Students from other neighbor ing states call it Car'lina, Cal'ina, Caro- I lina, and some Cal'iny. Students north of 1 the Mason-Dixon line invariably pro- r nounce the word incorrectly. These were 1 the findings of an interview conducted by a Gamecock staff member, through an idea brought about by a combat between a local newspaper with one published in Charlotte, N. C. Even members of the University fac ulty have originated their owvn pronuncia tions. And Louis Searson, Jr., student has called the wvordl "Carolina" "infinitely beautiful." One newspaper has suggested that a thirty-day sentence be placed upon any person~ pronouncing the word Cal'ina and one of 60 days upon the person pro nouncing it Cal'iny. This case occurred] in the state of Arkansas in recent years. Outstanding linguists of the Carolinas say that the incorrect pronunciation grew out of the transient of Northerners to the South and on returning to their homes pronoulncedl the wordl wrong, trying toc acquire a southern accent. It has also, been suggested that school teachers dIrill. their students each day in the correct pronunciation of Carolina-C-a-r-o-I I-i-n-a!
