Orion Is C( December ( One of the most beautiful stars on Christmas Eve is the bluish white Sirius, sometimes referred to . 'as the Star of Bethlehem, accord ing to C. F. Martin, professor of astronomy at the university. Sirius appears in the early part of the evening in the southwest and shines as the brightest star in the northern hemisphere. The most conspicuous constella tion at midnight on December 24 is Orion, just past the meridian. This wonderful group of stars is easily identified by a row of three stars that forms Orion's belt. To the northeast of this row of three stars is the bright red star Betel geuse and opposite it is the bright star Bellatrix. Below the belt and to the west is the very bright star Rigel and opposite it to the east is the bright star Saiph. & The three faint stars below Orion's belt are called Orion's sword and in this group appears the famous nebula of Orion. Orion is the hunter and from his position other bright stars in the heavens at this time can be easily, located by drawing an are in the form of the rim of an umbrella, starting with the bright yellow star Capella What have V that filter tip haven THE AN 20,000 IN EVERY l Inside every Vicero; of 20,000 inidividua smoke over and ov< the full, rich taste c ut baccos . . . and Vil Yes, you get Vict tip . . . with 20,000 plus king-size lengt two more than eige WORLD'S LA FILTER TIP New Iing-SizeI Filter Tip ~ICERMO Only a Penny or Two mfspicuous :onstelation at the north and proceeding to the east through the twin stars Castor and Pollux, then through the Little Dog, Procyon, and then to the Big Dog Star, Sirius. Perhaps the most conspicuous sight in the entire month is the giant planet Jupiter. About 9:30 p.m. the brilliant planet can be seen in the east at an altitude of 20 to 30 degrees above the horizon. The identification is unmistakable as it is the brightest celestial body now in the heavens of the northern hemisphere. Through a good size telescope can be seen four of the twelve moons of this great planet. ,They are generally in a straight line. The nearest one to Jupiter is Io, then comes Europa, next Gany mede, and then Callisto. The first two are slightly smaller than our moon and the last two are much larger. Once in a while only three of these moons will be observed. The other one being hidden behind Jupiter. By observing the eclipsing of one of these moons when the earth was nearest to Jupiter and again when the earth was farthest from Jupiter it was discovered that light had velocity. Until that time many thought movement of light was instantaneous. ICEROYS got other cigarettes t ot? SWER IS FILTERS VlCEROY TIP r' tip is a vast network I filters to filter your r again.

Alumni Offi Track of Ol fy ED POWELL Gaiiecock Staff Writer The first door on the right upon entering the horseshoe has a just cla;m to the "home" of some of the most. important names in South Carolina, the United States, and even the world. Housed within this building are the extensive files of the Alumni Association, which under the efficient guidance of the alumni secretary, Ralph Lewis, at tempts to keep track of the esti mated 25,000 living alumni who graduated from the university. These graduates, who live in every state in the union and many foreign countries, each have a separate card in the Active Alpha betical File which lists his or her full name, a running record of ad dresses since enrollment, the year of graduating class and the school from which graduated. In the case of women, the major listing is under their maiden name with a supplementary card giving their married name, if known. The Active Alphabetical File also includes cards for the married students who did not graduate from the university with a suitable code on each card to indicate the situation. Mr. Lewis said that it takes three non-graduates to show the interest in the university equiv alent to that of one graduate. Problems of Files "The main problem encountered in keeping these files," said Mr. Lewis. "is that of keeping the ad dresses up to date, for to do our job we must know who the alumni are and where they are." The Active Alphabetical File goes back only as far as the class sogphere Diflerent! LIMONT'S offers you an ideal Tel. 3-5505 Open 5 P.M. to II P.M.

Today, the class of 1885 is the earliest to have any alumni still living. There are two: Sabritt Doty Dunn of Winnsboro and Edwin G. Seibels of Columbia. Mr. Seibels was very active in the university and alumni association affairs after graduation and was the donor of the Melton Observa tory in honor of William Davis Melton, president of the university from 1922-1926. Alum Information The Biographical File contains any information pertaining to the alumni, such as news clippings, photographs and miscellaneous in formation sent in by their friends, relatives and family. The Alumni Class File, broken down into three groups, Academic, Law and Grad uate, and arranged by years, dramatically shows the growth of the university from its early days by the increasing number of the cards down through the years. The purpose of these files is to enable the Alumni Association to keep alive an active interest in the university among the grad uates. More than a million pieces of mail a year are sent out by this office. They include for the most part the Alumni News which is published bi-monthly, the Alumni News Letter, published ten times a year on special occasions such as home football games, and tracer cards to bring the files up to date. Every alumnus and student whose address is known is sent at least one copy each of the Alumni News and the Alumni News Letter dur ing the year. Members of the Alumni Association receive each issue. Publication The publication of the Alumni News varies from 4,000 to 18,000. When at maximum publication it is sent to an estimated 76 to 80% of all the living graduate alumni. The Alumni Association at the university was organized in 1853 and is the 26th oldest in America. Since 1940, when the movement was started to bring the files up to date, Mr. Lewis and his co workers have done a job of which every prospective alumnus of the university can justly be proud.
