It always is for Carolir Clemson. People may even hands and cheer a little bit. Ei to relax and celebrate. As always, a few students too cheerful and have to be the stands. A few others will ting red-eyed and rowdy by celebrating. Just having fun, it look to other folks? Peoph to Carolina. Collegiate Urbana, III.-Since success in teacRing is closely related-in the publie mind, at least-with how the teacher "understands" children, educators at the Uni versity of Illinois are trying to find out if this understanding can be measured. This is a prob lem in "social perception" which is being studied in the univer sity's Bureau of Educational Research. The National Insti tute of Mental Health of the U. S. Public Health Service has granted $12,900 for the project. Prof. N. L. Gage of the Col lege of Education is undertaking to devise tests which will show how teachers "see" their pupils. One means of doing this is to prepare a series of questions and ask the teacher to predict how each pupil will answer them. Then the pupils are given the questions and actual results are compared with the predictions. The test can be varied by using different kinds of questions, dif ferent groups of pupils, and by asking the teacher to predict results from' pupils with whom she is unacquainted, such as those she knows only through the medium of a sound picture. It is not intended to evaluate the teaching. From the results obtained, Prof. Gage hopes to arrive at the "generality" of social per ception which is how much of this kind of understanding is transferable from one situation to another. It means, Prof. Gage explains, the degree to which a teacher has the same relative success in judging people on different things-or in judging different people on the same things. If social perception scores can be connected with the ways in which teachers get along with their pupils, the research will lead to better understanding of the teaching process.

Decca this year celebrates its 20th anniversary in the record business and Kitty finds herself a big recording star with two smash hits, "Little Things Mean A Lot" and "Chapel In The Moonlight," on the Decca label and a new one, "I Want You All To Myself," well on its way into the hit class, Kitty's- break into stardom as a single came after years of trying with only mediocre suc cess.

Philadelphia, Pa.- Activities varying from athletics to debat ing will be represented (luring this year's . . . Organizations Publicity Drive at Temple Uni versity. The new system, which was in an experimental stage last year, has proved a success and will set the pattern for fu ture activities rush weeks, ac cording to Miss Elvira K. Woerle, activities counselor. This newly-inaugurated semi annual event consists of two periods of activity. Orientation Day for entering freshmen is followed by the publicity drive, which is the promotional period for extra-curricular groups. The drive's primary purpose is to ac quaint new students with the activities here. However, Miss Woerle encourages upperclass men as wfll to seek candidacy into organizations. Participat ing in the publicity drive will be more than 25 groups, including religious clubs, speech societies, political organizations, language groups, fraternities and sorori ties, and military clubs, all of which will display posters and literature on their respective tables. The main problem encountered by previous unorganized rush weeks was that freshmen were frequently lost to extracurricular groups because they had no chance to become acquainted with these groups. Last year the problem, recognized by the Of fice of Student Personnel, was solved by compressing all rush activities into one week of re cruiting. Miss Woerle, in citing other advantages of this system, said, "The organized rush week gives the leaders within these organ izations personal contact with lienm ---Years clubs and as the singing star of several radio shows but the fame that comes with a million-selling record wasn't to arrive for some time. Early in 1954, Kitty went to several record companies and offered to foot all costs of a recording session for the chance to prove she could produce the kind of record the public would buy. Decca's a&r man, Milt Gabler, bought her idea and the result was "Little Things Moan A Lot," now well beyond the million mark in sales. That started the ball rolling. Another solid hit, "Chapel In The Moonlight," fol lowed andl during her recent summer one-nighter tour Kitty drew crowds as big as 6,500 and earned more than $10,000 a week. Incidentally, the records she cut with Harry James are cur rently being released by Colum bia with Kitty getting star billing.

Acting a fool ,lse.-BL PATSY PENNEY Enright T1 To Addresi The man was Coach Enright, the group the Sophomore "Y," and the speech a bundle full of dynamite. The time was one week before the Big Thursday game and the coach (he con fesses he is sometimes called Rev. by the simple mistake of changing the x in Rex) with many a pressing problem was not too busy to speak to a group of Carolina students. "Defeat is not fatal unless it is final" might be called the punch line of the whole speech and it too may express the philosophy of a team which has certainly had its share of ups and downs. Coach Enright says that when he returned from West Point, he was a "stupendous coach" and the team was a bunch of "supermen." A long weekend later the same group of super men were the lowest bums of the earth and the coach on even a lower rung of the ladder. Despite all of this though, the team fights on and Coach Enright pro fesses the belief that the "stu dents are fair." A good point which was the students who are joining the organizations." Lubbock, Texas-Texas Tech nological College and Baylor University have jointly an nounced a cooperative five-year program in engineering. The student would study three years at Baylor, and then would attend Texas Tech for two years and a summer session, majoring in some branch of engineering. At the end of the five years, the successful student will receive both the Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor and the Bachelor of Science degree in the appropriate branch of engineering from Of Hard V gory. The p)ublic will select its favorite instrumentalists--13 in all. In addition to the dance and jazz band categories and the four vocal winners' classifica tions, there are places for best small combo, vocal group, and arranger. DOWN BEAT will announce poll winners in the Dec. 29 issue. I,es Brown carried off first pace honors in the favorite swing band category in DOWN BEAT'S recent Bailroom Operators poll. Once again Guy Lombardo topped the sweet band voting, with Les Elgart capturing first place in the most promising swing band division. Other winners include: Hank Thompson, Western Band; Perez Prado, Latin American Band; Whoopee John, Polka Band; Ralph Marterie, Favorite In strumental Leader; Lawrence Welk, Best Show Band; Eddy Howard, F avyor i te Singing Leader, and Ernie Rudy, most promising sweet barnd.

