Caroin. By BEN McELVEEN Feature Editor Carolina students have a pub licity agent, tool In fact, the movie stars have nothing on University of South Carolina students or faculty members, for they both have a press ggent: the University News Service. Under the direction of Dr. Hennig Cohen, the University News Service is located on the second floor of the administrative building. The News Service has two primary functions: to publi cize the,university and to keep the public informed. News releases are distributed to hometown newspapers of all concerned-whether alumni, stu dents or faculty members of the university. They are usually edited according to their impor tance to the particular weekly or daily newspaper. Hence, almost every news release is treated in dividually. Radio and TV Coverage In addition to supplying news papers and the news services with information pertaining to the university, Dr. Cohen often ar ranges for coverage of campus events by television -and radio stations in Columbia. Also, the bulletins and catalogs of the uni versity are compiled by the News Service. Along with news releases, the University News Service ofter% supplies South Carolina news papers with photographs, which are handled by the official News Service photographer, Kern Pow ell. Illustrating feature articles or reporting on-the-spot news pictures, Kern Powell photograph ically touches on nearly every phase of university life. Political addresses, academic speeches, alumni affairs, student activities, faculty activities, these and many other such campus affairs are summarized by a Kern Powell photograph.

He is a new mem ber of the Department of Music. Coming to the university this fall from the University of Southern California, where he was working on his doctor's degree in music education, Professor Jones has only to complete his thesis before receivinig his degree.

Professor Jones, who says teaching will be his career from now on, has written a number of ( books and manuals for students and instructors of stringed In struments. He has also made two educational films on the same sub ject. Lecturer and Judge A recognized musician, he was called upon in California to lec ture to music groups and to judge contests, both orchestral and solo, to stimulate an interest in music as a career among young musi cians. Besides his classes in music theory, form, and analysis, and 'A stringedl instruments, Professor Jones is in charge of the uni 'versity orchestra. Concerning the orchestra, he says, "I hope that one day we will be able to build this orchestra into a large group which will play for the city of Columbia as well as the university, for an orchestra will help to broaden the cultural life of the city." Freshman Party Last Night Iast night a Freshman "Y'" party was held at the "Y" camp.

Flynn Hall Open for Students Plans are being made to have Flynn Hall open regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays for stu (lent recreation, study, and dis cussion. Some members of the cabinet will be present on these days. Previously the building has been open until 10 o'clock, but often the offices were closed. The "Y" is considering these plans in hopes that the "Y" building will be of more use to the students. "NY" Meetings for Next Week The YMCA board of directors will meet at Flynn Hall for a luncheon at 8 o'clock on Tuesday, February 15th; the YWCA will meet at the same time at Steward's Hall. The meetings are separated because this is a centen nial for the "Y." Both groups will discuss reports of the fall semester and appoint committees from the board members.

And then, reflecting or what he had said and consciously shifting himself to his usual side Crane, Tree Stop Traffic On Green St. Traffic piled up for blocks, gap ing "sidewalk superintendents, and a shower of dirt-this was the scene as a large crane lifted a white dogwood across Greem Street.

The meeting will be held in Flynn Hall at 5 p.m. The World University Service is the channel through which the students of the world unite "to help each other help themselves." Through the sharing of resources, knowledge, and experience, stu dents and teachers come together in mutual service. With 32 national branches at work in Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America, the organization works without race, nationality, reli gious, or political prejudice. It supports all efforts on the stu dents and teachers to meet basic needs of universities throughout the world. Directed mainly toward the solution of basic problems rather than the temporary alleviation of current needs, the work of WUS is planned under five fields of action. These are student lodging and living, student health, educa tional equipment, refugee service, and mutual education. WUS is sponsored internation ally by the World's Student Christian Federation, Pax Ro mana-IMCS, and the World Union of Jewish Students. It is ad ministered by a headquarters staff in Geneva. Switzerland. The service works closely with agencies of the United Nations, non-governmental u n i v e r s i t y groups, and national unions of students. About 90 per cent of the annual contributions in the United States come from colleges and universities. The other 10 per cent is given by churches, con ferences, and individuals. thority on plastics, Dr. Kline has served as technical editor of Modern Plastics Magazinee and editorial director of Modern Plas tics Encyclopedia since 1936.
