Campu P1e .r BY LEOLA ( Stokes Davis Stokes Davis, president-elect of Carolina's student body, is a man of at few bad habits. He neither smokes, ha irinks, nor plays cards. When the cam- de pus grows quiet in mid-afternoon, he bi; takes his daily "afternoon siesta." And we'll have you understand that th ew, very few, things can interfere with lii this siesta! te In spite of such regular and model "6 habits, this rising 'senior from Sum- tu rnerton admits a few hobbies which is reveal, we believe, some of his char- of acteristically human traits. The first f these hobbies, Stokes' favorite, is dealing in "syntactical tortuosities." a (Paging Dutch Wagener). In case fa you're without your dictionary, we m mean that he likes talking to people. lil Next on the list is politics, that most sp popular pastinie on our campus. Stokes eli ~njoys .N Likes Dancing Possibly the fact that he is an ex- or cellent dancer and a delightful conver- w sationalist may account for his avowed preference for dances as recreation, in stead of sports and movies, in which m he is not particularly interested. or Being a charter member of the se newly formed Student League, the president-elect is anxious to see this organization become a success. He qt urges student cooperation and support of it. He is active in regard to work (y on the annual, at present holding the position of business manager of The ar Garnet and Black. He serves, also, as an advisor of the Hi-Y Club at Colum bia High School. Afternoon Siestas sp Not to be radical, not to be dif erent, but just to be frank, Stokes ra likes red. Yes, vivid scarlets tend to M ;oothe his nerves after hectic mornings pr spent strolling to classes and strenuous wi afternoons spent in siestas. de His friends bewail his persistent hab- th it of admonishing them for too-fre quent "Quaffing at the festive board." ac He reports no spectacular success in bc his endeavors along this ljne. Davis Proposes Plan p We come now to a proposed plan at which we predict will become the most nec talked-of topic of heated conversation he in the future. This plan is that of hay- ch ing two student body vice-presidents, p1 one a girl whose duties it shall be to K A Possible Answer th -_ _ __ _th A Short Short Story TI By CHARLIE AKIN so "What have they done, my son?" be ioftly queried the old man. He fin- en gered the tiny cross at his throat and wl tooked at the swarthy lieutenant with sk :hildlike incredulity. "They are a danger to the cause, ru ittle father, and must be removed," cli replied the young officer, indicating a th tuddled group of wretched beings who TI formed a blot against the sun-baked it ,vall of a corral and stared at the grim tel nuzzle of a machine gun that menaced of :hem.

The war would not di until this madness left his people. iere were no sides for him. His 5s the task of caring for the poor, ized creatures in their pain. N'ow this last. Father Gonzalez had m wars. Those where men fought d died, but never were there whole e murders of the aged and young. hre the horrors of the blood purge d seeped in from lands across the is. The elimination of the enemy s now including all, under the idance of an unseen red hand. Where could it end? Father Gon lez asked God. He did not answer, the good friar went about his task mercy and, questioned no more. His village had been fought over myv times and the steel ha given 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 his healing skill. The town became 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. I 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 pile 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 fourtecith 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 id the central plaza. A short, well 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 qquare they bunched, a hand ful of defiant wvounded, wide-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.
