The University is well pre pared to conduct graduate work in biology on the doctoral level, Dr. William E. Hoy, head of the de partment, said. It has adequate library facilities, new laboratories and apparatus, and a capable staff which has had valuable research experience. Under a current con tract with the Atomic Energy Commission an investigation of the flora and fauna of the Savan nah River Project area is now being carried out. In the early phases of the pro gram emphasis will be placed on training biologists for college posi tions and conduqting research on biological problems in the geo graphic area of South Carolina. "This state offers unparalleled opportunities for biological surveys at the present time," Dr. Hoy said. "Except in a few limited groups, little- systematic work has been done in identifying the plants and animals of South Carolina and in determining their distribution. Much graduate research could be done in this field." The University library has an extensive collection of bookp and periodicals on biological subjects, including many items necessary for stu4ies of the animal and plant life of the state. It also owns such rarities of historical value and South Carolina interest ,as Audubon's "Birds of America," Catesby's "Natural History of South Carolina," and Holbrook's "Fishes of South Carolina."

Born in Rye, New York four kges of Man ago, Mr. Nash can ay some claim to being a dis olaced Southerner. His family was he first of his clan to venture orth of the Mason-Dixon line, one ncestor was a Revolutionary overnor of North Carolina and nother, Francis Nash, was a tevolutionary general for whom Tashville, Tenn. was named. After a year at Harvard and nother at a school where i says ie lost his "entire nervous sys em" carving lamb at table, young 4ash began a two-year career as New York bond salesman, during hich he claims to have sold one ond, to his godmother, while eeing "a lot of good movies." 'rom 1925 to 1931, he was in the dvertising department of Double ay-Page Publishers, where he oodled on a scratch pad the istoric first rhyme: "I sit in an office at 244 Madison Avenue, and say to myself, 'You have a responsible job, havenue?" "I've survived through more han four and a half of Shake peare's famous Seven Ages of [an," Mr. Nash says, and the urvival process has apparently een also a mellowing process. His ttest book of verse is called Parents Keep Out (or Elderly 'oems for Youngerly Readers)," hlowing an attitude toward little >lk much kinder than the mood k which he once inquired, in Lines to a Young Man Standing a My Shoes While I am Wearing hem," "If you must get some body down on the floor, What in the hell are your parents for ?" Mr. Nash says that his present Iche in literature is the result of ;he sudden and subconscious idea writing bad verse 'delibefttely." ome of his poems started with id,lously twisted words which irmif4h germ of an idea; in ,hers, where the idea came first, ie tortured words fell naturally ~or Ogden Nash) Into place. Except for a brief stint as anaging editor of The New orker In 1981, the poet has evoted the rest of is allegedly alf finished career to turning out uge quantities of light verse, ~hich has appeared In moht na onal magazines as well as in ook form. The middle-aged bard, In lines nely entitled "Let's Not Climb te Washington Monument To ight," has probably written the efinitive epitome upon his current me of life. He termed It the eriod when: ". . nobody will speak loud enough for you to hear, And you go to the ball game and notice that even the umpires are getting younger every year." lypatian Literary lociety Subrmits hpplication Plan Hypatian Literary Society unan aouuly voted to accept a sugges on to the effect that applications made for membership.
