Members Are Activ Research Members of the university fac ,5ulty have participated in a wide variety of research activities, pub lishing more than 100 books, arti cles, reviews, monographs and special studies during the past year and a half. A recent survey of scholarly and creative activities by a committee on faculty research indicates that while much is being accomplished in such specific fields as chemistry, biology, and history, the most out standing feature of the report is the variety of research activities. Articles and Papers The principal outlets were arti -cles published in professional mag azines and papers read at meetings of scholarly and scientific societies of which about 50 in each category are listed. However, the report includes such activities as specialized maps published, prizes won at art ex hibits, editing of an educational motion picture, book reviews for scholarly journals, educational sur veys, and directing graduates theses and dissertations. Books Published Books published by faculty mem bers include "Woolen and Worsted Manufacturing in the Southern Piedmont" by Dr. James A. Mor ris, "The Forging of American Socialism" by Dr. Howard Quint, and "The South Carolina Gazette" by Dr. Hennig Cohen. In addition several faculty mem bers contributed chapters to books. Dr. Wilfrid H. Callcott was the author of a chapter entitled "The Caribbean: Springboard for Hemi sphere Policies in the Twenties," published by the University of Florida Press in The Caribbean: Methodist Students From University Attend Conference Ten students from the university attended the state conference of the South Carolina Methodist Stu dent Movement, which was held at Wofford College, Feb. 19-21. Ap proximately 200 delegates at tended. The main speaker was Dr. Lowell B. Hazzard, of Westminster Theological Seminary, Westmin ster, Maryland. Dr. Hazzard spoke on: "We are both students and Christians." Those attending from Carolina were: Robert Ackerman, Jimmy Davis, Betty Sawyer, Frank Call cott, Claude Rowe, James R. Hard wick, Herbert Hanes, Philip Lee, Jimmy Salley, and George Couch. Seismomete To Study E Provides In New seismometers of very high sensitivity have been installed at the university to study earth quakes, according to Prof. Charles F. Mercer of the physics depart ~ent, who is in charge of the &eismograph at the university. The Columbia Station, as it is officially known, is operated by the university in conjunction with the United States Coast and Geo detic Survey. The installation of the new Wil son-Lamison seismometers makes the Columbia Station one of the most sensitive in the eastern United States. It is possible for the station to record graphically many weaker earthquakes formerly not detected, and to study records of those that were formerly in 4ipherable. In addition to the replaced hori zontal component instruments, a vertical component instrument has been added, giving the station the advantage of that additional type of record. The seismograms are de veloped and studied each morning and sent immediately to the Coast and Geodetic Survey in Washing ton. Dr. Taber It was through the efforts of Dr. Stephen Taber, former head of the geology department at the university - and an authority on earthquakes, that the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey placed a seismograph station at the Univer sity. Dr. Taber was one of the group sent by the U. S. Govern ment to investigate the Puerto Rican earthquake in the fall of 1918. Although the region in which we are located is not often visited by of Faculty e in Many Activities Peoples, Problems and Progress, and Dr. Daniel W. Hollis wrote a biographical sketch of Yates Snow den for Outspoken: 150 Years of the News and Courier, published by the University Press. Dr. Robert Ochs serves as edi tor of the Proceedings of the South Carolina Historical Association, Dr. R. L. Meriwether is general editor of the South Caroliniana Series; publications based upon the manuscript collection in the South Caroliniana Library, and Dr. J. E. Whitesell is a member of the editorial board of "The Ex plicator," a magazine devoted to the analysis and explanation of difficult passages in well-known literary works. Considerable support to schol arly activities was derived from a series of university publications in biology and the physical sciences sponsored by the faculty research committee and from the "South Carolina Law Quarterly," published jointly by the South Carolina Bar Association and the University Law School. Three Bibliographies Three notable bibliographies were compiled by faculty mem bers. They include Distribution and Bibliography of Amphibians and Reptiles of South Carolina by Dr. J. T. Penney, Bibliography of the Geolography of South Carolina by Dr. Julian J. Petty, and Special collections in the McKissick Me morial Library by Miss Elizabeth D. English. Contributors of articles to en cyclopedias include Dr. M. B. Seig ler, Dr. George Sherrill, and Dr. Julian J. Petty. Carolina Pep Club Announces Plans For Variety Show The Carolina Pep Club has an nounced that their annual talent show will be held Tuesday, March 30, in Drayton Hall at 8:00 P.M. The admission