USC.TraM4 Employme "Emplonent b University of Soeth Carolina-trained chemists in the state has expanded greatly since 1945, writes Dr. H. Willard Davis, chairman of the Univer sity's Department of Chemistry, in the February issue of "Business and Economic Review," monthly publication of the University Bu reau of Business and Economic Research. "Prior to 1942," says Doctor Davis, "there were 89 graduates of the Department of Chemistry. Of these, 46 were employed outside the Southeast, 26 in South Caro lina, and 17 in the Southeast. Since 1945, the Department has grad uated 147 students. Of this group, 77 obtained employment in South Carolina, 40 work in the Southeast, and only 30 left the state and reg ion to accept positions." Doctor Davis views the shift in place of employment of chemistry graduates as a healthy sign. He says, "Not only have we in the past exported those seeking em ployment in chemical industry but we have exported those desiring further training through graduate work. These people represent the very best talent, and unfortunately few of them find their way back to South Carolina. More and more of our graduates are now staying in the state to work." Doctor Davis firmly holds to the idea that the excellence of a grad WUSC Progra Changes Made WUSC, the campus radio sta tion, has made a complete revision of its programming schedule. The changes which went into effect this week were announced by station manager, Bob Grosse. According to Grosse, the new schedule is patterned after that pioneered by NBC's "Monitor." It consists of several long programs with news inserts and breaks in stead of many short programs. The new schedule is designed to increase the information value of the station as well as to provide entertainment for the Carolina students, Grosse added. The schedule includes the con tinuous programming of music throughout the afternoon and eve ning with a variety of types to suit the varing tastes of the stu dent body. Featured in the new format are two three-hour pro grams of request music, "Mati nee" from 2:40 p.m. till 4:'45, and "Nightfall" from 8:00 to 11:00.

He pointed to the growth in research activities by the faculty of the University's-De partment of Chemistry as a meas are. of its increasing effectiveness and influence. For instance, in the past five years research papers published by chemistry faculty members in national journals in. creased from one to 14. In 1952 only one paper was published; in 1953, five; in 1954, seven; in 1955, ten; and in 1956, 14 reached a na tional audience. - Doctor Davis writes, "From 1925 until World War II, some Master of Science degrees were conferred but there was no emphasis given to graduate work. The graduate program was reactivated in 1948 and expanded in 1953 to include the Ph. D. in certain fields. The publication records for the period from 1952 reflect the success of this effort." T.he funds to promote research in the Department of Chemistry at the University of South Caro lina have increased almost every year since 1952. In 1952-53, $13, 500 in grants and contracts were obtained. In 1953-54 the figure rose to $15,400; in 1954-55 it was hiked to $29,000; in 195556, it amounted to $23,000; in 1956-57, the sum rose to $38,000; and in the current year it is running to $62,600.
