F. Boone by Alpha Kappa Gamma, wom ternity. The directories will be sold for twenty-five cents, proceeds of the sale to go to AKG's Student Loan Fund. AKG Sells Books In this manner, Dean Patterson explained, the entire student body will benefit from the sale of the directories in that the monies will be made available to those worthy students at the University in need of financial assistance from AKG. Under the new set up, he said, the directory published by the ad ministration and that published by Blue Key will be fused, thereby eliminating duplication. Further, he said, the Blue Key directory had not been a self-sup porting project and had created c er t ai n administrative problems. The entire cost of the new publica tion is being borne by the Texas concern, he emphasized. Early Directory Finally, he added, under this new plan, the students will receive the directories earlier than in previous years. The directories, which are the size of a standard telephone direc tory, w i ll contain virtually the same information as included in the old Blue Keys, as \vell as local advertising on yellow pages. The cover, done in yellow and black, will feature the Caroliniana Libra ry. According to ' u s a n Nettles, president of AKG, Virginia Porch er will head the committee for the sale of directories.

Calhoun Papers. This is the beginning of a sig oficant contribution to future overnmental thought, for more han 30,000 Calhoun papers have een discovered and organized in he South Carclinian Library. John C. Cathoun's political hilosophy is still an important actor in American statesmanship, ven though the Civil War coun eracted his specific support of otates Rights. S. C. Native Calhoun, a native of the Abbe ille area in South Carolina, served iore than 40 years in the South ,arolina Legislature and the Na ional Congress. He also became lecretary of War, Secretary of itate, and Vice President of the Jnited States. Throughout his areer Calhoun held to the prin iple: "The Constitution is my tter of instruction." Included in the first volume are 0 letters written by Cathoun in is youth and eight written to im, many of which are being pub shed for the first time. The vol ame also contains 81 of the states ian's speeches and legislative pa ers, which cover all of the six ,ears of his service in the House. In 1812 Calhoun was the fervent 'oung nationalist battling to bring onservative congressmen to arms. Vhen he dared to speak in re uttal against veteran John Ran olph of Roanoke, the young na lonalist got the better of the argu ient and was called one of the master spirits." Cast Iron Man The "cast iron man," as he was alled, wanted to bind the Repub ic together with manufactures ) balance agriculture, the protec ive tariff, a national bank, and iternal improvements. The first volume closes as Cal oun becomes Secretary of War nder President James Monroe in 817. This new edition of the "Cal oun Papers" will rank with the ublished editions of the writings f Henry Clay, Benjamin Frank n, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas efferson, James Madison, and ther distinguished Americans. the above publications are being isued or are in preparation at ther centers of learning through ut the country at this time.
