It was to be a battle between these two men that would deter mine the true leader of the now united empires that the two con testants represented. Long had the peopies of both areas been opportuled to state their choice of the best of the opponents, but in spite of ) oI 1 s taken and speeches imlade by tle advocates of both sides of the issue, the two empires had split internally into local interest factions.

There arose, however, in the late stages of the campaign, a problem inl one of the cultured Southern provinces. Unainious Support There seened to be almost unanimous stipl)port for Publi canus, fittingly enough, but this particuir ar1ea had iever, since the Great War of Civi1 Strife, supported the ideas of the Publi can Party. The Citizens For Action By Dneocritus strove brav-ely to Win back this vote-heavy, politically importait district, but to no succe;Sfll end. Oddly enough, it had been in this province that there arose the founding core of the unfortunate Erudite Ro mans group.

In the near future many Un 'iversity stutdent s will make the decision of where to work. The f o I 1 o w i n g inforniation should be helpful in making the decision. Although the figures seem to have been compiled by a South Carolinian (they favor the state so much) , they are accurate and correct. All information was taken from the "Monthly Review," published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Data released by the Depart ment of Commerce show personal income in the Fifth District states at record levels for 1959. The Fifth District in e I u d e s South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, and the Dis trict of Columbia. IleiI limaprovenitt Within the Fifth District the best percentage improvement oc curred in South Carolina. Total incOme in the state rose by $225 million or 8 . In per capita ternis, the increase in South Carolina amounted to $85. While this does not represent the greatest amount dollarwise, it is the highest percentage gain per capita inl the District. SOUTH CAROLINA'S PERCENTAGE INCREASE WAS AS GOOD OR mB:TTER THAN THAT IN 44 0 F T I I E 49 REM1AINING STATES. IT WAS ALSO A 2% HIGHER CIIANGE THAN THAT OF THE UNITED STATES. The state's 11 '.. reduction in farm income was the lowest (1101) in the farming category for the Diistrict. Its income from wages and salaries paid by.manufactur in. enterpiises increased 131,. This high increase was al.so re (10rded byv Nort.h Carolina.

Khrushchev announced to a jami-packed news conference at the Kremlin this week that since he wouldn't give "two ruplcs" for th - Democratic and Republican candidates for United States Presi dent, he would seek the office him self - as a write-in candidate.

As the median age in the United States continues to in crease, our hospitals and nurs ing homes will be that much miore b)urd(enedl. We are becominig an elderly nat ion, and our family medical hills are going to rise steadily within the next generation. H ospitals have been caught in a frightful hind, as the cost of medical services goes up. The scarcity of labor for these lowv paying jobs is one of the biggest factors in the steep increase of hospital rates. There seems no way out of this impasse. Why are wvartime needs always considleredl more "essential" than peacetime needs ? Civil emergen cies can affect the population as severely as military emer-gencies; and, in fact, the role of the aver age soldlier' is going to be dlimin ished in the future, while the role of the nurse wvill probably become much more imnportant.
