a sesqui-centennial celebration
next year.
The Euphradian Society's mem
bership is open to any male stu
(lent at the university who is not
a member of another forensic so
ciety on this campus. It meets
each Tuesday night in the
Euphradian Hall and a half-hour
debate is held with all members
and visitors eligible to partici
pate.
The Hon. Mr. Hollings is a na
tive and resident of Charleston.
He is a graduate of The Citadel
and received his law degree from
the university in 1947. While at
the university, he was president
of the Law Federation, a member
of Wig and Robe honor society,
and on the staff of the South
Carolina Law Review.
Elected Three Times to House
He was elected to the South
Carolina General Assembly three
times from Charleston County,
leading a ticket of more than 20
candidates each time. He served
two terms as Speaker Pro Tem
pore of the state House of Rep
resentatives.
As a member of the House, he
introduced a House Resolution
calling for the appointment of a
committee to study the State Tax
Structure and provide for the
Public School needs. This commit
tee met and studied constantly
(uring the summer and fall of
1950. After consultation with ex
perts in the field of public educa
tion and state finance, it finally
in December prepared what is now
known as the Hollings' Report.
This was presented to Governor
James F. Byrnes, who accepted it
and recommended to the General
Assembly the program outlined in
the report.
Recommends Sales Tax
This program made recom
mendations as to school reorgan
ization, school construction, school
bus transportation and teachers'
pay. It recommended the retail
sales tax as a revenue measure to
carry out the program, and at
the same time recommended tax
relief in the special excise tax field
and the income tax field. The pro
gram was adopted by the 1951
General Assembly.
One of Mr. Holling's most re

men of the year by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.

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. . .."
