’44 CLASS SPIRIT
Upon notification of his election. Park Scott expressed his determination to inject new spirit into the class of '44:
“The freshman stag offers a wonderful opportunity for all freshman men to become acquainted with each other and it is such activities as this which will bring the freshmen, as a class, into a more solidified group. The freshman committee has a number of events planned for our class, and we can show our appreciation by our attendance.”
Quiz Broadcast to Originate on SC Campus
Producer to Interview Wallbank, Volunteers Among Students
The Trojan man-on-the-campui will at last have the opportunity I to air his views before the public when “Voice of Troy,” ad-lib stu-dent-quiz broadcast, will emanate direct from the shadow of Tommy Trojan from 1:30 to 1:45 p.m. today over station KRKD.
Joel Chadwick, student producer and master of ceremonies, will first Interview Dr. T. Walter Wallbank, associate professor of history, after which he will invite onlookers to participate in the proceedings.
Volunteers from the crowd will then answer impersonal queries concerning their native countries or home states. Interviewees will j also name their major interests in the university.
“If the folks back home are able to get KRKD on their radios they are likely to hear the voices of their offsprings saying. ‘Hello, ma. hello, pa,” Producer Chadwick said yesterday.
Chadwick also produces and announces the Film Book Club of the Air,” a weekly Trojan feature over KRKD and will act as narrator for the Trojan newsreel review at the Freshman stag tonight.
tion would act as a coordinating aircncy to enable volunteer social workers to use their time more efficiently in guidance programs for “delinquent children and those chil-dien who are being tempted to go off the straight path.”
PLAN ADOPTED
The plan, which suggests that a paid student worker should head the organization, was adopted unanimously by the ASSC body.
A letter from a student request- 1 ing an all-university talent show was read by Johnston at the meeting. A motion made by Frank Swirles, president of the College of Commerce, that the senate sponsor the undertaking, was approved.
A committee later will be appointed to develop plans for the production, and letters will be sent to several eastern colleges to ascertain methods of presenting the alluniversity affair.

ANSWERS QUESTIONS
Concerning the question ‘’Can Democracy Endure?” Dr. Helsel concluded, “Notwithstanding all influences to the contrary, there are free persons of an opposite opinion. They still seek to use the I means of institutionalism, but they also resolve that the spirit of democracy shall not perish from the earth.”
Following the lecture Dr. Helsel answered questions by the audience.

Indian Portraits Feature Exhibit in Fisher Gallery
Paintings of the American Indian are the feature portraits on exhibit in the center gallery of the Elizabeth Holmes Fisher Gallery of Fine Arts.
"These paintings are records of past life and each one tells a story that is exciting and interesting.” said Miss Winifred Poingdestre, curator.
The oldest portrait on exhibit is Joseph Wright's "Indian Legend.” This painting was finished in 1780, and is held in high esteem by art critics. It shows an Indian woman patiently waiting for her dead husband s spirit to come and bid her a last farewell before leaving for the happy hunting grounds.
Wright's conception of an Indian woman is romantic. The woman in this painting possesses few of the characteristics of an Indian Woman. according to art critics.
Frederic Remington's Edge of the Hunting Grounds” illustrates the heat and bareness of the great American desert. This portrait shows a tired, old Indian sitting on his horse looking upward into the sky.
Other Indian portraits include the action paintings of Charles Russell’s Buffalo Hunt" and Charles Schroyvogel's “In Hot Pursuit.’' These portraits are considered to be masterful by art critics.
