“May the spirit of Christmas lighten your hearts, enable your desires, inspire your generosities, and strengthen your faith. In receiving. as in giving, may blessings flow: in sharing as in befriending, may the light of the star of Bethlehem give warmth and satisfaction.’’
In issuing the statement, Dr. Von KleinSmid officially announced that the university will be closed from tomorrow through Wednesday in observance of the Christmas | holiday.

Mrs. Roosevelt’s nomination was opposed by Sen. Theodore Bilbo,
D.. Miss., who said:
"I cannot and will not give my advice and consent to the appointment of Mrs. Roosevelt. I know I speak for 99 per cent of my people in Mississippi when I dissent to this nomination. I will not take the time of the senate now to explain my reasons.”
Barkley, praising Mrs. Roosevelt's devotion to “great causes close to the hearts of men and women,” said “she never allowed the fact that she was first lady of the land to interfere with her activities; she will add much to our delegation.”

New job chances rise in television
A chance for circus people, tight rope walkers, trapeze artists, and clowns, juggling acts, magicians, and many other people who have been out of the running entirely In radio may get their opportunity to perform when television comes into general use
Television will make room for all types of amateur performers in small towns. To date, television pictures cannot be projected over a very large radius. This means there will be a need for a large number of small stations in many cities.
The entertainers named above were very popular in vaudeville days.
With the coming of the motion picture and radio, their services were no longer needed. At the present time, the entertainment field is very limited because just one artist may be heard over the radio or seen on the movie screen by millions of people.
Television will make the situation different. One group of performers putting on a show over the television screen will reach a smaller percentage of the people than regular radio shows do.
A greater number of technicians will be used in the production of television shows also. Camera men, directors, producers, electricians and many others will be able to find work right in their own home town. They will no longer have to go to Hollywood or New York to find a job.
“Lord, I would seek respite amidst the busy day, to find renewed con-fidence and undergirding strength , in thee.’’
The Christmas rush can be observed everywhere. Noise, confusion, and commercialism herald the approach of the holiday season.
In one spot on the campus, however, peace and quiet reign. The Little Chapel of Silence is the home of personal assurance and inward calm. Every student and teacher, i regardless of class, color, or creed ! can worship the common religion of Christianity there.
An invitation is sent out by the Council of Religion to take advantage of this place of worship and go there any day of the week, or meet for group worship Tuesday at 12:45.
The Little Chapel of Silence, a gift from Mrs. Walter Harrison Fisher, is located behind Town and Gown, across from the Hancock foundation. It is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Troy overjoyed on shortest day
Nat only will holiday-spirited Trojans be happy at today’s coming, but also they can rejoice in the fact that it is the shortest day in the year.
The earth, on its annual trip a-round the sun. will be farthest from I the sun at 9:04 this evening. How-! ever, only people of the northern ; hemisphere will enjoy the short day. In the southern half of the world summer will reach its peak, where it will be the longest day of I the year.
Lost and found articles prove fashion trends
Milady’s latest fashions In millinery are on display at the lost and found department of the information office.
A chic creation, found somewhere on the campus, is a small, pert, gray felt affair with a black ribbon band and a black, wide-meshed veil with dangling felt strips.
A dispute arose yesterday in the information office as to the function of the veil.
Dr. Carleton Mann, In charge of the office, maintained it should be worn in back as a snood. After a discussion with other members of the staff, however, he became convinced that it should be worn in front.
The hat may be secured by the owner by calling for and identifying it.
Other lost and found objects to properly cover some student’s coiffure are berets, beanies, scarfs, and snoods—as well as an assortment of men’s hats and caps.

Ex-G.I.s want law, air studies
Aviation and law are the two leading occupational preferences of servicemen who plan to further their education under the G.l. bill of rights.
According to a recent survey by the Aeronautical Training society received by SC, aviation is by far the leading preference of servicemen questioned in four large cities adjacent to separation centers.
One-fourth of the men listing aviation as their preferred occupation wish to become aviation mechanics, one-fifth aspire to be commercial pilots, and the remainder are interested in such phases as meteorology, photography, aeronautical radio, or related operational phases of air activity.
Many of the men wish to own an airplane for private use, and the majority of these favor an aircraft priced between $1500 and $2000.
A few rr,°n hope for a job in aviation without further training, and one-half of these wish to purchase a private plane. Of all those interviewed, the majority not interested in entering th,3 field of aviation have expressed a desire to own a private plane for transportation and skill diveteion.
Only three per cent of the servicemen interviewed wish to remain in the service.
Yet counselor arrives at SC for advisement
Ex-G.I.s will receive help at local office; Martin invites queries
Trojan GIs may now avail themselves of the services of a contact representative for the veterans’ administration without having to go to the downtown office on Broadway.
The Broadway office has sent Charles H. Martin to the SC campus as its contact representative especially to meet the needs of veterans attending the university under the GI bill.
“Although the personnel of the office of veteran affairs has been doing a good job In helping the
veterans in the university, the men under the GI bill did not have an office on the campus to meet their special problems,” stated Martin, who was appointed contact representative this week.
“It is General Bradley's (head of the veterans administration) idea to have a representative at every college where there is a substantial number of veterans.
“The training division office (upstairs) of the veterans administration Is set up to take care of students under the rehabilitation or state program, so my job is to help the men under the GI bill,’’ said Martin.
“If any veteran has a problem regarding pensions, converting insurance, hospitalization, or others pertaining to the provisions of the GI bill, I want him to come in and we can straighten it out,” said Martin.
Martin was graduated from the College of Commerce and Business Administration in at SC in 1937.
The compromise GI bill just passed by the senate and house makes loans easier to obtain, raises "the maximum government loan guarantee from $2000 to $4000 on real estate, broadens the purposes for which the loan may be made, and raises the subsistence allowance for GI students from $50 to $65 for unmarried veterans and from $75 to $90 for those who are married.
