Beginning with the prese: offering a degree of Doctor < phasis on organic and physical chemistry. POLU- StUdentST are cur rently enrolled. In addition, eight students are candidates for the Ma.iter Vf Science degree. According to Dr. H. W. Davis, head of the chemistry department, the purpose of the expanded pro gram is to provide high level train ing in chemistry within the bor ders of this state where job opportunities abound due to the recent growth of chemical and al lied indtustAries. The establishment of the Ph.D. progriam is also part of the general development of the university's graduate offerings. hile Master of Science (legree was first granted by the university in 1927. Forty-five persons have ear,ned this degree, one-third of them since 1950. The present faculty of the cheniistry department includes six professors who hold Ph.D. degrees from outstanding universities and who have been highly successful as teachers and research scientists. The department also includes a post-doctoral fellow and a research assistant. Graduate and research assistant ships are available to students, providing experience in teaching and research as well as financial aid. The department is housed in the university's million-dollar science building which contains' new lab oratory equipment, adequate ap paratus for research, and a good collection of scientific books and journals. Doctoral candidatis in chemistry include Alva R. Ballentine of nuo, Virgil F. Holland of Spar tanburg, Douglas 1. Relyea of Perry, N. Y., and Benjamin D. Wyse of Saluda. Candidates for the Master's degree are Thomas D. Armstrong, Jr., Jane C. Moorefield, and Sebern G. Sellers, all from Columbia; Erle C. Donaldson from Bahia, Hon duras, Sara F.

The USC chapter of Kappa Delta Epsilon, National Education Soror ity, was represented at a KDE Southeast Regional Meeting held at Furman, November 13 and 14. Those attending were Mrs. .1. Mc Teer Daniel, advisor; Edith Kirk land, president; and Sarah Jerni gan, vice-president. Colleges represented there other than Furman and Carolina were Emory University and Emory & Henry College. Mrs. Daniel led a workshop forum for the advisors. Sarah Jernigan led a workshop forum for the delegates. These forums were on KDE problems. Edith Kirkland was a memher of the panel which discussed: "How ('an Kappa Delta Epsilon Function as an Effective Organization on the College Campus?" Use of Slide Rule Taught By Fraternity Epsilon Lambda Sigma, honorary engineering fraternity, is inviting all freshmen and sophomores in engineerinAg to attend the special classes sponsored by ELS in the use of the slide rule. Every phase of slide rule use will be taken up in the classes held bi-weekly in Hamilton 117 at 7 p.m. on Tues (lays and Thursdays under the di rection of Sam Goforth, special committee chairman. LETTERS (Continued from page 2) wias torn apart with these words: "The Gamecock has not made it a policy to urge students to attend the religious ceremonies in the past, believing that it is a student's right to be spared hearing one more source urging him to go to church." From the standpoint of journal ism, it is apparent that the Game cock editor is not very learned in the art of putting over a thought, only to have the complete aim of the article torn apart by one sen tence, or maybe that was his pur pose. This attitude', as5 expressed by the editor, is but an echo of the answers of the greate'r portion of students and faculty. These are men andl women' who are supposed('( to be learned men, but as the Bible teaches, they are "Ever learning andl never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." If sonme of the parents of the young children that are turned loose on this campus could see their sons andi daughters act as irreligious as they (10, I am sure the enrollment of this school would drop noticeably. The Sunday nights of this university are not spent, in the House of G;od as they should he, but in some "social" dlrop-i n where anything but rel i gious teachings are thought of. Many signs adorned our campus in the spring saying, "Have you heard ? There's a drop-in Sunday night at 8:30." One person wvas heard to have said that he would like to stand on a table in the canteen and yell, "Have you heard ? They are having church services at 8 o'clock Sunday night." It is a shame that a university that was founded on the principles of the Bible, at state that has its charter foundled with God as Head, and fraternities and sororities founded with charters that included God as one of the founding prin ciples, should turn their eyes away from their charters and turn their backs on God, so as to make fun of God and say, "We don't want you to have to bear listening to another plea to go to church!" One of these (lays, Mr. Editor, you will have to stand before the Judlgment Bar of God and hear those words said back to you. What will your answver be' to Him then? What. will all the answvers be of those who have said like things against Him: I hope and pray that you will never regret having utteredi the words you have saidl. W11LLIAM CIEMMONS (FAL.

Note-This is the concerning Carolina landmar For 110 years, it went wit the south end of the Horsesh< to Carolina. Its elegance and 1 old and stately buildings for brick construction and Georgiv to attempt to capture its lov tions. Lieber College's interior pre sents a scene equally impressive. In the front parlors are opulent moldings, mantles, and broad chin)neys, reminiscent of the Georgian era. With the exception of the ground floor, the original heart-pine floors still remain, and promise to endure many more dec ades of harsh trampling. It was this building that housed some of the great men of. Carolina. Lieber and Ellet Professor Francis Lieber, a Ger man by birth, and Professor Wil liam Pliet, the chemist, occupied the building for a considferable time after its erection. The Liebers lived in the eastern apartment andi the Ellets lived in the one to the west. It wasn't until 1946 that the buihIdinug was named in honor of L,ieber. l-'rancis Liebuer was one of the foremost political scientists of his dlay. lie wrote. widely on the sub ject, but his views were unpopular in the South, and thus he, himself, did not enjoy great popularity. He wvas at hearti a mnild abolutionist and dlefendler of supreme federal authority. Often he was labeled an atheist. Lieber was never very happy in South Carolina, and re ferred to his stay here, in his correspondence to friends in the North as his "exile to South Caro lina." Despite his dlislike of the "'in tellectual Sahara,'' (South Caro lina ) Lieber truly dlesiredI the presidency of South C arol ina Col lege when President. James HI. Thornwell resigned in 1855. Thorn well and Governor James H. Adams, who strongly opposed Lie ber's political views, succeeded in blocking his election. The dis appointment was too great for him. He resigned his p)rofessorship and went north, joining the faculty of Columbia University. lie became a leader in the new Reppblican Party, supp)orting its p)rincipals, and thus became the target of southern ridicule. William Ellet One of the country's foremost chemists occupied the western end of Lieber College in its early (lays. Profe'ssor William Ellet is credited with making the first D)aguerreo typ)e (a typ)e of photograp)h) in this country andl with being the first to fire a gun by means of gun cotton in the South, if not in the United States. Lieber College has servedl as a home for other eminent Carolina personalities. Among these are the lHon. Issac Hughes, Governor Hugh S.
