Frank Watkins, South Carolina lawyer, during an address to law school students last Wed nesday. Watkins is a member of the American Bar Association com mittee which spent two weeks in Russia last July learning the methods of court operations there. In his address to the students, Watkins gave a report of that committee's work. Watkins was impressed with the fact that school teachers receive almost the highest salaries of any one in Russia. "They (the Russians) are tak ing their top brain power and using them to train their youth.' Teachers earn $250 per month, which is exceptionally high there for most other citizens earn a little as $75 per month. Slipped in Courts "We were permitted to see very little," he said. "However, we learned more than the ordinary tourist by slipping away from our guide and taking private tours of the courts." He noted that the Russian peo.

Watkins was amazed at seeing few men. "Apparently they were away in the Russian army or in heavy in dustry work." Living Standard Higher "Russia's standard of living is higher now than it was under the Czar's rule; however, it is very low compared with the standards here in the United States. Prices are exceedingly high. Nylon stock ings cost eight dollars a pair." Watkins is a former law partner of Samuel L. Prince, dean of the law school. According to Prince, Watkins is a leader in school leg islation, private enterprises and church work. Buchanan Asks S. C. Hospital Appropriations Dean George A. Buchanan of the University School of Journal ism presented the appropriation requests for the South Carolina state hospitals Nov. 15 to the State Budget and Control Board, le asked $6,217,325 per year as chairman of the S.

The state hospitals include Whitten Village and Pineland which are the two training schools of the state, and five mental health chliies operated at Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Spartan burg and Florence.

Meet Professors Julian J. Petty, Ed win Doran, Jr., Mali Korgen and Donald O. Bushman of the De partment of Geology and Geo graphy at the University attended the 11th annual meeting of the Southeastern Division of the As sociation of American Geographers Monday and Tuesday in Knoxville, Tenn. All meetings were held in the University of Tennessee Stu dent Union. Doctor Doran read a paper en titled "The Caicos Conch Trade," based on research and field work conducted in the Southeastern Ba hamas in the spring of 1954. Used commonly as doorsteps in the United States, conch shells are discarded in the Bahamas, whereas the meat of the conch is an im portant item of food and trade. Doctor Petty has served for years as a member of the organ ization's steering committee. The purpose of the Southeast ern Division is to promote and stimulate research in geography and its closely allied disciplines in the natural and social sciences. A highlight of the meeting was a field trip to Alcoa, Tenn., te visit a plant of the Aluminum Cor. poration of Anerica. Biologist Studies Penicillin Effect On Cockroaches I)r. .lames N. Liles of the Uni versity biology department fin ished his research this year on effects of penicillin on the Ger man cockroach. IIe was serving as a University Fellow, under a grant supported with funds from the Ohio State University for aid in fundamental research. "The purpose of my investiga tion was to determine some of the effects of various concentrations of penicillin administered orally to the German cockroach," he said. "The effects studied were growth rate, time to the adult stage, nortality, reproductive ca pacity and these samie effects in the second generation. I also stud ied the effects of penicillin on B Dri.

"We now have approximately 18,000 jars of specimens and around 93 different fresh-water species. In addition, there are 3,000 jars in the process of prep aration for storage," he said. Dr. Freeman has storage space in the basement of LeConte Col lege since his work has outgrown his laboratory in Room 115, Barn well. "We have completed surveys on Congaree River, Saluda River, the two main reservoirs on the San tee-Lake Marion and Lake Moul trie and Wateree River," Dr. Freeman explained. "We surveyed fish in the atomic energy area of Savannah River, and are undertaking a survey of Combahee River in the lower part of the state." Graduate Students Participate Two Ph.D. candidates are work ing on distribution problems at present, according to Dr. Free man, and the collections will be stored here for use by other grad uate students for problems in life history and systematic biology. The fish are constantly being loaned to other institutions for further study, he commented. Articles on fish distribution in the Congaree and Saluda Rivers are forthcoming in the University Biology Bulletin. Dr. Freeman's research is sup ported by the University Research Commission, National Science Foundation and the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Educa tional Fund. Research To Be Increased Research will be expanded over the Southeastern area of the United States, he said. Collections are made by seining field parties. The parties are composed of biology department members and interested students.
