the driving force behind .this important func tion, is Mrs. Nell Pritchard Eppes. Mrs. -Eppes was born in Columbia and graduated fromii Wiiithirp Col lege in 1941. Since that time she has travelled extensively about the United States, living in Florida, California, New York, and Ne braska. She worked for a while as a Spanish translator in Miami; she attained the rank of Lieutenant (jg) in the navy; and she also taught Eniglish at the University of Nebraska. While at the univer sity Mrs. Eppes is working on her M.A. degree in English. Mrs. Eppes, the former Mrs. Pritchard, is the mother of a six year-old girl, Micel. She married James H. Eppes, a Columbia busi nessman, on December 31, 1951. Mrs. Eppes was filled with praise for the students whom she has met on the campus. "I've had almost nothing but pleasant ex periences with the students at the university," she said. She was also quick to praise the work of the Carolina switchboard operators. "I couldn't conduct this function with Out the excellent help and fine co operation of the ladies at .the switchboard," she said. Mrs. Eppes stressed the import ance of students filling out the per sonal class schedule at registration correctly. It is from this card that a student is traced in case of emer gency. man and his times -- knowledge of a kind not hitherto available be cause, until now, no one undertook the extremely large and difficult task of assembling the letters and preparing them for publication." Included in the book are also a ealendar of letters, a biographical sketch of Simms by A. 8. Salley, and sketches by Mrs. Oliphant of the major correspondents of the four volumes.
