PARLEY
BY KATHY SPARKMAN
Exams Are Over
Exams are over new and thank goodness.
Starting- last weekend, the girls’ dorms initi
ated All Quiet hour (AQH). This lasted until
Friday, December 18, when the last exam was over
at 5:00 p.m. It has been a tremendous help to
have the halls quiet for a change. The boys’ dorms
are ruled over by the hall proctors. It is up
to these worthy persons to keep the dorm as quiet
as possible; however, I seriously doubt that
there’s really a big change in the normal up
roarious atmosphere.
Old P. College won the Lander Invitational
Tournament Saturday night, December 5. That
was some game. The overtime was the most
horrible but we finally pulled through. We now
hold the Carolina Conference Championship, the
Bronze Derby, the L.I.T. Championship and the
Tip-Off Tournament Championships. We host
ed the Carolina Conference Banquet on Dec. 11
in Greenville Dining Hall where Cally Gault was
named Conference Coach of the Year.

Tax Break
COLUMBIA - More elderly
citizens are expected to take
advantage next year of the new
sales tax exemption on certain
medicines, the chairman of the
3.C. Tax Commission says.
Robert C. Wasson said the
first reimbursement on such
taxes paid by persons 65 or
over went to 619 citizens and
and averaged $2.60 per reim
bursement.
However, he pointed out, the
reimbursement was only for a
three-month period. Refunds
next year will be for the entire
fiscal year, July 1, 1970 to June
30, 1971.
“I think ten times as many
will apply,* Wasson said.
The State Legislature this
year granted a tax exemption
on certain medicines topersons
65 or over. The person and his
druggist had to fill out an ap
plication to be sent to the Tax
Commission.
The application certified to
the purchase of certain pre
scription medicines and, on
acceptance, entitled the pur
chaser to a refund of the four
per cent sales tax he paid on the
medicines.
Applications can be obtained
from county health or welfare
departments, the State Tax
Commission and S. C. Inter
agency Council on Aging in
Columbia, or district Tax Com
mission offices located in
Greenville, Spartanburg, Flo
rence and Charleston.
P.C. students have participated in several
activities beneficial to the Clinton area. About
30 people helped with a Christmas party for un
derprivileged children. We signed up and took
one child, bought him a gift, and went to a party
with him on Wednesday, December 9, at the
First Presbyterian Church. The children ranged
from ages 3 to 13. They saw several shows, in
cluding a magic show and a puppet show. The
highlight of the evening was the appearance of
Santa Claus as he distributed the gifts.
Also, on December 13, several students helped
the Clinton Jaycees solicit funds to heln other
Clinton children. These children are given mon
ey from the funds collected and taken to town
to buy whatever they want. They are required,
however, to buy at least one piece of clothing.
The annual Presbyterian College Christmas
dinner was held Wednesday, Dec.'DC Of course
it was a big success with Cornish hens and as all
meals are when Christmas food is served. Every
one had to dress and the dining hall really looked
nice. I wish it were Christmas all year round.
CHRISTMAS TEA
Dr. Weersing, the president of Presbyterian
College, and his wdfe held a lovely Chistmas tea
for the coeds on Thursday. Entering the double
doors covered by a mystifyingly huge wreath
(if you drive b their house, look at the door),
we were greeted by Mrs. Weersing, Miss Hill,
the Dean of Women, and the delicious aroma of
Russian tea. We w r andered all over the beauti
fully decorated house and especially admired the
large staircase. Wouldn’t it be exciting to come
down those stairs dressed in a formal Well, to
us girls anyway!
The whole campus closed for the holidays
(dorms, dining hall, everything) on Saturday,
December 19, so there won’t be anything for me
to write about for awhile but I’ll be back when
school opens again on January 3. We’re all in
hopes that we’ll be ready to start the new se
mester with a bang! Until then, Merry Christ
mas and Happy NewYear!!!
The next applications can be
made June 30, 1970, or there
after but not later than October
15, 1971.

No submarines can operate in

which are very hard, and some
times impossible to radar.
Sonar has the capabilities of
‘hearing* the sounds of motors
and water noise which are
caused by these small craft
moving through the water. The
information that comes from
sonar is vital for navigation,
water conditions and the safety
of the ship by giving an early
warning of any approching small
craft that may be carrying
weapons.
