'r The staff of life disappears at the rate of 40 loaves a day, and when bis i. cuits are served, the cook stirs up n, enough dough to make 2,000 circlets, a an average of six or seven to a cus ' tomer. o It would take a hen six months to -e lay enough eggs for one breakfast, and i- a slab of breakfast bacon is decreased s by 10 pounds when all the break - fasteers have finished. a Oyster stew, which is a favorite dish el among the men, is eaten at a rate of around 15 gallons a meal, and when la the management served cheese toast r recently, a whole cheese weighing 20 n' pounds was sliced up, y Fear of coffee nerves is unknown h among the men, who drink an average r of 16 gallons a meal. Since the first d' day of school, approximately 75,000 cups of coffee have been poured. Ten students are employed to serve d at the two steam tables in the hall, y and approximately the same number st are needed to prepare the food for con sumption. Mrs. Smith disclosed the fact that al though special requests for diets which help reducing are frequent at the wo men's cafeteria, none have come to her at the Men's cafeteria. "However, few of the students are d followers of Popeye-all of them abhor n spinach," she said. --U. U. c BARD PRESENT IN THE FLESH d .y The bard hasn't yet disappeared. For the past several years the Shakespeare f class of the Uiversity of South Carolina n has been visited by a self styled diciple n of that great playwrite, according to Pro d fessor J. E. Norwood. - Wintering in California this vagabond e actor starts his tour at the first sign of f spring; his soul source of revenmte being the voluntary offering of his audiences. o When he first requested the time of it Professor Norwood's class in Shakes n peare he suggested passing the hat. This d being ruled out his talent was offered 1- gratis. Various scenes were delivered in t the belowing style of a stump orator, the 1- "artist" rushing from the class room and 1- back to denote a change of characters. n Upon finishing he requested a gift of re fifty cents which was granted. With this i- present as an inducement he has been re turning each spring. PUDENTS ARE NOT A BLIND DATE .. .

M. C. a A. Long a leader in this work, Ray is ti now president of the Y. M. C. A. He has formerly been president of both the r freshman and sophomore Y councils. w When he is graduated from Carolina ( he intends to follow-up this worker per- w haps go into the insurance field. Though u a' native of Jacksonville, Florida, he has' I lived in Columbia nearly all his life. b In sports Ray "goes in" for track. u He was a member f the track team dur- e ing his freshman year. One of 'his pas- t times is hunting, hunting for quail par- c ticularly. He likes to fish, especially at Lake Murray. Bowling is another of his t3 pastimes, and he's fond of taking long I walks, preferably by rivers and through A woods. Ray has a weakness for hitch-hiking, h and once, while at this (shall we say) C "occupation", he, with some friends, went an entire week with only 35 cents in his c pocket. (This was while he was a fresh- H man, else he might not have been even t that financially secure, iiu?) As a mat- t ter-of-fact, he's been on a number of S hort hitch-hiking trips. Two of them, one h through South Carolina and one to Wash- s ington, D. C., stand out most vividly in S his memory. But farther than that, we couldn't "get". He stubbornly refused N to elucidate. t While at Carolina the Y. president has c done quite a bit of traveling though not P as much as he'd like. He has thoroughly v explored most of the Atlantic seacoast, s and has been to New York, Washington, I Oxford (Ohio), and Atlanta. n Meeting people is a pleasure for Ray. He does it well, too, from all reports. o Few there are who don't know and like - his engaging grin and swift, flashing smile. He's passionately fond of danc ing, modestly claiming all the while he "can't dance". Almost any orchestra suits him; he's not partial to any. Moreover, he's fond of symphonic music too. Ray's a great believer in knocking on wood; otherwise, he's not a bit super stitious. Luck unquestionably deserted him one day, however. Having been up til dawn for several nights in succes sion, he met his English class, under that popular favorite, Dr. Babcock, fortified by a pair of dark glasses one morning. All went well until Dr. Babcock, up-set ting the regular procedure, called the roll at the end instead of the beginning of the hour. Ray was slumbering peace fully! Ah, unhappy sophomore that lhe became! Ray recalls sleeping again, later that same day, this time in the dentist's chair. He's never been able to decide which nap brought him more unhappiness. Ray holds membership in the Eu phradian Literary Society, Kappa Sigma Kappa, 0. D. K., Kappa Sigma fra ternity, and Pi Gamma Mu. During his freshman year he was vice-president of his class, on the basketball and track teams, and in the Glee Club. We've al ready mentioned his presidency