Caroliniana Contains All S. C. Authors By ANN PARKINSON Staff Wuiter Have you had trouble locating that book on South Carolina for a term paper, or do you need a quiet place to study? The South Caro liniana Library is the answer. Located at the lower corner of the horseshoe, the South Caro liniana Library was the first sepa rate college library in the United States. The central portion was completed in 1840 and fire-proof wings added in 1927. The architect of the exterior is unknown, but the contractors bills are on file with no payment for the architect. The reading room was copied from Bulfinch's Li brary of Congress. With 35,000-40,000 volumes, the library has all the works of South Carolina writers. Not only books are in the li brary. Manuscripts, newspapers, maps, and pictures are stored there. The music of South Carolina composers, and music about the state are available. In 1937 a society was formed to collect materials for the library. For those who have not been in there yet, they are encouraged to take just a few minutes and go in and browse around.

Preparing the stage and back stage complex of a seldom - used, quite - confuied, and oft - abused auditorium such as Drayton Hall can be as exciting . . . and as dangerous as an invitation to a be heading. With our courageous leader, Technical Director David Dreiman in the lead, our small but hardy band of roustabouts began the essential and fascinating chore of translating Truman Henderson's lovely diagrams into actual set tings. Before plank one can 1w placed on the buzz .aw, the dirty work was attacked. Can you imagine such dainty females as Ruth Henderson, Innis Anderson, Kathy Cormack, Cecil Hardy, and many others, up to their elbows in dirt, cast-off props, mouldy costumes, etc.? ... and such work-avoiding individuals as Tru man Henderson, David Dreiman, your reporter, and some of the .healthy specimens from the athletic dlepartment hauling planks, moving~ machinery . . . and slipping out for ookes.

The ASME is a professional so ciety with chapters in numerous schoals of engineering and uni versities. Officers of the USC chapter are Jake Butts, chairman; Hubert Roberts, vice chairman; Rodney Epting, recoriing secre tary; Brooks Drew, corresponding 3acretary; and Charles McEachern, treasurer. Student I Not A Hj I, too, am a Christian. I smoke curse (seldom), drink on (occa. sion and usually in moderation) and raise hell (when time and cir cumstances permit). Who am I? I am the r,:st of you. Perhaps w( are not the majority, but mor< than likely, we are. Outside of my own group am essentially the same as whec within the group. I smoke when ] talk to a professor or a preacher If I'm drinking I don't hide m3 drink. Am I rationalizing?

The highlight of the soci activities is the annual Engineer Ball sponsored by the Joint Cou: oil of engineering societies.

Being a Christian does r necessarily infer that one must a church - going, Bible - readir dogma-spouting person. It mea that one adheres to the moral a social ethics that Christianity, a virtually every other major r< gion of the world, professes.

'i- The ASME also strives to pro n- mote a feeling of kinship in the es profession for its members. Local - membens compete in national con tests. The promotion of higher aca demic and professional standards is another aim of the ASME. Every Christmas members make toys for local orphans and under do privileged children. Members were active in pro ot moting and in the preparation of be the Engineering Exhibit held at g, USC last year. The USC chapter ns works in cooperation with the nd Joint Council, which is composed nd of three representatives from each i- of the four different engineering societies, in all projects. oy A yearly ASME scholarship will 're be offered by the Frank B.
