To Join
Jose Chung, Reporter
The International Students Club
has big plans for this semester
and urges American students to
join and participate in their
activities.
Ever a I n c e the International
Students Club was formed, its
main aim has been to encourage
social and cultural e x c h a n g e
through friendship and fellowship
among students of all nationali
ties on campus. It is open to all
students regardless of nationality,
faith, or race.
What better way can a student
learn about other countries than
from their students? You have an
opportunity to learn their customs,
their ways of living, their differ
ences in culture; you can learn
what they think about America
and Americans, and make valuable
friends.
As for activities, several parties
are planned. An International Day
as well as an International Dinner
is scheduled in which every stu
dent will have the opportunity to
u.'te delicious food from other
countries, prepared and cooked by
the foreign students themselves.
There will be folk (lances, singing, %
picnics. swimming parties, and I
barbecues, according to the sea- t
sons' weather. t
You may get great benefits by
joining the International Students I
Club. Your knowledge of other
lands will increase, and you will
be enjoying yourself at the same

Dr. Batsor
BY PRECIOUS ZURLO
Assistant Feature Editor
I)r. Wade T. Batson, a professor
in the Biology Department here at
USC, has compiled the first guide
book to South Carolina wildflowers.
The publishing of this pictoral
survey is being undertaken by the
University of South C a r o l i n a
Press. In the first edition 10,000
copies will be printed.
Dr. B a t s o n, specializing in
botany, undertook this task ac
cidentally. About eight years ago, -
the professor started carrying a
camera around with him when he
went to the country. More for
tunate than many amateur pho
tographers, he produced beautiful
color prints. With this as encour
agement, he continued to carry his
camera with him. Nowv he has ac
cumulated over '100 pictures. Dr.
Batson has found that the best
time to photograph plant life is in
mid-morning. Even then, there is
no way to tell whether the flowecr
will be open or not. After a two
hour trip to photograph a certain
flower which grows in the mnoun
tains, for instance, all the blooms
might be closed. In this case Dr.
Batson would either decide to make
the trip again in a few (lays, or
~postpone it u n t i 1 the following.
year. When asked what kind of
photographer he was, Dr. Batson
replied, "a patient one."
A randlom selection of 200 pho
tographs, all in color, has gone into
his book, Wildflowers in So ut h
(a rolina. Each is accompanied by
an explanatory paragraph giving
its scientific and common name and

them worked out a plan for the
introduction of recreational equip
ment. Five coin-operated four by
eight billiard tables were brought
in along with two 32 feet long duck
pin alleys, and several smaller
pieces of equipment. Six students
were hired on a part-time basis,
so that a student assistant would
be on duty at all times; two mar
ried students, two graduate stu
dents, and two undergraduate stu
dents.
The money which is taken in
rom the coin-operated machines is
split fifty-fifty; half of it goes
to Sparks Specialty Company to
help defray the cost of the $6,000
worth of equipment, and half of it
goes to the University S t u d e n t
Union Committee.
The Student 1'nion'S share of
the money has thus far been used
in different ways; to provide a
Christmas party for the married
students' children; to underwrite
the cost of the cartoons shown
during exams; to provide more
recreational equipment; and to
pay the student assistants.
The card room, adjacent to the
zame room, is furnished in an at
tractive decor; there are 12 card
tables with recessed ashtrays, 48
-hairs, and handsome murals on
he walls. Cards. scorepads, and
pencils are issued by the game
room attendant in exchange for
an 1.D. card. C h e s s sets and
