But (ve want you here more often. Can't you arrange to run over and visit a friend someweek-end? * * * * Are you going to the reception tonight? Every body and his frieads will be there. A-nd above all inix with the rest. * * * * Mr. Van is in his glory with the track meet coin ing of f. He loves to run it so. * * * * Everybody is rattling money now. But Caro lina students haven't suddenly grown rich, its merely the pennies left from six cent dopes. * * * * Music and May, these two things go together well, we hope that the Music Festival will be a success. * * * * There may be only eight more weeks of school but entertainments at any tine help to solidify the student body. * * * * Will there ever be a baseball game on Davis Field in which less than ten runs are made? * * * * Congratulations! Congratulations everybody! Next September will see a new Postal System instituted at the University of South Carolina when the new Con tract branch of the United Sttaes Post Office will be Opened for dluty. After a long fight waged by various organi z.ations of Carolina, with TIHE GA MFCOCK play.. ing no minor role, against the present inneficient methods of handling Governnment mail and for a sub-station, at last has the new service been se cured. The announcement that the new post-office had been obtained is in step with the policy of a greater and better Carolina. No more definite steps of p)rogress could possibly have heet. taken With the new era that is soon to come there wvill be no lost letters, ii' delay in the mails, no closing of business in the better hours of the day. No longer will we have to lug a heavy pack age up town to mail it, no longer will we have to run all over the campus to find a stamp, no longer will we have to walk many blocks to secure an envelope or a postal. Ye.,, congratulations are in order all the wvay round, to the student 'ody for their new service. to the faculty and Dr. Melton for the waging of the battle, to the organizations that pushed the fight and to the Post Office department for their foresight in granting the new of fice. -- U.s.c. -- Live Wire Clubs What should be the function of Ccunty Clubs? Burnett Stoney, director of Freshman activities, gave a forceful answer to this question in his talk at Chapel last Friday. He advocates a plan where by every High School graduate in each county may be kept in direct touch with the University of South Carolina, its doings and its triumphs by members of the County Club. These often organized, usually inactive, clubs have an advantage enjoyed by no other organiza tion at Carolina-personal touch with the students in the counties. These men and women who are about to leave the High School should be in formed of the scope of University activities and its many advantages. This can be done in no better way than personal touch. County Clubs should be organized whose main purpose is to perform this function. No better service can be rendered to Alma Mater than the enlightening of prospecfive citizens nd) possible University students on the real Carolina. Stoney has offered to assist in the organization of these clubs and the formulation of a plan for active wvork. And the clubs that are now in existence? What have they done besides put their picture in the annual? Loyal students will be contributing a great share to the building of a GREATER CARO LINA by preparing a background upon which Stoney and Hope may work in the summer visits to the various towns. From your county club now, see Stoney for aid. but by all means write a personal letter, brim full of Carolina spirit and enthusiasm to the High School graduate back home. - U.S.C. - Major Raines We offer our sympathy to the Citadel in los ing a man of the caliber of Major Raines. A graduate of the Citadel he became, after service in the army Quartermaster at the Citadel. and, later director of student activities. His office was abolished at the last session of the legislature and Major Raines is to leave the Citadel. In his office as director of student activities Major Raines has left an excellent- record. He was constantly alert toward sitmulating interest in athletics. As a man. Major Raines endeared himself to the cadets by his general affability and co-operation. We wish him luck in his future career. - U.s.c. - Time An inscription found on a sun dial: "Time is too slow for those who wait, Too swift for those who fear, Too long for those who grieve, Too short for those who rejoice, But for those who love, Time is eternity." An Arabian proverb: Time is, thou hast; See that thou well enjoy; Time past, is gone; Thou canst not that employ. Time future, is not, And may never be; Time present, is the OnIt time for thee. - U.S.C. - BY JIMMY Spring Is Here Spring is here and it is the paramount thought of the day, also the paramount evil of the last half of this semester. And, worse than that, we haven't a single idea. Spring is here. We feel exactly like yotr do. WVe don't want to write editorials-the yawning space that we have to fill below is horribly appal dling--We don't want to write essays on Spring, such as this will ultimately turn out to be ; we don't want to go for walks ; nor do we want to walk cdown town to buy cigarettes, stamps, drinks, neckties or even things to eat ; we dont want to do a blessed thing, in fact. On days such as these sensible people should be found within dlarkented rooms, surrounded by silken cushions and fanned with glistening peacock feathers by stolid Nubian slaves. Sweet and oe. cult incense should b)e wafted to thle nostrils, and fronm somewhere should conme the splashing of in finitely cooled fountains and dreanly notes from viol, b,assinet and lute should flott in upon one's sereneness ;the musicians must not strum the in strumnents too hleavily, but rathler, the notes should fall upon one's ears with the softness and sweet ness of a cloud kissing a mountain top. Possibly, if one were inclined, dark-eyed damsels in airy veils could dreamily (lance. That's the kind of dlays we are having, niot days for study or mere earthly cares. Well may we rue the clay that man was condemned to work when father Adam and mother Eve were asked to vacate the Garden of Eden. They dlidnt't know what a snap they had, those two; they hadn't gone through the pangs of Spring fever, fortun ate souls. Adam diidn't know how to take care o)f such an easy job as merely living in Eden; and the old lady as usual, couldn't take ordlers. Spring has sprung upon us. It is responsible for most of the worst poetry in the world; for the most idiotic kind of Iove affairs, and, saddest of all, things like this. But-welt, SPRING IS HERE!

In the first Glenn Frank, editor o,f Century, says, "I dlislike to speak of education, religion and poli iWes as i-i they were (list inct fields. They ,pre, or should be, an indivisible unity. Isolate any one o,f them from the other two, and it is orphaned and inef fective. The professor, the parson and the politiciani are at wvork on the same job, not on three separate jobs. And that job is the achievement of ~'The Good Life' for the citizen andl the nation." MIr. Frank makes a ringing plea for co-opera tton beCtween the state and the University, asking the state to help the University so that the Uni versity may produce more and b)etter trained poli ticians. The closing appeal is: "Here, I think, is the real political function of our universities: The trainig of a race of unofficial statesmen we can trust to manage the life of society when society has pass ed out of the age of p)olitics. But this will involve a more intimate relating of state universities to the life of the States. Trhe statesmanship of our uni versity r,residlents. ini the feture, must he expressed not so much in wire-pul'ling at state capitols as in the dIevelopmnent of a more realistic and statesmanship edlucatiobn that shall enhance and enrich the common studlents. In "The Schools of the Future'' Sarah N. life of the State as well as educate lhe individual Cleghorn p)aints us a very beauti-ful picture of the schools as they will, or should we say shotuld, be in 1950. Ideas are advanced for the new teaching of his tory and other subjects and the religion of free life is p)reached throughout. -It is a very e.nterain ing-andl to some an instruetiv ....i:le.
