Campus Pe
BY LEOLA
Stokes Davis
Stokes Davis, president-elect of
Carolina's student body, is a man of
few bad habits. He neither smokes,
drinks, nor plays cards. When the cam
pus grows quiet in mid-afternoon, he
takes his daily "afternoon siesta."
And we'll have you understand that
few, very few, things can interfere with
this siesta!
In spite of such regular and model
habits, this rising 'senior from Sum
merton admits a few hobbies which
reveal, we believe, some of his char
acteristically human traits. The first
of these hobbies, Stokes' favorite, is
dealing in "syntactical tortuosities."
(Paging Dutch Wagener). In case
you're without your dictionary, we
mean that he likes talking to people.
Next on the list is politics, that most
popular pastime on our campus. Stokes
enjoys i.
Likea Dancing
Possibly the fact that he is an ex
cellent dancer and a delightful conver
sationalist may account for his avowed
preference for dahces as recreation, in
stead of sports and movies, in which
he is not particularly interested.
Being a charter member of the
newly formed Student League, the
president-elect is anxious to see this
organization become a success. He
urges student cooperation and support
of it. He is active in regard to work
on the annual, at present holding the
position of business manager of The
Garnet and Black. He serves, also, as
an advisor of the Hi-Y Club at Colum
bia High School.
Afternoon Siestas
Not to be radical, not to be dif
erent, but just to be frank, Stokes
likes red. Yes, vivid scarlets tend to
soothe his nerves after hectic mornings
spent strolling to classes and strenuous
afternoons spent in siestas.
His friends bewail his persistent hab
it o,f admionishin~g th em for too-fre
qluent "Quaffing at the festive board."
He reports n6 spectacular success in
his endeavors along this line.
Davis Proposes Plan
We come nowv to a proposedl plan
which we predict will become the most
talked-of topic of heated conversation
in the future. This plan is that of hav
ing twvo student body vice-presidents,

A Possible Answer
A Short Short Story
By CHARLIE AKIN
"What have they done, my son?"1
softly queried the old man. He fin
gered the tiny cross at his throat and
looked at the swarthy lieutenant with
childlike incredulity.
"They are a danger to the cause,
little father, and must be removed,"
replied the young officer, indicating a
huddled group of wretched beings who
formed a blot against the sun-baked
wall of a corral and stared at the grim
muzzle of a machine gun that menaced
them. It swayed its ugly head from
side to side like a snake with a rabbit
at its mercy.
"These poor people, my son? They]
can hurt no one. Look, they are old
men and boys." The aged friar placed<
a gnarled hand on the officer's shoul
der.
"Be off, little father. They shall die.
The orders have come from El Gen
eral. Away with you and say your
~beads to these sheep." With a shrug
the lieutenant shook off the hand and
strutted about with grim pomposity.
At his shouted orders the mass against
the wall straightened. A small moan
ran through it. The men quieted the
whimpering boys. Overhead a brazen
sun sent its rays to distort the scene.
-The gunner squinted down his wea
pon at the dancing target, cursed
the heat, and squeezed the trigger
viciously. The gun burst into fiend
ish mirth. It cackled briefly and
stopped. They were all dead,

