74-year-old
donates medals
from the 1930s
By Cathy Armer
When 74-year-old USC student Jamci
Galloway visited Sylvan Jewelers to buy i
replacement for his stolen debate medal, h<
was more than a bit surprised by the recep
tion he received.
At first, "nobody had any idea" about th<
gold Gonzales Oratorial medal, Gallowaj
said. "They treated me like Rip Var
Winkle."
At that point, Galloway "realized I hac
acquired historical artifacts during mj
lifetime, and I'm still living!...So I dccidec
I'd better get rid of them (his 10 remaininj
medals) right quick, and put them in a saf<
place."
WHERE ELSE would Galloway, a retiree
newspaper columnist, federal investigato
and army tensor, who rcccivcd a degree u
business administration from USC in 1933
who recently resumed studies in philosoph;
and religion at the university and who march
ed to the State House to protest the raising o
the drinking age a few weeks ago, where elsi
would he I'hnrKi' m ftnnaff liii I rinhal.

museum?
McKissick Museum, in other words, **th<
logical place for people to put thci
memorabilia from their tmiversifv venrs.1' n
Curator of History Katherine Horiv
explained. "
McKissick houses a display of Oamecocl
historical objects and history. In addition t<
(ialloway's 10 medals, the display include
such \aiieu items as lormer um rresiuen
Robert Stimwalt's slide rule, dueling pistols
athletic uniforms and trophies, and thing

The objective of the exhibit is to educate
the public about the history of the university
and Columbia, Home said.
GALLOWAY'S 10 medals, for example,
reveal a 101 aooui mc campus urgaiuimiuns
popular in the late 1920s, the Columbia companies
that produced the medals and the
tradition of giving medals and awards at that
time. Although neither Galloway claims his
four years (1929-1933) were the "Golden Age
of Medals." "They were passed out like
crackerjacks," he said.

hoijiih temperatures hovered in the mid

"I can't say I saw flakes fall, but what
was on the ground didn't look like hail,"
lean Flom of Briarcliffe said.
"I believe it may have started as hail,
but it sure did look like snow on the
ground," she said. "I was shocked to
look out and see all that white stutt."
The substance covered a few acres of a
the Braircliffe development, which is hun
drcds of yards from the ocean.
Meteorologists were skeptical.
Lt. Joe Davis of Myrtle Beach Air
Force Base checked with the base
weathermen and said, "We had reports of
small hail at that time, but no reports of
snow whatsoever.
"I'm not saying it didn't happen,"
Davis said. "It'd be a freak of nature but
