QUEEN ON PARADE ... Hon 9 usy week end last week, reigni feitivities. Among her public appes on Columbia's Main Street Friday al bration. (Gamecock photo by Land Pharmacy As Major fo: Pharmacy, a field once com pletely dominated by men, is be coming increasingly popular with women students at the university. Today a record number of 18 university coeds are compounding drugs and solving chemical equa tions side by side with over 145 male students in the pharmacy school's laboratory and classroom sessions. This is more than half the total of 27 women students the school has graduated in pharmacy in the past. The twelve-to-one ratio of male to female pharmacy students at the university is almost double the na tional ratio. This increased interest among the women students at the Wversity is not difficult to under stand, considering the manifold job opportunities available to the woman graduate with a B.S. degree in her hand. Prof. Robert W. Morrison, acting dean of the School of Pharmacy, says there are far more opportun ities for women pharmacists today than there are women pharmacists. He points out that the female druggist finds ready and profit able employment in a number of fields ranging from manufacturing companies to hospitals. She may, of course, be employed at once in a retail pharmacy, as are 85 per cent of all graduates of pharmacy schools when they first begin their p)rofessional career. Women have been described as p)ossessing a combina tion of the qualities of a scientist and a good clerk with congenial personalities andl patience that are required for intelligent trans actions with the public. Most women registered drug gists, however, accept positions with research laboratories, whole sale drug firms, manufacturing COTILLION calls for a straple.s Harriet Whisenhuni's wardrobe.

The heads of the pharmacy departments of four large hospitals in central South Carolina are women grad uates of the university's school. Government departments, in cluding state and federal food and drug laboratories, present still more op)enings for women pharm acists who may also become teach ers of pharmacy. During her four-year' course at the university, the girl student learns laboratory techniques, phar macology, pharmaceutical chem istry, toxicology, and the identifi cation of official and unofficial drugs. She also studies new and non official remedies, state and federal laws governing the practice of pharmacy and principles of drug store management. Her hours in the laboratory increase as the course becomes more advancedI. The university's school is rated "Class A" (the top -ranking) by the American Council on Pharnma ceutical Education. It was ac credited by the American Associa tion of Colleges of Pharmacy in 1928 and by the Council in 1939. The 18 women pharmacy stu dents presently enrolled at the university include Mrs. Agnes Chavous and Johanna Wright, Co lumbia; Dorothy Benton, Cayce; Joyce Willis, Greenville; Jalon Spencer, Charleston; Betty Fuller, Laurens; Joan Bagwell, Rock Hill; Mary Ann Snowden, Winnsboro; Mrs. Catherine Hallman .Jones, Spartanburg; Annette Ellis, Sum ter; Cynthia Faye Matheson, Cheraw; Linda Bruton, Clio; Mrs. William Burriss, Anderson; D)oris Crocker, Jonesville; Sylvia Cups tid, Swansea; Carol Iobst, Danville.