of the freshman and sophomore Y. councils. This Y. leader heartily endorses stu dent support and financial aid of the Uni versity Players,- on the grounds that the organization is an asset to the University. He advocates more money for The Game cock too. Believing that new students should be given ample time to become acquainted with fraternities on the cam pus before they pledge, he is in favor of an extended rushing period. In Ray's opinion, there arc too many campus organizations at Carolina. Al though all of them are not active, they should be, and they should be fewer, he believes. By the way, his favorite course at school is philosophy. And so, au 'voir, Ray-you're going places!i -u. g. . ART SALE Reuben Gambrel! fronm Belton, stu dent in the art department, recently made a sale of one of his pictures. It is a portrait study of Sarah Perkins, junior at the University. Sarah's aunt from Pennsylvania, en route to Florida, stopped in Columbia and visited the University studio in Flinn Hall. She saw the portrait and bought it while it was still on the easel. George Bundrick, Jr. sold a portrait before Christmas. V i r g i e Bruce bought the study he made of her for her mother's Christmas present. READMISSION A committee of five faculty members to meet later this week and pass final judgment on petitions for readmission for the second semester was appointed by President J. Rion McKissick yes terday. Dean Orin F. Crow heads the com mittee, which also includes dean of men W. F. Bradley, professors Hay ilah Babcock, Guy F. Lipscomb, and J. 3. Petty. eaocC P SONALITIES a IARETY t a f n f 0 h a ii 1< e s g h E a i -a v FRANOES HART c Frances Hart, you know, is that de )tee to art who's such a prominent cam is leader, the social way. Exceedingly f :tive in many of our campus organiza ons, she's a transfer from Winthrop. ' Of all the loyal Columbians, Frances ceives our vote for the most loyal. She as born here, and would be heartbroken - yes, reallyl) ever to have to live any- _ here else. She doesn't care for travel nless it doesn't take her far from Co imbia, and unless she knows she'll be ick home soon. Even when she is grad ited from Carolina she hasn't the slight t desire to go to a larger city to work. o, it's no place but Columbia for Fran s I Frances, who is president of her sorori r, Tri Delta, holds membership also in amas; Beaux Arts, Non de Script, W. A., Alpha Kappa Gamma, and uphrosynean literary society. During er sophomore year, she was in the Glee lub. Interested and active in sports, Fran s has won a letter for basketball. She ras captain of the Tri Delt basketball !am which last year won the girls' in amural tournament at the University. he's a good tennis player, and enjoys >rseback riding. Walking a mile to chool every morning is fun for Frances. he likes walking in misty rain, too. Did yon know she had three main reaknesses? Well, in case you didn't, 1ey are: a love of all things chocolate, hewing gum, and drinking Coca-Colas. lthough we shrink from charges of ad !rtising, Frances insists that it be known he considers nothing comparable to |eech Nut gum, with Dentyne only a iediocre substitute. By her own admission, spelling is just ne of those things she just can't do. HE SEES WI Like so many o! Tobacco Auctioi WHsi-EN'HOIu ather give her something like dancing, ad she's happy. In the way of dance tusic she prefers the type that's "sweet rid low." While she doesn't care par cularly for poetry, she enjoys novels. Frances likes movies, too, and the ugly tors and actresses rather than the perfect beauty" types. She thinks the rmer are vastly more interesting. In Lotion pictures she enjoys comedy, but e iuch prefers sad endings to happy ones. s The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Aw- . ul Truth" were two of Frances' fav rites. Asked about her hobbies, she named er sorority her chief one, with printing a close second. You see, she's major- t ig in art at Carolina, and plans to fol- r iw this up by doing printing work in ngraving offices when she finishes :hool. The Tri Delt president thinks more I iris at the University should form the t ibit of dropping in at the Student Union uilding. She advocates the introduction t Carolina of courses in costume-de igning and general radio training. I Since her senior year at high school she as kept her scrapbook up-to-date, start- a tg a new one each year. As regards that i II important topic, dothes, she likes r rearing beige and brown. Here's anoth- < r tip: she prefers brunettes. "Blondes i in't be trusted," she insists. Oh, Frances I Friendliness is one trait she demands r i those whom she admires. She believes < er oddest habit is liking ugly people. Her l avorite course at school is astronomy, ] nd her pet hates are foreign languages. ihe gets no end of fun out of speaking people on the campus who don't know ie knows them. It gives her a psycholog- ] :al advantage, or something. 1 When your. car has ar tern, see us.
