(Staff photo by Ws USC Stuc First Ham By Barbara Hawthorne Feature Editor "Working as a page in the House is an education in itself," stated Miss Inez Watson, clerk of the S. C. House of Representa tives who is supervisor of the pages. Approximately 35 University students are serving during the present session of the House. When students, who have worked as pages, graduates from college, they usually give us as a reference, said Miss Watson. Even though they have assigned titles, we usually give them ex perience in all phases of work. The pages are assigned titles as chief page, assistant chief page, floor page, doorkeeper, elevator operator, general committee clerk, general committee and bill clerk, or general clerk. Wonderful Experience C. B. Watson, Jr., assistant chief page, expressed his feeling for his work: "It is a wonderful experience; it is first-hand train ing for anyone interested in poli tics." Every page is required to know the representatives by name, title, and county and where they are seated in the chamber, said Wat son. The general floor clerks take care of bills, distributing them to members, carrying them to the Senate, Legislative Council, and the Speaker's office. They also prepare the Speaker's robe, clerk's robe and prepare any other duty in preparation for the session to convene. Bill clerks and committee clerks p)roof read all journals and bills to correct possible errors. "If a bill contains a stated amount of money, and the printer makes an error in the amount, these clerks correct the error, If the bill were passed with the in correct amount it would have to be repealed, and a new bill intro duced,'' said Watson. D)o Many Jobs These pages also type letters and news which are sent concern ing acbions of the House and tserve as p)ersonal messengers to the Legislative Council, Pages serve as- doorkeepers and are responsible for keeping the door open and locking it when a roll call vote is taken. They also serve as floor clerks. Student pages run the elevators along with their other duties. A prs file of all bills, journals and calendars is kept by the pages. They send copies to the press gal lery. Also, copies of all state re ports are kept on file. Besides their duties while the legislature is in session, pages usually usher at state functions such as the inatuguration, unveil ings, etc. "Schedules are set up so that students can work between classes, and so that there will be a suffi cient number serving wvhile the sessions are convening," said Miss MEET YOU in GAMECO4 Good Food a StAlER FOI ION?. . . Billy Watson, Jim Fu hurriedly search through files to fin ilt) lent Page d Political Watson. Late Session Work Hard The pages have a minimum of three hours easy day to work, for which they are paid a regular sal ary. Near the end of the session, the work is hardest, reported Wat son. "Sometimes when the House is not in session, there is leisure time to study," said Watson. We work four days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Working hours may be scheduled between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on these four days. Each page wears a ribbon and name plate to signify his position. This is the first year these ribbons have been used, according to Wat son. "The pages learn to work with people which will always help them in whatever work they choose after graduation," said Miss Wat son. Appointments for pages are made by the Speaker of the House. The county -representatives may recommend someone, but the Speaker makes the appointments. Pages University men serving as pages during the present session are Thomas M. Mellette, chief page, C. B. Watson, Jr.,-assistant chief p)age, Donald C. Brannon, John J. Brooks, Edward T. Byrd, Jr., Burke L4. Cook and Joseph M. D)awson, pages. Also serving as pages are F. H. Dicks III, A.
