icks' to Gather for Irish Jig
Trojans asked for an informal dance with plenty of smooth music and elbow room, and that is what they are going to get at tomorrow night’s St. Patrick’s day dance, according to Ron Hunt, dance chairman.
“Giving people what they want seems to be the secret
formula for successful dances,” Hunt said. “We patterned the dance in conformance with the results of the social committee poll, and it looks like we have a success on our hands.”
Poll results revealed that students want an informal dance that would cost between S2 and S3 a couple. The
dance committee set the dress for this all-U function as informal and priced the bids at $2.40.
Students complained that dances were overcrowded, so the committee rented the spacious Riviera Country club and limited the bids to 700.
Dancers are tired of jazzy, jump tunes and want smooth music the survey showed. To satisfy this request, Hunt signed Eddie Le Baron and his orchestra, and hired George Munford for intermission entertainment.
Terry Moore, Columbia actress, was persuaded to act as “Queen of the Green.”
Dancing will last from 9 to 1, and bids will be on sale --.-*--:--
today in front of the Student Union, Any unsold ticket* will be available at the door Saturday night.
Proceeds from the dance will go to the Trovet’s Living War Memorial fund. This fund is designed to aid children of SC veterans killed in action to obtain a college education. The Trofets are underwriting the Irish fete, and have been active in promoting the sale of tickets.
The dance is the climax of “Wearin* o’ the Green” week, and most fraternities and sororities have held their social calendars open for the event. Organization social chairmen may still pick up blocks of tickets at the student Union ticket office.

Doctor to Tell About 3-Year Anemia Study
-K Ten lucky Trojans got free bids* to the St. Patrick’s dance when they caught four-leaf clovers on the fly during the rally in Bovard auditorium yesterday noon.
The clovers were mixed with 300 shamrocks and tossed from the balcony by Trojanes wearing Erin's color. There was a mad scramble for the charms, and every lucky clcver had been redeemed for a dance bid within an hour.
Trojan band members began the rally with a parade on University avenue, under the direction of Bill Mattis. The bandsmen played "Mc-

He explained that many engineers and business men try to find the satisfaction of doing* things for people by joining organizations that do social welfare work. They seek the same feelings that teachers get from their work.
“Empathy, or sympathetic understanding of other peoples feelings, is just as necessary as the ability to teach.” he said.
Dean Hull said that the School of Education has more students than it can handle. Quality is now what the school is looking for in students, but for anyone who can qualify for teaching there are many opportunities.
“A new venture with splendid opportunity for men, is in the primary field,” he said. “For the last

He compared the teaching in the primary and elementary levels to the work of a child specialist in medicine. Although formerly just women went into this field, the need for special training has gained the interest of men.
“Ability to teach has become of prime importance in determining university instructors pay,” he said, discussing careers open in upper level teaching. “Community and university work of the instructor is also of great importance.”
Many new fields were explained by Dean Hull including teaching of the mentally ill, and the work of the school psychologist.
The next professional advisement lecture will be “Careers in Pharmacy,” a talk by Alvah G. Hall, dean of the School of Pharmacy. It is scheduled for 3:15 Thursday in the art and lecture room of the University library.

Veterans who have not received their insurance dividends on schedule should not assume the checks have been lost. Al Asa-Dorian. Trovet president, said yesterday.
Although checks were originally processed at the rate of 200.000 daily, the mailing has tapered off. The latest bulletin from VA head- I quarters lLts several other reasons for delay.
Applications which were received later than the official deadline cannot be handled as promptly. In addition, veterans with more than one serial number or more than one Insurance policy will have to wait longer, since these cases must be handled separately.
If policies were allowed to lapse or were converted to other forms of insurance, a longer period must be allowed for computing these checks.
Veterans who have not received official acknowledgment of their applications should send another form, plainly marked “duplicate." This form, No. 9430. may be obtained in the Trovet office, 405 Student Union.

Ron Hunt, dance chairman, called the rally a success. He said that sales were boosted during the afternoon, and that was the real object of the noon meeting.
“What we want to get across to the student body,” he said, “is that we have planned this dance to give them what they want. The bids are comparatively cheap, the , dance floor won’t be overcrowded, the dress is informal, and we have Eddie le Baron’s orchestra.’ ’

Couples should reach agreements during the engagement period on problems they would meet later in marriage. Dr. Mabel Lesher. AMS Marriage series lecturer, told her audience yesterday.
Although the engagement period is not a time of full confession, the past should be considered, she said. Debts, strong prejudices, diseases which have weakened the bod.1,', and the desire for children should be frankly revealed and agreements reached as to how any problems which may arise will be met.
Physical relations and disposal of the family income are the most difficult marriage problems to solve. Dr. Lesher said. Agreements on how these problems will be met ^111 do much to insure a happy relationship following marriage, she indicated.
Religion, inlaw relationships, and parent child training roles are common problems of the first year of marriage which merit discussion. Dr. Lesher said.
She stressed that, “it is better for a couple to have one or two rooms alone, rather than live with inlaws.”
Dr. Lesher gave a general rule concerning the agreements engaged couples make concerning these problems.
“Whatever agreement is made should be one which is satisfactory to both parties.”
This standard should also control their decisions on the length of their engagement and the type of wedding.
She advised couples to have their wedding before noon and to spend their honeymoon in a quiet place away from all of their friends.