FRANKIE LESTER, former vo caliet with BUDDY MORROW, OTUA ikes Time Students brought out in the profram was that the Gamecock players are Carolina students first and foot ball players second. They are no different from the rest of the students here. In the school we have good, bad, and indifferent students. Those are found too among the gridiron heroes. What about the fabled cars that the players are supposed to possess? Where do they come from? Some people would give their eye teeth to knoW that. The simple explanation lies in the answer to the question "Where do other students get their cars?" A lighter s1de to a serious discussion is the tale of the player in a long ago Carolina Clemson game when a substitute had to report that he was going in the game and whose place he was taking. Brown ran to the referee yelling "Brown going in!" He charged on to the field only to be called back and asked the name of the man for whom he was substituting. The answer -"Brown going in for Caro lina!" Texas Tech. "This program will afford a broader opportunity for a more general education than is offered in the regular four-year curri culum in engineering," President W. R. White of Baylor and President E. N. Jones of Texas Tech said in their joint state ment. "The plan gives the engi neering student ample opportun ity to take a substantial amount of work in the humanities and other non-technical studies, meet ing a demand of industry for engineers with a broader back ground," the two educators con tinued.

CONCERTS & TOURS: The "Biggest Show of '54," starring PEGGY LEE, mILLY PImr "Harry. HAry, HARRYI" AL TISON Small Thing But Not Lei This has been a great week for political "faux pax"-the greatest of them came from our Secretary of Defense, Charles Wilson, when he attempted to be "dog-matic" about unemploy ment. And there's the story about the Georgia politician who said, "We will never -have segre gation down here, no matter what the Supreme Court says." But as far as we South Caro linians are concerned, the recent statement on the part of Gen. Harry Vaughn, in backing up ex-president H. Truman's en dorsement of Mr. Edgar Brown for U. S. Senator, is the most appropo - Gen. Vaughn said "Harry (Truman) can forgive small things like murder and rape, but when a man leaves the party, Harry's against him." Both Harry and Gen. Vaughn were, of course, referring to Strom Thurmond, who left the Democratic Party, along with the majority of the voters of South Carolina, back in 1948 to defend States Rights. at the end of three years the student decides he does not wish to continue in engineering, he may attend Baylor for an addi tional year and receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. &Dr. Jones said that the cooperative plan is similar to a program which will go into effect at Texas Tech this month whereby the student earns both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in five years and a summer.

They'll play ROLFE L1IEBERMANN's "Con certo for Jazz Orchestra and Symphny Orhestra." -HADSUM 00 ST P DOWN s Forgiven, iving Party It has been rumored that when Mr. Brown heard that Harry Truman had endorsed him in the election, Mr. Brown said that it didn't really mean anything, and besides, Harry's sick, you know. And while we are on this point of loyality, let's examine it there's no doubt that Harry Tru man is a loyal Democrat, but if Harry ran for President again, would YOU vote for him? Would It make any difference that he was liberal and you were con servative, as far as loyalty is concerned? If a person voted for Mr. Thurmond, and Mr. Thur mond were elected, would that person be a write-in-ocrat, or some other non-democratic class ification in spite of the fact that Mr. Thurmond calls himFelf a Democrat 'and will undoubtedly list himself as one if elected? If it were possible to place political loyality on the same basis as that of family or church loyality, then Mr. Brown would have a valid talking point.' But, whereeas the demands of family and church are definite, and the actions of them subject to little or no compromise, just the op posite is true of political parties. The main reason the Mr. Thurmond is not listed on the South Carolina Democratic Party Candidate ticket, is because he was not given the opportunity now that he has announced as a wvrite-in candidate, and further announced that he is a democrat, does it make sense that his op. position s-hould appeal to the voter's loyalty to the Democratic Party--to the National Demo eratic Party, including Harry Truman and kennel dog Alger Hiss, or to the State Democratic Party, who could find no way to allow the people to chose their Senator ? In such a case, the voters should be allowed to pull a lever marked "Loyalty to States Democratic Party" or "Loyalty to National Democratic Party," so thatewhen the next election comes around, it can be deter mined whether such-and-such a voter is being disloyal to the State Party or to the National.

E Bro.n B DEW JAMES Good Way To .Prediot The Score How To Pick'em Dept.-After several weeks of sciehtific Nif vestigation and after pages of calculations in the realm of higher math, we have formulated a system for prognosticating 'the outcome of .gridiron duels. All you have to do is tak; a Friday's newspaper and reverse the pre dictions of the sportscasters and sportswriters. We ain't maintaining that this system is flawless, but per centages have a way of picking up. A feller named Christian Dior had a bright idea late in the summer which seems to be losing its candle-power. No offep^ in tended to Mr. Dior, but it seems to us that only a flathead would dream' up this new flat look. 4 After considerable observation, we have concluded that an ele vated version of the corset is the only remedy for some if they elect to follow the Dior decree, and we question the logic of this statement. In our fashioned-minded home town of Loris, this summer, we conducted a public opinion pole for the w3ekly "Sentinel." after the Frenchman went off his rocker. One of the quotable comments we remember was from a beachcomber who said, "Is this guy grazy! Since the babes took to "cat cuts," (the short hairdos) that's the only way you can tell 'em from the peg panters." By "peg-panters," the cool cat meant the male se ent of the combers. Final forecast on Dior-The way we 'figger't is that this whole deal will go over about like a lead balloon with a hole in it. One of our dear features writers ltely turned poet at tached this bit of sympathetio verse to one of her, features which was tardy but not too late. "Poor Dew . . . He's in a stew . . .