price will be 50 cents. The show will be composed of talented students from the univer sity. An award will be given to the student selected by the judges as the most talented participant on the program. All contestants are to have given their application to Sumner Waite, Al Perry, or Winkie Kirven by March 25. Rehearsals will start on March 29 at 7:00 P.M. in Drayton Hall. rs Installed arthquakes; formation earthquakes, one of the major earthquakes of all time occurred in Charleston in 1886, Prof. Mer cer said. It was highly desirable' that a seismograph station be lo cated in this part of the country. The foundation in Columbia is well adapted to the reception of good earthquake records. At the time it was installed there was no other operative station in the entire Southeastern United States. Started In 1930 The first instruments were low sensitivity McComb-Romberg seis mometers with heavy, long-boom pendulums operating on the prin ciple of the optical letter. The sta tion was operated by Prof. A. Courtenay Carson, then head of the physics department, from the time it started operation in 1930 until 1941. Since. that time it has been operated by Prof. Megeer. Considerable interest has been taken in seismographical informa tion the past decade and the uni versity has multiplied Its efforts in accord with the program. In order to better receive less violent shocks, an improved type of elec tromagnetic instrument was sub stituted for one of the seis mometers in the spring of 1951. Since that time, as a result of the interest taken by the university in immediate transmission to Wash ington of earthquake waves re corded, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey has recently installed the new equipment. There are ninety organizations to which students can belong on the University of South Carolina campus excluding fraternities and sororities. CATHOLIC STUDENTS dedicat Thomas Moore Chapel and buildini McFall Retires Only to Enter Into New Field (EDITOR's NOTE: This article was originally published in "The Eastern Underwriters," a national insurance magazine.) What is the best method of tak ing up a new life in the case of a man who leaves a corporation un der its employee's retirement plan? Many go into such retirement by moving to a warni climate and taking up golf. On the other hand, retirement may be a very happy and stimulating experience, just a transition to new fields, new asso ciations and new challenges. In the latter category I would unhesitatingly place John M. Mc Fall, who in the fall of 1950 left his post as vice-president and chief attorney of United States Fidelity and Guaranty, Baltimore, under the company's retirement plan and returned to South Carolina where he was reared. Still Busy "I am as busy now as I ever was," he said to the writer, "and I know that I am having as much fun now as I ever did. The best way to retire is not to." Mr. McFall is now a lecturer on insurance and constitutional law in the Law School and a lecturer on insurance in the School of Busi ness Administration at the Univer sity of South Carolina. He is also associated with the law firm of Roberts and Jennings, Columbia, S. C., and its special counsel on insurance matters. His social club memberships are Forest Lake Golf, Pine Tree Hunt, Faculty and Columbia Drama clubs and the Columbia Art Association. Undervthe auspices of the school of business administration Dean Dei-rick and Mr. McFall initiated and promoted South Carolina In surance Day. Since returning to South Caro lina Mr. McFall has received quite a play from South Carolina news paper columnist sports writers. This is not strange as he first be came known to newspaper readers when he played baseball at the College of Charleston and then professional ball in the South Carolina state league. "He was a darned good shortstop," wrote Bill Rone in his sports column in the State. McFall knew Ty Cobb be fore the latter went into the Amer ican League. Another old friend was Eddie Collins of the Philadel phia Athletics, whom he met while Collins played ball for Columbia University. Teaching Career Mr. McFal)l got his bachelor's degree at the College of Charles ton, his master's degree at Colum bia University and his law degree at George Washington University. In his early career he was head master at Donaldson Military Academy; and then taught at George Washington University Law School. His first law practice was in Atlanta. It was In 190 e new Catholic Student Chapel at t is located at 1610 Green St. Catholic C Dedication Dedication ceremonies for a new Catholic student chapel at the university was held last Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., Father Theo philus I.

Later he was made vice-president and chief attorney. For a time he . was on the faculty of the Univer sity of Maryland Law School and he also served on Maryland Com mission on Higher Education. He was chairman of casualty and surety group on committee ap pointed by the governor of Mary land to study insurance regulations and was chairman of the special committee of Casualty and Surety Acquisition Cost Conferences, and also chairman of a committee of the U. S. Aviation Insurance group.
