Though he no longer engages himself in this fascinating occu pation, Dr. Babcock's one venture into the field of bricklaying has proved an indispensaible benefit to Carolina students and faculty members. Mud Shoe-Top Deep When Dr. Babcock came to teach at Carolina, there were no sidewalks on the campus. This lack was most inconvenient; for, according to Dr. Babcock, "When it rained, the mud was shoe-top deep." So the young professor decided that something had to be done. The depression being at its deepest, funds for the sidewalk building project were difficult to raise; 1but, Dr. Babcock worked tirelessly, writing letters and soliciting such material con tributions as sand, bricks, and wheelbarrows from various com panies in Columbia. Worst Faults Laid In the afternoons he and his students laid the bricks them selves, from Sumter to Bull Streets. Dr. Babcock laid the very first brick, and one of his fellow professors, who was watching him, came up with an unusual idea. "Havilah," he said, "why don't you and I put our worst faults beneath this brick?"

At top is (Photos by Dunne.) an explanation, he was shown that the initials had been done in red brick, so as to be un noticeable to an unobservant eye. "Doctor," said the young fel low, "it means a lot to me to have them there; it'll ibe some thing my grandchildren can come and see, and remember me by. You owe me $125 for the work I've done; if you'll let me leave them, I'll give you a re ceipt for the money."

He does not like to begin or start something; he prefers to initiate, commence, or inaugurate it. Not for him the simple "send ing" of a message, he must for ward, transmit, or communicate it. lHe does not like to circulate in for'mation, but must promulgate, or dlissemninate it. The Long and the Short The ob!-uscator has a dislike although he'd rather have said abhorrence--of short words like if, so, for, and but. He would use in their place "in the event of," or "on behalf of," and he avoids the simple sentence like the plague. IIe will agree that there is room for improvement, but he wishes that you would say "amelioration," instead. The favorite dodge of these li terary phonies is to dress up their slim offerings in fancy gart: "Simians indigenous to Zamn boange are destitute of caudal ap pendages." Correct? S'ure, but why not say: "Monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga?" Ideas Make the Words For a language to be effective, there must be an idea behind each two-letter conjunction.