GARETY
Margaret Farrell
Meet a lover of hot-fudge sundaes,
an ardent Hit Parade fan, a girl who
has attained the honor of being presi
dent of the Co-ed Association: Colum
bia's Margaret Farrell.
Red roses fascinate this senior on
the school of arts and science. She
likes to swim and play tennis. In fact
tennis is her hobby, and she plans to
"brush up" even more in the near fu
ture on her form, which we understand
is already excellent. She is a member
of' the Woman's Athletic Association.
An Avid Reader
When life becomes drab and she has
a leisure moment, Margaret reads. As
far as food is concerned, she is re
markably easy to please, her only dis
like being that universally hated dish,
spinach. Though she is found of trav
eling, her only trip of length was to
New York City.
White is Margaret Farrell's fav
orite color. We are informed that she
wears it often at dances.
Member of A. K. G.
She has been recently elected a
member of Alpha Kappa Gamma, hon
>rary girls' society. She was formerly a
secretary of the Co-ed association.
Comments follows:
Jane Crout: Margaret has a rare
quality; she's unaffected!
Coit Hendley: She's a true Irish type
(you know-black hair and blue eyes.)
Joe Campbell: She's tops for me
anytime, anywhere.
George Zuckerman: She has dis
played remarkable executive ability.
Harold Prince: Margaret's a good
sport!
In that recent pageant, the inaugu
ration of President J. Rion McKissick,
Margaret played a leading role. As
president of the Co-ed association she,
with Sammy Cartledge, led the stu
dent procession to the field house for
the ceremonies.
-T. U. 0.
act as official hostess to the student
body.
After this revolutionary idea we
pause only to remind you that the
author of it plans to enter law school
iext year. During his second year here
he was president of the Sophomore
:lass. His literary Society is the Eu
phradian rand his fraternity is the
Kappa Sigma.
The silence was not broken but for
he droning prayer sent upward by
he friar who stood by through it all.
['hen, as in embarrassment, the brown
oldiers scurried about removing the
>odies. The street was suddenly
mpty but for the tall, slight figure
vhich gazed into the unchanged blue
~ky and talked to God.
The revolution had started with the
ush and bloodiness of all such cata
:lysms. This had been different
hough. It had flared and j spread.
['he usual class hatred had nurtured
t but something outside gave it sus
enance. Nowv it was the worst kind
>f war. Civil war.
Now brother fought brother; no
ge nor sex escaped; the church was
lone. Father Gonzalez did not flee.
-Ie could not believe the whole sordid
hing. He stayed to help. It wvas the
mnly thing to do. The war would not
~nd until this madness left his people.
['here were no sides for him. His
was the task of caring for the poor,
:razed creatures in their pain.
Now this last. Father Gonzalez had
een wars. Those where men fought
Lnd died, but never were there whole
ale murders of the aged and young.
-lere the horrors of the blood purge
ad seeped in from lands across the
ieas. The elimination of the enemy
vas now including all, under the
ruidance of an unseen red hand.
Where could it end? Father Gon
r.alez asked God. He did not answer,
io the good friar went about his task
f mercy and questioned no more,
His village had been fought over
nanny times nnd the seeln had give
him much work to do. Now it seemed
that the army in possession gave
him but one side to tend. A shift in
the game and the enemy annihilated
the wounded of the opposition. More
and more did Father Gonzalez chant
the requiem and less often practice f
his healing skill. The town became f
a cemetery rather than a hospital.
Then one day into the midst of a
Loyalist defence came the incredable
word that in the north, where the
fighting was heaviest, even the clergy
suffered in the face of the rebel ad
vance. At Rosalia a priest had been
burned; near Santa Teresa seven had
been shot. More were missing. The
octopus at Moscow stretched its ten
tacles for more blood, and even the
holy of holies gave its share. It could
nqt be true but Father Gonzalez
crossed himself and looked up to the
sky with his blue eyes.
For three days the battle raged in
a desultory but fierce manner. Snip
ing took a fearful toll and high ex
plosives threw the defense and the
panic-stricken populace into spasms of
nervous tension. The rebels gained
ground. Before, one could see only
the white, harmless-looking puffs from
their field batteries. Now, often a
glimpse was caught of brown forms
among the oak trees a quarter of a
mile distant. In the woods now and
then flashed a bayonet and the sharp
crack of rifles could be distinguished.
To a shattered 'chapel each evening
Father Gonzalez led his flock of
frightened noncombatants. There he
prayed for them and for the salvation
of all his people. He gazed upon up
turned faces streaked with tears, lined
with hunger, fear and fatigue.
"It cannot be," thought Father
Gonzalez. "They will be safe, I know.
He cannot let them die." He choked
back a sob as he hurried from the
altar between thin rows of faithful -
women and their babes.
The following day typhoid broke
out, and very quickly the defenders
thinned. Father- Gonzalez, exhausted
but active, saw his charges dropping
no less rapidly from bullets than from
disease. He, too, fell victim to a fever
which left .him half mad at times.
He became an automaton, unfeeling
and driven by something stronger than
his wracked body.
Firing from the barricades, melted
away before an increasing hail of
steel from the surrounding woods and
plain. It was apparent that the enemy
was being strengthened. A plane ap
peared and swooped down to loose its
destruction upon the pice of crumbled
masonry from which came no effective
blast. El Captain Moreno was gone
and the defense was leaderless, al
though'individually spirited. The end
was imminent, however, and it came
swiftly. At dawn on the fourteenth
day a wave poured from the woods
and surged down unquenchably upon
the barricades. It swirled over them
in red eddies and broke in an over
whelming flood in' the central plaza.
A short, wvell groomed lieutenant of
infantry ordered a cleanup, in efficient
and smiling confidence. The soldiery
searched and drove out the living
rabbits from their warrens. Marshalled
into the gquare they bunched, a hand
ful of defiant wounded, wvide-eyed
mothers, blubbering and silent boys,
and Father Gonzalez who stood sway
ing from his weakness but with a light
in his face.
"Where is your commandant?"
barked the officious little lieutenant.
"Dead," Father Gonzalez replied.
"They are all dead, my son."
"Ayl We have done well, old one,
eh?" The officer smoothed his mus
tache and leered at the cleric. 'They
should have known better! The cause
will win!"

"And now," he lowered his voice

ather Gonzalez' shoulder at the piti
ul group behind him. "These poor
eople must be taken care of. They

Horror cloaked Father Gonzalez'
ace for a moment. Then, with sup
