INommnatk Monday, For Cam Nominations for all studei be held next Monday and Tue council committee on nomina Visiting Prof Will Address Clariosophics fly PAT TREACY Gamecock Staff Writer Dr. Carl Metz, visiting geology professor from Austria, will ad dress the Clariosophic Literary So ciety Tuesday. His topic will be "The Place of the Austrian Uni versity in Cultural Life." The address will be open to the public. After his five-week stay at Car olina, Dr. Metz will go visit Le land Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. "The first sight of New York filled my eyes with wonder," he said when describing his first im pressions of the U. S. Dr. Metz has traveled widely throughout the world but this is his first visit to America. Currently he is mak ing field trips in and around the coastal plain and the Piedmont of North Carolina. He is also gather ing impressions of the various col leges he visits and comparing them to the European system of higher education. Visits For Two Reasons Dr. Metz said that his visit was prompted by two things; one was to compare the mountains in America with the mountains of the Mediterranean and the other was to see how Americans thought and acted on the college level. The geology professor lives in a small town in Austria 30 kilo meters from the Iron Curtain and is virtually surrounded on all sides by Russians. Yet, he says that the people are influenced greatly by America who are over 3,000 miles away. Past Travels In past travels, Dr. Metz has worked in Turkey, Greece and other Islamic countries. He stud ies the rocks in these places today in order to find clues to past civilizations. When comparing the cultures of ages before Christ with the pres ent, he mentions an experience he had in Greece. While exploring a barren village he came across an inscription of a little-used donkey trail. The inscription was in Greek and had been put there centuries before the birth of Christ. It read "virtue." From such signs as these, Dr. Mets has gained insight into today's cul tures. A spokesman for the society has said that Dr. Metz is not only an expert in the field of geology, but is also a personality of much charm and wit.

'I Want A Word' Is On WIS-TV Dr. Havilah Babcock and 10 students from his English 129 classes, "I Want a Word," pre sented a 30-minute program on WIS-TV Wednesday, March 16. This was the final performance in the "Lamp of Learning" series staged by the university, Students taking part in the pro gram were Al Wells, Louise Her ron, Hector Betancourt, Jo Russell, Teall Spaulding, Ina Clare Guerry, Bill Nicholson, Copley Smoak, Paney Bauknight, Billy Watson, Charles Nock, D. C. Roden, and Richard Horne. In introducing the program, WIS announced that English 129 is "one of the most famous courses offered at the university." These words came to life with the rapid fire oral quiz in which the 13 students participated. The audi ence contributed to the program by phone calls. In fact, Dr. Bab cock said the phone calls kept him "as busy as a one-armed man with the seven-year itch." The WIS officials said there were many good programs in the "Lamp of Learning" series, but the one that took the cake as far as audience reaction was concerned was the final program. The only thing approaching a casualty happened immediately after the show when Dr. Babcock walked into an overhead beam and almost knocked himself into a horizontal position. As a result of the show, Dr. Babcock received an offer to go into television professionally, but his reply was characteristic and brief: "I thank you very much, sir, but you may go plumb to. . .." Air ROTC Band Plays Original March Composition The university Air Force ROTC band played last week for the first time the complete scoring for an original march composition, "The American Way March." Working on the composition have been Richard E. Lindell, per cussionist, a freshman from Alken; J. Alton Eadon, clarinetist and a freshman from Manning, and John Mitchum, baritone horn player, a sophomore from Manning. The three play in the Air Force ROTC band. The composition has been dedi. cated to Horace Heidt and named after the latter's nationally known show. Cadet Capt. Charles L. Thomson of Greenville is the leader of the Air Force unit band. t
